[Pacific Rim]What did the rest of the world look like?

We were never told what other parts of the world look like. I'm assuming that resources were scarce because of the Kaiju, but what did things look like in parts of the world not touching the Pacific Ocean?

Global economy would have taken a huge hit.

Top 15 GDP countries in 2014 - bold are on the Pacific Rim

**1 United States**

**2 China**

**3 Japan**

4 Germany 

5 United Kingdom

6 France 

7 Brazil  

8 Italy 

9 India 

**10 Russian Federation**

**11 Canada**

**12 Australia**

**13 South Korea**

14 Spain 

**15 Mexico**

Further more, the US would (among others) would have been very vulnerable. A Kaiju hits the Bay Area? - Then Apple, Google, Intel, NASA, the US Navy are all hit pretty hard as is one of the largest cargo ports in the US.

Kaiju bleeds out off Alaska...then major fisheries are hit, not just for the US, but for Canada, Japan, Russia and China. A fishery stops producing and food prices spike and then people go without protein in their diet.

Shipping gets much more expensive...factories close, people are laid off...not just in that country or region...but globally.

The 1995 Kobe Earthquake cost $100 billion just to replace the structures...what would the cost be of a Kaiju hitting any major city now? $250...500...700 billion?
