Beware My Power-Green Lantern's Light
The Sydney Uprising represented one of the greatest partisan victories in occupied territories during the war. The uprising, while shortly lived, demonstrated a great flaw in the occupational forces of the Phauthi. To help understand how this was able to occur, one must delve into the occupational duties of Phauthi forces during the war. While they had developed advanced robotics technology, allowing them to utilize not only robotic infantry units, but unmanned fighter craft as well, which made fighting them even more difficult, they were still vulnerable to electronic jamming and EMP. They also didn't trust them to undertake normal military duties, with one captured Phauthi soldiers saying, "You don't trust a machine to do the job of an organic" when asked why they didn't have bigger roles in their military. This meant that most of them were used for pacification duties in already conquered territories. The drones were programmed with simple parameters, obey the orders of their superiors and to defend themselves from human attack. They had utilized a similar system to the Three Laws of Robotics, by Issac Asimov. Their automatic targeting system, which identified any armed humans, as well as four other unknown species, were deadly efficient in their job. Coupled with their armor being far too strong for normal civilian and law enforcement firearms to pierce, most armed resistance was effortlessly put down.
This was a problem realized by other partisan groups around the world, seeing how most were incapable of effective resistance. A group of hackers, working in tandem with Australian SASR, came up with an idea. The plan was risky and had a high probability of failure, but it had to be attempted. Using their remaining ammunition and explosives, they would ambush a small patrol of the RIU's at night, away from any witnesses or other patrols. They wanted to find a weakness within the robots, something not only they could use, but the rest of the free world could use as an advantage. They though that if they could get their hands on at least a few of the robots, they could learn the coding inside of it and possibly use it against their occupiers. Coordination was already difficult due to most avenues of communication being disabled, including the internet. However, an avenue in New Zealand, which was surprisingly overlooked by the Phauthi for being insignificant, had been used to communicate with. Shortwave radio's helped to connect with Australian and foreign survivors who could potentially help with this.
On May 15th, 2038, the 3rd Sabre squadron, sent out a platoon to a suburban neighborhood in Sydney with a clear objective. 50 men in all, they quietly stalked through the night around the suburbs tracking the positions of local patrols for the next three days, marking their patrol patterns and gaps. On May 20th, they made their move. With everything they had left, they ambushed a patrol of 10 RIU's at approximately 2400 hours. Having memorized their patrolling patterns down to a T, they managed to minimize their losses and ammunition while engaging the patrol. Working in tandem with radio jammers created for the operation, the drones were unable to call for assistance from the drone flights that patrolled the area's not far from where they were. In the end, they destroyed or disabled every RIU, but at the cost of 37 men killed. With each unit weighing roughly 400 pounds, they had to be lifted by the survivors into a group of trucks, which they then brought back to their hideout within the city. The bodies of each man were brought back and given proper burials in an area where they wouldn't run the risk of being disturbed. It was fortunate that the tracking beacons within each unit was destroyed in the fight, else the plan would've failed before it began.
Now with their hands on pieces of Phauthi robotics technology, they worked tirelessly, day and night, to understand the coding inside the robots. Thanks to a liaison in New Zealand who was operating shortwave radio, word of this plan had relayed itself back to the United States, who had previously interrogated many prisoners and had a rough understanding of the language. Carefully, thanks to barely any maritime surveillance being done against the world's navies, especially in the southern hemisphere, a SEAL team arrived in Sydney and delivered a rough translation of the Phauthi alphabet, which proved to be invaluable in deciphering the code within the CPU's of the robots. Finally on July 25th, after two months of arduous and round the clock working, they had finally broken the code within the robots.
Now all that was left was to create a program to override their targeting parameters and turn them against their creators. On the 27th, when they had managed to put together one of the robots and insert the program into it, they were identified as friendly. Now all that was left was to find a way to send it to every bot within Sydney, estimated to be around 100,000. It was planned that by using an array of antennas set up around the city, they could direct signal which would break through the security firewall and IFF system. Utilizing old infrastructure still set up in the city, to transmit the signal. By mid August, everyone had enough faith in their plan to finally test it. A copy was sent to the United States and also relayed to other groups around the world so it could be used. With the press of a button, the world had changed.
When the signal activated on August 15th, the 100,000 units in the city immediately turned on their handlers, who never caught wind of the plot, and slaughtered them. Given how the Sydney airport was a staging ground for Phauthi aircraft, the sudden turn of the 25,000 RIU's in and around the airport wreaked havoc on their operations. In addition to their forces being overrun throughout the city by an unexpected enemy, what was left of the Australian army still in the country, alongside partisan fighters, took to the streets and fought their occupiers. In just a day, they had driven most of the occupying force out of the city proper, with only a few airports and strongholds with heavy weapons holding out. When intercepted transmissions and even a few recordings had hit news outlets around the world, they knew they had found one of their enemy's weaknesses. But it wouldn't last long. By the early morning hours of August 16th, the Phauthi retaliated. Repeated nuclear strikes had leveled much of the city, followed by troops in radiation suits mopping up survivors and any remaining robots. Over the course of the next few hours, all resistance would be silenced as they slaughtered their way through every single survivors. All male survivors over the age of 13 were executed, with the rest being scattered into the shattered remains of the city.
Luckily the hackers responsible for breaking the code, were evacuated to New Zealand before the retaliatory strike could claim their lives. The HMAS Canberra, one of the few surviving Australian naval vessels, which had previously been stationed with US naval assets in Yokosuka, had been been ordered by the Australian prime minister to transport remains of the robots, as well as the survivors, who resided in New Zealand, to the United States and Canada for research. Due to a reconnaissance aircraft flying over New Zealand when the Canberra was leaving, they were soon struck with the brunt of bombers which crippled every port, airport, and military facility within the small island nation. Those that did survive and tried to fight back were obliterated in short order by an invasion force of 50,000. However they soon withdrew to more pressing fronts after they had confirmed their military was neutered, and claimed they would come back to finish them when the war had ended. Luckily, the Canberra escaped, but it's escort, HMAS Hobart, was sunk off the coast of New Zealand.
This act of courage and ingenuity proved that not only would humanity always rise from even the grimmest of circumstances, but that no matter what territories they occupied, we'd still find ways to fight them, even by turning their own weapons against them. Soon they were unable to use their own robots effectively, which forced them away from front line service entirely. Smaller situations like this had happened in the months following, which greatly hampered Phauthi operations, until they started indiscriminately killing off population centers whenever such incidents would occur. The codes were later used on multiple other fronts and shared with Europe, Russia, and China, who also made great use of the knowledge granted to them, which helped turn the odds ever so in humanities favor. The robotics part gained from the Australian resistance also sped up robotics technology by decades when it was properly analyzed by mechanical engineers the world over.

