I've been reading UC Gundam manga spinoffs recently and it got me thinking. Were there any spinoffs that focus on civilian population, social problems and other not "giant robots fight giant robots" stuff?
Since OYW is regarded as a greatest tragedy during which 1/2 of population perished (several billions!) there should be a lot of interesting stories to tell about how people cope with it and what government does to ease a blow on population, economy, industry and so on.
Though, I think, it is hard to sell plastic toys with such stories.

'War in the Pocket' is probably the closest.
Most spinoffs focus on the mecha, and main civilians where they interact therein

With half the population gone (and industrial centers along with it), post OYW would be nothing like what is depicted in the anime.

The second part of the Thunderbolt manga, and in special his side story: Sean The Sand Rat, kind of cover the matter. In the sand rat story some characters comment how, because of the radical decrease in the male population because the war, polygamy became common again. Some Federation military stragglers became local warlords or just marauders. And there is the whole deal of the South Seas Alliance getting stronger and more independent because the Federation was left weaker by the war, and many people desperately clinging into a fanatical religion of salvation in the chaotic post war scenario.

This.
0080 somehow did the civilian point of view and still managed to have at least two kickass designs and some memorable characters to boot. The fact that it was made by proto-GAINAX makes me believe that had they been given time, Chris probably would have been lewded and I'm not okay with that.
