NATO

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was an intergovernmental military alliance between 16 countries (as of it's dissolution and fall during the Nuclear War of 1993). NATO constituted a system of collective defense whereby it's independent member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. The organization was formed by 12 counties on April 4, 1949.

Fall of NATO
During the Nuclear War of 1993, NATO tried to coordinate a contingency plan to lessen the effects of the global nuclear strikes. However, in the panic, little could be done to help humanity, and instead each individual governing body belonging to the organization decided that the best course of action was to use public television to warn civilians; and to quickly corral them into public fallout shelters (many of which failed to function due to poor planning).

As most of the world was razed by firestorms and radiation, communication was lost between the countries allied by NATO, and the organization fell into disarray.
