When today people talk about Yemen, the news almost always feature the same words: war, hunger, destruction, attacks on ships, bombings. But if you look closer and dig a little deeper, it becomes clear: war is just the tip of the iceberg. Yemen has long lived not just outside the 21st century, but somewhere in a parallel reality, where the state as such does not exist, and in its place are tribes, religious leaders, and armed groups.

This article examines the hypothetical scenario of a full-scale nuclear war and assesses the potential of various countries to survive under conditions of global catastrophe. Based on analysis of scientific research and expert assessments, the key factors determining a nation's and its population's ability to endure a nuclear conflict and subsequent nuclear winter are reconstructed. Particular attention is devoted to researchers' conclusions that only a limited number of countries, primarily located in the Southern Hemisphere, possess the necessary conditions for maintaining agricultural production and social stability in the post-apocalyptic period.