Beware My Power-Green Lantern's Light
With the nation of South Africa on the verge of civil war between the government and Zulu and Boer populations, they weren't as prepared for the invasion like most countries. When the Phauthi attempts to secure a landing zone in the northern hemisphere had failed, they had focused their efforts on three countries in particular. Argentina, Australia, and South Africa. When the bulk of their forces retreated back into orbit, they began a preemptive strike on the nation. Six major cities were obliterated in a series of thirty nuclear strikes. Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, East London, Durban, and Port Elizabeth were destroyed, allowing the Phauthi to create a beachhead on Earth. By the end of February, 3rd, 2032, one day after the strike of South Africa, half the country's population was dead or injured. When they began their landings in the southern portion of the country, they had met virtually no resistance. Only a few military bases in the country had been lucky enough, or in many cases, unlucky enough to survive. The few air and army bases that had survived attempted to mount a counterattack against their landing forces while the remaining cities were undergoing evacuations.
Bases in Makhado, Langebaanweg, and Bloemspruit had scattered their air wings in separate regions to distract Phauthi forces for as long as possible. However, by the 6th of February, when the Phauthi had offloaded enough of their fighter craft from transport vessels landed in the outskirts of former cities, the entirety of the South African air force was obliterated. The largest military base in the country at the time, Tempe military base, was able to move most of it's forces out of the base before it was struck by airstrikes. They had fortified the cities of Kimberley, Welkom, and Bloemfontein, as to buy time for evacuating civilians to leave the country and head north. At this point any survivors within the already destroyed cities were systematically hunted down by RIU's. Realizing they couldn't launch anymore orbital nuclear strikes(which took the form of tungsten rods with nuclear bombs in the center)in the short term without severe environmental consequences, they were forced to fight the entrenched defenders. By the 16th, those three cities were lie in ruins, the South African military had suffered 90% causality rate, and a further 25% of the country's population was killed. Only one submarine, the SAS Queen Modjadji, being out of port at the time, had survived the attack.
It was estimated only 10% of the country's population had managed to escape into neighboring nations, with the remaining 15% trapped in the country. By the time European and American forces had liberated the continent in December of 2037, much of the South African population that had initially survived, either in nearby countries or within the former country itself, were wiped out. Of the 60 million strong population that once stood, there was estimated to be 4.5 million survivors remaining, most of which were Zulu's. They had adapted to living off the land and had mostly survived the occupation by spreading apart and staying away from the ruins of cities and military bases. The regions where they mostly resided were, at least compared to many other locations around the globe, mostly left alone. It had helped that they also spread out into other countries, mainly Mozambique. Only about 350,000 of the survivors were white South Africans, who had either evacuated from the country in the early stages, or had survived the occupational period.
It would later be revealed that fifth column units within the regional occupational forces had tampered with drone recordings and data regarding holdouts of survivors, specifically around the southern east coast of Africa. This led to many survivors being outright ignored. This became apparent in regions of South America and Southeast Asia as the war had intensified, leaving little manpower to handle occupation and extermination duties. This allowed for the fifth column units across their military to take up such duties, these same units who would later call for a ceasefire and overthrow their current leadership.
In the end, Zulu populations from across all of Africa had begun to flock back to their ancestral homeland to not only rebuild what they had lost, but to create a new nation, free from the corruption of the old government who sought to oppress them. The Zulu Republic has control over the regions of KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Mpumalanga, as well as the former territories of Lesotho, Swaziland, and part of southern Mozambique within their borders. As of 2080, their population stands at 7.5 million people, most of which reside within KwaZulu-Natal. The Boer Republic, which has a standing population of roughly 500,000, are focused mainly in Limpopo, with the rest residing in North West and Gauteng. Most of the population are descendants of those who had survived in Africa or of refugees who came back to their home, seeking to form their own country. Both nations, who's population hold a deep distrust and hatred for the United Nations, for not helping them in their time of need, but for also seeking to replant the few survivors of the former corrupt government, back into power, had refused to join the United Nations after the war. With most of the surviving South African populations living within both of the new countries, who would've resisted militarily against any attempts to end their sovereignty, the United Nations had left them alone. and recognized their sovereignty.
Today, both nations hold close ties with one another, providing mutual security for one another, using a mixture of old weapons from the remains of South African military installations and captured Phauthi weapons. In terms of economy, both nations economies mainly come from agriculture, which they use to feed not only their own people, but what they also sell to the United Nations forces in Africa, which are in turn used at various refugee centers. Others come from selling scavenged technology, manufacturing, and what little market there is for coal in the world. While both nations had given their condolences to Iceland after the recent attack, as well as sending 100 combat medics each to assist with the carnage left afterwards, they refuse to take part in the upcoming war with the UN.

To help gather an accurate number of those who died in The War, comprehensive lists of every nation that existed prewar, as well as the last census to have been taken in those countries, help put together an accurate number of those who died around the world. By a combination of refugees, battlefield casualties, and estimations of bodied found in mass graves, it is believed that this is the most accurate number in regards to global fatalities from 2032-2037. This list will travel in alphabetical order of each continent and nation, as to make this list more orderly and easy to navigate. To help with understanding the measurements taken, post war survivors also include refugees found in surviving countries after the war ended. For Sub Saharan Africa, the region of Africa hit the hardest in the war, nations like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Kenya had high numbers of survivors due to their large economies and better living standards, which allowed many to flee their countries before the Phauthi moved in. Many had taken refuge in the United States, Canada, and Europe before and after the war. However due to the large tide of refugees from impacted areas, combined with immigration policies and no economic support for them, only 5-15% of refugees were found abroad. Note, this applies to global refugee counts, not just one region.
In regards to the habitability of the middle east, below is a map of nuclear detonations across the region from the war. This list does not include nations like Egypt, Turkey, or Iran, nor does it show the fallout patterns from the salted cobalt nuclear detonations. This list also doesn't include island nations, as many were left alone by the Phauthi during the war, as well as having been evacuated due to rising sea levels in the aftermath of the war, which has led to the construction of sea walls around major coastal cities.

Djibouti: Pre war population 1 million; Post war population less than 3,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Radiation from repeated nuclear strikes in the middle east drifted down onto the country, killing off many of the initial survivors.
Egypt: Pre war population 120.4 million; Post war population 80 million; Current: 135 million. Note; Realizing that the Aswan Dam was a large vulnerability to the country, the Egyptian government, with assistance from Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia had constructed a number of spillways into the Gulf of Suez to reduce the pressure if it was ever broken. While the dam was destroyed in the war, the spillways had proven invaluable in saving millions of lives.
Equatorial Guinea: Pre war population 1.2 million; Post war population less than 5,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Eritrea: Pre war population 7.6 million; Post war population less than 5,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Radiation blankets region.
Ethiopia: Pre war population 143.5 million; Post war population 35 million; Current: 47 million. On track to become nation within the next few years. Resettling efforts were hampered by eastern half of the country being blanketed in radiation. Addis Adaba, which is home to 4.5 million people, sits directly outside primary radiation zone, which divided the country in two.

Libya: Pre war population 7.5 million; Post war population 3 million; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Due to ongoing civil unrest within the country, similar to South Africa, quickly collapsed when the war reached their doorstep. Most of the population resides in Tripoli and Benghazi. Two thirds of country absorbed by Algeria and Egypt post war.
Madagascar: Pre war population 37.7 million; Post war population 2 million; Currently being used as a naval resupply facility by the navies of the UN for shipment of aid to coastal African cities. Like most island nations, Madagascar was initially overlooked and seen as a waste of time, thus giving them some reprieve initially. However, being overlooked for occupation didn't mean they were untouched. Ports, airports, military bases, and major highways were destroyed in the second month of the war. Due to this, what farmland was in the country, was inaccessible and food shipments were unable to reach major cities, leaving many to starve. However as the war came to a close, many Phauthi units still loyal to the original objective began slaughtering populations that survived in such regions, leading to such low percentages of the population surviving. Estimated to achieve nation status within next five years.
Malawi: Pre war population 28 million; Post war population 20,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Mali: Pre war population 28.9 million; Post war population 200,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.

Niger: Pre war population 37.8 million; Post war population 25,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Nigeria: Pre war population 274.8; Post war population 75 million; Current 165 million. Due to Nigeria having the largest economy in Africa before the invasion, as well a higher GDP per capita than most, this allowed a great many people to flee the country long before the Phauthi had arrived. Even when they did arrive, the Nigerian military, having bought surplus military gear from the United States, gave them the most resistance out of any nation in Sub Saharan Africa. Of those survivors, roughly ten million applied for citizenship within the United States and Canada, while the rest returned to their nation after the war to help rebuild.
Rwanda: Pre war population 16.3 million; Post war population 10,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.

