Transnistria declared independence in 1983, several days after they had received word that a nuclear war had just occurred between the Soviet Union and the United States. The interim government declared martial law in preparation for the hordes of refugees they thought would come, but to their surprise few managed to reach the fledgling nation. The region only became truly stable in 1999, when martial law was lifted and the radiation decrease reduce the amount of radiation sickness in the populace.

  • Transnistria declared independence in 1983, several days after they had received word that a nuclear war had just occurred between the Soviet Union and the United States. The interim government declared martial law in preparation for the hordes of refugees they thought would come, but to their surprise few managed to reach the fledgling nation. File:Nuclear Explosion.png The capital Tiraspol was hit by a relatively small nuclear strike, but the fallout from nearby strikes, like Chisinau and Odessa, hurt the nation strongly as well. Immediately after the strikes occurred, many of the survivors got sick and the few hospitals remaining did not have the staff or supplies to treat the majority of them. Only martial law held what was left of the area together. The region only became truly stable in 1999, when martial law was lifted and the radiation decrease reduce the amount of radiation sickness in the populace.
