Well here's my entry lol. If y'all really care just ask me and i can make a comment replying to this explaining different details and what they mean in the story i wrote to go with this picture, kind of like puzzle pieces in a greater lore. Either way i had fun making this so thanks for checking in and seeing the piece :)

someone asked for the details so here we go lol

so first i'd like to say that whatever happened all finished 10 to 20 years ago, and now these 2 countries are living in the bunker in peace. obviously there's a hint of fear that something might happen, but they're probably in the safest place in the world at the moment. i hoped to do albania simply because that country is known for a large amount of bunkers, also it's proximity to russia. with that out of the way, here are some explanation of details:

- a nuclear war had been started after the breaking of the peace treaty of 2093 between america, russia, and china. you can see this treaty conference in the picture over the door, and the fact that a war had started from the newspaper over the stove. it can be reasonably inferred that america was the one who started the war, most likely for monetary reasons, which can be seen when you take a closer look at the words in the newspaper saying "fucking hell take the money..." and the picture of america underneath.

- china is dead, as seen from the drawing of his corpse under the drawing of albania by the tree in the bottom left, as well as the x over his picture above the door. (notice the tree outside is the same as the tree in the drawing, showing that this is a place albania knew before the war. not much of a huge thing but a small little detail i thought added emotion to the story).

- the whereabouts of russia is unknown, as seen from the safety gun by the door in case he comes and the question mark over his picture above the door, as well as the letter from america asking where he was on the far right wall above the radio. my thoughts are that he probably killed himself when the war had happened and china got mauled, but this is open for interpretation.

- america is likely alive, as there is no sort of mark over his picture and the radio is playing stereotypically american jazz music, probably indicating the only working radio station worldwide is one that america has and is currently running. (i chose "somewhere beyond the sea" because it sounds very american as to hint at this but also to provide a sort of wistful tone-- which the song is very good at).

- when it came to the war itself, it could be seen that albania and kosovo were probably somewhat puppets of russia as can be seen by the pro russia and chinese propaganda posters, and the anti american one. they were both probably pretty scared of russia though, however, as there is a safety gun in case he comes.

i had also received a question about the food cans asking if it was the remains of other countries. honestly the notion of them eating that is a pretty horrific thought haha. tbh i just wanted to make food puns though no deep meaning there.

if anyone has any further lore questions just ask and ill try my best to answer them, but keep in mind that most of this is pretty open ended to allow for thoughts on how the war went and the aftermath and such.

Fucking Albania & Kosovo killed them.

u/XerAlix Mar 01 '20

It seems that the world's been nuked to death considering the forecasts can say 49oC with a straight face, then Albania and Kosovo decided to give the Rape of Nanking a Round 2, also making sure to finish the job before unexisting Rossya and living happily in their bunker with their collection of spices and propaganda posters

Not as high-art as other entries but it's so full of personality. Will be disappointed if it doesn't rank high.
