If 800 Nuclear bombs are dropped in a country, could that country be economically stable?

Question

If not, how bad would that country be economically if it just took a blast of 800 powerful nuclear bombs in every city?

Answer 1

It would be in about the same condition as if 800 of its cities were destroyed by flood, or tornado, or anything else.

Losing 800 cities -- an average of 16 per state in the US -- would also wipe out about 70% of the population.

So, yes, that country would be economically stable. Dead, but stable.

Answer 2

It really only takes one to screw up a country.

Take the only nuclear bomb attacks in history, for example- Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The cities were literally decimated. Without proper nutrition, healthcare, transportation, and governmental support (keep in mind that the Japanese economy worked itself into oblivion financing the war effort), these areas could not recover. It wasn't about ten years later that the two cities started to recover again.

Keep in mind that just two bombs killed hundreds of thousands afterward due to radiation. I think as you threw out that number of 800, you were thinking of smaller bombs, not nuclear ones. Nuclear bombs like the atomic and hydrogen bomb screw up the ecosystem. If 800 bombs were dropped anywhere, there would be no life, let alone an economy.

Answer 3

I've got news for you....800 powerful nuclear bombs dropped anywhere means all life on Earth is pretty much over.

Answer 4

Only if the chief export is mutated DNA and scorched highly radioactive desert glass.

800 nuclear explosions would pretty much be the endgame for every countries economy.

I think it was Mr. Einstien himself who said "I do not know what WWW 3 will be fought with, but WWW 4 will be fought with sticks and stones"?

I think that would be a pretty accurate analogy.

Answer 5

Fate would happen if that many were set off even spread out over mater of a few days. Humanity as we know it and loath it would end. The world would be plunged into a Nuclear Winter.

Answer 6

Nuclear winter which means the sun gets blocked out by the all the **** that gets kicked up. back to what 3rd grade science. Without the sun no photosynthesis and without that plants dont grow which means we go hungry.

Answer 7

it would be economically stable in that there would be a surplus of products to population size. by that i mean 8 cans of green beans to zero people alive. but then again it's not like anybody would be left alive on the planet to perform the study.

Answer 8

There would be no economy left as the entire country would resemble the Grand Canyon times 10,000.

Answer 9

1 nuclear bomb can cripple a country's economics.

Answer 10

Yes....in several thousand years, when the radioactivity returns to normal.
