The Nuclear War Simulator
At 8am this morning France launched a surprise nuclear attack on the United States.
France claimed that it had no alternative but to try and bring about regime change, claiming that US leaders were
'Deranged scumbags who have been killing protestors. Thank you for your attention to this matter!'
The United States responded to this unprovoked nuclear strike by launching its own nuclear weapons on Paris. Israel leapt to the defense of its geopolitical ally by also launching nuclear weapons against Paris. This in turn led to a number of other countries launching conventional strikes on France.
By 11am on Saturday the threshold to World War III had been reached.
God save us all!
Standing on the precipice of Armageddon - as we all are, I thought I’d bring some much-needed fun into your life by kicking the weekend off with a little light entertainment. And what better way to do that than by introducing you to:
DYSTOPIA - the Nuclear Escalation Simulator
The interactive map DYSTOPIA: Nuclear Escalation Simulator attempts to answer the chilling question 'What happens after the first nuclear missile is launched' by modelling how alliances, retaliations, and automated defense systems might rapidly spiral into global catastrophe.
The simulation begins with a simple choice: select a nuclear power and designate a target. From that moment the map takes over, triggering a cascading sequence of military responses based on international alliances and defense agreements. As the simulation unfolds, animated missiles arc across the globe from launch sites to their targets, visualizing how quickly a single strike could ignite a wider conflict.
The map visualization reinforces the sense of accelerating chaos. Missile trajectories crisscross the globe while an event log records impacts, casualties, and expanding zones of radioactive contamination. In the example scenario at the top of this post - of a French attack on the United States - the escalation culminated with an automated “Dead Hand” retaliation protocol and the declaration that the “World War threshold” had been reached - bringing the simulation to an end just six minutes after the first launch.