Cambodia: Pre war population 19.3 million; Post war population 700,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
China: Pre war population 1.4 billion; Post war population 1.2 billion; Current 1.9 billion. Please note that this also includes Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, which reunited with China shortly after the war, the latter of which is a special administrative region.
Cyprus: Pre war population 1.3 million; Post war population 1 million; Current 1.5 million.
Georgia: Pre war population 3.8 million; Post war population 1.5 million; Current 3 million.
India: Pre war population 1.5 billion; Post war population 1.2 billion; Current 1.7 billion.
Indonesia: Pre war population 299.4 million; Post war population 50 million; Current 150 million. Indonesia was another example of a country with large rural populations that managed to survive the war.
Iran: Pre war population 89.1 million; Post war population 55 million; Current 85 million.
Iraq: Pre war population 56.7 million; Post war population 500,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Due to much of the middle east being irradiated during The War, casualty counts have been difficult. Even more so when Turkey closed their borders to refugees when the war began, closing off their only avenue of escape. It is safe to assume most of the Iraqi population was killed off. However in an odd twist, the Kurdish region of the country has recovered the best out of most regions in the middle east. This led to the creation of a Kurdish state in parts of Northern Iraq and Syria. Much to the displeasure of Iran and Turkey, they are backed by the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, and Israel, making them a legitimate nation. Kurdistan's current population is estimated at 2 million.
Israel: Pre war population 10.2 million; Post war population 4 million; Current 8 million. Despite having prepared heaviest out of any of its neighbors, Israel and its population still took devastating losses during the war, including the complete loss of its capital city, Jerusalem. Despite the number of ABM sites surrounding the city, it was completely destroyed in a nuclear bombardment by Phauthi forces during their campaign against the worlds major religious cites. That region of Israel is still inaccessible due to radiation even today.
Japan: Pre war population 118.9 million; Post war population 103 million; Current 147 million. Japan got of relatively light compared to many Asian nations, but even they weren't immune to the effects of the war. In the final year of the war, the Phauthi invaded Tokyo with every transport asset they had available, seeking to break the island fortress. After inflicting horrendous casualties on the local civilian and military population, they captured key points around the city. The JSDF was well equipped, but was lacking in experience, which caused lopsided casualty numbers. It wasn't until the US 7th fleet arrived with 50,000 Marines that their luck had changed. On March 3rd, 2037, they launched one final thrust into Tokyo, liberating the city. However it was due to the actions of one Marsoc operator that changed the outcome of the battle. During the battle for Yokohama bridge, Phauthi reinforcements attempted to move an armor column across the bridge, carrying a prototype anti air weapon. A weapon that, should it have become operational, would've nullified American and Japanese air power. Connor Morgan, leader of the Marsoc team at the bridge, reported an armor column rolling in at the mouth of the bridge. However with friendly forces to close for an air strike, Connor took matters into his own hands. As the last friendly Abrams tank on the bridge were destroyed by the enemy armoured column, he lit a flare and threw himself directly onto the lead vehicle in the convoy. With friendly air having eyes on the flare, they unleashed hell at the mouth of the bridge, destroying Phauthi forces in the process, as well as severing the bridge. The actions of one Marine led to an allied victory in Tokyo that day.
Jordan: Pre war population 9.3 million; Post war population 2.3 million; Current 5.5 million.
Kazakhstan: Pre war population 20.3 million; Post war population 11.7 million. Current 18.6 million.
Republic of Korea: Pre war population 60.9 million; Post war population; 58.5 million; Current: 93 million. After the Peninsula was united once more in 2025, the northern section of the country was left in ruin. With over half of the former North Korean population either dead or fleeing into China, the ROK took up the responsibility of rebuilding the region from the ground up. With 10 million more souls to care for, this task would prove difficult for the nation. The cost of educating them for a modern world costed billions of dollars, and in many cases, it simply failed. Even with family in the ROK, many just couldn't cope with the new life. The Republic of Korea was mostly untouched by the war, aside from occasional bomber strikes in and around Seoul. The bulk of the causalities came from Operation Hammerdown, in which the Koreans mobilized their military alongside Chinese, Japanese, and American military forces in order to free Asia.
Kuwait: Pre war population 5 million; Post war population negligible; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Region irradiated.
Kyrgyzstan: Pre war population 7.2 million; Post war population 4 million; Current 6 million.

Oman: Pre war population 5.2 million; Post war population 35,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Pakistan: Pre war population 251.8 million; Post war 200 million; Current 280 million.
Papua New Guinea: Pre war population 10.3 million; Post war population 15,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence
Philippines: Pre war population 126.4 million; Post war population 65 million; Current 110 million. Note, as with Nigerian and Ethiopian communities in the United States, the Filipino community grew exponentially during and after the war.
Qatar: Pre war population 2.8 million; Post war population unknown. Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Any survivors more than likely consisted of wealthy individuals who evacuated before Qatar was destroyed.
Russian Federation: Pre war population 137.4 million; Post war population 113 million; Current 180 million.
Saudi Arabia: Pre war population 39.9 million; Post war population unknown. Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Due to radiation contamination in Saudi Arabia, the only accurate body counts came from the ruins of Mecca and Medina taken last year. Even then, the teams were only able to stay for a short time before their suits would be compromised.
Singapore: Pre war population 6.4 million; Post war population 700,000. Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. When the remains of the Singaporean military were forced to evacuate the city, they evacuated into Malaysia, and when that failed, they fell back into China. After the war, the number of Singaporean survivors was severely limited. 250k were military personnel that took part in the liberation in the ruins of the city. Another the rest were refugees who settled in various camps throughout Asia post war, many of whose descendants currently live within the rebuilt portion of the city near the jointly operated Chinese/American naval base.
Sri Lanka: Pre war population 21.5 million; Post war population 500,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. India took in majority of refugees before the island fell and was subsequently depopulated to make way for an invasion of Southern India.
Syria: Pre war population 29.4 million; Post war population less than 5,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Between the civil unrest and distrust in the Assad government lingering from the Syrian Civil War that ended in 2020, the country was not ready for another long term conflict. However that was a moot point as much of the country was reduced to radioactive slag when the Phauthi reached the middle east. Even as refugees fled towards the borders with Turkey and Russia, contaminated water sources and radiation plumes decimated survivors from not only Syria, but across the middle east. As of now, the region is still uninhabitable.
Tajikistan: Pre war population 11.4 million; Post war population 8.7 million; Current 12.3 million.
Thailand: Pre war population 67.9 million; Post war population 15 million; Current 40 million. Many survivors fled to China when Bangkok fell.
Timor-Leste: Pre war population 1.6 million; Post war population negligible; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Turkey: Pre war population 88.8 million; Post war population 68 million; Current 125 million.
Turkmenistan: Pre war population 6.2 million; Post war population 2.1 million; Current 4.5 million.
United Arab Emirates: Pre war population 11.1 million; Post war population unknown. Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Region covered in radiation left over from the war.
Uzbekistan: Pre war population 34.7 million; Post war population 30 million; Current 42 million.
Vietnam: Pre war population 106.2 million; Post war population 35 million; Current 92 million. Most of the post war population either fled into China or to the United States during the war, most of which returned post war.
Yemen: 37.5 million; Post war population negligible; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Australia and New Zealand:
Australia: Pre war population 29 million; Post war population 2.5 million; Current 5 million. Note, most adults of fighting age were killed during the five year occupational period. It was due to the decision of sympathetic elements within the Phauthi that children and elderly were relegated to Tasmania during the war. However, with conditions rivaling the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, many elderly and young children were killed within those five years. Those who survived were forever changed as individuals and had been diagnosed with some type of mental disorder by the end of the war. The population of adults between the ages of 20-55 in mainland Australia numbered less than 20,000 throughout the whole nation. Another half million had made it to New Zealand, the United States, and Canada, before all avenues of escape were cut off. It was miraculous that Australia had managed to become a functional nation once more, although a heavily scarred and fragile one.
New Zealand: Pre war population 5.1 million; Post war population 3 million; Current 5 million. Aside from the retaliatory strike the country faced after the Sydney Uprising, which killed half a million New Zealanders, the country escaped the war almost unscathed. However, various factors ranging from destroyed infrastructure and lack of imports, led to shortages of many essential goods. Fuel was exhausted and transportation of food to the major cities was cut off, which lead to starvation in major urban areas. Winter was also a major issue for the country, as power was strictly rationed, led to many freezing to death over the years. Even as militaries tried in secret to supply the country, it was proven to be useless as the Phauthi destroyed anything that got to close to the island nation. Such chaos over the next five years led to the deaths of another 1.5 million people.

South America
Argentina: Pre war population 50 million; Post war population 1.5 million; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Note, most survivors took refuge in the United States during and after the war.
Bolivia: Pre war population 13.4 million; Post war population 150,000; Current 400,000, nation no longer in existence. Note, while the region is integrated within American Command, the nation is far from having a stable government. It is integrated simply due to the number of the population that serves and is deployed within the region. It is being decided whether or not Brazil will incorporate the territory of the former nation into it's own.
Brazil: Pre war population 230 million; Post war population 40 million; Current 100 million. Note, most survivors kept around the coastlines and rural areas throughout the country if they were unable to escape the country.
Chile: Pre war population 20.4 million; Post war population 3 million; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. While roughly 1 million refugees settled in the United States post war, the remainder returned to rebuild their country.

In regards to the habitability of the middle east, below is a map of nuclear detonations across the region from the war. This list does not include nations like Egypt, Turkey, or Iran, nor does it show the fallout patterns from the salted cobalt nuclear detonations. This list also doesn't include island nations, as many were left alone by the Phauthi during the war, as well as having been evacuated due to rising sea levels in the aftermath of the war, which has led to the construction of sea walls around major coastal cities.

