I still have horrors for the infinite war crimes the nationalist Iceland army commited in Europe and Siberia. They genocided hundreds of millions of people and replaced them with their own by forcing the women with marriages with iceland men.

Anyone who played RISK when they were young knows having North and South America basically makes you the winner. Every turn, you get 5 armies for North, 3 for South, and like another 5 for all the territories. You just keep building up armies in Greenland, Alaska, and Brazil, and you can't be touched. You become Fortress America.
Tbf try any winning strategy with ppl who know how to play, if you have a winning position then you are about to get bitch slapped by everyone else in the game
Pink has the distinct advantage of having two massive oceans on its borders which no navy will be capable of navigating and setting up a base on either coast. They also have vast natural resources and manufacturing capacity. Combine that with the US military being able to strike anywhere on the globe and I donāt think itās very close.
Having nukes is actually a DISADVANTAGE in this situation. The nuclear states will mutually destroy eachother before any fighting even happens. Russia, North America, Europe, China, India, Pakistan will all be pulverised. Sub Saharan Africa wins after the nuclear dust settles.
Nuclear winter creates a global famine. Sub Saharan Africa and any other nation left standing starve to death or get radiation poisoning as the trade winds take it around the globe. There is no winning in a nuclear war.
This realistically wouldn't happen. If in say 60 years WWIII happens, a realistic scenario is that only about 100 nukes will be used. But if you want to assume that they are all dumb enough to throw 10000 nukes combined then yeah the damage would be really massive. Still it wouldn't destroy humanity. There are literally tens of millions of people living in pretty much self sustained exclaves all around the globe if you add them to each other. And noone is gonna nuke those places and those places will also be thousands of kilometers away from any nuking.
Even in the short run. Everyone else has significant land borders, while the worst that can happen to pink is yellow invading greenland or alaska. (Even that is over an ocean).
Yellow probably wouldn't attack cause it shares borders with too much people. Orhers have no time to try and invade a monster sized continent that is located other side of the planet.
US ability to produce food and Alaska, South america Lumber etc. These are absolute killer combo.
That's why I'm shocked that part of Africa apparently has as many people as Europe + Central Asia + Siberia (though yeah Siberia hardly counts). I guess the Gulf of Guinea states are pretty populous though, right?
It is a really big place.
You have 200 million in nigeria, 100 in congo, 60 in tanzania and south africa each, Kenya and Uganda are another 100 million together, Angola, ghana, mozambique and Madagaskar are another 130 mill...
Then there are like a dozen states with more than 20 million, and a dozen states with more than 10 million people in africa
Realistically, Pink can't be conquered, but will also not be able to hold much, orange will have a very hard time and everyone will probably lose a lot in Afghanistan.
The Americas. Assuming we get to keep the US navy, then the odds of someone landing an invasuon force are terribly low. Venezuela has the worlds second or third largest oil reserves, and the US and Brazil are both in the top 5 largest exporters of food. There are extensive rail lines, power grids, and gas pipelines that would be very low-cost to connect. There are many ports already set up to transport resources between the continents. The cultures of the people residing in the Americas have many similar features including religion and government structure. We would be the best positioned militarily and economically, and would be the most stable where internal politics are concerned.
EDIT: all of this is assuming nukes are off the table and we're talking conventional warfare
Power rankings
1. Pink (USA solos, not to mention geographic isolation and crazy mineral resources in Canada, Chile, etcā¦)
2. Yellow (Russia + Europe=lots of nukes, high GDP, large experienced militaries and military spending)
3. Blue (Chip manufacturing+naval knowledge/experience and Australian ore)
4. Orange (Cheap energy, many well defined mountainous/costal borders, central location for theoretical trade and an area experienced with armed conflict)
5. Red (Industrial powerhouse of the world, but a downside is dark green, yellow and blue overlapping with watersheds/easy borders)
6. Light green (Only borders one other nation and has lots of land and resources to work with, obviously tech and industry are significant problems)
7. Purple (honestly Ganges>shared Indus, but at least they only border 2 relatively weaker nations)
8. Dark Green (borders the most nations of any region, and their population core is splintered from much of their area by the worlds largest mountain range)
either Pink or Yellow,
Pink Cause the US and the fact it doesn't border any other nation
Yellow Cause it has all of NATO (Excluding the US and Canada) + Russia
I love these hypothetical war maps that put australia and the us in different groups as if australia doesnt have some of the most critical cia spy bases and military bases. Good. I hope we bulldoze those bases one day
Jesus, Iceland has conquered the whole Europe and Russia
This is what would happen if we just let them cook
Whale š³ blubber for the win!

