Interesting hook! Can I ask what the deal is with the other countries in the aftermath of the war? Are they in a similar situation as NYC, under America's supervision, or is it more of a no-man's land?

It would more or less be no-mans land, a few cities here and there but America was only able to keep it's hold on New York after the war. Most other countries were entirely decimated.
