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 control in 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.

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

Map creation Rules
A few general rules concerning the map 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
Let's begin.

1970
'Zombie related deaths along the Mississippi River continue, as US personnel attempt to establish a front along the riverbank, fortifying in deserted cities.  The city of Chicago, a haven for thousands of fleeing refugees is under siege by the largest amassed zombie horde ever assembled. Mass panic ensues and many try to flee out of the city, only stopped by the makeshift checkpoints established in the surrounding area. The citizens of Forgottonia and the Greater Chicago region barricade themselves within any place they can as the zombies enter Chicago.'

'Along the Texan-Mexican border a perimeter is established, keeping the zombies back in the south. The city of Juarez, now in complete anarchy, is declared the capitol of several fledgling republics, all influenced by the local drug cartels who fight to control the city. Zombies overrun the city, temporarily ending gang violence.'

Zombies also reach the northwest where the remaining US states fall into emergency.

'In Alaska the rebel faction, centered in Fairbanks, declares an all-out war against the "corrupt, tyrannical government" still remaining in Juneau and Anchorage, which still aligns with the US and its unfavored Alaskan-Russian treaties. Alaskans in mass hysteria round up and kill dozens of Russian refugees and traders, greatly angering the Soviets in the west of the state. Finally, in a final act of rage the Russian tribes of Alaska destroy the old treaty and gather its peaceful citizens for war. Several days later the Alaskan sky is ignited by several raided oil stockpiles. The harsh conditions push the main Alaskan force deeper into Innoko National Wildlife Refuge, where a last stand must be made until the army can be mobilized. The Southern Alaskan front is established through Denali (Mt. McKinley), where the Alaskan state guard watch for the first signs of an offensive toward Anchorage. '

In New England the many states of the former US northeast scramble for control of their claimed areas and the contested zone in the north.

'In Pennsylvania many urge for the uniting of the former state. '

'On the British Isles the zombies thrive and engulf much of southern England. The English government falls back to major cities and begins to consider officially moving its capital elsewhere, as London is now officially abandoned. The City of London, locked away behind its walls, care little of the problems outside. The wall is hastily fortified by those inside. Outside hundreds flock to the doors, begging to be allowed in, dividing the people within. Should they let these refugees in, risking contamination? Or should they abandon the Londoners to die. Inside there is already little housing creating a crisis within. Normally the city of London has more commuters then residents, meaning that there is only housing for a small fraction of the current population. Many die of poor sanitation and lack of supplies.'

'In France and Italy the zombie infection spreads rapidly. The European governments struggle to set up defenses in time.'

In Vietnam the north continues it aggression unaffected. With US military almost completely withdrawn, northern soldiers push easily into the south. South Vietnam urges its allies not to abandon them. But what more can the US do? The zombies are coming for us... '

God help us all.

Australia: Offers to the English government to be located to a remote island under Australian control to be inspected to prevent the disease from spreading. Bans all entering and leaving of the nation, limited to traveling between Australia and New Zealand, we offer the New Zealanders to join Australia in a full union under the name of "The Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand". Martial Law is placed temporarily, forces under heavy restrictions to restore order from the panicked populace. Northwest Federation: The governors of Oregon, Idaho, and Washington all meet at Seattle to establish a temporary government. The First Triumvirate is formed and the Northwestern Federation is created. Though the safest areas are around the Puget Sound, the military establishes various strong points and settlements. Troops pull out of Spokane and are relocated to various towns and bases in central Washington. A flood of refugees enter from Montana, able to escape using motor vehicles. The Cascade Range acts as an obstacle for the zombies. Though the border of the Northwest Federation is drawn at Idaho, by h end of the month, the military declares the 'safe zones' are areas west of the Cascade Range. Refugees from the trouble in Alaska enter the Puget Sound via ferry or boat. The area is split up into several districts, each encompassing what used to be counties.
 * English Diplomacy: We reject this kind and sincere offer on the grounds that we do not wish to leave our people to stand alone against this ungodly hell.
 * New Zealand Diplomacy: We accept your offer. May the rest of the world look up to our leadership during this time.

Bay Republic: Manages to push all zombies out of the region, and fortifies bridges to ensure if there is a zombie outbreak it will be constrained. Boats, both from the national guard and commandeered, patrol the Bay and surrounding coasts to ensure security from encroaching hordes. The top priority is military organization and a steady food supply after that. To deal military organization soldiers begin being put into ranks and regiments depending on training, and to deal with food fishing vessels are sent out and expansion eastward begins in attempts to seize more fertile Valley regions. A C.S. (Californian Ship) Gorge is sent north to see what survives in Alaska. Meanwhile, Anton LaVey begins becoming popular.
 * You are the green nation, I think. The Bay Republic is San Fran.


 * I think San Fran is farther south than purple.


 * Did you read the Pre-Apocalypse Timeline?


 * Can I change nations?


 * We just started. I don't see why not.

Confederate States of Halifax: Concerning the public with the recent breakdown of the west, Victor de Bedia Oland (the current Governor of Nova Scotia) breaks away from the government of Canada. With pressing matters, Prince Eduard's Island breaks from Canada as well, and forms The Confederate States of Halifax. Due to the fear of infection, the west border is blockaded and harbors are shut down. Tourist are deported. Martial law is declared in Halifax and Charlottetown, along with a 9PM Curfew. A National Guard is assembled.
 * For future reference the Bay Republic is the small purple nation south of the green one. It encompasses all of San Francisco.

Chicago: At the wake of the Zombie Apocalypse, The Mayor is kicked out of power and the Police Force takes over. The western borders are completely blocked with nobody coming in or out. The southern borders are closely monitored with a series of checkpoints and are used as camps for survivors. The eastern border is the least monitored border, with one major checkpoint and a few others here and there. If the apocalypse gets worse, however, Chicago is ready to enact stricter border controls, especially on the eastern border. Our main form of communication with the outside world is radio, telegraphs, supply planes, and ships. Our natural resources are water, metal, concrete, and wheat. We have access to oil via water. We send a diplomat to the Annapolis Conference via supply ship.

Free Alaskan Republic: Most Alaska begins mass migrations, Alaskan Russians to the west, American supporters to the south, and Supporters of the free Alaska to the interior. Security around Fairbanks becomes tighter, and fears of Zombie attacks are common. Raids in Northern Alaska, and in the Russian occupied territories is common. Supplies, especially military supplies, are valuable, and while money has become worthless, Gold mined in the interior has become useful as a currency. Everyone is expected to help out with the military effort in some way, but Alaska will not gain freedom on their own. Diplomats are sent to contact nations in the Pacific Northwest. Not much is known about these nations except for a few rumors from fishermen and prospectors, but they take the risk, and secretly send diplomats via Canada to contact the nations.

USSR: Works on military and makes people have regular appointments to check for the zombie virus, which many doctors think may be curable. Thousands begins joining the Zombie Patrol, and anyone suspected of being a zombie is killed. Works on nuclear missiles and bombs and begins planning to nuke the zombie areas of North America and Europe, but not any human centers.

Cuba: Hearing of Zombies on the mainland, Castro orders all men of all trade ships to be inspected, and shoots anyone that has a wound that looks suspicious. The coasts are on watch, in case anything washes up. The only help given to Zombified areas is Air strikes, so as to not bring any infected soldiers home. No one is allowed near the old US unless approved under the government.

Italy: After hearing the USSR's news (that came in Italy via Soviet embassy in Rome), President Giuseppe Saragat bans every trade coming from infected areas and makes an anti-Zombie law, similar to the Soviet Zombie Patrol; it will be started on Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Lazio, Apulia, Campania, Sicily and Sardinia. United States: Military involvement in the midwest continues as ground forces attempt to establish checkpoints along the Mississippi River. The city of St. Louis is under constant bombardment by the US forces who advance toward the city from the south. A temporary government controlled by the military is established in Nashville for the purpose of properly facilitating fleeing refugees heading east. The United States Occupied Midwest Territory, more commonly known as Mississippi is officially declared. Excluding the territories’ capitol, Nashville, a loosely patrolled no-man’s-land emerges between the front along the Mississippi River and the US to the east. Rural and suburban areas in this wasteland fall into disrepair, while urban centers become havens for gangs and looters who control their share of the abandoned former United States. Faced with imminent starvation following the lack of agriculture maintained in the former midwest, many turn to crime to survive while fleeing east. Hundreds are killed from violence along route 64 and 59. In an effort to combat the attrition the government establishes the United States Agricultural Delta in the former state of Arkansas and Mississippi. At first very few in their right mind accept the promises of the government to head back west. Some are literally shipped there along route 40 after failing to repay debts while others, unable or unwilling to flee east have no other choice. Many begin purchasing land and other equipment in Nashville which thrives from the new market. Another hub is established at the military outpost of Memphis, which is largely considered the final checkpoint before the infected zone. Sentries and basic patrols are established along the former highways from Washington to Nashville, to Memphis, and military aid to Louisiana and Texas is increased. The former city of Vicksburg, Mississippi also prospers from the farming, becoming the center of the southern Delta. Its markets and gambling centers make quick revenue from the traveling farmers. The US currency becomes almost useless past Franklin except as tinder and in the many automated vending machines, leaving many to adapt a more primitive barter system. The United States urges its people to stay united, tasking many to govern themselves. US militia patrols the east, making sure that no criminals or infected enter the east coast, even if it means the deaths of innocent travelers. Communication and trade continues between Franklin, the last civilized trading union before the infected zone. Supplies also trickles its way into the many remnant states in the northeast. '''The United States urges all countries of NATO and the Warsaw Pact to work together to stop the Zombie horde. We also urge all nations armed with nuclear weapons to avoid using them at all costs. In order to further discuss these terms a conference is called in Annapolis (on talk page).'''
 * Italy, keep in mind that there are already zombies within your border (See map above).

