No, I meant the country as in the United States. EAS on the national level works by playing telephone: hopping the alert from station to station in a mesh configuration. PEP stations are origins for national alerts.

I wonder why it hasn't been abused/trolled on a large scale, though. Really, if I were interested in trolling that's what I'd do: next to zero chance of the cops catching you as you won't leave a trail, plus the entire country will be wide awake once the sirens ring and it will likely need months or years until the government secures the stuff.
