What was your nation's worst disaster?

Postby Haydn » Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:45 pm

What was your nation's worst disaster? Mine would be the sinking of the HOL (Haydanian Ocean Liner) Luxury, where the bow part of the hull frozen and a hole appeared in the front part of the hull. Water began pouring in the ship, and the stern risen out of the water. (it basically sank like the Titanic but didn't break in half) There was in total 5,932 passengers onboard and only 67 survived.

Date of disaster: 30th January 1921
Location of disaster: Bering Sea
Number of survivors: 67

Jormengandrian soldiers accidentally engaged allied forces, resulting in an estimated 10 thousand Jormengandrians killed before the mistake was realised.

The worst disaster of the Kingdom of Sharksus, would be The Great Sharksus Civil War, which pitted monarch loyalists against communist radicals. The conflict sparked after the assassination of King Silus Sharkium II by the communists, that started a 5 year brutal battle, that would leave the old nation of approximately 100 million to a staggering 2 million people. The monarchist loyalists won the war, but it was at a great cost, and no one in Sharksus wishes to go back to that type of society.

Date of Disaster: October 1935
Location of Disaster: The Kingdom of Sharksus
Death Toll: 98 million

November 26, 1706.
The worst incident, started by our curiosity and lust, occurred. We experimented whether or not we could have children with demons, resulting in the Purge Riots of 1708. Millions of humans, demons, and half-breeds were killed over three years.

Our allies sent a missile strike at us, which caused most of those deaths. At least 10 nations were engaged it the conflict, so having an extra enemy wouldn't make too much difference.

Hmm.
Id have to say that for my Wonderful (Nonetheless with flaws) Nation, the worst disaster has to have been when a stupid, yet brave, un-loyal citizen decided to Car Bomb the Capital. HIs explosion on wheels killed more people than the Great War of 1957. 14,000 were reported dead just 1 hour and 30 minutes after the explosion. 3,000 more within the next hour. Only 195 surivivors recorded, but with extreme injuries. To this day, The Parliament is now a fortified bubble hovering about 20 feet off the ground. Any traffic in or out of the House is not permitted, and suspects will be shot on sight. How such a tragic event could benefit the Nation so much. Who knows? :eyebrow:

The Cataclysm. A poorly-understood mega-disaster that destroyed the entire civilisation of the ancient inhabitants (and precursors to our own nation) in ME 8752 (13739 years ago). The Atmorans simply ceased to exist in seemingly an instant, and no-one knows why or what the disaster actually was.

Postby Democratic Koyro » Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:58 pm

The Great Faminie of Koyro (1935-1942) In which it estimated between 22- 60 million died. It was caused by Emperor Shakinhara who issued an Imperial Decree that every agricultural center with a single communist should have its entire output destroyed (he developed the idea that the communist ideology was being spread like a posion through food produced by communists), because having even a single member or suspected Member of the Koy People's Socialist Revolutionary Party warranted the destruction of an entire agricultural yield this led to massive burning of agricultural products. Which resulted in the amount of agricultural products produced in Koyro from being the 4th strongest export to unable to feed its population. The Great Faminie was one of the strongest factors that led to the Socialist Revolutionary War.

Typhoon Pedring (International Name: Nesat) was the most destructive tropical storm to hit Kamaynilaan, damaging 333 million Universal Standard Dollars' worth of property and leaving a butcher's bill of 83 dead and 73 injured--a far cry from the antebellum Pepeng (Parma), which damaged USD 608 million worth of properties and killed 465 people.

Tsunami of 1804

The Tsunami of 1904, often just called the Tsunami was caused by a 7.1 Richter Scale earthquake south-east of Syleru's main islands caused a huge wave that came and devastated the south-east islands, eating up a majority of the urban development going on there.

The wave caused about $194 000 000 USD in damage and killed about eighteen thousand people because there was simply no where to go other than swimming, many survived due to the large pieces of building floating around, and the largest group came intact on a relatively large boat which was reported to of held 127 survivors with rations and minimal damage to the boat.

The wave also claimed an additional twenty-eight thousand people with minor or major wounds and only around seventeen thousand escaped relatively unscathed from the disaster.

A super-centenarian named Agathes Nuve remarked that the wave made you panic, but also gave you a healthy dose of endomorphines which she remarked was similar to a rollercoaster ride with it's many bumps and crashes.

Overall the wave gave way to new technologies to block waves such as glass domes near the coasts of the islands and less development on coasts, people are also investing in underground houses in case a similar catastrophe may occur.

Many Syleruians are positive that a disaster this big will never plague our nation again, especially since Syleru is way more highly-developed and prepared for these occurrences.