England: The British Royal family and a large proportion of the Royal Guard is airlifted from Buckingham Palace to the island of Anglesey in North Wales. The British Royal family had successfully managed to survive this long due to the defence properties of the palace, and the military expertise of the Royal Guard. The vast pantry of the palace has also been able to sustain the high health of those inside, and those suffering from illness are treated successfully by medics within the Royal Guard. Once they land on Anglesey, they are moved to Beaumaris Castle, where the castle is reinforced with modern military weaponry and a now vastly armed Royal Guard. Menai Bridge and Brittania Bridge are destroyed by Royal Engineers stationed in Anglesey, cutting off all links with the mainland. The English Cabinet are airlifted to RAF Valley in Anglesey. Military patrols begin to be sent around the island to check for infection and make sure that no zombies wash up on the island's shores. A warning is sent to all NATO and Warsaw Pact nations that any nuclear strike launched at the British Isles, regardless of target, shall be met with a decisive and large reprisal strike. Fearing that the most likely user of nuclear weapons to be the USSR, two Resolution-class submarines are moved into the Kara Sea, and launch authority is given to the two English submarine commanders for the launch of their Polaris nuclear missiles, if they detect a nuclear launch on a trajectory with the British Isles. England shall attend the Annapolis conference.

East Germany: East German scientists are trying to figure out how to use the zombies to their advantage.

London: Raiding of the Bank of England's Vaults gains the City several Tonnes of Gold Bullion, and the Raid also turned up a large amount of Steel, Guns and Ammunition stockpiled in Buckingham Palace and left after the evacuation. The Proportion of Royal Guard deserted by the English Forces swell the ranks of the City's armed forces. A new source of housing is found after discovering that, contrary to popular believe, the Underground network is relatively clear of Zombies. Hundreds of people take to the underground, and a 'screening station' at the station at Trafalgar Square where refugees from London are held and their blood is checked for the Toxin. If they are clean they are allowed into the tube network, if not, they are rendered unconscious and dumped in the Thames to drown. The WWII destroyer HMS Belfast is refurbished, and becomes a safe method of travel on the surface, allowing the City to begin searching for survivors in the rest of southern England. The London Government feeling only contempt towards the City of London's cowardice, utilises its new army to push the zombies out of their borders, and asks the CoL (City of London) to rejoin London to help make a Bastion of Hope in southern England. (Do I have to do that if they don't have a player?)
 * City of London Diplomacy: The City of London declines London's offer for union but asks for a trade agreement. (The City of London would probably try to keep the old treaties alive by retaining their rights and sovereignty. Try to ally with them and they will rejoin you if/when you remake the United Kingdom.)
 * N.B: The "City of London" and the city known as "London" are different things. I had a feeling that this problem would emerge so I will permit you to revise your post slightly. Comments about London, the city will be moved to a separate post.


 * I'm assuming you want to be London, the city, so I will change the nations list.

Saudi Arabia: The Arabs get notified that there has been a Zombie outbreak, they started stockpiling oil and closed off ports. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud says, "We ask for an alliance with the United States, Great Britain, Iraq, Iran, West Germany, Japan, and France"  We will attend the Annapolis Conference

Colombia: The government hears about the news about the zombie outbreak, many of the population doesn't initially understand the zombies as many haven't heard of such a creature to exist, but the government rapidly realises the great concern that this posses to the republic status, firstly it closes its port to all European, Mexican and American trading, and it begins pulling its troops, the President Restrepo remains In power though sharing it with his successor Misael Pastrana Borrero, the first one dealing with the issue of establishing a fence from Uraba to the south of the Panamanian border to avoid the zombies fully reaching the region of Choco. Despite previous conflicts it asks Cuba to join in a Caribbean alliance to protect each others Nation in case of outbreak. San Andres And Providencia are given the status of special outpost and many military ships are sent to protect the island in case of outbreak, the fence is beginning to be built with some success but fear of the zombie arrival grows. Panama is offered an alliance and Colombian protection, and the rebels are offered an cease of fire, which they accept and offer of military aid in the likely zombie fronts and the construction of the Panamanian wall, which the government urged accepts.
 * New Turn?

Turkey: The Turks asked for a trade operation with Saudi Arabia. And Also start building hundreds of Leopard 2A4 Tanks, ACV-AIFV for protection of the nation in a time of chaos. Civilians are being drafted into the military without question, turning the population into a government controlled militia incase of an outbreak. All trade is monitored. Naval vessels are constantly on watch for any signs of an enemy invasion. Border watches are also placed on HIGH ALERT. Shooting anybody on sight that tries to enter the nation illegally. Walls are also starting to be built around major cities, and the border
 * A new turn is scheduled to start each day at  21:00 UTC. Since this turn has been slightly longer because of the odd start I'll start a new turn in forty minutes. After that the normal schedule will continue. Mscoree (talk) 23:49, March 28, 2013 (UTC) 

Madagascar:   Madagascar has put there scientist to work on finding a solution to get rid of all zombies. Our military has been issued shoot to kill on all civilians that have been exposed to the virus.
 * There are currently no zombies on Madagascar.

1970.25
'A front is established at the Mississippi River, and the city of St. Louis is entered by US soldiers, suffering heavy casualties. The government in Nashville begins branching out to protect farmers and traders heading to the Delta region. Small farms are established, but constant raids from roaming bands of raiders make life on the frontier a nightmare. Food begins to trickle back into the east to the cities along the coast.  The siege of Juarez and Chicago continues with little ground taken by human forces.' 'The diplomatic situation in London continues to disintegrate between the English government, the Londoners, the fort within, and the many roaming gangs. Hundreds die within the City of London, where the housing and food shortages continue. '

'Hundreds of fleeing refugees escaping off the coast of England encounter the micronation known as Sealand. The Sealanders accept the refugees and begin screening them for signs of infection (The nation of Sealand has been added).  English refugees make shelter on the Isle of Wight where a community is formed. '

'Blockades continue to be established in the Bay Republic where order is established in San Francisco.  The Zombie horde enters Panama, northern Spain, central Italy, West Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands. '

Saudi Arabia:The Saudis deployed troops to help their allies, Yemen and Oman. Saudi Arabia accepts the trade offer with Turkey, armed troops arrive in Turkey, stationed for the time being. Saudis begin drafting more citizens, into the armed forces. Saudis start producing 15th FA MLRS Battalion. The foreign settlers in Saudi Arabia are forced into interrogation and examines to see whether or not they carry the infection. Saudi Arabia then increases the defenses at it’s borders. Saudi Arabia requests an ally with Madagascar. Bay Republic: Makes contact with the Republic of Alaska via C.S.Gorge and offers that the two nations share technology and supplies. The Gorge returns home to be repaired and outfitted with faster engines, and to be renamed the B.R.S. Gorge (Bay Republic ship, as Bay Ship would not sound good). Several orchards and farms are seized in the Valley, and the first scouts reach Sacramento. Meanwhile, the first ship built by the Bay Republic is planned and in undergoes construction, but due to limited supplies it is estimated to take a year to make. The military is re-organized by combat experience going into Civil (former police), Seabears (former navy), Rolling Fog (air force), the Sentinels (former military), and Militia (rag-tag/ just joined), and Raiders [not actual raiders(rag-tag with experience)]. The Hells Angels join the military, joining the Raiders group and are sent out on long-range scouting missions, with some going as far as Salt Lake City. Due to the recent apocalypse, many mesotheists "convert" to LaVeyan Satanism and join the Church of Satan, and Anton LaVey encourages that they do what they can to aid in the apocalypse. The mayors of the towns in the Bay Republic get together and decide to elect a leader, being a man from Concord named Virgil Baal, who is elected almost anonymously. Expands south and east.
 * Saudi Arabia and Yemen are enemies and are currently at war.
 * Free Alaska Diplomacy: We cannot trade now, because there is no safe trade route from the Alaskan interior to your country. However, if you assist in the liberation of Alaska, we can promise you that you will have a generous share of oil.
 * Bay Republican Diplomacy: We unfortunately cannot send soldiers as we currently have our own issues, you know, with zombies. We will, on the other hand, be able to smuggle some food into Alaska in time for the Winter season.