Africa:
Algeria: Pre war population 49.1 million; Post war population 25 million; Current 55 million
Angola: Pre war population 41.6 million; Post war population 5 million; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. City of New Luanda is home to roughly 5 million people, many of which are descendants of survivors from across Africa. City and surrounding region under UN control, but city has local government, otherwise isn't a country as of 2080. Could change within the decade.

Cote d'Ivoire: Pre war population 33.5 million; Post war population 230,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Djibouti: Pre war population 1 million; Post war population less than 3,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Radiation from repeated nuclear strikes in the middle east drifted down onto the country, killing off many of the initial survivors.
Egypt: Pre war population 120.4 million; Post war population 80 million; Current: 135 million. Note; Realizing that the Aswan Dam was a large vulnerability to the country, the Egyptian government, with assistance from Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia had constructed a number of spillways into the Gulf of Suez to reduce the pressure if it was ever broken. While the dam was destroyed in the war, the spillways had proven invaluable in saving millions of lives.
Equatorial Guinea: Pre war population 1.2 million; Post war population less than 5,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Eritrea: Pre war population 7.6 million; Post war population less than 5,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Radiation blankets region.
Ethiopia: Pre war population 143.5 million; Post war population 35 million; Current: 47 million. On track to become nation within the next few years. Resettling efforts were hampered by eastern half of the country being blanketed in radiation. Addis Adaba, which is home to 4.5 million people, sits directly outside primary radiation zone, which divided the country in two.
Gabon: Pre war population 2.4 million; Post war population 7,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Gambia: Pre war population 3.2 million; Post war population less than 4,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.

Lesotho: Pre war population 2.5 million; Post war population less than 5,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Liberia: Pre war population 6.7 million; Post war population 120,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Libya: Pre war population 7.5 million; Post war population 3 million; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Due to ongoing civil unrest within the country, similar to South Africa, quickly collapsed when the war reached their doorstep. Most of the population resides in Tripoli and Benghazi. Two thirds of country absorbed by Algeria and Egypt post war.
Madagascar: Pre war population 37.7 million; Post war population 2 million; Currently being used as a naval resupply facility by the navies of the UN for shipment of aid to coastal African cities. Like most island nations, Madagascar was initially overlooked and seen as a waste of time, thus giving them some reprieve initially. However, being overlooked for occupation didn't mean they were untouched. Ports, airports, military bases, and major highways were destroyed in the second month of the war. Due to this, what farmland was in the country, was inaccessible and food shipments were unable to reach major cities, leaving many to starve. However as the war came to a close, many Phauthi units still loyal to the original objective began slaughtering populations that survived in such regions, leading to such low percentages of the population surviving. Estimated to achieve nation status within next five years.
Malawi: Pre war population 28 million; Post war population 20,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.

Due to Nigeria having the largest economy in Africa before the invasion, as well a higher GDP per capita than most, this allowed a great many people to flee the country long before the Phauthi had arrived. Even when they did arrive, the Nigerian military, having bought surplus military gear from the United States, gave them the most resistance out of any nation in Sub Saharan Africa. Of those survivors, roughly ten million applied for citizenship within the United States and Canada, while the rest returned to their nation after the war to help rebuild.

China: Pre war population 1.4 billion; Post war population 1.2 billion; Current 1.9 billion. Please note that this also includes Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, which reunited with China shortly after the war, the latter of which is a special administrative region.
Cyprus: Pre war population 1.3 million; Post war population 1 million; Current 1.5 million.
Georgia: Pre war population 3.8 million; Post war population 1.5 million; Current 3 million.
India: Pre war population 1.5 billion; Post war population 1.2 billion; Current 1.7 billion.
Indonesia: Pre war population 299.4 million; Post war population 50 million; Current 150 million. Indonesia was another example of a country with large rural populations that managed to survive the war.
Iran: Pre war population 89.1 million; Post war population 55 million; Current 85 million.
Iraq: Pre war population 56.7 million; Post war population 500,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Due to much of the middle east being irradiated during The War, casualty counts have been difficult. Even more so when Turkey closed their borders to refugees when the war began, closing off their only avenue of escape. It is safe to assume most of the Iraqi population was killed off. However in an odd twist, the Kurdish region of the country has recovered the best out of most regions in the middle east. This led to the creation of a Kurdish state in parts of Northern Iraq and Syria. Much to the displeasure of Iran and Turkey, they are backed by the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, and Israel, making them a legitimate nation. Kurdistan's current population is estimated at 2 million.
Israel: Pre war population 10.2 million; Post war population 4 million; Current 8 million. Despite having prepared heaviest out of any of its neighbors, Israel and its population still took devastating losses during the war, including the complete loss of its capital city, Jerusalem. Despite the number of ABM sites surrounding the city, it was completely destroyed in a nuclear bombardment by Phauthi forces during their campaign against the worlds major religious cites. That region of Israel is still inaccessible due to radiation even today.
Japan: Pre war population 118.9 million; Post war population 103 million; Current 147 million. Japan got of relatively light compared to many Asian nations, but even they weren't immune to the effects of the war. In the final year of the war, the Phauthi invaded Tokyo with every transport asset they had available, seeking to break the island fortress. After inflicting horrendous casualties on the local civilian and military population, they captured key points around the city. The JSDF was well equipped, but was lacking in experience, which caused lopsided casualty numbers. It wasn't until the US 7th fleet arrived with 50,000 Marines that their luck had changed. On March 3rd, 2037, they launched one final thrust into Tokyo, liberating the city. However it was due to the actions of one Marsoc operator that changed the outcome of the battle. During the battle for Yokohama bridge, Phauthi reinforcements attempted to move an armor column across the bridge, carrying a prototype anti air weapon. A weapon that, should it have become operational, would've nullified American and Japanese air power. Connor Morgan, leader of the Marsoc team at the bridge, reported an armor column rolling in at the mouth of the bridge. However with friendly forces to close for an air strike, Connor took matters into his own hands. As the last friendly Abrams tank on the bridge were destroyed by the enemy armoured column, he lit a flare and threw himself directly onto the lead vehicle in the convoy. With friendly air having eyes on the flare, they unleashed hell at the mouth of the bridge, destroying Phauthi forces in the process, as well as severing the bridge. The actions of one Marine led to an allied victory in Tokyo that day.
Jordan: Pre war population 9.3 million; Post war population 2.3 million; Current 5.5 million.
Kazakhstan: Pre war population 20.3 million; Post war population 11.7 million. Current 18.6 million.
Republic of Korea: Pre war population 60.9 million; Post war population; 58.5 million; Current: 93 million. After the Peninsula was united once more in 2025, the northern section of the country was left in ruin. With over half of the former North Korean population either dead or fleeing into China, the ROK took up the responsibility of rebuilding the region from the ground up. With 10 million more souls to care for, this task would prove difficult for the nation. The cost of educating them for a modern world costed billions of dollars, and in many cases, it simply failed. Even with family in the ROK, many just couldn't cope with the new life. The Republic of Korea was mostly untouched by the war, aside from occasional bomber strikes in and around Seoul. The bulk of the causalities came from Operation Hammerdown, in which the Koreans mobilized their military alongside Chinese, Japanese, and American military forces in order to free Asia.
Kuwait: Pre war population 5 million; Post war population negligible; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Region irradiated.
Kyrgyzstan: Pre war population 7.2 million; Post war population 4 million; Current 6 million.
Laos: Pre war population 8.6 million; Post war population 327,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Lebanon: Pre war population 5.3 million; Post war population 1 million; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Territory controlled by Israel and Turkey until government is established.

