Moscow has renewed Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threats against the West, raising fears that the Ukraine conflict could spiral into a nuclear war. In a post on Telegram, Dmitry Medvedev, a key ally of the Russian president, boasted that the West would not intervene even if Russia used a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, because the “demagogues across the ocean and in Europe are not going to die in a nuclear apocalypse”, noted The Atlantic. Military experts are warning that Putin may detonate a nuclear weapon over a remote and unpopulated area or a body of water, like the Black Sea, as a “chilling demonstration of intent”, said Reuters. But the fact that Putin has insisted he is not bluffing over his nuclear warnings only reiterates that he’s “bluffed repeatedly”, said The Sydney Morning Herald, about the nuclear threat since the invasion began. Nevertheless, the Doomsday Clock, which measures the current nuclear threat against mankind, is at 100 seconds to midnight, or “doom’s doorstep”, as the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists puts it. So here are the safest countries and places to be in the event of a global nuclear conflict.

Safest countries

A study last month found that the countries with the best hope of at least seeing their civilisation survive during the ten years after a nuclear war would be Argentina and Australia. The reason they, and several countries across central Africa, would be able to maintain life was because “they already grew more resistant crops, such as wheat, in large quantities and also had low populations”, said The Times. However, “it wouldn’t be necessarily peaches and cream” for Australia, said Professor Alan Robock, from Rutgers University in New Jersey, because “you can imagine there will be flotillas of hungry refugees from Asia on their way there”. So perhaps you could consider Iceland? The Smart Survivalist named the Nordic country as the safest place in the event of a nuclear war. “Because Iceland is isolated from the rest of the world by the North Atlantic Ocean, it would be very difficult for a nuclear missile to reach Iceland without being detected first,” it said.

How do you repopulate a village without villagers?

Once all villagers are dead a village will no longer repopulate. You can revive villagers using mods but thats it. If you revive a villager you will need to revive 2 in order to repopulate. That raised a thought: You can cure a zombie villager, so if you cure one in a village, will they "move back in"?

As has already pointed, as with real life, you need at least two people to repopulate the earth (or in this case, a village) from scratch.

Keep in mind, there are also a few more restrictions.

First, the village needs to have enough houses for the villagers to live in. What the game does behind the scenes is count "doors" rather than buildings, and a good rule of thumb for every three doors, one villager can exist. So if you want a village to host 10 villagers, you will need to have roughly 30 "valid" doors close enough to be inside the village boundries. This means if any doors were destroyed by zombie sieges, you are going to need to go around and put some doors back up until there are enough homes to go around. Second, newer changes to villager breeding mechanics have "limited" to villages only deciding to breed if (1) a player trades with them, or (2) a player "feeds" them by throwing food at them and having them pick it up. Villagers then have a random chance whether to decide to breed or not for a short while. In order for villages to be "self sufficient" (not requiring the player to come and maintain the village in order for it to grow) the developers implemented a system in which #2 will be automatically done by farmer villagers (the ones with the brown coats); their AI will harvest crops, and then give the resulting food to other villagers, helping them to breed. Note that since Farmers are the only villager that does this, if your village does not contain any, you will manually need to help villagers with their breeding! More technical details can be found on the wiki: MineCraft Wiki: Villager Breeding
