As Chief Editor and Researcher, I am taking some personal observations and including them here, in a condensed view, along with the entire report. This is to inform all readers of the facts as they were uncovered during the past 15 months of research by all the teams.
The most extraordinary facet I personally found, among citizens of the United States, be they Military personnel, National or State politicians, or the average citizen, was a common belief. This belief was, a concise thought that 'how could have happened here, this is America." Stunning disbelief was found to be instrumental in the reaction time of State and Federal resources during the initial stages of the emergencies they faced.
Much like the reaction following the great natural catastrophe's of Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf of Mexico BP Oil Spill. Both that which eventually, brought massive devastation to the Gulf Coast of the United States and caused great socio-political changes within the United States.
Western Europe is was discovered, also suffered from much of the same malaise and disbelief that extraordinary circumstances would cause entire infrastructures to fail and Government's paralyzed. Eastern Europe, more accustomed to harsher realities of life, but yet softened to Western lifestyles, have stood with more resilience to the many challenges, yet some had totally collapsed.
Russia itself is now facing massive, Balkanization, for lack of a proper term as the great expanse and size has become too large for the central Government in Moscow to control anymore.
The Middle East remains in the chaotic and revolving state of constant internal warfare that has plagued that region for centuries. It is unclear yet how the current situations will eventually settle, though much of what was once the Muslim Holy lands are now incapable of sustaining human life.
Africa has surprisingly fallen well into line of planned operations and restorations of community and services. Great pains were taken to maintain vast expanses of wilderness to remain untouched by human activities, both planned and unplanned.
South and Central America are the next big challenges we will face as much of the internal and National conflicts are still raging out of control. Resources and assets are currently being staged and moved for the eventual rebuilding process.
Most of the Southeast Asian Nations have joined ASEAN and are participating well in the total recovery programs. Japan, Australia, and New Zealand still maintain their independent stances but political movements are expected to eventually assist to bring them totally within the ASEAN mandates.
The two largest and immediate concerns that remain are India and the United Territories of Canada. Though Quebec has seceded as well as Nova Scotia into their own political bloc, much work remains to ensure their compliance with United Nations mandates. Greenland itself has become a new political power to be taken seriously due to the influx of refugees, most from Europe, though the dynamics of so many diverse cultures will keep Greenland off balance for decades.