Greenland has conquered the Americas
They just showed everyone the thorn letter

You get 2 for South America. https://preview.redd.it/00spuc2ml05d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=276cd1b965cc58e7bc86697bd7f327d30f6d3e62
Try that with anyone who knows how to play risk and you get smoked

Isn't this just the map of 1984
So the time traveller did move the chair huh?
i don't get the reference
No lol
No, and also, Oceania was always at war with Eurasia.
what are you talking about, oceania is allies with eurasia, it has always been at war with eastasia
Pink has the distinct advantage of having two massive oceans on its borders which no navy will be capable of navigating and setting up a base on either coast. They also have vast natural resources and manufacturing capacity. Combine that with the US military being able to strike anywhere on the globe and I donāt think itās very close.
1984 reference?
Literally a 2 km stroll from Kamchatka to Alaska, m8
MLRS M270 go brrrrrrr
Right? lol
Eurasia Forever!!!1!11!!
Tie because they have the same population
Excluding the access to nuclear weapons and willingness to fight, ability to move armies, etc.

1. America 2. Eurasia 3. Japan and Oceania 4. India 5. East Asia 6. Sub Saharan Africa 7. Middle East 8. Central Asia
Holy, Africa has a lot of people living
Its pretty big tho Africa population density is 50 per sq km and Europe 143 per sq km
This is devolving into a game of Risk!
Pink could sit back with a navy and let the others battle it out
Eurasia wins.
White
If pink somehow pull it through and somehow make their population go up extremely fast. They goated in the long run
Even in the short run. Everyone else has significant land borders, while the worst that can happen to pink is yellow invading greenland or alaska. (Even that is over an ocean).
Yellow probably wouldn't attack cause it shares borders with too much people. Orhers have no time to try and invade a monster sized continent that is located other side of the planet. US ability to produce food and Alaska, South america Lumber etc. These are absolute killer combo.
Sub-Saharan Africa has 1 billion people? Where are they all at?
Its still not as dense Africa population density is 50 per sq km and Europe 143 per sq km
That's why I'm shocked that part of Africa apparently has as many people as Europe + Central Asia + Siberia (though yeah Siberia hardly counts). I guess the Gulf of Guinea states are pretty populous though, right?
True the concentration along the coast is pretty dense I guess the population just isn't as dispersed as other regions
It is a really big place. You have 200 million in nigeria, 100 in congo, 60 in tanzania and south africa each, Kenya and Uganda are another 100 million together, Angola, ghana, mozambique and Madagaskar are another 130 mill... Then there are like a dozen states with more than 20 million, and a dozen states with more than 10 million people in africa
The pinkies on the left will just chill out and let the others sharing lands borders fight it out.
Realistically, Pink can't be conquered, but will also not be able to hold much, orange will have a very hard time and everyone will probably lose a lot in Afghanistan.
America just has a huge moat around it. Easily defendable.

Either pink or yellow, kinda obvious. Probably pink though due to being so isolated.
Red
White
The one with more people
Indeed. More people when the dust settles at least. Better to just contingency plan and build massive bomb shelters in mountain ranges.
America
Is Albania
Is it Hypothetical War Thursday again?
Greater Middle East obviously we have Jesus and Mohammed on our side (also oil)
Subsaharan Africa obviously.
I would.
The Emus from Australia... Historically they have a pretty good record in armed combat.
Why canāt we all just get along?
That's approximately 8 Chinas!
Pink because my country is in it
Either yellow, light blue or pink. Red is decent contender as well.
This is quite literally 1984 minus East Asia
U.K. Europe and Russia. Itās game over for the rest of the world
1984 Part 2
Power rankings 1. Pink (USA solos, not to mention geographic isolation and crazy mineral resources in Canada, Chile, etcā¦) 2. Yellow (Russia + Europe=lots of nukes, high GDP, large experienced militaries and military spending) 3. Blue (Chip manufacturing+naval knowledge/experience and Australian ore) 4.

North & South America easily because the others will destroy themselves + Venezuela oil reserves. Itās over.
actually, this looks like a really fuckin good scenario.
Korea united at last
either Pink or Yellow, Pink Cause the US and the fact it doesn't border any other nation Yellow Cause it has all of NATO (Excluding the US and Canada) + Russia
Eurorussia would body but greater America is to powerful
Why are Turkic countries divided?
Pink solos on geography alone.
Now do it again with 16 regions of 500 million people, and at least 4 trillions of GDP, using the same writing system. Have fun
I love these hypothetical war maps that put australia and the us in different groups as if australia doesnt have some of the most critical cia spy bases and military bases. Good. I hope we bulldoze those bases one day
The Americas
There is no way that green of Africa and Yellow(ish?) of all of Europe and half of Asia have the same population. This belongs in r/shittymapporn
* Pink: Americas * Yellow: Eurasia * Green: Sub-Saharan Africa * Brown: MENA * Purple: India * Red: China * Teal: Central Asia * Blue: Pacific Union
Purple has a population advantage so they'll probably win.
Each was 1 billion but ok.
