* UsefulNotes/TheCommonwealthOfNations: They've pretty much inherited what's left of it outside of New Britain and the Celtic Alliance.



!!Kingdom of Tonga
* UsefulNotes/LeagueOfNations: The main headquarters of the restored League is based here.



* UsefulNotes/WorldWarII: In addition to Cold War-era tech the Philippines uses some leftover weapons from World War 2.

* UsefulNotes/FascistItaly: The Sicilians contain shades of Mussolini's old regime.



* UsefulNotes/{{Berlin}}: The country's capital, having escaped destruction during Doomsday.
* UsefulNotes/EastGermany: Forged from the surviving parts of it anyway.



* UsefulNotes/ImperialGermany: It's attempting to recapture some of that.




!!Federative Republic of Brazil (Brazil)
* UsefulNotes/ThePope: The Vatican relocated to Brazil (mostly around Rio de Janeiro) after the destruction of Rome. Although it would be years before a new pope would actually be proclaimed.



* UsefulNotes/{{Utah}}: The Commonwealth of Deseret is one of its more recent (and prominent) members.



* UsefulNotes/ManifestDestiny: They hope to reunite the myriad Survivor-Nations back under the Stars-and-Stripes.



* [[VestigialEmpire Vestigial Republic]]: Played with. The "new" Americans claim all of the old Continental US, though the government initially held only on a handful of states, including those made out of outlying survivor communities. But with its growing clout and (relatively) peaceful expansion, they may not be "Vestigial" for too long. Not to mention the fact the US is never going to become a world power ever again after Doomsday.

The Kingdom has been renamed The Good Kingdom. ZCE and unclear examples are being zapped; add back with more context if correct.


* TheKingdom



* TheKingdom: With the exception of Finland and Iceland, most of the founding Scandinavian nations are monarchies.



* TheKingdom: Liechtenstein, which is not only still a Principality but has also become the center of the Confederation. With Vaduz as the official Alpine capital.



* TheKingdom: "Principality" just didn't cut it anymore.



* TheKingdom: Technically, it's still a Duchy. On the other hand, it's mentioned that the Duke is deliberately holding off the "Kingdom" bit until the day France is restored.



* TheKingdom: The Turks like to see themselves as this.

* ManBehindTheMan: It's suspected that Mormon higher-ups had since formed a shadow government behind the secular authorities in Deseret. Most locals however don't mind.



* FromNobodyToNightmare: Downplayed. But no one really expected that what had been scattered American communities would become a rising power, let alone that there was even a restored USA ''at all.''



* {{Eagleland}}: It makes a ''lot'' of effort in emulating the old United States, even building a copy of the White House.

!! Cuba
* TheCavalry: The Cuban soldiers who were in Angola back in 1983 were this to their countrymen. Their return allowed Cuba to not just restore order but also become a major power in the post-Doomsday Caribbean.
* CommieLand: Although Fidel Castro died in Doomsday, the government and system he helped set up is still in place. Alongside Socialist Siberia, Cuba is thus among the most prominent and successful Communist countries left standing.

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: A Cuban expedition managed to find the secret recipe for Coca Cola in the ruins of Atlanta. Which was used in Cuba's popular "Kola Grande" beverage.

!! Republic of Virginia
* {{Eagleland}}: Or rather, what America would look like if the military ran the government.
* MilitaryCoup: Pretty much how the intact parts of Virginia were brought into line.
* PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny: Subverted. While Virginian society is militaristic and the army still has considerable influence, the survivor state is nonetheless trying to make the transition back into American-style democracy.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The US military remnants sought to restore order and some semblance of the old America, even if it meant establishing a militarized survivor nation.
* YanksWithTanks: The 101st Airborne under General Thompson survived Doomsday and were in many ways responsible for restoring order in their part of the former US. The "Screaming Eagles" eventually became Virginia's elite military corps.