Turkey: Turkey's construction of walls across the border of the nation is nearly complete. All trade is blockaded. Except for products that are entering from Saudi Arabia, and the United States. Turkey also urges/requests for all countries in the region to ally our military powers for stability of the Middle East. Artillery, tanks, helicopters, and IFVs that recently came off the assembly line start to patrol the border. Turkey also requests Israel to talk about diplomatic relations. Manufacturing of more advanced tanks begin. Connected bunkers are also being built underneath the capital city of Ankara to secure important diplomats, and military leaders. Turkey has also been interested in producing clean nuclear, and solar energy. Curfews have also been taken place. Anybody spotted during the night will be questioned, and will most likely be checked for infection. Mining operations for rare Earth metals, and basic materials have also been executed to ensure the ability to have an adequate military. Northwest Federation: Interstate 4 is cleared of abandoned cars, allowing for easier travel between Puget Sound cities and Portland. Gas is siphoned and the cars are, in some cases, retrieved or scrapped. Interstates 90 and 84 are also largely excavated. The military stages multiple attacks on infested territory, pushing the undead out of several dozen districts in Washington and Oregon with the help of various survivor communities. The safe zone extends farther east by June. Communication with the Bay Republic, Northern California, and the various Alaskan states is established. The Northwestern Federation declares neutrality for the time being in the Alaskan conflict. The rather sizable navy establishes a defensive perimeter along the Northwestern Shore in case the USSR gets any ideas.
 * Can I switch to Israel?Jdplayer10 (talk) 01:43, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure.

Chicago: We begin to reinforce our city with supplies and rally troops. Our slogan is "The Dead is at your Door. Join us and they will be no more!" Thousands soon join the Chicagoan Forces and the Zombies are slowly fought off. The workday is divided into six hour shifts and checkpoints in the southern border are expanded, making room for new camps and Zombie research facilities, trying to find a cure for the Zombie virus. We politely request that the US aid us in our struggle against the zombies. Free Alaska: diplomats, mainly operating through contacts within the Bay Republic, manage to contact the various nations that have formed in the northwest. Life in the interior is harsh, and fights are common. anyone who isn't working in the mines is either producing weapons or in the military. It is compulsory to own a firearm, but military grade weapons are especially encouraged. After border skirmishes intensify, a law is passed requiring that people stand and fight in the case of an attack on their land. anyone who lets their land be taken by the enemy can be subject to hard labor. more people migrate to Fairbanks. In the area around Fairbanks, Christianity and Native Alaskan Shamanism begin to mix into what is called Tchiaq Ukpibun, literally "new faith". Tchiaqites are mainly concentrated close to Fairbanks, but in more sparsely populated areas. The religion is a minority, but it is the fastest growing. villagers report seeing a few zombies near the Canadian border, but sightings were mainly found in the summertime. one local claims to have seen a zombie in November that was freezing to death, and crawling on the ground, leading some authorities to wonder if zombies, and perhaps the virus itself has an aversion to the cold weather. Confederate States of Halifax: Full borders are established in the west, with western Canada in chaos not much Canadian resistance is present. Harbors are opened with only a selected team with Hazmat suits to interact with foreign boats. Countries with infected reported are not being traded with. The Capital becomes Charlottetown but only current citizens and  government are allowed on Prince Edward's Island. Rations are given to all citizens as supplies are being stockpiled. Regions are created with a governor to control each region. Voting for the Regional Governors begins. Water refining plants begin to clean ocean salt water for later drinking use. Gas Masks are being handed out to the public. (Will now be called CSH) Australia: Offers again to the remaining UK governments to move to remote Australian islands. Complete border shut down, limited to travel between Australia and New Aealand only. Martial law remains.
 * United States Diplomacy: The United States continues military involvement in Chicago.
 * Is Free Alaska the light blue part?
 * Yes
 * CSH Diplomacy: An alliance offer is sent to Free Alaska. New Foundland is offered to Join the CSH.
 * Free Alaska Diplomacy: We accept.

China: Chairman Mao dies abruptly in office on April 4th, Deng Xiao Ping is now the New Chairman. To commemorate the death of Mao, the PLA invaded Hong Kong. Due to England overrun by zombies, the army took HK after five days of intense fighting. The army and navy plans for an invasion of Taiwan. Closes off the border and stops trade to USA and Europe except USSR. Deng starts reforming. A plan is given to the upper council, saying to attack the zombies in America and thus, gain American land. Universities starts researching zombie virus cures.
 * London Diplomacy: Would, but can't, no way to travel.
 * English Diplomacy: We once again turn down this sincere offer, as we don't want to leave our people.

Cuba:The USA is given support, but asks Puerto Rico in return. Troops coming back are checked, and any men with wounds are killed on sight. Castro orders scientists to research a cure. Trade is still not allowed with Mainland North America though. Closes borders to American refugees, not allowing anyone in. The USA is asked if Scorched Earth tactic could be implemented in their land, this way it destroys them faster.

Manhattan: The Former NYCs borders are closed to refugees. A military begins to be developed. Martial law is declared, and the city is renamed the Empire City of Manhattan. Relations are open with the US and Chicago. Traders are allowed, but must be checked when they come back, and if they have a bite, they are killed. Doctors research the cure.

Republic of Ireland: Ireland shuts down all of its borders. National Guard is called to deal with zombies inside the borders. Calls for alliance with Scotland, Man, and Brittany. East Germany: East Germany fears the zombies will enter their country soon. Orders are given by the government to kill any person who has been bitten by a zombie.
 * English Diplomacy: England states that any alliance with the rebel state of Scotland shall be met with English aggression. We offer an alliance with England as an alternative, so that we can cleanse the British Isles of this ungodly menace together.
 * Ireland Diplomacy: The Republic of Ireland declines your offer for an alliance, we want to remain neutral. Although, we will aid in the anti-zombie campaign on the British Isles.
 * English Diplomacy: Will you cancel your alliance offer to Scotland?
 * Ireland Diplomacy: Yes, I am not going to ally with Scotland or England for now.

Japan: Japan begins to build up the Self-Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Japan also offers China a non-aggression pact.

London: The Army begins to eradicate any zombies, anyone with a bite is painlessly drowned whilst sedated. Asks Sealand and the City of London for an alliance. They then fortify London against an expected attack from England. Government moves into the underground, which has less zombies than above ground. They shut off the entry to the tube, except the screening station, and one or two stations in areas clear of zombies, where they start to loot houses to get food. The Army has pulled down the houses near the edge of  London, and dug in around the three surface areas London holds, Trafalgar Square Tube station, Covent Garden Tube station and Leicester Square Tube Station, against the zombies, and the English.
 * You can't pick up the entirety of London and her people, plus a bunch of nukes and move it to Man. Man is a separate country to which you have no diplomatic relations or contact with. Not to mention you're moving through a zombie infested area. Rewrite your turn and this time no relocation and no nuke steal. 


 * Sorry, I've deleted the previous stuff as it looks untidy, and is useless anyway.