Nepal: Pre war population 33.5 million; Post war population 27 million; Current 35 million.
Oman: Pre war population 5.2 million; Post war population 35,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Pakistan: Pre war population 251.8 million; Post war 200 million; Current 280 million.
Papua New Guinea: Pre war population 10.3 million; Post war population 15,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence
Philippines: Pre war population 126.4 million; Post war population 65 million; Current 110 million. Note, as with Nigerian and Ethiopian communities in the United States, the Filipino community grew exponentially during and after the war.
Qatar: Pre war population 2.8 million; Post war population unknown. Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Any survivors more than likely consisted of wealthy individuals who evacuated before Qatar was destroyed.
Russian Federation: Pre war population 137.4 million; Post war population 113 million; Current 180 million.
Saudi Arabia: Pre war population 39.9 million; Post war population unknown. Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Due to radiation contamination in Saudi Arabia, the only accurate body counts came from the ruins of Mecca and Medina taken last year. Even then, the teams were only able to stay for a short time before their suits would be compromised.
Singapore: Pre war population 6.4 million; Post war population 700,000. Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. When the remains of the Singaporean military were forced to evacuate the city, they evacuated into Malaysia, and when that failed, they fell back into China. After the war, the number of Singaporean survivors was severely limited. 250k were military personnel that took part in the liberation in the ruins of the city. Another the rest were refugees who settled in various camps throughout Asia post war, many of whose descendants currently live within the rebuilt portion of the city near the jointly operated Chinese/American naval base.
Sri Lanka: Pre war population 21.5 million; Post war population 500,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. India took in majority of refugees before the island fell and was subsequently depopulated to make way for an invasion of Southern India.
Syria: Pre war population 29.4 million; Post war population less than 5,000; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Between the civil unrest and distrust in the Assad government lingering from the Syrian Civil War that ended in 2020, the country was not ready for another long term conflict. However that was a moot point as much of the country was reduced to radioactive slag when the Phauthi reached the middle east. Even as refugees fled towards the borders with Turkey and Russia, contaminated water sources and radiation plumes decimated survivors from not only Syria, but across the middle east. As of now, the region is still uninhabitable.
Tajikistan: Pre war population 11.4 million; Post war population 8.7 million; Current 12.3 million.
Thailand: Pre war population 67.9 million; Post war population 15 million; Current 40 million. Many survivors fled to China when Bangkok fell.
Timor-Leste: Pre war population 1.6 million; Post war population negligible; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Turkey: Pre war population 88.8 million; Post war population 68 million; Current 125 million.
Turkmenistan: Pre war population 6.2 million; Post war population 2.1 million; Current 4.5 million.
United Arab Emirates: Pre war population 11.1 million; Post war population unknown. Current N/A, nation no longer in existence. Region covered in radiation left over from the war.
Uzbekistan: Pre war population 34.7 million; Post war population 30 million; Current 42 million.
Vietnam: Pre war population 106.2 million; Post war population 35 million; Current 92 million. Most of the post war population either fled into China or to the United States during the war, most of which returned post war.
Yemen: 37.5 million; Post war population negligible; Current N/A, nation no longer in existence.
Australia and New Zealand:
Australia: Pre war population 29 million; Post war population 2.5 million; Current 5 million. Note, most adults of fighting age were killed during the five year occupational period. It was due to the decision of sympathetic elements within the Phauthi that children and elderly were relegated to Tasmania during the war. However, with conditions rivaling the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, many elderly and young children were killed within those five years. Those who survived were forever changed as individuals and had been diagnosed with some type of mental disorder by the end of the war. The population of adults between the ages of 20-55 in mainland Australia numbered less than 20,000 throughout the whole nation. Another half million had made it to New Zealand, the United States, and Canada, before all avenues of escape were cut off. It was miraculous that Australia had managed to become a functional nation once more, although a heavily scarred and fragile one.
New Zealand: Pre war population 5.1 million; Post war population 3 million; Current 5 million. Aside from the retaliatory strike the country faced after the Sydney Uprising, which killed half a million New Zealanders, the country escaped the war almost unscathed. However, various factors ranging from destroyed infrastructure and lack of imports, led to shortages of many essential goods. Fuel was exhausted and transportation of food to the major cities was cut off, which lead to starvation in major urban areas. Winter was also a major issue for the country, as power was strictly rationed, led to many freezing to death over the years. Even as militaries tried in secret to supply the country, it was proven to be useless as the Phauthi destroyed anything that got to close to the island nation. Such chaos over the next five years led to the deaths of another 1.5 million people.

Beware My Power-Green Lantern's Light
After Action Report:
Many factors were recorded as for why the battle occurred and ended the way it did. The first and foremost reason was the close proximity of Ground Zero to Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. The object which we now know as "The GATE" was located roughly 14.5 kilometers from the city. Due to the relatively small police force, as well as the fact that Iceland has no formal military, lead to horrifically high casualties in the areas closest to "The GATE". The statistics below outline the lives lost in each of the surrounding towns and municipalities.
hafnarfjörður: The town was given very little in the way of warning, but it was still enough for many civilians to evacuate before the Saderan army arrived. However, the small police presence, coupled with jammed roadways from thousands of people trying to escape, led to the death and capture of 5,391 of the 42,876 of the population. A 12% loss in population.
Garðabær: The region closest to Ground Zero, Alftanes, which is a part of the municipality of Garðabær was among the hardest percentage wise in terms of overall casualties. Of the prewar population of 24,375, 7,942 people were killed or captured, equaling 32.5% of the population.
Kópavogur: Due to the distance of Kópavogur from Ground Zero, there was enough time for a large majority of the population to begin evacuation procedures and for Icelandic Swat teams to prepare themselves. However since at the time it was believed they had no means of transportation besides foot travel, residents close to the nearby port and bay were unprepared for dozens of galleys landing on the shores and deploying hundreds of men. This caught emergency services off guard and led to an evacuation route being blocked off in the ensuing chaos, resulting in even more loss of life. Ultimately higher numbers of casualties were avoided due to the Saderans viewing the streets as complex and hard to navigate, as well as having to find their way through clogged highways and roads. Nevertheless, 2,118 of the 50,000 residents were killed or captured in the attack, a 4.2% loss of life.
Seltjarnarnes: Despite being farther away from Ground Zero in Alftanes, a second point, known as Bravo Point, had been opened in the nearby bay, which embarked hundreds of troops onto their shores. The municipality became the staging ground for their naval forces, which used it to advance into Reykjavik quicker than the ground forces already on their way. Due to no warning and no expectation of naval force to embark forces, there were catastrophic casualties. 4,587 of the 6,100 residents were killed or captured, a 75% percent loss of life. This was the hardest hit region by the Saderan army.
Reykjavik: Reykjavik was the farthest the Saderan army had gotten before their logistical line was stretched to thin and they were meeting considerable resistance from police and Swat teams throughout the city. When they had finally reached it, they began an orgy of rape, murder, and pillaging when they were informed it was the capital of the city. They even raided and burnt every foreign embassy to the ground, killed the security personnel, and captured the embassy staff. Thankfully, many thousands had fled north on the highways away from the invading force, but the coastal areas meant that important evacuation points, such as Route 40 and Reykjavik airport, were cutoff and trapped many fleeing civilian between the Saderan army. Of the 167,000 residents within the city, 6,563 were killed or captured, a loss of 3.9% of the population.
By 2080, due to not being affected by the war many decades before, and seeing a baby boom like every nation on the planet after the war decades before, Iceland's population before the battle was 423,713 people. After the battle, there were a total of 26,601 Icelandic civilians either dead or captured and brought onto the other side of what we call "The GATE", which was a 6.2% loss. Of those dead, 503 of those belonged to the 1,100 large Icelandic police force. This isn't taking into account the 567 dead foreign nationals and 111 missing, nor the military casualties which will be detailed below. This represents the single largest loss of civilian life since the war ended almost 43 years ago.
Military casualties: Once US Marines from the 26th MEU had arrived, the painstaking task of clearing out stragglers had begun. While major fighting had ended on the 4th, sporadic fighting ended on the 6th, when the last Saderan army troops had surrendered to them. Of the 150,000 strong invasion force that had invaded Iceland, an estimated 50,000 legionaries had been killed, alongside 35,000 auxiliary, leading to a total 85,000 killed. A total of ten thousand legionaries and auxiliary were captured in the aftermath, with the rest of the invasion force retreating back behind "The GATE". of the 150 "Wyverns" that had fought in the battle, two were captured alive and were moved to a secure location for research. The giant "Flame Dragon" that appeared from the "GATE" was also moved for study in a secure location. However it soon became clear that it wasn't the only creature to come from the "GATE" located in the bay, as another creature the same size as the "Flame Dragon" was detected and tracked by the USS John Paul Jones roughly 5 miles north of Reykjavik and was hunted down and killed just outside of the town of Gardur by the USS Barack Obama, on December 5th. Due to the potential of more alien species wreaking havoc on the environment, a massive sea net was built around the perimeter of that section of the bay.
UN casualties were comparatively light, given how outnumbered they were against Saderan forces.
The United States: By the end of the fighting, two Marine Corps UH-700 transport helicopters were destroyed, and a total of 30 marines and 22 airborne were killed in action. Two marine LAV-30's were damaged in the battle, but both were repairable. 3 member of an FBI HRT were also killed while clearing a residential district on the 6th.
Canada: Four Humvees, one M-ATV, and one LAV-30 was lost in action, with another mission killed, but repairable. A total of 35 Canadian soldiers were killed.
The United Kingdom: One FV435, one transport truck, and three land rovers were lost. A total of 26 royal marines and 17 army airborne were killed in the fight.
Russia: One Bulat APC and 23 airborne troops were lost.
Norway: 7 soldiers.
France: 8 soldiers and 6 GIGN.
Germany: 4 soldiers and 5 GSG9.
Denmark: 10 soldiers.
Sweden: 3 soldiers.
Poland: 5 soldiers.
A total of 204 soldiers and police officers from 10 different nations died in their mission to drive the enemy from Reykjavik and the surrounding towns.
On an unrelated, but still interesting topic, Phauthi military vessels were recently observed swarming one of their colonies on the moon of Titan. Why they moved such a substantial force into place and what it means is currently up in the air. The UNSS Icarus 01, a special reconnaissance vessel under joint UN control, has been dispatched to get a closer look and report their findings.

