Since only the Romulus system was destroyed, presumably there were plenty of other planets in the empire inhabited with Romulans and with plenty of ships to defend themselves with. So the next big player could be… the Romulans.
I’ve been thinking about this- despite Ni’var being re-unified, there might still be a Romulan empire of some sort made up of the remaining planets the Romulans controlled.
Also, I assume the Romulans didn’t bother evacuating the Remans, so they’re probably mostly extinct.
Thankfully, that is the one thing Israel is really unlikely to do considering the wind could either blow the radiation on them or blow it on their neighbors and start a much bigger war because of it.

It literally says that in the article. Just, apparently, further down than you read:
MODAFINIL WAS DISCOVERED in the 1970s by French scientists and was first handed out to pilots to help keep them awake and on task in the 1991 Gulf War. The U.S. military started to use modafinil in earnest around the 2003 invasion of Iraq. At the time, it was heralded as a massive improvement over previous stimulants: stronger and more effective than caffeine, less physically addictive than amphetamines. “These medications aren’t stimulants like the old military ‘go pills,’ there are few if any side effects when taken as prescribed. They simply stave off drowsiness until the medication wears off, then you naturally fall asleep,” one knowledgeable source writes.
But that “taken as prescribed” caveat is crucial. When handed out willy-nilly, outside a doctor’s supervision, modafinil can pose serious risks, notes Dr. Rachel Teodorini, a researcher at London South Bank University’s division of psychology who has examined the drug and its effects. “If people have cardiovascular problems, heart problems, or blood pressure issues, it could cause things like strokes or heart attacks,” she tells us. And while modafinil doesn’t appear to physically hook patients, “there’s an element of at least psychological dependence. Tolerance builds up, and you need more and more.”
I think it is astounding too. On the other hand, imagine how much history will be lost if we had another Carrington Event. There are ways to preserve huge amounts digital media that would survive such a thing, but I don’t think there’s been any serious attempts to preserve important stuff that’s only on the internet.