United States: US soldiers fortify within St. Louis and other cities along the Mississippi River. A new strategy is organized by the leaders of the Mississippi territory. General Creighton Williams Abrams Jr. is appointed high commander of Mississippi and begins implementing a new Vietnam-style search-and-destroy campaign into the Midwest. Hundreds of areas shown to be of high zombie concentration are targeted by napalm strikes and ground forces are tasked with investigating suspected human populations near the river. Supplies and reinforcements are able to reach St. Louis via the Delta highway, which is now patrolled daily by the US army. Farming communities are established in the Delta, growing food to sustain the campaign. The siege of Chicago finally ends as US and Chicago soldiers manage to push the zombies past the reaches of the city. The area around the city still remains heavily infected and a plan to push the zombies out of Illinois is written up to be completed by this time next year. The United States stresses that any attack on former or current US territory will be regarded as an act of war. Trade continues between Chicago, Franklin, the Delta, Manhattan, and the New England region. We accept Saudi Arabia’s alliance offer and begin stockpiling Saudi oil.
 * Okay it has been fixed. For future reference: NO ONE SHOULD BE NUKING ANYTHING. THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD WAR. Mscoree (talk) 17:58, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

England: The island of Anglesey has now been checked and has been found to be clear of all infection. Beaumaris Castle, now the residence of the Royal Family, has its fortifications bolstered with modern building techniques, the use of concrete and bricks from building yards on the island means this work is completed swiftly. The Royal Guard is brought back to full strength with members of the British Army stationed at RAF Valley being conscripted. The Royal Guard's ceremonial gear, apart from their iconic red coats, are dispensed of, with what is lost being replaced with current military gear in black camouflage. Beaumaris Castle has heavy machine guns, recovered from scrapped helicopters at RAF Valley, mounted onto its walls, with one on each of the castles towers. The Royal Guard is now armed with L1A1 rifles, the most modern British rifle, and reside in the castle permanently alongside the Royal Family. The castle's walls as a result are constantly patrolled by the Royal Guard for signs of danger, undead, or otherwise. The English Cabinet inquires to the de facto governments of Wales and Northern Ireland if they shall stay with them in what remains of the United Kingdom, and if so proposes the reformation of the United Kingdom's remnants into the United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Around 35% of MPs are found safe and uninfected barricaded in their homes and are airlifted along with their families to Anglesey, using plans formed for the event of a Soviet nuclear attack. Contact is made with all military bases in England, it is found their firepower and defences have allowed them to hold off the undead and take in large numbers of refugees from surrounding areas, they state how they had to turn away those who were infected, and their use of deadly force for those who refused. Contact is also made with a number of major English cities, who have enclaves of survivors who have successfully been able to hold off the zombie horde, plans are drawn up to reinforce the survivors with the British Army before the end of the year. Recon is performed on the city of London, and it is found that the city has split into two different factions. Plans begin to be secretly drawn up to retake the city at some point in the future, once the zombie menace in the surrounding area has been dealt with.

Welsh Diplomacy: We will remain in the United Kingdom and we agree to the reformation.

Northern Irish Diplomacy: We shall stay in the United Kingdom and also agree to the reformation.

'Zombies enter British Columbia, the Northwest Federation, western Canada, the south of Panama, Columbia, further into Spain, southern Italy, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia.   The Annapolis conference continues (on talk page). '


 * Zombies are already in the Northwest Federation


 * Do you know that between Panama and Colombia there is the Darien Forest a deep forest through the isthmus and Colombia, and even zombies would take more than three months to really pass. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 21:58, March 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * They don't bother with stopping to sleep though, and they don't stop when some of them die, and they just go straight over things like cliffs, so they could just use their own bodies to deal with any obstacle they face.


 * Even so, swamplands are hard to cross for humans, and it would make them easier prey to animals seeking for a good food source, as well that like I say, zombies would be going randomly to reach Colombia as well how could they have hopped through the Panama Canal.


 * They would just eat anything that attacked them, and they are going to Colombia because they can smell people, and they would just keep walking whilst in the swamp, even if they sank, and they would block the canal with each others bodies.

Saudi Arabia: The Saudis began producing Cadillac Gage Commando V-150 for their Saudi Arabian National Guard. The nation now allows refugees to take shelter in the country if they pass the medical and physical exams. The Arabs get interested in nuclear technology and starts recruiting soldiers for possible biological attacks. Saudi Arabia request alliance with Iraq and Iran. Saudi Arabia wants to discuss diplomatic relations with; Iran, Iraq,and Israel. They are discussing how they treat their people and also the diplomatic relations, trade operations, and military alliance between Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Israel. Saudi Arabia request a Peace Treaty with Egypt and Yemen.
 * Also the few jeeps that passed the Darien took three months, being jeeps, so zombies should at least take on year because, this are swamps and Zombies would be wandering, barely Populated regions. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 22:15, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * The note about the Northwest Federation: I meant they enter more. Currently the zombie situation in Colombia is minimal. The natural obstacles that Sine brought up are an excellent point as to why. Very few zombies have actually made it to the Colombian border.

Turkey: Turkey starts recruitment for the TBRU (Turkish Biological Response Unit); armed with Hazmat suits, gas masks and flamethrowers. They are mainly ready for any zombie outbreak, and put on a 24/7 standby. Construction of two nuclear power plants has also been underway. Scorched Earth and Search and Destroy tactics have been allowed within the nation’s borders, in case of a zombie outbreak. Naval dry-docks have also started building naval vessels in the Black Sea, and Mediterranean Sea, in case of any naval invasion. Research of a LAMS (Laser Anti-Missile System) is under way, with prototypes also starting to be created. The LAMS works by a chemical mix of Iodine, and Oxygen, when these two chemicals mix and put under a lot of pressure, it causes really hot Ultraviolet Rays. IR cameras installed on the LAMS detect airborne heat signatures, (e.g: missiles, enemy planes, and helicopters) when a heat signature is detected, the LAMS aims a lens at the airborne object; thus firing really hot ultraviolet lasers at it, which can cause it to get burned up, and shot down. The government controlled militia is also put down. However every citizen is at least supposed to contain one gun in a household, and drafting is still happening. Hospitals have been put under guard. Military checkpoints are being strategically placed in cities, and around the country. Research of V/J-TOL helicopters has also been under research in case of the need of fast insertion of troops. Turkey with Saudi Arabia has also asked Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Israel, the U.A.E, and Qatar to be part of a strategic military alliance of the Middle East; to ensure stability of the region, and the safety of its citizens. This will all be discussed at the Annapolis Conference, or at another diplomatic conference. Radar towers and SAM sites will also be placed on mountains to detect, and shoot down any enemy air units that are attacking the nation, and its allies. Development of the border walls are still going pretty linear, the wall that borders Bulgaria, and Greece has been nearly complete, however the wall blocking Iraq, Syria, Iran, Armenia, and Georgia is only a third of the way finished. More towns have been called in to make the nation’s biggest work force to ensure its security. Turkey is also starting a government funded anti-nuclear weapon movement. The TNWC (Turkish Nuclear Weapon Watch) has recently been established, and manned in Ankara. Turkey is also asking Cyprus if they can build a military harbor/installation on the island, and a naval dry-dock. Two battleships are also being constructed at two military dry-docks in undisclosed locations; one on the coast of the Black Sea, the other on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Naval Defense Cannons are also being strategically placed to make sure nobody tries to attack Turkey by sea. Uranium, Plutonium mines, and Aluminum ore deposits have been found around Mt. Ararat. The Uranium is currently being sent to tank factories to start developing depleted-uranium armor plates. Border patrols are still on high alert for any sign of infection, and/or attack. Turkey is also asking if Mercedes Benz, and Bell Helicopter to sign a contract to build more military factories within its borders. If these companies agree to sign the contract, the factories will be built with the help of the government budget. The constructions of subways have started underneath major cities, such as Istanbul, and Ankara. These subways will enact as shelters in case of a zombie outbreak, nuclear war, or any other major event occurring in the nation. Storage rooms are going to be created to store MREs, weapons, fuel, and power generators. All of these resources are going to be used for basic needs for survival, in the underground. Electronic pumps can also gather water from underground aquifers. Food is also distributed along its citizens.
 * Turkey with Saudi Arabia has also asked Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Israel, the U.A.E, and Qatar to be part of a strategic military alliance of the Middle East. Remember for all Middle Eastern countries to go to the talk page about the Middle Eastern Alliance, in the Annapolis Conference section.


 * Saudi Arabia invites Turkey and Iran to join the Arab League.


 * Turkey accepts the offer and is currently sending aid, and troops to neighboring countries of the Arab League to help.


 * Mod Decision: Iraq and Iran agree to a military alliance.


 * Do you have any idea how heavy uranium is, those tanks would collapse under their own weight.


 * Tanks in the world actually have depleted uranium in their armor.


 * In the early 1970s in a zombie apocalypse, not so much.

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self-Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Japan again offers China a non-aggression pact. Meanwhile Kazutomi Takayama releases a manga, called Imperishable Night which features Seiga Rokkaku (OTL Seiga Kaku) as the main character, who is a hunter.
 * Stealing my subway idea much?
 * Wasn't Imperishable Night not released until 2004?


 * If you're talking about the eight Touhou Project game of the same name, yes. I just used the title of that game and used it as a title for this manga. -Kogasa


 * Okey Dokey. 

Cuba: Continues all operations. Once again asks the USA if we can buy Puerto Rico. Cure is researched. Military is building, many men begin to join. A new wing of the Military is dedicated to stealth and Search and Destroy  missions, made up of elite troops, called Havana Especial.

