NWO uniforms (aka what Pidge really does in school)

[hellzabeth]

Hm, well.

Gordon Brown's finally out of Number 10, signaling that even he knows a sinking ship when he sees one. With everyone else either diving off the sides into the murky waters below or fighting over who gets to be the captain that goes down with it....

Note to self, stop using naval metaphors...

Soooo yeah! Only productive thing to come out of my classes today were the designs of the NWO uniforms. WDF will be close behind, don't you worry. Cande I hope you don't mind I used your idea of black and gold for the motif.



Arrrrgh I think the only one that came out alright was Russia's. They all looked so much cooler in my head damnit. Besides which I just could not draw facial expressions today so they all look retarded.

Hand hurts. Think I may have frozen my hand into the shape of my pen grip. Ow.

Edit: What the page says (because my hand writing is atrocious) as well as notes on the costumes.
Next to Russia: Commanding Officer (Custom) Mainly looks like this because Russia is badass in a long coat and... to be honest I can't picture him in much else.
Next to N.Ireland: Junior Officer Based on a real school uniform from my area. Think Hitler youth only with the NWO. Nothing like early indoctrination~!
Next to France: Foot soldier (both male and female) Meaning both genders must wear this uniform. It's kind of plain. France hates it.
Next to China: (Arrow pointing at Russia: coat is custom) Usual design. Yes, he still has his commie arm band. Because. He's still commie.
Next to Saudi Arabia: Desert Soldier Obviously there are other uniforms for higher officers that have been tampered with to suit conditions in the heat, but... see how I'm running out of space?
Next to N.Korea: Secretarial officer [female] (trousers optional). Even the NWO has political correctness haha.

They do look cool. :D Simple but still badass design. (And I love it that Ivan still has the long coat.)

... Actually I just wanted to give you a link. Because I couldn't STOP researching those damned nukes and I'm going to share with you, want it or not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Comparative_nuclear_fireball_sizes.svg

If I got it right and if Wiki is correct, that W88-type of bomb is the most modern one and probably the one that would be used IF they were to be used because they are small enough to fit into a missile (up to eight of them per one missile, apparently) and their destructive power is exceptionally high considering their relatively small size. So it's roughly three times as big an explosion as Nagasaki + eight of them scattered around... I'm not sure how high it is that the bombs are released so I can't say how wide the area would be where they would fall. ;;; But yeah, that at least gives an idea of what a modern nuclear attack would be like.

Oh and I guess one point of having several bombs in one is so that if the attack is notices, the defense would have to divide their attention to eight different bombs simultaneously which would lessen the probability that they would all be managed to destroy before they reached the destination. I think?

That huge bomb, Tsar Bomba, is apparently the largest bomb ever exploded. It was a USSR nuclear test. The fireball was... huge, as you can see. Actually some sources said it was more like 8km in diameter. Wikipedia claims that the heat wave was so intense that it could cause third-degree burns even in 100km distance and that the effects reached as far as Sweden where windows were broken because of the blast (the test was done in Novaya Zemlya (shows as red in the map)).

Tsar Bomba was so big that if it had been dropped on Washington DC, the area of total destruction would reach Delaware. If it was dropped on Paris, pretty much the whole region of Île-de-France would be totally destroyed. If it was dropped on London City, the total destruction would reach the Channel. That's the kind of scale we're talking about.

Good news is: that big bombs are so big that they're impossible to use in a war. They just weight too much that they could be easily transported to enemy territory. So no need to worry about that ever happening... =__=;; Thankfully.

Oh, and the funny thing is, the bomb model could have been made twice bigger, with more power, but even USSR of all countries decided that okay, we're not even gonna go there, not even for a test. (Though you have to remember that twice bigger bomb is not the same as twice as big an explosion -- the explosion needs exponentially more power the bigger it grows, kinda like if you have a square and you want to surround it with new squares, you actually need eight more squares instead of just one to do that. But it would have still been even bigger and the fallout WOULD have been doubled even if the explosion wouldn't.)
