AFTER THE NUCLEAAR BOMB
A EUII after actions report
Giorgio looked around. What had once been a beautiful land, was now a rock desert. What had once been a grand city, was now ruins and old, burnt our cars. What had once been lovely, happy children, was now mutated human-dog crossbreeds,
He sighed and took a step forward, and stepped on something metally. He picked it up. It was a mangled old sign that said "Venice --> 200 kilometres". He looked at it and smiled.
He turned around. People were climbing out of the bunker that had been their home for 5000 generations. He lifted the old road sign high above his head, and yelled so that everyone would hear him:
"I hereby declare this land to be the land of Venice, and we are its people."
The others first looked at him as if he was mad, but soon, some started to laugh, and after soon, everyone was laughing, including Giorgio. The nation of Venice had been born.

After the NucleAAR bomb
A Europa Universalis 2 after action report
Scenario: Random scenario made with the EU2 random scenario generator
Difficulty: Hard/Furious
Nation: Venice
Episode 1: The Republic of Venice
After careful calculations, it was decided that the Bomb had been dropped 1440 years ago, and so, the people of Venice declared the year to be 1440 after the Bomb Destroying All of Civilization, or 1440 AD for short.
The people of Venice decided that since they were nice people, and also because they cared about equality and... and... stuff, they declared Venice to be a republic.
The first president was elected. His name was Francesco Foscarini, or old Uncle Franco by most people.
Uncle Franco's first act as president was to change his title into doge, since that sounded way cooler.
So the doge then gathered all mutants in one spot, and all humans in one spot. It turned out to be a 1:10 000 human-mutant ratio, and since that was a good nobleman-common folk ratio, humans were made nobles and mutants common folk.
And also, several mutants were made soldiers in the army of Venice, since the doge needed and army (you can't be doge without an army!).
The army amred it self with old car parts and lead pipes, sharpened them and formed them into pole arms.
The uniform issue was solved when a huge building full of butt ugly jumper suits in very childish colors (tan, pink and blue) were found: enough to give uniforms to soldiers for at least 400 years to come.
The mutants of Bosnia and Albania quickly joined the republic, and then one day, during a scouting mission, Hellas was found.
Hellas was another nation, but this nation was a kingdom (oh, the horror!). Venice and Hellas found each others to be hateful upon first sight, and while no war came initially, Venice did gain something from the deal, since Uncle Franco convinced the Hellas merchants they had to travel all the way to the capital of Venice (Ragusa) to sell their stuff.
Thus, the Ragusa Centre of Trade was founded.
And also, an old computer was found, and it was in working condition. No one could figure out how it got power, but it seemed vice not to ask questions. The computer made maps, and showed them on a screen. However, no printer was found, so someone had to repaint what they saw on the screen.
Also, it seemed the thing was linked to a working satelite and provided pictures from far above of thing. The name of the machine was Map-o-Mat 2000.
The doge was quickly summoned, and the machine was showed to him. His first response was to talk into the Com-Port of the thing, to see if it would react. It did.
"Hello?"
"Godday. I am Map-O-Mat 2000. How can I be of service?"
"Aha! It does work!"
"Affirmative, Map-O-Mat 2000 is fully operational running firmware patch 3.45."
"Sounds lovely... so what do you do?"
"Map-O-Mat supplies maps."
"So... ehm... show me a map of Venice."
"Affirmative."
A map of a city on an island in a lake turned up on the screen.
"Ehm... I am quite sure that is not Venice."
"Negative. The output is correct as of 2046 year cartographic archive. If output is not statisfactory, I link-up may be attemped, to more correctly model..."
"Yes! Do that. Show us the lands here!"
"Affirmative."
An unhealthy screeching noice was heard, and then, a picture slowly started to form on the screen. After a few minutes, it was completed. This is what it showed:
The Map-O-Mat shows the doge what Venice looks like
The doge later had much fun with his new toy.
*ending music*
Stayed tuned, for the next episode of After the NucleAAR bomb, when the doge finally comes out of the closet, Timmy the Two-Headed Mutant Monkey ins introduced, and Venice grows strong.
