The dead would've probably been better off than the survivors. Total worldwide economic meltdown, fallout from the nuclear explosions, diseases, famine, social collapse and worldwide anarchy. Not to mention all kinds of wars the surviving nations that didn't get hit get into when they try to secure mineral deposits.
