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 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.
 * added Yemen, other European City-states that appear to have government in recent mod events

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: 1980 - 1983.25  See archive section.

1983.50
' Although much of central Mexico remains heavily infected, trade routes begin to be draw from the Yucatan west. However, currently there is no good land route from Mexico to Colombia. '

' The remnants of New York are annexed by the United States after negotiations with the state government. '

' The invasion of the Zanzibar natives into Dar es Salaam is successful. After a swift battle in which some of the town’s old guard and isolationist survivors attempted to hold back the raiders, the invaders managed to break inside the inner city. Ravaged by waves of infection and challenging military factions in the past, the city is desperate, and finally surrenders to the forces of the island. '

' After several successful raids in Arizona, including against the city-state of Tucson, the riders of the Apache Republic withdraw from their native lands to Hermosillo, where a non-nomadic lifestyle is taken up. Survivors in southern Arizona band together to refound the Republic of Atzlan, which had been destroyed by Pedro and his Apache thugs. They establish the Atzlan Republican Army to deter Pedro and his Apache bandits from returning to rob them. Most Apaches still living in Atzlan don't agree with Pedro's methods, as he was a heavy handed tyrant. The new Republic is bilingual, as the area was filled with refugees from Mexico as well as neighboring states. '' I don't care if he's still playing. Sending out raiding bands to steal from your neighbors is not civilized behavior. I'm pretty sure everyone in Atzlan is thinking "good riddance" when Pedro left.'''

' Within the research facility of the Cureplex, a Commonwealth research team injects a Zombie with a dose of Phalanx. The Zombie appears to be frenzied, even berzerk. After several days it is determined that the medication had no positive effect on the Zombie, and it is soon determined that this particular Zombie even had what many believe was an allergic reaction. Finally, the Zombie had one last outburst and attempted to rip itself apart. '

' Texans begin settling the western region of Texas. Much of Texas’ pre-apocalypse borders are restored, with the west and north, and parts of New Mexico, established at territorial status. '

' The Siege of Adana enters with EHU and American forces entering the city. The Turkish line is pushed as far back as Konya, meeting the already existing line at Kayseri. '

' EHU and Soviet forces push from Trabzon toward Ankara, hugging the coast for supplies and artillery. Within a few weeks the Soviets had entered Kastamonu, north of Ankara. The main line had surrounded Kayseri. '

' Soviet forces from Romania, after a swift campaign through Bulgaria, enter Thrace and begin cornering the city of Istanbul. '

' The rock group KISS officially appear in public without makeup for the first time on MTV. The Red Hot Chili Peppers launch their first, self-titled, album. '

' Soviet military officer Stanislav Petrov averts a worldwide nuclear war by correctly identifying a missile attack warning as a false alarm. (1983: Doomsday reference.) '

' Philippines opposition leader, Benigno Aquino, Jr., is assassinated in Manila. '

' French officials recognize the sovereignty of the English Channel nations to the north, opening trade with the coast. The area around Paris continues to be cleared. '

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Some of the Maritime Self Defence Force still continues to patrol around Japan. Synthpop and Electro continues to rise in popularity. Some more Zen Taoist Temples continue to be built in Northern Japan. Tatsunori Katsumata continues writing the manga Amsterdam. Clean up and aid goes out for those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. The Republic of Kyushu is established as a vassal of Japan and its capital is Saga. Toshihiko Yokō becomes President of the Republic of Kyushu and begins to rebuild the island.

United Republics: The UR restores funding to URSA in anticipation of a URSA 17 rocket launch, the schematics and plan are finished, and closely resemble the Apollo 11 mission with a set of stages including a lunar landing stage. The most risky part is returning the lunar landing stage into lunar orbit and then return back to earth with the remains of the rocket. A test will be done in Antartida. Meanwhile, UR officials work tirelessly on the new ULN documents. Invite all nations to apply to join the ULN (all will essentially be accepted) [MOD RESPONSES!]. The ULN already has commitments from the UR, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Portugal, Granada, Confederate Islands, USA, UK, and Commonwealth to join. Infrastructure is continued to be expanded, and the the high-speed rail along the Atlantic is nearly complete. UR does contract its economy, slowing down the short term growth in exchange for long term stability. Propaganda is released to back this up. The UR intellengence agency makes contact with Turkish officals and wishes to bring a peaceful end to the Middle Eastern Conflict. Meanwhile, the UR continues to send supplies to Royal France and the UK to defend themselves. UR diplomats continue to create favorable relations with Bolivia and Spain. A meeting with Brazil is requested to discuss a trade agreement and defense '''[MOD RESPONSE]. Spain is once again invited to become an observer of the LAL [MOD RESPONSE]. '''Aid and supplies are sent to the colony in south Baja. The Republic of Baja and the Republic of Belize are asked to apply to the LAL [Mod Response], New Chan Santa Cruz is also invited to apply to the LAL. The colony of OTL Georgetown expands farther south and east. New Stanley also expands to 3,000 permanent residents. A plan is drafter for New Stanley to fall under Falklands juristiction, thus giving it better representaiton within the UR. Central Italy (Kingdom of Italy): Infrastructure is built up and our border is fortified. We invite all nations of the Mediterranean to join the Roman Federation - an EU-style government where you keep as much sovereignty as they have in the EU. The Kingdom of Italy is also looking for allies. (PS: I don't get this map game. Can someone help me? Octivian Marius (talk) 02:16, May 17, 2013 (UTC))
 * Portugal: Infrastructure is built up. Industrialization begins. A military draft is implemented.
 * Granada: Infrastructure is built up. A militia is created.


 * Hello, this Reximus55 (talk), and I play the Confederated Islands. We are a powerful nation that is currently helping you to invade Rome. (We actually started this before you signed up). You are in fact invited to join the Confederated Islands, and it will be renamed to the Mediterranean Confederacy. Please consider joining!

Texas cuts all ties with the ISAF and the United States. It orders all foreign nations to withdraw any remaining troops in the country. The government announces plans to transition into 'self-suffiency'. Meanwhile, Hispanics are flocking to western Texas and New Mexico to escape discrimination. The military pushes an aggressive campaign of expansion, capturing an area ranging from Las Cruces to Roswell. Tanks patrol the streets, ready to blast any Zombie in sight Commonwealth: Research and development and testing on Zombified wildlife with a modified version of Phlaxicortin begins. Continues development and expansion. The scientists doing the work on the zombies are not allowed outside of an ultra-secure perimeter and access to the cureplex is heavily restircted. 1,000 military personell are stationed at the complex at all times. The New Zealand project continues. Dubstep becomes the 3rd most popular music genre in the Commonwealth, and performers begin to appear at bars.
 * United Republics Diplomacy: Asks to meet with a Republic of Texas Diplomat concerning relations as well as the ULN, LAL, and racial discrimination within the country. (OOC: can you get on chat)
 * Texas Diplomacy: We agree to begin discussions. We shall send an ambassador to Santiago.

Confederate Islands: The Governatore continues in his long-term attempts to get Malta, Sicily, the Balaerics, and more small nations to join his Confederation. MOD  We increase our navy. Our attempts in Rome continue, and we are soon able to set up a city of Sardinians to lead the land of Rome. We also join the ULN as Sardinia, Corsica, Crete, and Rome.
 * CI Diplomacy: We request transfer of Granada and Portugal to the CI, which will then be renamed the Confederate Mediterranean, and will act as a protectorate of the UR, and its European branch.
