I'd like to reserve India, if I may. I usually try to shy away from larger powers, but I think India would be an enjoyable exception to my norm.The near-complete lack of backstory pertaining to WWIII is throwing me off a bit though. Assuming I take up India, I would like to have been a relatively major participant in the war, but that's kind of difficult to pull off when I have no clue what the war was about. Who were the belligerents, what instigated the war, what sort of peace-treaty was signed? I can make due with some rather basic answers, I just need a rough idea of some sort.

I actually glassed part of India for you, and Pakistan. So don't think you get to get off scot free here and India doesn't have a lot of crippling drama. Because it is now.

You're welcome.

And the war so far as it's been explored is less a singular war, and a lot of major ones that happened at the same time. In a sentence I created a whole major war on the Indian Subcontinent, and have raised the concept of a large-scale war in Africa between France (and when Chapa gets around with the UK) against Chinese-back insurgency warring up a storm in the heart of Africa. Then in Europe you got Russian aggression and a war against German aggression.

Vilage's wasteland in central/South America has like-wise created a wide-spread stretch of carnage and destruction across most of Colombia and up through to Nicaragua. And there was wide-spread war in - and still is - in the Middle East.

There's also a high chance for expanded theaters in Asia as well.