A 12% loss in population.
Garðabær: The region closest to Ground Zero, Alftanes, which is a part of the municipality of Garðabær was among the hardest percentage wise in terms of overall casualties. Of the prewar population of 24,375, 7,942 people were killed or captured, equaling 32.5% of the population.
Kópavogur: Due to the distance of Kópavogur from Ground Zero, there was enough time for a large majority of the population to begin evacuation procedures and for Icelandic Swat teams to prepare themselves. However since at the time it was believed they had no means of transportation besides foot travel, residents close to the nearby port and bay were unprepared for dozens of galleys landing on the shores and deploying hundreds of men. This caught emergency services off guard and led to an evacuation route being blocked off in the ensuing chaos, resulting in even more loss of life. Ultimately higher numbers of casualties were avoided due to the Saderans viewing the streets as complex and hard to navigate, as well as having to find their way through clogged highways and roads. Nevertheless, 2,118 of the 50,000 residents were killed or captured in the attack, a 4.2% loss of life.
Seltjarnarnes: Despite being farther away from Ground Zero in Alftanes, a second point, known as Bravo Point, had been opened in the nearby bay, which embarked hundreds of troops onto their shores. The municipality became the staging ground for their naval forces, which used it to advance into Reykjavik quicker than the ground forces already on their way. Due to no warning and no expectation of naval force to embark forces, there were catastrophic casualties. 4,587 of the 6,100 residents were killed or captured, a 75% percent loss of life. This was the hardest hit region by the Saderan army.
Reykjavik: Reykjavik was the farthest the Saderan army had gotten before their logistical line was stretched to thin and they were meeting considerable resistance from police and Swat teams throughout the city. When they had finally reached it, they began an orgy of rape, murder, and pillaging when they were informed it was the capital of the city. They even raided and burnt every foreign embassy to the ground, killed the security personnel, and captured the embassy staff. Thankfully, many thousands had fled north on the highways away from the invading force, but the coastal areas meant that important evacuation points, such as Route 40 and Reykjavik airport, were cutoff and trapped many fleeing civilian between the Saderan army. Of the 167,000 residents within the city, 6,563 were killed or captured, a loss of 3.9% of the population.
By 2080, due to not being affected by the war many decades before, and seeing a baby boom like every nation on the planet after the war decades before, Iceland's population before the battle was 423,713 people. After the battle, there were a total of 26,601 Icelandic civilians either dead or captured and brought onto the other side of what we call "The GATE", which was a 6.2% loss. Of those dead, 503 of those belonged to the 1,100 large Icelandic police force. This isn't taking into account the 567 dead foreign nationals and 111 missing, nor the military casualties which will be detailed below. This represents the single largest loss of civilian life since the war ended almost 43 years ago.
Military casualties: Once US Marines from the 26th MEU had arrived, the painstaking task of clearing out stragglers had begun. While major fighting had ended on the 4th, sporadic fighting ended on the 6th, when the last Saderan army troops had surrendered to them. Of the 150,000 strong invasion force that had invaded Iceland, an estimated 50,000 legionaries had been killed, alongside 35,000 auxiliary, leading to a total 85,000 killed. A total of ten thousand legionaries and auxiliary were captured in the aftermath, with the rest of the invasion force retreating back behind "The GATE". of the 150 "Wyverns" that had fought in the battle, two were captured alive and were moved to a secure location for research. The giant "Flame Dragon" that appeared from the "GATE" was also moved for study in a secure location. However it soon became clear that it wasn't the only creature to come from the "GATE" located in the bay, as another creature the same size as the "Flame Dragon" was detected and tracked by the USS John Paul Jones roughly 5 miles north of Reykjavik and was hunted down and killed just outside of the town of Gardur by the USS Barack Obama, on December 5th. Due to the potential of more alien species wreaking havoc on the environment, a massive sea net was built around the perimeter of that section of the bay.
UN casualties were comparatively light, given how outnumbered they were against Saderan forces.
The United States: By the end of the fighting, two Marine Corps UH-700 transport helicopters were destroyed, and a total of 30 marines and 22 airborne were killed in action. Two marine LAV-30's were damaged in the battle, but both were repairable. 3 member of an FBI HRT were also killed while clearing a residential district on the 6th.
Canada: Four Humvees, one M-ATV, and one LAV-30 was lost in action, with another mission killed, but repairable. A total of 35 Canadian soldiers were killed.
The United Kingdom: One FV435, one transport truck, and three land rovers were lost. A total of 26 royal marines and 17 army airborne were killed in the fight.
Russia: One Bulat APC and 23 airborne troops were lost.
Norway: 7 soldiers.
France: 8 soldiers and 6 GIGN.
Germany: 4 soldiers and 5 GSG9.
Denmark: 10 soldiers.
Sweden: 3 soldiers.
Poland: 5 soldiers.
A total of 204 soldiers and police officers from 10 different nations died in their mission to drive the enemy from Reykjavik and the surrounding towns.
On an unrelated, but still interesting topic, Phauthi military vessels were recently observed swarming one of their colonies on the moon of Titan. Why they moved such a substantial force into place and what it means is currently up in the air. The UNSS Icarus 01, a special reconnaissance vessel under joint UN control, has been dispatched to get a closer look and report their findings.

By the time the war had entered it's second year, it became increasingly clear to the nations of the world that an all volunteer military wouldn't be capable of achieving victory. With over one million military casualties taken within the first year alone, the world's major powers enacted a massive draft program to recruit millions of new soldiers to fight. As the war dragged on, with casualties unseen since the second world war, the United States, Russia, China, and the European powers had built numerous training facilities to facilitate the massive influx of manpower they were receiving. With tens of millions of young men and women being drafted to fight for Earth's very survival, draft dodgers were looked down upon heavily and faced sheer penalties. Execution for those who refused to serve was common, although most reluctantly joined after imprisonment and other means. In prisons throughout the world, all inmates, with the exception of murderers and rapists, were given the opportunity of a full pardon for all crimes if they joined the military. The US prison system, which had the highest incarceration rate in the world, dropped to record lows with roughly 60% of inmates agreeing to serve. It is estimated that nearly 300 million men and women from around the world served in the armed forces during the war, half of which were confirmed killed in action. Post war, many criminal organizations, such as the various Mexican cartels, were also granted full pardons for their help in the evacuation of Mexican civilians and their assistance to US military forces on the US-Mexico Border Wall. However, the pardon came at the agreement that they no longer perform illegal activities, otherwise they would be hunted down and eliminated.
The war had left a deep impact on the world's surviving countries and forced nearly all of them to implement mandatory national service. Every citizen who is physically and mentally capable, with special exception made for conscientious objectors, who are given non combat roles, are required by law to serve at least two years active service, before being put into the ready reserves. Most nations took after the Israeli model for national service, seeing as it was the most effective post war. During the first two decades post war, millions of personnel were needed for rebuilding efforts throughout the world, which provided a steady career for millions of soldiers. However, since 2067, most newly trained soldiers were sent back into civilian life, only being required to train one week a month. With the implementation of the Directed Energy Air Defense System(DEAD) starting in 2065, which were designed to serve as umbrellas over cities to nullify air assaults and nullify enemy aircraft. Such defense systems were erected around every major military base, city, and industrial facility on the planet, millions more personnel were redirected back to civilian life as to save money and allow them to pursue other career choices. Now with the United Nations Security Council having declared war for the first time in it's history, mobilization of reserves is underway at record pace.
In addition, it was also decided that regional commands be set up to help coordinate UN forces should another attack take place. Five regional commands were set up, each zone taking the responsibility of defense over it's respective continent. This however, does not mean that forces from other regional commands can't assist, it just outline the respective zones set up by the surviving UN member states. The number of active military personnel in each combat command is listed below on the map.