London: The people of London are issued with air purifying breathers after a scientist discovers the possibility of infection by air. Scout units with sniper rifles are sent to disrupt the English forces in the capital. They use flash bangs to attract zombies to the English forces and the sniper rifles (L42A1) to kill the English officers to disrupt the chain of command and demoralise the troops. The army begins to be upgraded (I have guns, metal, ammunition, water and money) an exploratory mission to RAF bases returns with around 500 men, 100 of which are royal engineers, assault rifles and Jeeps. The Above ground area is reduced to only Trafalgar and Leicester Square which, using the rubble of the Bridges across the Thames, and the skills of the Royal engineers found in RAF Halton are fortified to near impregnability. Covent Garden Tube station was collapsed after the English troops begin to loot the nearby area. The LDF (London Defence Force) reduce the rest of the city to ruins, and blow all the bridges across the Thames to slow the English. Buckingham Palace, the Symbol of the English Royal Family, is torched. Royal engineers tap into one of the many underground rivers in London, this one; the Tyburn. This gives the citizen of London water. The HMS Belfast is sent on a secret mission is estimated to arrive at its destination by next turn, when it completes its twin purposes. Within a large tunnel next to the Thames, construction begins on two x-craft. The majority of the army, as a safety net in case of attack, retreat in to the countryside, to commence guerrilla warfare. '''Offers an alliance with Scotland against England. Also offers an alliance with the CoL to prevent the English from taking over London''' 'United we stand, Divided we fall'


 * What spreads the Zombies, bites or a virus?


 * It's an infection so it can spread from coming in contact with zombie blood pathogens (such as getting bitten), from non-sterile, infected objects, and from the air (rare).


 * Okay, so the people who aren't infected in the underground aren't going to become zombies, and if they are tell me so I can revise my post a little.


 * When do we get a new map, I'm losing track of where the zombies are and aren't.

Australia: Mass-scale militarization begins, fearing riots and panic among the public. Borders are now completely sealed off from the outside world (aside from New Zealand). Australia is now completely isolated and dependent on itself for resources. Families become more self-provisional for themselves by gardening and farming their own livestock.
 * I'll try to make something showing the location of major outbreaks later.

Colombia: the News of Zombies on The republic scares many but the zombies are managed to be fended of the Chocoan Darien territories as they were not enough to really overwhelm the military. The Colombian Military Efforts to build the wall continue now with most of the Extension finished, only remaining Deep Darien territories, 75 of the Fence is Done and the Military Continues patrolling the area. Fearing of an outbreak in Venezuela and Brazil. The government begins building fences along both of the countries as military measures against infection. Ecuador is asked to Join a Mutual border fence to protect both nations from the Infection outbreaks possible to occur in Brazil or Peru. While this, Military is built up and the capitals of Antioquia, Choco, Bolivar, Valle del Cauca, Amazonas, and Norte de Santander are Fortified and highly militarized. The rest are occupied in Evacuation process to the more fortified cities, mainly to Medellin, Cartagena, Cali and Bogota. An alliance is asked with Brazil and Cuba, to defend each other from the zombies. The Navy is widely expanded and crops are beginning to be rationed by the government and cultivated in the farmlands of the country to start a self-sustaining nation in case of losing contact with outside nations.

Bay Republic: An AM radio station is repaired, and signals are being sent out as far as they can to call refugees to the Republic, bringing many who picked up the signal. Many of the refugees joining the Militia, or are given land on eastern borders under the condition they either make a defensible building or farm, many refugees also leave, as they see that Satanism is on the rise, and as most people are ignorant of what Satanism really is they see it as a city of demons and leave. Supplies are smuggled into Free Alaska via ship then stealth, and '''an alliance is asked for with the Northwest Federation. '''The Anton LaVey, after convincing many members of the Church of Satan to contribute many join the military, and due to possible future ammo shortages a a Satanist who is also a blacksmith, with a small cult of people following him under the coercion of LaVey begin making melee weapons with a goodly range, such as zweihanders, halberds, pole axes, etc. which are donated to the government, and Anton LaVey is given an award by Virgil Baal called the "Savior" award to his contributions. Baal himself "converts" to Satanism, followed by the leader of the Hells Angels. The BRS Gorge is sent to Southern California on a scouting mission, and returns with less ammunition and a good amount of survivors, reporting that the south was almost completely dead. Expands east and south.

Chicago: Our city is reinforced and we counter the zombies. Chicago begins preparing for Operation: Surround and Destroy. We do this by stalking up food and establishing a military training program that should be perfected by 1971. Zombie virus research continues.

Free Alaska: As the battle of Denali continues, the Free Alaskans hold their ground at Healy. The Main Garrison holds at the town, while reinforcements arrived from the north to flank the attackers. In the counterattack that followed, the Free Alaskans gained a decisive victory, but do not have the resources to unify the rest of the state (see algorithm). Meanwhile, the Alaskans ask Canada for an alliance, so Alaska can be unified. Around the nation, the flag used by the Denali regiment (the defenders of Healy) becomes popular as a national flag.

Northwest Federation: Wenatchee is taken early in the season. By August, troops march on Yakima. They spend much of August and September surrounding the city before storming it in late September. Meanwhile, the safe zone expands to encompass more districts. In Oregon, troops march on Bend, just reaching it by mid-September. The fighting continues into the next season. The alliance with the Bay Republic is accepted, both nations being former US territory.

Manhattan: Cure research and military development continues. A wall begins being built around where the nation borders OTL New Jersey.

Texas attempts heavy barricades at the borders. Meanwhile, quarantines of infected cities begin. Some western cities are deemed unsalvageable 'Dead Zones', including El Paso and San Angelo, that have been abandoned. Healthy residents of Dead Zones are evacuated and relocated as fast as they can be reached. In November, the President signs a series of laws known as the Anti-Zombie Acts. These laws states that life ends at death and 'undead' creatures are not alive. They also reorganize the Texas Ranger Division, having Companies C and D exclusively hunting down zombies.

United Kingdom: Early warning radar of a British patrol ship within the English Channel detects an unknown vessel of quite a substantial size. Two Avro Vulcans equipped for maritime recon are launched from RAF Valley in Anglesey to intercept. The ship is found to be the HMS Belfast, which has been refurbished to be seaworthy, and is under the control of the rebel faction of London. Fearing that they plan to use HMS Belfast to continue their extremely aggressive behavior, the Prime Minister gives the authorization to sink the ship. Three Avro Vulcans, armed with anti-ship missiles, are launched from RAF Valley under the cover of darkness. They intercept HMS Belfast, firing their anti-ship missiles at the vessel's hull. This causes critical damage to the hull, and as a result the waters of the English Channel begin to flood into the damaged sections. Due to the tactical placement of the strikes, the ship sinks within an hour. News reaches back from London to Anglesey that the rebel faction has torched Buckingham Palace, and has leveled large areas of the city. PM Wilson, furious at this sign of anarchy, declares a show of force is required. High altitude patrol planes sent from RAF Valley discover that all above ground activity for the rebel faction is limited to makeshift fortresses in Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square. This leads the RAF strategists to conclude that the rebel faction has hidden themselves within the city's underground system. Using maps of the London Underground and topographic maps of the city, they conclude where the tunnels are closest to the surface, and as a result, capable of being attacked. Whilst doing this, one of the strategists notices that the distance between the surface and the tunnel  for the line between Charing Cross, the station below Leicester Square, and Waterloo, is thin enough to penetrate with a high explosive charge also. When asked about why this is strategically more important than all the other targets, the strategist replies that it is the line's position, below the Thames, that makes it so important. With this information, a bombing plan is formulated and is launched at the city. The first wave is made up of two Avro Vulcans, launched from RAF Valley, carrying two bunker buster missiles each. They go after the mini fortresses of Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square. The first Avro Vulcan launches its two bunker buster missiles at the fortress in Trafalgar Square and successfully penetrates it, the fortress is destroyed completely only seconds later by the missile's high explosive payload detonating. The second Avro Vulcan launches its two bunker buster missiles at the fortress in Leicester Square, and once again they successfully penetrate the fortress and the high explosive payload destroys the fortress completely. The second wave, which is made up of ten Avro Vulcans, launches bunker buster missiles at the tunnels that had been identified by the RAF strategists, this successfully opens up the London Underground to open air in a significant number of locations. Members of roaming gangs and numerous undead are seen entering these access points across the city, the first to try and raid supplies, and the second due to the unending drive to feast. The third wave is made up of a solitary Avro Vulcan, which drops the high explosive depth charge into the Thames above the underground line on a timer, the exact time for the charge was calculated by one of the strategists at RAF Valley. The depth charge successfully detonates and blows open the underground line, the waters of the Thames are seen to rush in, and within ten minutes the entirety of the central London underground system is completely flooded. Some survivors are seen, by the now patrolling Avro Vulcans, escaping the underground system at outlying stations. However, they are in low numbers and carrying nothing with them, as the majority of London's citizens were located in the underground lines of central London along with nearly all of their resources. British Army troops are airlifted into the military bases around London, and successfully recapture them from the zombie horde. Some of these troops recapture tanks and APCs, and commandeer them. These troops then form a loose perimeter around London. Once in position, royal engineers that are escorting them, build up heavy fortifications, using concrete and bricks from the ruins of London, so as to prevent any escape from London by the rebel faction. This perimeter is reinforced, once the heavy fortifications are complete, with more airlifted troops from RAF Valley. They are given orders to besiege the city, and allow no-one to enter or leave, using deadly force if required. One of the Royal Navy nuclear submarines is moved into the mouth of the Thames, with orders to torpedo and sink any ships attempting to enter or leave the river. Due to the number of members of the British military, and the resources controlled by the United Kingdom, the army is upgraded.

