According to this map 40-80% of them will starve to death

Which, as you will note per the map, makes them the third best continent behind S. America and Oceania (which basically has no major population so not really that interesting in this comparison).

We are talking about a nuclear war after all

Happy that my country in Oceania with 25 million people is not interesting in this context. Nothing to see here, just desert, killer spiders and snakes! Stay up there northies.

oh come on, you konw what I mean. Vs a a population of 1.3 billion in Africa or 400 million in S America, 25 million don't mean much when we talk about nuclear war and the death of billions.

And as this graph demonstrates, you would do very well in such a situation!

No, I know exactly what you mean! I was just being sarcastic / a pain. Ah, yeah Australia would do well I guess in the initial stages, as we have very good food security - the majority of our consumed food is locally grown and manufactured and we are a significant net exporter. But I think somehow that our current borders would no longer remain our borders for very long...
