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.

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: 1975 to 1977.25  See archive section.

1977.50
'The Anti-piracy efforts in the English Channel are relatively successfully and less raids are reported near the English coast. Pirates continue to seek shelter in France and Amsterdam'

'Violence in Amsterdam increases, with the government crackdown descending into a bloody firefight near the docks. '

'The Yemeni government continues its campaign to eradicate the rebels. Several are killed in a bombing in Ta’Izz'

'After the ambush near Lae, the Australians begin a larger push along the eastern coast of New Guinea. '

'A large Polish rebellion occurs in the west. Several thousand soldiers are sighted in a guerrilla campaign to dislodge the Soviet supply lines.'

'Chinese forces are defeated by the Tibetan-Democratic Chinese. After a large battle, in which the Tibetans suffer heavy casualties trying to hold their ground, the Chinese are forced to retreat.  Chinese stability decreases to 42.'

'Survivors create a thriving city-state in the abandoned Leavenworth Penitentiary. The new Leavenworth Republic has become self-sufficient by converting the exercise yard into a farm, and is defended with riot gear from the prison armory and weapons salvaged from the National Guard armory in Kansas City.'

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 continues 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. In Okinawa, Anti-American sentiment continues to grow. The Zen Taoist Temple continues construction in Sapporo. A new musical genre, called Synthpop, is created in Yamagata Prefecture.

USSR: In response to the rebellion in Poland and the military action taken against Soviet forces by rebel leaders: '''we offer the rebel leaders a choice: A) Cease all aggression with Soviet forces and interests. If the people of the rebel cause choose to end fighting then all Soviet forces will withdraw from the borders of Poland. Additionally, if a stable government is formed in one years time, a government which furthermore chooses the USSR as a close ally and protects the rights of its citizens justly, then the USSR will respect their sovereignty and respect them as a regional ally. An ally complete with a Non-Aggression and open trade treaty. B) Continue fighting. If even a single rebel soldier acts aggressively against Soviet forces we will respond with the utmost ferocity. It is within our power to burn Poland to the ground and we will not hesitate to do so. Choose wisely...''' The 111th Motor Rifle has been redeployed to a temporary base, located outside Bialystok at the intersection of Highway 65 and 686, as a peacekeeping measure between the polish government and rebellion in the region. The eradication efforts in Crimea are greatly successful with only the loss of ~800 soldiers, 125 of them due to a friendly fire incident involving a strategic air strike and 200 more due to an outbreak of infection in a Motor Rifle unit. A Cruiser from the battle group Minsk, the Admiral Isakov, has been stationed to the Strait of Kerch in order to form a line of quarantine. Along the western Anti-Zed front our commanders joyously report that the area within Soviet borders in this region are now 99% safe from infection. The millions of civilians living within this once dangerous region are thankful that they may now return safely to work in Industrial and Commercial complexes. Due to this resurgence of cheap labor our Industrial score rises by 0.5 to two. The First Engineers Corp have established outside the Ruins of Minsk a refugee camp named “Camp Hope” for anyone who lost their homes in the Minsk Suburban area during the eradication campaign. An accurate count has to be taken, however estimates reach well into the tens of thousands. Humanitarian and food goods for this camp shall be trucked in from Moscow and neighboring cities to supply food, water, medicine ETC.
 * I don't think your words will do much other than make more Poles see you as the enemy. It's like trying to fight fire with gasoline. All it'll do is make the flames of rebellion spread farther.

Bohemia:

Free Alaska: Development continues, industry reaches 2.0

Texas enlists two thousand more men and women into their military. Army technology is increased by 0.5. However, to accommodate them, the Government raises taxes. An announcement comes from Congress, the first one since President Smith's death. It stated that the Constitution of Texas will be suspended indefinitely and that the Bill of Rights has similarly been suspended as well. The Texas National Capitol is fortified with the Texas Guard. Tanks roll down the streets of Austin. The Rebeldes Liberados now control all of Libertad. A war is on the brink of breaking out, while the famine continues.

Yemeni Rebels: With the recent loss of many rebels at Ta'Izz, different methods of fighting are used. One of the first suicide bombers for the Yemeni rebels blows himself up at a busy gas station in Sana'a, killing twelve and wounding about thirty-five others, most of them with severe to moderate burns from the gas explosions that followed. Plans for more suicide bombings are created, but these ones are mainly for government centers and government workers. As'ad Nejem begins to move from Rebel stronghold to stronghold with his trusted inner circle in no particular order to avoid bombing attacks and target assassinations. Another bombing raid is underway, this one targeting bridges, dams, and power facilities.