United States: The scorched earth tactics continue throughout the United States Midwest, loosely clearing a deserted area directly west of the Mississippi River. US ground forces begin patrolling the area around St. Louis and down the river side. Basic earthworks are also dug along the river fortifying the US position. The army establishes a screening station in St. Louis and small communities in the infected zone are screened and let into the safe zone. Word spreads of survivors managing to be rescued creating hope among survivors barricaded in the Midwest. Hundreds of hopeful survivalists are now motivated to escape east creating a mass exodus through zombie territory. People from the west begin trickling into US controlled cities, much to the disdain of the existing settlers. Eventually many westerners are forced into leaving the cities, pushing many to become farmers in the Delta. In the north with cooperation from the Canadian government, a northern defense is organized. Canadian forces would push the zombies back past Winnipeg Lake to allow US forces time to reorganize and prepare for a renewed offensive into the heart of the Midwest. Upon hearing of the violence on the British Isles Chief of Staff of the United States Army, William Childs Westmoreland begins organizing a plan with several high ranking commanders of NATO. A small fleet of three dozen ships, containing the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) aircraft carrier, and the battleships the USS Missouri (BB-63) and the USS New Jersey, and a few submarines, is launched from the Atlantic Fleet to the English Channel with the mission of intercepting all hostile ships launched from London. Planes are launched over London to protect English bombers. NATO ground forces are organized in case of a ground invasion being deemed necessary. We also urge all NATO nations to be vigilant and ready for an attack. The Annapolis conference begins to end, with all nations coming to an agreement.
 * Argument moved to talk page.
 * London player, don't try to cross out other players' posts again, especially after a moderator deeming it not implausible. Mscoree (talk) 20:11, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

1970.75
'The siege of London continues. The leader of the London rebels makes a plea to the London people to fight against the English. Many Londoners and local gangs, outraged by the bombing take up arms against the English. The Londoners fortify within the ruins and use their knowledge of the tunnels to secure a good position against ground forces. '

London’s military score raises to 2, while the English military score raises to 1.5. 'The Free Republic of Alaska is victorious at the Battle of Denali and a forward operating base is established at Healy to begin organizing a renewed offensive. '

'American and Canadian forces begin approaching Winnipeg. '

'The French government calls for cooperation from all of west Europe in combating the zombie horde. Spanish and French forces manage to secure most of southern France and continue to fortify the French coast. '

'A roadblock is established at Naples to protect southern Italy. '

'All primary nations (USA, USSR, England, France, China, and the Commonwealth) advance to a military score of 1.5 (if they have not already). '

'Zombies reach the East German border and northern Denmark. Zombies also continue to infect Austria, Northern Italy, Hungary, and the US west coast. Some zombies are also seen near the Colombian border. '

Turkey: Recruitment for the TBRU goes successful, with over 7,000 new recruits in the first three months since its establishment. They have been placed in major cities, and along the border, alongside Greece, and the USSR. The wall surrounding Turkey facing Europe is completed with over 40,000 troops on watch, 3,000 of which include the new Turkish Biological Response Unit. Turkey’s experimental project known as LAMS was a complete success, and the latest prototype shot down three consecutive dummy missiles heading toward it. It will soon be mass produced, and stationed on naval vessels, the border wall, and on radar towers. Joint military exercises have been taken under way with Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, to prepare for the upcoming zombie threat. Turkey has started building prototypes of the new V/J-TOL helicopter. These were manufactured by Turkish Aerospace Industries, and are soon ready to be tested. The TBRU have subdued a live zombie walking alone, near the border wall. By bringing it back in, Turkish scientists have started doing tests on the live creature, and found out it gives off a 50% lower heat signature than humans on the Celsius Scale. Instead of 36.4 degrees Celsius (97.5 degrees Fahrenheit) the average body temperature of a zombie is around 16.7 degrees Celsius (62.06 degrees Fahrenheit). Knowing this means we can create sentry turrets that track, and shoot at targets ranging at 16.7 degrees Celsius. Each turret will consist of Quad .50 Caliber Machine Guns, on a stationary platform. Each sentry is planned to be placed every 400 feet on top of the wall. However they can be re-tuned to fire upon different targets. Land mines have been placed along the border as well. Furthermore, the test subject died four days later, our scientists made up the conclusion that it died of starvation. Only one highway extends into the nation leading to a heavily armed steel gated checkpoint, known as Checkpoint Ingreditur. A new special operations unit knows as the GTFO (Guerrilla Tactical Fighting Operators) has been established. They are highly trained in CQC, (Close Quarters Combat) and are excellent in building clearing, demolition, smoking infantry out of buildings, and guerrilla warfare tactics. Armed with MP10s, they can shred through body armored infantry in a heartbeat. As zombies’ progress closer, special quarantine camps are being established, and built in undisclosed locations. Citizens require weekly check-ups at local clinics. A new alternative of fuel has been discovered as well. Cheaper than oil this bio-fuel runs just as efficient as regular petroleum. 15 acre Algae Farms foundations have been created, and in the next few months this new alternative fuel will be used to power combustion engines, when there is a shortage of oil, and gasoline; and it can also sell at a much cheaper rate. After months of negotiation to sign a government-business contract, Bell Helicopter, and Mercedes Benz have built factories in Turkey, and started producing the new Leopard 2 A5 Main Battle Tank, and Boeing has started to build AH-1 Super Cobras and UH-1N Twin Hueys, within the nation; reducing shipping cost. Another contract has been created to have factories by Sikorsky within the nation’s borders as well. Two new battleships have also left dry-docks, one is known as the TCG Ankara, and the second is known as the TCG Ararat, and they are armed with nine 16-inch cannons, 20 5-inch guns, four upcoming LAMS platforms, eight SAM platforms, four Guided Missile Launchers, with 20 Camera Guided Missiles. Naval Shipyards, and Dry-Docks have also been issued to start producing more upgraded Gearing-Class Destroyers. Ten more have been scheduled to be in the line of duty within the next three months, and are supposed to be armed with SAM platforms, and the LAMS. Turkey is also interested in having a satellite program. Citizens are still having their normal lives with nothing out of the usual. However, high concentrations of zombies have been expected to hit the border wall within six to nine months (two to three turns). Turkey is prepping a medium sized task force to help the United Kingdom take out London, and its ruthless guerrilla fighters. About 5,000 troops, 500 of which are TBRU are being prepped to be sent to the United Kingdom, to help take out London. Five Gearing-Class Destroyers and the TCG Ararat are also being sent to help. Bomber routes have been mapped, and within the next couple months the TAF (Turkish Air Force) will send F-4A Phantom Fighters to Napalm Strike, and bomb the area where the London Guerrilla Fighters are taking shelter. This task force will be sent when the GTFO Special Operations Unit is ready, and NATO gives the word to invade London with joint-military operations. Turkish scientists discovered that there is a material stronger than Kevlar. It is derived out of Nano-Crystals, found in Wood Pulp Extract. Wood Pulp Extract is stronger, cheaper, and lighter than Kevlar, after tests have been taken place with standard AK-47 Assault Rifles. One problem with this though, is that it softens as a reaction to water. FNSS Defense Systems is currently finding out how to make this material waterproof. In the long run, using Wood Pulp Extract, in body armor will save the Turkish economy and estimate of 9,055,001,892.50 Turkish Liras (5,000,000,000 United States Dollars). We also ask Cyprus to have a military alliance, and have the permission to build, military installations on the island for its protection. Turkey also asks Morocco and Spain if we can place naval fortifications in the Strait of Gibraltar, for the protection of Southern European, and Northern African Countries. Turkey still urges Israel for a military alliance.

Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self-Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Japan again offers China a non-aggression pact. Japan also asks Indonesia and the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand for an alliance. Meanwhile Kazutomi Takayama begins making another manga that will be the sequel to Imperishable Night and will again feature Seiga Rokkaku as the main character. A new Shinto Shrine is built in Karafuto Prefecture.
 * British Diplomacy: We thank the Turkish for their aid in our struggle against the rebel faction, but we request that any bombing runs are designed to cause as little damage as possible whilst striking the rebels, and that any land invasion is led by a British commander.

Northwest Federation: The military marches on Kennewick. The city, home to various survivors, is taken in mid-October. Some former residents of the city move back in as the damaged portions of the city are excavated. Interstate 84 is deemed 'safe' as the safe zones move farther east. Zombie sweeps continue. Drawing hordes into open areas before a large number of armed soldiers and tanks open fire becomes a popular method. Meanwhile, in Oregon, the military reaches Bend. The city, like Kennewick, is retaken. Scouts are sent into infested territory. The first scouts to return report Spokane as a completely dead city; a lost cause. Idaho is home to several survivor enclaves, though the former US state is said to be infested. Bay Republic: Plans are made for a colony to be made in southern California, with the Gorge and two other ships: Maelstrom and Vanguard, with these three ships carrying whoever volunteers to leave the Republic mainland, as well as soldiers from the Sentinel, to claim Parsons Landing, which will be used as an outpost and a staging area for the takeover of Los Angeles. Guerrilla fighters are encountered, calling themselves the "New Crusaders," which are a bunch of fundamentalist Christians ignorant of Satanism believing that the Republic is theological Satanist. A new calendar is to be drafted due to the recent apocalypse, with Year One starting around the apocalyptic times, but there are debates on it. A new currency is drafted to eliminate the barter system, using iron coins as the largest unit, followed by bronze then copper, with the US dollar still accepted, with chinks in the system to be worked out in the future. The Sentinels begin training Militia forces who volunteer for full time military service to promote them to sentinel, while the Militia are now used to guard local areas and are ordered by local officers which are ordered by the state. An expeditionary force is to be sent to the Galapagos Islands to try to contact South America, but this is to be in the future, after the colony on Parsons Landing. An actual bear farm springs, with the owners somehow actually getting grizzly bears, which have been extinct in California for almost half a century; due to the fact that grizzly bears were the California state animal it is ordered that these bears can not be used as food, so the farmers begin selling the bears to the militias. Professors at the USF, despite the apocalypse, continue technological developments in the computer. A small ammo factory is opened, though it is not enough to replenish ammo used at this rate, making most dependent of scavenging and reserves for ammo. Much of what was behind by the national guard, whether bomber or tank, are now being utilized by the republic, and amateurs begin making their own troop carriers (basically armored vans) for the militias. Expands east and south.
 * Bay Diplomacy: When things die down a bit would you aid us in a war with Northern California to unify the region?
 * Federation Diplomacy: We should avoid fighting former US territory unless absolutely needed.
 * Bay Diplomacy: It would aid in unifying the former states, and unity is what we need most after the apocalypse.
 * Federation Diplomacy: And unity can be achieved through diplomacy. War with former US territory is not the only way to regain unity.
 * Bay D: Very well, we will try to unify diplomatically.

Saudi Arabia: The Saudis are distributing emergency supply kits to its major cities; Al-Madina, Mecca, Riyadh, and Jeddah. The Arabian armed forces are stationed at borders and major cities. Ports are re-opened, but for a limited time, only accepting trades from allies and exporting oil to allies. We have started building aircraft in the Arabian Desert, the Northrop F-5A/B Freedom Fighter and we recommend Iraq and Iran to help build Naval Vessels in the Persian Gulf. We also recommend Oman to build naval vessels. Yemen, Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar to help build Aircraft as well. Future plans are scheduled to make a National Pact known as the; EHU (Eastern Hemisphere Unity). Saudi Arabia requests Israel to ally with us. We invite Pakistan, Afghanistan, Israel, and Cyprus to the Arab League, soon to be the EHU. We look to see positive future relations and a fair alliance our allies.

Israel: Israel's government has taken their scientists and put them to work on trying to find ways to prevent the zombies from coming into the country. Israel has closed all major ports to the outside world and will only allow people to enter the nation by a screening process. Israel is setting up a relationship with Colt to create new weapons to have bullets that will explode on impact for their lE901-16S. Israel has accepted joining the EHU as it will help with future diplomatic relation, and trade by it's neighboring countries. The Israeli government is for now, setting up a wall around their borders. For their civilians, they have fled to Jerusalem.

Cuba: A radical Catholic cult forms, saying that the zombies are Satan's wrath, and that worship at a church every day and combat of the zombies is necessary, and that the only cure is to kill them all. The new cult/religion is named Desperito, or "the Awakened". The Desperito religion/cult spreads fast in rural Cuba, and spreads closer to Havana. Castro sends the Havana especially into combat with them, even though they showed no violence. Many begin to convert when they see this happening, but many of the more dedicated Catholics support this action. In return, the Desperito, lead by Juan Condez attempts a coup to put in place a theocracy. The Cuban Civil War has begun. Because of this, supplies stop trade with the outside, and focuses on the war.

Commonwealth: Borders are sealed tightly shut. Continues militarization.

​Australia: Continues militarization, borders are kept sealed. Continues development of a nuclear weapon from plans left behind from the cold war.

New Zealand:

​Colombia: The Military is put on a high alert as fears of zombies withing the nation, the Barrier is almost finished when the Zombie battle of Darien starts a conflict between zombies and Colombian troops yielding a narrow Colombian victory over the undead forces. The capitals continue to be fortified especially the capital of the Republic Antioquia and Cartagena, a secondary wall is begun to be built in central Choco and Antioquia to stop any zombie from advancing farther toward the center of the nation. All ports are shut down and the presidents now operate in a heavily important ship nearby San Andres Archipelago.

Cyprus: Cyprus gladly accepts the offer to join the EHU, and also allows Turkey to build military installations on our island. Each citizen is given a breathing apparatus. The government is also giving out MREs, and bottled water for its citizens to stockpile. Riot police patrol the streets in case of a sudden zombie outbreak. All trade to foreign countries are halted, except for those that are allied nations that aren't infected. Screening processes are also taken place in airports and commercial docks. The Cypriot National Guard reserve is also called out to action, resulting in over 80,000 Cypriot National Guardsmen defending the nation.

Philippines: We upgrade the navy into overtime war production.

China: Accepts the non-agression pact and asks Japan to apologize for its atrocities in WW-II, which can then allow Japan and China establish a proper alliance. Thousands of ships were sent to attack Taiwan and 500 thousand troops were depatched. Taiwan was taken over after serious fighting and high casualities after three months. Border quarantines have been established and all people with high fever, number of pain extremities, dementia and numbness were killed on the spot. Major economic areas were stabilized, with large amounts of food, water and weapon reserves were kept in major cities to continue the Communist rule in major cities even after a zombie outbreak. Recruitment begins and the army expands to fight against the new zombie threat. Sniper rifles were mass-produced while the Cultural Revolution ends. Tanks were beginning to be built. A wall surrounding China is beginning to be built and is assumed to be finished in 1972, with 30% of the labour population being sent to build the wall, while 65% were sent to farm and 5% engaging in industrial activities. Tractors were bought from USSR to speed up farming. Joint military exercises have been asked with Japan and USSR, to prepare for the upcoming zombie threat. Asks all nations to build a committee, named IZTCC, or the International Zombie Threat Control Committee, where all nations will share their research to build a zombie vaccine. Machine guns are being sent to border patrols in order to mow down zombies quickly and efficiently. Free Alaska: After Heavy snows begin to blanket the ground, the rebels take the offensive in their daring Valdez Campign. The Denali Regiment led by General William Cote (the leader of the defenders of Healy) starts a major offensive south, with most troops protecting Anchorage. The ports of Valdez and Cordova are taken within two weeks of the beginning of the campiagn. Reinforcements soon come from Anchorage, and attempt to retake the city of Valdez. The Free Alaskans, though shaken, manage to retain a loose hold on the city (for now). Reinforcements come in (mostly from the Yukon regiment, stationed along the Canadian border), as well as elements from the Alaskan Engineering Corps who quickly begin construction on defenses for both cities, which can hopefully be completed before the US-backed troops can regroup for another assault. With the ports securely in their hands, they ask the Bay Republic and the Northwest Federation for a trade deal. The Alaskans are mainly in wheat, and other foods that cannot be produced in large quantities in Alaska. In return, minerals and timber can be shipped, and eventually, oil, once Alaska is united. Chicago: Millitary training, food stocking and zombie virus research continues. Military training is heavily focused on offensive strategy, as we prepare for the First Chicagoan Offensive. Our mission is to push the zombies out of Chicago and the surrounding area. This is the first stage in Operation: Surround and Destroy.
 * Japan Diplomacy: Japan officially apologises to China for the Second World War atrocities, and also hands over Taiwan to China. Japan also accepts the joint military exercises offer.
 * 1) Do algorithm.
 * 2) No nation has EVER had thousands of ships.
 * 3) Japan does not own Taiwan.
 * But in the map, it shows that Taiwan is part of Japan? Or was it a mistake? -Kogasa
 * I believe it became independant after WW-II, I guess the map is a bit flawed unless anyone thinks otherwise Daxus Inferno (talk) 16:21, March 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * That is a mistake on the map. Japan does not own Taiwan. 
 * If that's the case, then Japan having and the  are also a mistake? -Kogasa
 * Bay Diplomacy: Trade accepted.