"This is Renee Syhan, back once again from New Delhi, with news regarding the news about the upcoming offensive by the United Nations Defense Force against the Saderan Empire. While it's been over two months since the devastating attack in Reykjavik, the effects are still being felt across the world. Bases are working round the clock as reservists and volunteers continue to flood into active service. In major cities around the globe, troops can still be seen guarding important infrastructure, in the off chance of another attack elsewhere. Right now, as I'm delivering this message to you, the leaders of the United Nations Security Council, as well as leaders from other key nations, are meeting once again in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss the troop deployments, as well as the emergence of the Phauthi within this new world. While much of the world see's this as a defensive operation that will bolster the defenses of Earth, as well as rescuing all those who were kidnapped by the Saderans, many have called this operation into question."
"Many have pointed out that the world beyond Alpha Point is full of untapped resources, which will almost certainly draw the attention of the major powers within the United Nations. Critics have called the UN military buildup a "repeat of 19th century imperialism" at the expense of the native populations. Protests outside of the UN headquarters in Geneva because of this. While we have attempted to question the UN secretary general on that topic, we weren't given a reply. However it has been stated that the first priority of the UNDF will be to eliminate any potential threat towards Earth and to locate and rescue any civilians captured during the attack. Nonetheless, this is more than likely to be discussed in detail later this evening. But above all else, the emergence of the Phauthi in this world will have almost certainly taken priority over any other topic of debate today. While many experts have stated that it's unlikely for them to reinstate hostilities, military leaders are taking no chances."
"While it was originally planned to use older, outdated gear in what is being called the "Special Region", the emergence of a peer opponent has completely changed all that. This has sparked new logistical concerns about housing, storing, and transporting new gear to Iceland. While the last few months have seen the construction of new harbors and airports, the fact still remains that it is a small country, with little infrastructure for maintaining a large military force. While many nations have already pledged a set amount of personnel to take part in future operations, some nations still haven't completely decided. However, logistical concerns are the main concern for military leaders across the globe. For the moment, it seems that the United States, Great Britain, France, China, and Russia will be handling the bulk of the logistical issues, with both America and China drawing upon their reserve fleets for future amphibious operations. As things currently stand, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from across the world have been mobilized for the campaign. Even nations like France, Norway, Germany, and Canada have opened their ranks to Icelandic citizens who wish to serve and avenge their fallen countrymen."

The first offensive operation undertaken against the Saderan Empire was a resounding success. In less than an hour, the first wave of combat troops defeated a much larger enemy force that awaited them on the other side. The first wave, numbering 10,000 total personnel, engaged enemy combatants at approximately 0715 hours almost immediately after exiting Alpha Point. Upon exiting, they encountered enemy units in the process of digging trenches and building light fortifications in anticipation for our arrival. When Indonesian, German, and Canadian tanks first crossed over, four tanks had fallen into trenches designed to trap them. However they were't wide or deep enough to prevent them from escaping. Overall, this had done little to impede their progress as they soon engaged the Class A Kaiju they had been ordered to eliminate. However that wasn't the last of attempts by Saderan troops to use the environment against our forces.
Infantry units across the hill had been ambushed by Saderan legionaries and Immortals. While this had initially caught our forces by surprise, as well as being responsible for the bulk of casualties that day, IFV's had taken up positions in front of the advancing infantry and cleared the way for them to dig in against the bulk of the defending force that was ahead of them. As the battle between the tanks an the Kaiju heated up, the main force of the enemy began their advance up the hill. While the infantry waited for the Saderans to get within range, snipers targeted Centurions, and mortarmen began sending shells downrange to degrade the enemy's numbers. It was at this point, an as of yet unseen enemy unit had made it's way onto the battlefield. Three extremely tall and heavily armored creatures began to charge towards the positions taken by infantry units on the hill. They were observed as having a blue aura that surrounded them, which made them move at speeds in excess of what had been seen previously by any Saderan units, save the Class A and Class B Kaiju.
These creatures, according to information gathered by one of the prisoners taken in the aftermath of the battle, are known as ogres. They were equipped with steel plates half an inch thick in some places, were magically enhanced to have more speed and durability than what they would normally have. Even when hit with 40mm APFSDS rounds, they continued onwards. It wasn't until antitank missiles from forward infantry and IFV's had been fired, that they finally went down. Upon closer inspection of the corpses recovered, their bodies were had suffered no external damage from the attacks. It was determined that the explosive force from the antitank missiles had liquefied their insides, killing them instantly. This means that while their armor can protect them entirely from small arms and auto cannon fire, proper antitank weapons will kill them with a direct hit.
The first being on the topic of the Class A Kaiju encountered on the hill. The latest recon had reported that one Kaiju, as well as 1,000 enemy combatants had disappeared from the hill roughly a week before the invasion began. The two Class A Kaiju, were noted as being intelligent enough to observe the limits of the tanks sent to kill them. They realized the tank cannons could only elevate so high, so they would frequently fly upward and try to dive downward onto a tank. This led to tank commanders ordering gunners to target their wings and ground them. Despite the loss of several tanks previously, they had killed both Kaiju, at the cost of hundreds of APFSDS shells in the process.
Despite this, there was one thing that hadn't been taken into account. As each Kaiju died, it let out a loud cry of pain before succumbing to their wounds. This had attracted the mother Kaiju, which proceeded to attack the tank companies. The sheer size and speed of the mother Kaiju made it even more difficult to fight, especially since most of the tanks had expended upwards of 50% of their ammunition. It was thanks to the arrival of three more armored companies, American, Russian, and Chinese specifically, as well as flatbed mounted railguns, that the mother had been brought down.
Meanwhile the Saderan legionaries that attempted to get to the top of the hill and take it back, were in full retreat. Tens of thousands had been killed by a combination of mortar, auto cannon, and small arms fire from soldiers and vehicles, and all of their air power had been neutralized by British AA guns. The sight of the Class A Kaiju dead on the battlefield was the last straw. The few thousand legionaries that remained alive had begun a disorganized retreat back towards their encampment. All except the Immortals, who kept on advancing forward. Whether it was sheer stupidity, or simply because they lack fear or a sense of self preservation, had eventually made it to the outer defensive line on the hill. Despite losing half their number from IFV's and infantry, hundreds still plowed directly into the infantry forces on the hill. It was here the bulk of both KIA and WIA had come from, as small arms proved no match for their armor and magic. The Immortals had forced many in the outer defensive line to fall back and allow the vehicles to take them down.
Once the last Immortal was killed, the push was made towards the Saderan encampment, with stereo systems attached to many vehicles calling for the surrender of their remaining forces. Being surrounded with no way out, most had laid down their arms and surrender en masse. Those that attempted to fight back were easily killed. Among those captured during the surrender were three individuals who may prove to be of great use to further operations. The first of which is one 'Marcus Asinius', who was the Legate of the forces assigned to defend against our forces when we came through Alpha Point. Special forces operatives had captured him in his war tent as he tried to organize his remaining forces into a retreat. It's likely he knows the locations of military garrisons and fortifications around the continent. Recommend immediate transfer to intelligence agencies for interrogation.
The next is an individual known as 'Flat El Coda', who from information gathered, appears to be an Imperial mage. The same mage responsible for providing protection to the ogres encountered previously in the battle. Individual is currently under watch from special forces operatives that captured him earlier. The third individual is an as of yet unknown species of demihuman. Individual is a female with birdlike features across her body. Blue and green feathers covering her head and arms, as well as having traditional birdlike legs and feet. According to sniper reports, this individual was responsible for manipulating wind patters, as to make bullets fired from infantry miss their targets. One sniper was quoted as saying "It's as if she conjured a small tornado around her body", when used to describe what he had seen. Subject was found near a crater from a mortar round, having cuts and bruises across her body, but otherwise alive. Just as with the legate, I recommend these individuals be handed over to proper agencies for interrogation on what they know.
Of the 55,000 enemy combatants that engaged in fighting with our forces, we've captured a total of 5,679 Saderan legionaries and demihumans in the aftermath of the fighting. It's estimated that a further 200-300 managed to escape into the nearby forested area. As of yet, no teams have been dispatched to find them. Below is a detailed account of losses for both sides of the battle.
Casualties
The overall number of casualties for Saderan forces is nearly the entire force, including every dragon and wyvern they had. Nearly 50,000 enemy combatants had been killed in this battle, with the remainder being taken prisoner or fleeing the area. Dead and wounded on our side, despite being far less numerous, numbers at 196 dead, and 171 wounded.
Canada: One Challenger 3 destroyed, two more severely damaged, with 3 dead crewmen.
China: 31 infantry killed, 50 wounded.
France: 11 infantry killed, 14 wounded.
Germany: Two Leopard 3's slightly damaged(one with machine gun ripped off by Immortal), another destroyed, with all 4 crew dead.