Turkey: Turkish fleets in the English Channel and the North Sea have sunk multiple pirate vessels with no losses. Pirates have also attempted to pillage Sealand but have been unsuccessful after they’ve been sunk twenty miles away by guided missiles from Yigit-Class Destroyers. The new satellite that Florida for us launched is jamming radio signals from the pirates, thus dropping morale for the enemy and messing up chain of command. F-4A Phantom Fighter bombers and TA-90 Vultures are taking out pirate supply lines going to Amsterdam. The government of Holland is gladly cooperating with Allied Forces to take out this pirate threat. We won’t launch bombing runs and artillery strikes due to the risk of civilian casualties. Because of this small pirate threat any supply lines that have a route along/inside Holland is to be well guarded. Allied forces in Italy have started to push the infection back to Rome after nine months of fighting. More nations in the EHU such as Iran and Egypt have started sending in troops to help the allied coalition. Phase 2 has been completed after six months of capturing towns and cities along the coast of Central and Western Europe. Troops have now surrounded and divided the infection into small circles inside of Europe that. Phase 3 will begin as soon as more supply lines are setup and more reinforcements arrive. Land is given back to the governments of nations that we’ve saved from the infection. Allied forces are now starting to build multiple FOBs to contain the infection and act as supply points, with more reinforcements sent as well. UAVs are sent to recon the circled infected areas. Turkish Aerospace Industries have come up with the schematics for the next generation fighter bomber to replace the F-4A Phantom. The result came up with the RA-20 Razorback; its armament contains a 30mm Gatling gun, with four rocket pods that each hold 20xCRV7 70mm Rockets, and 6xMaverick ATGMs. This is an average armament for the RA-20 Razorback. It has a top speed of 800kmh with an operational range of 800km. An order for 800 of these has been placed. More citizens are exiting the subways after Turkey has been declared an infection free nation.

1977.75
'The Soviets do not receive any notice from the Polish resistance. After a soldier is injured by small arms fire, the Soviets in eastern Poland retaliate by executing several hundred Polish civilians.'

'Several tanks are destroyed east of Warsaw by Polish rebels. '

'The English death count continues to rise in the British Isles. After the blunder at Holyhead, the northern resistance movement begins to recover, first be staging several large protests in northern England.'

'Austrian efforts to eradicate the Pro-democratic ex-government are successful. After a large campaign in the Alps, the area is firmly converted to the Habsburg regime. '

York Federation: Yonkers and Buffalo experience a surge in population growth. The military and navy also grow, with many conscriptions taking place. The economy grows.

Alaska: development continues. industry reaches 2.5

South Africa: Population laws are enacted. If a whole family has more than five children, they receive some benefits from the state. If they have more than ten, they will receive full benefits from the state. For blacks, if they have three children they receive some benefits and if they have six kids they receive full benefits. The first stages of The Plan have now begun. More gold is transported to Turkey as weapon and ammunition shipments arrive. The council continues talks with neighbouring countries to talk about a Union between the nations. Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia all take to the talks positively. Progress is made and it seems like maybe that the nations might decide to join the South Africans. Swaziland and Lesotho are made into complete puppets. However, this allows for the nations to see greater trading and help their fragile economies. As a result, pro-South African governments come to power in both nations. Many old factories now operate at an increased efficiency. As a result the infrastructure level increases to 1.5. Ammunition is also churned out in large numbers, while new soldiers receive increased training to make them better than militiamen and something more of a proper army. As a result the army levels up to 1.5. The offensive begins against the Zombies in broad daylight. It is wildly successful and combined with defensive movements at night time so that the majority of soldiers get sleep, they manage to overrun the Zombies and repel them from their holdings in South Africa. Almost all of the territory in Zombie hands is under South African control, yet some still remains and will need to be removed (OOC) next turn. Many of the citizens who have been liberated for the Zombies are checked for the infection. If found clear they are allowed to return. However, it is found a lot have been infected. As a result whole villages have to be wiped out from the map. The soldiers doing this have to harden their heart. Gold being extracted helps to pay for the refurbishment and upgrading of factories. The wildlife plan is going well, and many of South Africa's wild animals have now been saved as a result. Hundreds with the infection are killed mostly in the north of the nation (not the ones in the Zombie province, that is different). The council also decides that three languages will be made the national languages. Afrikaans as most of the whites speak it; English as it is the international language of trade and Zulu as it will keep the blacks happy and will mean that the whites appreciate the black language. All citizens are advised to learn all three languages. This is written into the constitution so that South Africa will become a trilingual nation.

