North East Korea

Hello all,
Recently new to these boards, I am eager to attempt at some form of RP of my own. Looking at the success of many of the survival-type RPs on this board, I'm thinking of trying this idea in a sort of free-form style of storyline.
This is basically inspired by the excellent (and rather disturbing) British Docu-drama "Threads", which follows the lives of a group of people from 6 months prior to five years after a full-scale nuclear attack on the United Kingdom by the Soviet Union. The basic idea is that, and also drawing on current tensions in the world to make this more interesting.
Basically, the premise would be an RP set in Los Angeles, following the lives of a group of people (i.e. your characters) in the time before and after a nuclear attack by North Korea. Except for that basic framework which I would be narrating (RPing myself as the government etc), the rest of the RP would be free-form, allowing people to develop potential characters for other RPs or just simply make someone for this particular story as they attempt to survive and escape the wreck of the city.
Now, I realise there may be two problems here:
1) Being as this is being set on RL possibilities and locations, I am aware that some people may be a little sensitive to this. If so, I would like to know if this would be a problem.
2) The idea and potential problem with this survival RP is that there is no single enemy for everyone to band against - zombies, mutants etcetera. I would like to know whether anyone would think this could cause problems at all regarding the interest of the RP.
Thankyou for your time, and I hope we can get something like this worked out. :)
Regards.