"This is Renee Syhan, reporting live from New Delhi to bring you amazing news! Just hours ago, soldiers from nine different nations have struck the first blow against the enemy that declared war against our world, the Saderan Empire. The military operation was the culmination of months of preparation from every member of the United Nations. Military commanders have reported they now have complete control over the other side of Alpha Point. In a battle that lasted less than half an hour, the remnants of the army that invaded Iceland back in December, have been completely destroyed. It's been reported that of the 55,000 Saderans that awaited our soldiers on the other side, less than 6,000 have been taken prisoner. However this victory did not come without loss of life on our own side. Nearly 200 lives were lost, with nearly that same number being injured. But not all is death and destruction. In the campsite of the enemy, 57 individuals who were reported missing during the Battle of Iceland have been rescued."
"But this is only the beginning. As I bring this to you, tens of thousands of more soldiers and equipment continuously pour through Alpha Point, bringing with them the supplies and tools required to build a base on the other side. From there, the hundreds of thousands of men still waiting in Iceland can finally begin their mission. A mission to not only rescue those stolen from our world, but to defeat the enemy that dragged our world into this new war. But despite our victory against our enemy on land, what directly lays beyond Bravo Point, in Faxa Bay. Even now, military planners are still figuring out the best course of action for entering unknown seas. Naval commanders have suggested the use of underwater drones to scout the area for possible dangers for ships that will eventually cross the other side. But until that day arrives, all military operations undertaken will be based from Alpha Point."
"On top of the combat engineering units that have been crossing over almost nonstop since the battle had ended, additional combat units from Norway, Sweden, Spain, Japan, Korea, and Morocco have arrived to help secure the immediate region around Alpha Point. Even nations like the South African Republics, Kurdistan, and the Aymara Republic of Bolivia, have pledged support in this endeavor. Despite this however, thousands of protesters clamored around the streets of Geneva, Switzerland today, once again decrying the war effort as an unjustified imperialistic action. Hundreds were arrested as riot police worked hard to restore order to city streets."
"In other news, the massive build up of military personnel and equipment in Iceland, has led to massive improvements in the infrastructure across the tiny island nation. It's also led to a massive influx of currency from the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and international Red Cross members stationed there. This has come to great economic benefit for the people of Iceland, as tourism is not only at all time low, but a multitude of local business were shut down after the attack in December. In international news, due to recent events in South Africa, as well as scattered reports in rural regions regarding strange cloaked figures being seen in forested areas, all reservists are hereby required to carry their service weapons with them at all times until further notice. Active duty personnel will continue guarding key pieces of infrastructure across the globe, until the threat of further attacks has ceased."

Beware My Power-Green Lantern's Light
This document is Top Secret, and only available to those working in direct relation to the project, or by military, and government officials with Level 3 security clearance.
The following report was written upon the discovery of an as of then unknown object in Greenland, on December 19th, 2080, by an American reconnaissance drone. The drone in question, an older model MQ-4C Triton, was tracking the flight path of the sole surviving Saderan wyvern that survived the Battle of Iceland, which had fled after its rider was shot off. The previous aircraft tracking the wyvern had relayed its position to Thule Air Base, which launched the drone to further track it. 25 kilometers north of the base, the wyvern was reported to have gone to ground, and landed on a thin patch of ice, which is subsequently collapsed under its weight. After spending 15 minutes circling above the sight, no movement was spotted, and the order for retrieval was given. Two platoons, backed by air support, flew to the location of the wyvern, which had yet to leave, was found shortly after the team had arrived.
The creature was in no position to move under its own power, as it had been near starvation, and had attained wounds that would later be attributed to a 25mm shell from a naval F/A-32. However it wasn't the creature that is the subject of this report, rather the newly discovered cave system it was found it, and what was located inside of it. Private First Class[REDACTED]had noticed an unusual discoloration of a section of cave wall close to the creature. Once the creature had been subdued and secured, team leaders had taken notice, and alerted command at Thule Air Base. Upon breaking the ice, it became clear there was an object buried deep cave walls. On closer inspection of the area by recovery teams with metal detecting equipment, metal fragments were found throughout the cave, although the main body of the object was within the walls. Over the course of a week, the object was discreetly removed, as well as all metallic fragments that could be found in the cave system, and samples of the ice core were taken for analysis.
Once the object was loaded, they were moved to an undisclosed facility for research as to the purpose and origin of the object. From what was guessed early on, the object was estimated to have been some type of interstellar probe, based on some similarities it held to much older NASA probes, albeit much larger, and the fact that it was obviously unmanned. The writing on the outer hull was completely unreadable, as well as heavily degraded, due to the crash. However it was thanks to the ice, that it was preserved as well as it had been. Once researchers had begun taking the probe apart, it was very clear it didn't belong to either the Human Race, or the Phauthi. In fact, the technology was rather rudimentary, and primitive compared to examples of technology used today. It seemed more along the lines of late 20th century, just robust in its design. Some internal components looked nearly identical to older American and Soviet counterparts used in probes during the Cold War.
When the ice core samples had finally come back, there were even more questions raised among those studying the probe. The age of the ice around the probe was estimated to be roughly 900 years old, give or take half a century. This means that the probe had arrived in the mid to late 12th century, a time period marked with the Golden Age of Islam, the age of Cistercians in Europe, and collapse of the Toltec Empire. This not only intrigued, but also terrified many of the researchers working on it, as there was a gap of nearly 1,000 years between its arrival, and the present day. This was made worse when a single digital file was recovered from the recording equipment on the probe, which displayed a European Crusader in chain mail armor, riding a horse, wielding a spear, and shield with a cross on it. While getting a literal glimpse of the past that far back would make many historians jump with glee, there was much worry for those who found it.
Even now researchers are still attempting to recover more from the probe's inner workings, including any hint as to where it came from, but one thing was made very clear with this discovery. Whoever launched this probe was space faring long before Humanity or the Phauthi had. Both of them were pre industrial species when this probe had arrived on Earth, and its still unclear where it came from, and how long it had traveled through the vacuum of space before arriving. One thing is for certain, the galaxy, and the universe at large, is far from empty. Between us, the Phauthi, and the species they subjugated, and now this 6th unknown alien race, it only adds to the reasons we need to be cautious of our interstellar surroundings. If whoever this probe belonged to is still out there, they will have had nearly a full millennia of technological advancement, while we are just barely starting to reach into the depths of space.
Bear this in mind, and never forget it, we are young species. We've had the ability to put objects into orbit for less than two centuries. When Sputnik was launched into space in 1957, the Phauthi had already conquered their first star system aside from their own, subjugating a second species. The race responsible for sending this probe would have been far beyond them even then, just as they would be ahead of us now. Even putting aside the complete disappearance of the star, KIC 84622852, which so far has yet to been explained, or older reports from a rich and eccentric Phauthi citizen, who claimed to have seen a large fleet of spacecraft travelling from the Perseus arm of the galaxy; we must keep in mind that space is vast. There are likely to be much more deadlier forces out in the vastness of space. The best thing we can do is prepare for the eventuality that we'll once again be faced with a situation similar to that of the First Contact War, if not even worse. The knowledge that wormholes, as well as inter dimensional portals are now possible, gives humanity the chance to expand in more ways we once thought possible.
Further updates will be available when our research teams learn more from the probe. For more information regarding KIC 8462, or the rumored fleet travelling from the Perseus arm, refer to files 071 and 118 respectively.