'''You can only upgrade one at a time. '''

Ok.

Commonwealth: (I'm back) Continues development on all fields. A thing similar to the internet is developed. Borders remain closed. In occupied Guinea, natives are given some rights back. Plans to launch a massive offensive on the Papua part of Guinea are made secretly.

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 continues 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. In Okinawa, Anti-American sentiment continues to grow. The Zen Taoist Temple continues construction in Sapporo. Synthpop begins to rise in popularity.

Yemeni Rebels: During a military parade held by the Yemenise government, a suicide bomber rushes from the crowd and detonates himself at the front of the parade line. Four soldiers are killed, as well as two officers and a high-ranking general. Twenty-Six soldiers are injured as well as three officers, most with shrapnel or burns. Two T-54 tanks are damaged, and one is destroyed enough to which repairs are useless. The attack was not ordered by the Yemeni Rebels and was carried out by a rogue bomber, but the Yemeni Rebels claim it as one of their own. Funds begin to be generated in large amounts due to an illegal drug trade that the Yemeni Rebels become a part of. Main roads and railroads are targeted by the gifted bombers in the Hadramaut and Al Jawf districts. Smaller rebel groups congregate themselves at the Al Mahrah district and rise up in rebellion, hoping to open a second front on the Yemen government forces.
 * Yemeni Rebels D: We request to purchase ten M-60 Patton Main Battle tanks from the Saudi Arabian government for a price to be named by the Saudi government. The tanks will be used to aid in opening a second front.

United States: Los Angeles-class submarines continue to be built and sent to patrols, on schedule. Piracy over the English Channel largely decreases, thanks to the efforts of the local trading community. Many ex-pirates instead turn to privateering for small city-states, or to sailing with trade ships. The term ‘Channel League’ begins to be used to describe the trade agreement with the English Channel powers. The trade partners (listed on talk page) prosper from mutual trade. Forces in Texas are largely successful. Much needed food and other supplies are handed out to civilians, guarded by US army personnel, quelling some violence. The fidelity of the southern border is secured, and plans are made to eliminate rebels in the west. Following the rebellion large populations of Zombies have entered Texas, endangering much of the western population. British Columbia is contacted in Vancouver, and the former provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan are considered to be clear. Forces from Canada depart down Route 15 into Montana, seizing Helena after several weeks.
 * Republic of Susqehanna: Does the US need food?
 * RoS Diplomacy: US, what do you control still? Can you give us a list of enemies?

Turkey: Phase 3 of Operation Hydra has begun and is nearly completed. Armed UAVs have softened up Zombies in dead areas of the circled regions; allied troops have started to flood in. Troops that aren’t doing anything in Operation Hydra are sent back to Turkey. Fences are made around the circled regions to help contain the infection. With most of the infection cornered, and groups of Zombies that are isolated in Europe, there is a chance that the infection will be pushed out. We invite Pakistan into the EHU. More bio-fuel is being produced and distributed to the public. A giant stockpile of bio-fuel is being made.
 * South Africa would like to join Operation Hydra, but they would like to focus on the Netherlands (high Dutch origin whites in the nation). They would also like to open up talks of buying tanks and heavy guns and hope the Turkish trust them enough.
 * Pakistan: Declines offer to join EHU.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: We will only build and sell you 500 Leopard 1A2 Tanks for 50 tons of gold, since these are some pretty basic tanks. Feel free to make a better price. You're also allowed to send some troops to Europe and assist the allied coalition in phase 3.
 * South Africa thinks 50 tons would actually buy out the economy of Turkey and proposes 1 ton of gold (its a lot more realistic) as its equvalent in money is $75,000,000 USD. We would also like more complex tanks, even if that means there are less of them. We are also happy that Turkey has invited us to join the liberation of Europe, but we ask  that if we would be allowed to create a puppet state/zone of influence in the Netherlands after it has been liberated.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: We will take 1.5 tons of gold and we will construct for you 500 Leopard 1A4 tanks, and no you cannot claim territory of land during Operation Hydra, or else you are declaring war on NATO and the allied coalition in Europe. (OOC) I think you used modern time gold to money transition btw.
 * RoS Diplomacy: We will deploy one thousand soldiers and a armored unit supported by a helicopter.  If there is any other supplies needed, please inform us, as we are willing to support our allies against this threat!
 * Turkish Diplomacy: We are thankful for these reinforcements for phase 3 of Operation Hydra.
 * South Africa responds by saying the Turkish are very honourable people and accept the deal. Gold is shipped over and in reutrn, the tanks start to arrive. South Africa thinks that NATO would not be that big a problem. (OOC) Did I? Oh, sorry.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: What do you mean by that?
 * South Africa was talking about the gold.
 * Turkish Diplomacy: I mean that NATO wouldn't be a problem.
 * South Africa: They arent exactly strong anymore are they? America itself has to try to unite the East while Europe has been ravaged by zombies and the Dutch's best bet would be to allow white South Africans into their nation again.
 * RoS Diplomacy: South Africa, any military alliance can put a crimp in your day.
 * South Africa: Is a small survivor nation in America threatening the South Africans?
 * Turkish Diplomacy: America is still probably the most powerful nation right now, and most NATO countries are still operational such as: United States, Turkey, France, Greece, UK, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and Switzerland. You should also be scared of the RoS since they are part of NATO and we have a military base over there as well.

