All of the strategic stuff is heavily shielded against electromagnetic pulses produced by upper atmosphere bursts.....you, on the other hand would lose CNN so you wouldn't know that it was the end of the world....

ok, great, we don't lose strategic 'stuff'... we just lose everything else electrical... we need biological cars, planes, ships, computers, etc, like the first ones on B5 (still the greatest SF TV show ever, imo)

If I were a gambler I would go for USA. Not that I have any clue about the issue but I think USA gets the best odds by the bookmakers.
