In 10 days time the world is going to war
1- everyone knows its coming
2 - only a single country will be left standing
3 - only way to win is if every other person outside your country is dead
4 - any method to kill can be used and any person can go anywhere
5- countries can op-operate but there can only be one winner
6 - for arguments sake when a countries population gets down to 5% the rest of the population automatically die - this is to avoid those situations where a group of people go underground for 70 years
7 - for arguments sake, 'the system' knows which country you represent at all times and where you are. So if rule 6 comes in to play, you drop dead.
8 - at the start each person starts from the country they want to represent. But there must be a valid reason - i.e. you already live there, are a citizens etc
Questions
a - who wins / is this even possible?
b - how long does it take for a winner to emerge?
c - how much damage would be done to the earths natural surface?

Have you seen the film Equlibrium? Here is a quote from Father (Du Pont)
"In the first years of the 21st century, a third World War broke out. Those of us who survived knew mankind could never survive a fourth; that our own volatile natures could simply no longer be risked. So we have created a new arm of the law: The Grammaton Cleric, whose sole task it is to seek out and eradicate the true source of man's inhumanity to man - his ability to feel".

Any UK city is a target.
Maybe but given the choice they would drop one on London, so I will be toast.Skyedriver said:
Ten days time you say. Hmm, won't bother getting the lawn mower out then.
Could it not be sorted by a method like say "Strictly" where the war is won by some sort of phone in voting and a dance off?
Did you ever watch Blake's 7. In the episode Death-Watch the planets Teal and Vandor are locked in an endless war whose battles are decided periodically by representatives from both worlds fighting to the death in one-on-one combat.

I've often wondered if it did kick off and a load of nuclear missiles were headed our way, would we get a heads up about it, or would it just happen, realistically what use would an official warning be in it would only cause mass panic?
