Geopolitics (Night of the Living Alternate History Map Game)

This page provides an overview of the international politics of the post-apocalypse world resulting from the Human-Zombie War.

Unions
Since the apocalypse a powerful system for creating a successful nation has been through unions. This general trend began shortly after the apocalypse, basing its system off governments such as the United States and the United Kingdom. Unions helped to preserve a country's integrity as a state, and helped to pool resources with nearby nations, creating powerful superpowers and states across the globe.

One of the first nations to create a multi-national union was the United Republics. Created by the nation of Argentina following a union with Chile, the union would eventually grow to encompass much of South America, and the world. The United Republics' system of government would later be duplicated by several other states, becoming the framework for other powerful unions. Other examples include the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand, which was formed almost immediately after the apocalypse.

Examples of multi-national unions, in order of foundation:
 * Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand
 * United Republics
 * United Kingdoms of Great Britain (United Heptarchy)

 * The German Bloc is a large European Bloc led by the nation of Germany. The German Bloc consists of the nations of the Central Alliance, Eastern Bloc, and several nations of NATO, who together with the Celtiberian Community formed the European Union to regulate European related matters.