CSH: As winter approaches, food is being stockpiled. The alliance offer from Canada is accepted. An alliance offer to New England is sent. Guns are bought from Canada for defense. The military is continued to be built up. The fishing industry leads our country. A wall begins to be built along the small western border.

United States: Routine patrolling of the English Channel continues. NATO forces try to establish order in London, engaging rebels along most major roads leading into the city. After numerous bombing runs and reconnaissance missions, strategists conclude that a landing at Brighton would be ideal, as it leads directly to London. Several small regiments of veteran army personnel begin scouting Brighton. Several hundred hand picked soldiers begin drilling in a military base near Washington. Trained in guerrilla warfare using upgraded weapons this experimental task force hopes to become the most experienced anti-zombie force possible. They practice walking in formation to increase head shots, as well as patrolling through urban areas. The first Zombie Response Unit, or ZRU should be ready for active combat by early next year. West of the Appalachians small communities begin opening trade between each other and the US government, working together to form a militia that watches over the Mississippi territory. As local forces take over the main police efforts, the US army focuses more on highways and fortifying the Mississippi River. Farms continue to develop in the Delta and large areas are renovated to facilitate farmland. Cities like Memphis and Vicksburg continue to prosper. Poor, unemployed workers from the west begin providing cheap labor for large plantations, boosting food production. In the north US and Canadian forces establish a forward operations base in Winnipeg after weeks of securing the region. Bombing runs are established between Regina and Reindeer Lake in an effort to surround the zombie horde from the north and prevent them from continuing to Alaska and the rest of Canada. A plan is drafted by generals Maxwell D. Taylor, Abrams, veteran of the Blockade Campaign, and many of the Canadian high command to push farther into zombie territory. Preparations are made for a massive push into the infected zone, using tanks to roll across Saskatchewan (similar to Operation: Desert Storm in OTL) while ground forces take Regina, backed by planes above. The plan is approved and ready to go into effect within five months. Forces from Chicago backed by the US take and hold their position at Peoria and begin waiting for further orders. Florida:The Floridain goverment reastablished its self and works on setting up a heavily fortified border in the north as a way of slowing the flow of any infection coming in from the north. Cuba is asked if they could leave the south of Florida. All major air force and navel bases are improved and Florida military might is strengthened.
 * British Diplomacy: We thank NATO and the United States for their aid in this period. However we would like to request that the British government are put in charge of the NATO task force as we wish to reclaim our capital with a British led attack, rather than that of a foreign state.
 * United States Diplomacy: We agree to allow the English ground forces lead the assault. We will provide support from the English Channel to ensure a swift victory.

'''Cuba does not control any of Florida. Currently the Conch Republic controls Key West. '''

United Kingdom: The Royal Navy bolsters the NATO patrols in the English Channel so to prevent any chance of a retalliation strike by the London rebel faction. Now that the United Kingdom has got the rebel situation in London under control, they look to other areas of the nation. Since the United Kingdom has now been reformed, supplies are airdropped into major Welsh and Northern irish cities, where numerous enclaves of survivors are holding out. This is followed by British paratroopers being dropped into these enclaves, where they aid the survivors in combating the zombie hordes that surround them. With this successful action within the union, the British government puts forward an offer to the area of Brittany to join the United Kingdom, as with nearly all of France ravaged by the zombie horde, and the French government being scattered, the British wish to provide defence for Britanny's citizens, and resurrect the ancestral bond between the two areas. The survivors of the Major English cities begin to expand their borders, reinforcing their defences as they go, until nearly all cities in England have successfully reclaimed their inner city area, with the zombies being pushed to the outlying areas. Due to this show of successful survivor action, the British military begins to recruit troops from major metropolitan areas. With a few hundred troops being taken from each surviving major metropolitan area, over 12,000 troops are recruited. This leads to the British Army being upgraded once again. These 12,000 troops are airlifted over the course of the season by the now substantial number of recovered RAF helicopters to what is now being described as the 'Siege Of London'. They reinforce the perimeter, and due to their numbers, the perimeter has a population greater than the rebel faction of London. Contact is made with the Herefordshire base of the SAS, they report that they have successfully eliminated an estimated 75% of the undead in the county over the course of the year, and saved a huge number of civilians as a result, with many being housed at the base, where grassed areas have been farmed by the large number of farmers in the base population. A number of squadrons are airlifted to RAF Valley in Anglesey, to begin the training of British Army personal there in advanced zombie combat tactics. With support from US fighters, the British bombing campign on London continues, with suspected rebel hideouts being destroyed by Avro Vulcans carrying bunker-buster missiles. Care is taken however to cause minimum damage on the city itself. The plan for the retaking of London continues to be developed, and is improved with the forces of US, NATO and Turkey.

1971
'Londoners hold their position along the M23 and M25 highways which surround the city. They manage to hold the NATO forces back long enough for the city’s defenders to create basic defenses in the rubble and arm the militia for battle.'

'Turkish and American ground forces arrive in the English Channel and are put on standby along the English coast, waiting for the order to attack. '

'Free Alaskans hold their position in the south and begin shipping supplies to the front in preparation for the Alaskan counter offensive. After heavy fighting Valdez is temporarily retaken by the Alaskans, but overstretched they are unable to rebuild a defense. The second half of the Alaskan army marhces along the Alaskan border through the cover of the state forest. The rough terrain causes them to not make it in time to surround the Free Alaskans re-sieging Valdez. The eastern flank makes camp along Highway A1. '

'A coalition of western European forces secure southern France. Refugees escape into Spain where a screening station is established within the fortress city of Andorra la Vella. The Principality of Andorra is converted into a forward operations base for the coalition. A similar base begins to take shape in Toulon, France, a favorite outpost for ground forces and refueling. '

All primary nations (USA, USSR, England, France, China, and the Commonwealth) advance to a military score of 2 (if they have not already).

'The Italians manage to hold the zombies back at Naples, taking heavy casualties, as do the East Germans at their western border. '

Northern Yugoslavia is overrun and the zombies continue to pour into eastern Europe.

The Colombian border is secured, although each day remains a struggle to hold the line.

'A trade ship lands in Caracas, Venezuela, as is routine for the small merchant company. Unknown to them several sailors onboard begin feeling dehydrated and sick. Later that week several hundred in the city of pronounced sick or dying from the tainted supplies onboard. Caracas is considered zombie-ridden later that month. Many speculate that the intense heat of the equator has mutated the virus to be more lethal, yet less detectable in its early stages. This is considered to be the opposite of cooler climates, where the zombies appear to be weakened.'

The Annapolis Conference officially concludes, reaching the following terms: 
 * All nations will make the best efforts to facilitate and support non-infected, civilian refugees. 
 * The use of nuclear weapons is banned. 
 * Striking or invading a nation’s former territory in the name of combating the zombie horde may be deemed an act of war unless given permission from that nation, or in a joint effort alongside that said nation. 
 * In North America the United States, Canada, and their respective remainder states will trap the zombie horde within the Midwest and begin using selective scorched earth tactics to clear the infected zone. 
 * Scientists will continue to research the zombie infection. 
 * The North Yemen Civil War concludes: 
 * The gradual withdrawal of the Egyptian force within a ten-month period. 
 * Cessation of all Saudi help to the royalists. 
 * The formation of a Yemen Congress of fifty, representing all factions, which would be charged with forming a transitional regime and establishing procedures for a national plebiscite to determine Yemen's future government.


 * Japan: Japan continues to build up the Self-Defence Forces and infrastructure is improved. Meanwhile Kazutomi Takayama continues working on the Imperishable Dawn manga, and will have it released later in the year. Few new Shinto Shrines are built. Japan also asks Indonesia, Philippines, and Thailand for trade agreements and alliance.
