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.

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 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.

'''You are the green nation, I think. The Bay Republic is San Fran.'''
 * Australia: Offers to the British 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 strongpoints 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 monthh, 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.
 * Northern California: Makes Eureka into the capital, and defences are placed along all the borders incase of possible zombie hordes. Expansion southward begins in attempts to seize all of California, and the first scouts reach the Bay Area. Vans outfitted with armor plating are filled with soldiers (who are basically refugees with guns, national guard, and police) to clear infected areas. Meanwhile the government asks the Hells Angels to help in the military which they accept. Meanwhile ships are sent out to begin fishing and get the region a stable food supply.  What is the green nation north of me?

I think San Fran is farther south than purple

Did you read the Pre-Apocalypse Timeline?
 * 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.