If your whole diplomacy post is in OOC please type it like this or discuss it on the Talk Page.

'''War breaks out in Texas! '''The Rebeldes Liberados, with the support of the rest of Libertad, turn violent. Rebel forces clear out the zombie-infested city of Del Rio and use it as a base of operations. Almost a third of Texas's population have already joined Libertad. Cities on the border of what was Mexico almost all support the rebels, as well as a majority of farmers and Hispanics. San Antonio becomes a battlefield as loyalists face off against rebels.

USSR: In response to the incident in Poland: All soldiers who fired on Polish citizens in retribution for a rebel attack on Soviet forces were tried for and convicted of War Crimes. Specifically they were convicted of Collective punishment and genocide. All those convicted were dishonorably discharge from the Red Army and then executed enmass. The C.Os of these soldiers who were not found guilty of war crimes but were complacent in these matters were discharged dishonorably for incompetence in command. An official Apology went out to the people of Poland and further more the USSR government pledges $1.5 Billion worth of humanitarian aid over the course of the next year to support the families of those affected.

'The Confederation of the Baltics begins to refit its navy. The navy, whose primary task is to patrol the Baltics and protect trade ships, is expanded to accommodate these tasks. The four Hvidbjørnen-class frigates are stationed on Zeeland. Guard vessels such as the BOTVED-class, and submarines from the NARHVALEN-class are also stationed throughout the islands. Dozens of seized ships and private vessels dominate the Baltics, expanding the naval score of the Confederation to 1.5.'

'Heavily delayed by problems on location, and with the crew, George Lucas shelves his failing Star Wars project. He declares bankruptcy soon after.'

'A miscalculation on an Alaskan oil refinery results in a large explosion, killing several in the area. (Alaska’s industrial score will remain at 2.5 for four turns.)'

'Faced with fierce Soviet brutality the Polish resistance grows. A large force of militia and ex-Polish military personnel gather at Warsaw where a bloody guerrilla campaign is launched. Outside the city hundreds are killed by improvised explosives and small arms fire.'

'A camp on the Polish border is ambushed by ex-Soviets. In the mass confusion the majority of the garrison is killed. Most of the tanks stationed in the area are reported missing or destroyed.'

'Austrian soldiers continue to secure rule in the Alps, solidifying their rule over all of Austria. Any remaining remnants of the old government surrender or flee to Liechtenstein, a haven for Austrian refugees.'

'Liechtenstein is flooded with Austrian Democrats. Although the area is still intact since little signs of the infection have reached here, they cannot facilitate so many people. A massive construction effort begins to build homes and defenses against the Austrians. With Austrian refugees now controlling a large portion of Liechtenstein, they become a voice in politics.'

'The city of Amsterdam becomes firmly under the control of the new government. The old pro-pirate policies that dominated the small survivor community are removed, and the city state begins to rebuild to join the English Channel trade network.'

Investigation into the explosion begins, and all oil-producing operations, including oil drilling in prudhoe bay, and the construction of the pipeline are halted for now. other sectors of the economy continue growth, but without Oil, any growth will be painfully slow.
