Add in the isolation of the newly formed nations and you have a large number of kids whose earliest memories would be of being deathly ill and alone in the world.

** A lot of the Survivour Nations are implied to have matured abnomally fast by nation standards, from chibi to pre-teen in under thirty years. Doesn't seem like much until you start thinking about why that is.

* FridgeBrilliance: Austria's [[VestigialEmpire yearning for his old Imperial power]] may come across as a bit hypocritical, given his position in the Alpine Confederation. Then again, Austria during the (real life) ColdWar was pretty much a powerless buffer in the wider standoff between America and the USSR. Which would also explain why [[spoiler:he could do absolutely ''nothing'' to save Hungary during Doomsday]], regardless of what he did...
