The Shattered Star

The global radiation levels from this war (from 1.0 to 2.6 overnight) are killing me. I can cook an egg on the hood of my car at midnight.

Is there anything we can do to keep our population alive? Bomb shelters or some such?

I'm not really in a position to get hold of Construction, Microchips, Steel, and more than 15 tech for Radiation Cleanup.

The water that my nation trades may soon glow in the dark.

There's nothing you can do to keep them alive. You just need to try to keep them happy enough to not get angry (sad is okay) enough to throw you into anarchy. Set your tax rate to 10% when you are not collecting.

You can probably stand to move your Threat Level to Low if you have to, since nobody we are fighting has enough tech or money to buy spies (which is what Threat Level protects against).

Yeah, I figured that out already.

I need to get my trades up. I can't find even temporary trading partners. Everyone is canceling, and I don't have a harbor yet for a trade ring.

Although the game maxes out the GRL at 5.00, the stats page reports that the "actual" GRL is 10.39. The previous all-time high was somewhere around 7. This means that there have been almost 1100 nukes dropped by both sides during this war. Fun, fun. Thank God we were too small to be dealing with that.

Good thing my side of the globe wasn't blown into space....
