Night of the Living Alternate History (Map Game)

Welcome to Night of the Living Alternate History, a map game about teamwork, Zombies, warfare, and leading your makeshift country to controlling the remnants of the old world. Please read all rules and guidelines before joining the game.

On October 1, 1968 George A. Romero released the film, Night of the Living Dead. Today it is viewed as the beginning of Zombies on the big screen, but what if that’s not all it inspired? In this map game we explore what would happen if a group of scientists decided to recreate some of the effects detailed in this movie...

Even if it means the death of thousands of people.

Please read the Pre-Apocalypse Timeline for information on some nations and events leading up to the start of the game.

If you are new to the game please visit the portal page, where you can find a tutorial and other information.

Map


Here is a copy of the start map with less Zombies on it:

Map creation Rules
A few general rules concerning the map so as to ensure "success:"
 * See the full-size version of the map to avoid pixelation.
 * Make all nations different colors.
 * Try to make one for each half-year.
 * Colored circles on nations mean they are a protectorate, client/satellite state, etc. of another nation.
 * It's not always beneficial to draw border lines willy-nilly; if possible, try to find resources displaying previously existing borders.

Changelog and Map Discussion
The changelog and discussion of the map is on the talk page.

Nations
If you have a creative idea for your nation that is not listed here, add it, but make sure you include some sort of back story when you make your first post. Even if an existing nation is not listed here you can still claim it if it is not already claimed. Make sure you read the Pre-Apocalypse Timeline. The United States, (the nation, not the remnants of it) is moderator only as of right now.

The Game
Previous archive: 1977.50 to 1979.75  See archive section.

1980
'The majority of the Brazilian coast is cleared, and the remaining Brazilian population clings to the shore. Much of the Brazilian Amazon is abandoned.'

'A small protest occurs in Buenos Aires over the concentration camps revealed almost a year earlier. '

'A suspected United Republic is assassinated in a large Communist training camp. The find heightens security, causing the death of another twelve individuals after reasonable suspicion. '

'The nation of Deseret begins a massive military training program, drafting hundreds of individuals into a national army. After the last few years dedicated to building a formidable force and clearing northern Utah, the army score of Deseret upgrades to 1.25. '

After years of being at war, China’s stability drops to 40.

'Despite the backlash from the Islamic world, the Turkish government orders its military to stay firm. Hundreds of soldiers are executed, and thousands more are disciplined to stay loyal to the Turkish. In major cities the government soldiers barricade themselves in, trapping the rebels into the countryside. Propaganda is used to display the EHU as savages who have corrupted the holy cities, and the Soviets as monstrous invaders. '

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. The Self Defence Forces continue to burn down infected areas in Kyūshū, and continue pushing the Zombies out of the island. Part of the Maritime Self Defence Force continues to fight against the outbreak and attempts to prevent it from spreading across into Shikoku, while the Air Self Defence Force bombs the infected areas within Kyūshū. Some of the Ground Self Defence Forces at Ishikawa Prefecture continue burning down infected areas and pushing the Zombies out; the Scorched Earth tactic is also used. Any people that show any sign of infection are still to be destroyed immediately. The Zen Taoist Temple continues construction in Sapporo. Synthpop continues to rise in popularity.

Alaska: Naval Development reches 1.5

Commonwealth: The massive project in Canberra is finished. Workers flooded in to find that this is an advanced research center for the UCO. That friday, the Commonwealth Government officially unveils the purpose of the project, stating that it is indeed a research center for the UCO. It is also announced that another project for testing the zombie virus on animals, a large glass dome with several levels of decontamination between the research center and the dome will be started within 2 years. Sends thousands of militants to assist our turkish allies. Continues development. (Additional note, i'd like to upgrade everything in sucession to eachother whenenver possible, as i feel i have fallen behind due to this system)

Yemeni Rebels: With half of the country, a majority of the regions, population, and capital city under its control finally, As'ad Nejem takes advantage of the broadcasting equipment found in the new regions to broadcast his message across the rest of government Yemen. In his message, he calls for the peaceful surrender of the government forces, with full amnesty on the condition they all swear oath to his new government. The main reason he does this is so as to not use what precious resources he has left from Operation Allah's Freedom.
 * United Republics Diplomacy: An anonymously sent satellite picture of non-rebel land is sent to the Yemani rebels by a UR official, showing where the remaining government stronghold.



Colombia: the Army of Santander leads a campaign in the amazons expanding to some extent the Republic in the now barely populated regions, and the bases, sized of new york city, become the point to contact the brazilians, expansion in Northern Peru and Nicaragua, continue, and military is built up.
 * United Republics Diplomacy: Would like to conduct a summit with Colombia to discuss the future of South America, creating an economic and research union, and discuss other plans

Tibet: Seeing that the revolution is making no progress, Tibet will either become a theocracy or a military dictatorship and that Tibetan deaths are way higher than Chinese deaths, the Tibetan people wrote a declaration, signed by more than 100 village heads and mayors, for integration into China. After the Tibetan surrender, Kalsang surrendered to China, followed by the Dalai Lama, forced by his advisors.

This turn is slightly implausible and gives me reason to suspect you're being sockpuppeted by China.

Confederate Islands: The Governatore of the Confederate Islands works really hard to expand their economies and then also invites Sicily, Malta, and the Balaeric Islands to join the Confederacy.(MODS please?)

Florida: Work on phylaxocortin continues. It is almost ready for use on humans. We begin building another full-size aircraft carrier, the FSS Kestrel (identical to the OTL Nimitz-class). After a long hiatus from space launches (Arkangel was launched last turn), we launch an Apollo capsule with an all-military crew to test the feasability of dropping special forces troops into combat zones from orbit using a miniaturized reentry capsule known as an SOEIV capsule. They drop one capsule with a dummy in it, and it is a success. Work on Star Wars is almost finished. In the meantime, Universal begins running a new sci-fi TV show, Battlestar Galactica, which proves to be a cult favorite. '''We also begin offering massive tax breaks and funding to high-tech companies that move their headquarters to Florida. The government is also offering to pay for the move. We are specifically targeting companies such as Microsoft (RNG please).'''

Cuba:forces continue hatien force we damanend complete hatien surrender. (RNG 1-5 :no 6-10: yes.  7 Yes)

'''You need an algorithm (several probably) for the invasion. You then need to occupy and successful fight the Haitans. All RNG's need to be done by a moderator, usually in a mod event. '''

United Republics: The forces in Libson begin to wall the city to protect from infection. UR forces are working to help establish the Libson government. A plan is sent to the leaders of RdJ and Sao Paolo to enter the UR is 3 years as they have been reinudstrialized and commercialized by UR workers and militiants. They would enter as the Republic de Sao Paulo et Rio de Janeiro. Population in these cities support the measure due to the aid and reinvigeration of the society. To address the concern about concentration camps the UR and Argentina both give further evidence that the camps were just interogation and some soldiers who used questionable techiniques against the UR forces field guide, and the soldiers were reassigned to other duties in Antartica and on islands. The UR continues to develop solar pannels and installs them all over the mountainous regions and southern regions. All communities except for major cities should be able to power their own local power grids within the next five years. Using information from agents that the communist militants are very unstable. The UR is able to further infitrate the communist militants by replacing all the killed members with their own special agents. This brings UR infiltration to 15-20% of all soldiers and leaders. Paraguay's economy is on the rise as they stablize their connections with the rest of the UR. The UR forces secretly begin build-up and plan to invaide southern Bolivia and Peru.
