United States of America
 * Government
 * Zalgogate: On 4th April, someone publicly published at least 62 documents on Wikileaks (they're mostly sightings and attacks lost and deleted after being documented by the CIA, few of which contain basic information of Zalgos). As cases were becoming hard to remove or have the population know in some way, even making to the large cable television news channels such as CNN, Fox News and local news channels even, then suddenly it caught the eye of the CIA and multiple agents after files were spotted online on Wikileaks. The man only known as Christopher was known to be in contact with the President pleaded guilty after being arrested trying to get into the airport and escaping to an undefined location. He said that the President gave him files of the Zalgo which were taken down after one day being present on that site then all copies of the document were burnt so that none can reproduce these files. The Zalgogate begun with a threatened impeachment process to President Hughes who Christopher claimed he was in contact with him. Hughes denied any process and said that he's away for one day to meet his daughter but there's more to that (for the rest of the story, see Impeachment Vote). Publicly however, the bizarre leaked documents went onto the Dark Web as one of the anonymous users hacked the firewall of the Wikileaks website and downloaded all files regarded to the Zalgo sightings and attacks. He used an onion router to cloak his own location (so no-one knows where he lived) and uploaded it to many sites of the Dark Web. What will happen next is unknown but the Dark Web is known to be difficult to take down even if a Zalgo document went unnoticed.
 * Impeachment Vote: With the turn of events suddenly unfolded on the second quarter of 2029, impeachment is now being threatened and approved by both parties (due to him taking things too far) after government leaks were shown. The Congress decides that both the Senate and the House of Representatives will vote whether Hughes should be removed from his position after trying to leak files to the public and since most of the files are in the Dark Web, they could be used literally everywhere and be uploaded onto where everyone can access it. This will happen by the next quarter. Publicly, Hughes was threatened to be impeached following corruption by bribing officials to do what he wanted and was given house arrest, along with his family. That was the half of the story.
 * Censorship: Censorship is starting to adversely affecting the free press despite multiple constant fear of panic. After Wikileaks published the Zalgo documents and then taken down a day after, it seems that the mainstream media went into a frenzy of these releases, unauthorised but a sensation and many began to protest as soon as the Zalgogate began to develop April 2029, mainly conspiracists and those who believe the Zalgo are real and had constantly tried to spread word (they are mostly arrested by the way). Panic is coming and soon America might fall. America may have already fallen. With Hughes' power handed over to VP Marco Rubio until his impeachment process is either complete and that the Congress voted narrowly against possible impeachment, he wasn't able to stop censorship by agents and government officials anytime soon after making a big intentional mistake.
 * The 29th Amendment: Money in politics, also known as corruption using the power of currency and wealth. Although this was brought up by the Democrats very recently (even Bernie Sanders back in 2016 had tried to bring the problem into the primaries), the 29th Amendment (or the Amendment against Wealth Corruption) was close to becoming passed with few more states are yet to eradicate corporal lobbying or at least three-fourths of all US states since 2025. If it comes into effect, this means wealthy figures and companies would not be allowed to influence any held elections.
 * Military
 * Intervention: With some files leaked, the ZCP and elite personnel have decided the best way to handle these leaks was to ground their forces' operation for seven days prior to Zalgogate, constantly once being a big task has now being a failure thanks to files being leaked out to the public over a president who made popular promises. Once their grounded oeriod is over, they decided to do the cases fiercely more than ever, using force to civilians if they refuse to get back.
 * Operation Griffin: This operation would prevent further Zalgos from crossing borders on Canadian and Mexican soil despite both now having common sightings. It also focuses secretly on Canada as well to capture Zalgos by themselves, raising suspicion within the Canadian government and personnel who are authorised to believe the Zalgo had existed.
 * West Coast Cases: Common sightings in the United States had led to few thousand members of the ZCP operate in virtally every state, even in Alaska and Mexico, which are far fringed states but with Canada having unusual sightings, there's a big chance that the Zalgo would reach onto the state of Alaska. The ZCP in mainland United States are also ordered to capture some Zalgos alive in a cage, a more secure one. Their movements are unpredictable but if they were to get one out successfully, this would mean a big game changer. So far they caught nothing.
 * Watching Korea: Nuclear tensions decline although backup measures are conducted in ensuring that the Korean government doesn't commit "xenophobic behaviours".
 * Research: Three bodies are now a priority rather than one.
 * Subject #1 (Yuri Watney): Watney is still being kept away after nine months of decomposition and tests. Now they want to wait if there's external mutation that the pathogen produces even if the corpse of Watney still lies around and become discoloured every month that passes by.
 * Subject #18 (Zac Golding): The subject here is kept for similar purposes.
 * Subject #21 (Morris [REDACTED]): Same here and is freshly new. Subject #21 is studied by cutting up the body into parts, the liquid itself collected into secure containers, while extracting the brain out carefully in one autopsy. The brain will be studied if there's any changes prior to infection.
 * Liquid: Three controlled corpses, including Yuri Watney are being tested of their liquid by extracting some of remaining ones inside the body carefully. Scientists had presumed it was mutated blood after being extracted. They search for that liquid if there's a presence of a pathogen. Since Yuri's corpse decays even further and the two other subjects are three months old and killed recently respectively, they want to compare how will black liquid change after they have died and if there's significant difference to it. They also tested some of that liquid by attempting to burn the liquid, if it has any material properties or if it assimilates other liquids like water. Results will come the next quarter.
 * Other subjects: With a successful test indicating that bodies that had being burnt of to get rid of the pathogen might not survive in most cases with exception of some surviving still after being burnt. More bodies that were captured are also being instead of cremating it, they decide to turn up the temperature in a concealed room higher than normal temperatures and see if the virus also dies if it isn't cremated. Their next goal is to capture some Zalgo samples alive rather than testing on dead samples, but many researchs claim they'll sprawl out of control, so they had to make sure that they capture it in a cage, be placed with a thick layer of lead and various chambers, enough to make it not escape.
 * Economy: It was once stagnant, now it's starting to slide down.
 * Diplomacy
 * Korea: Even under a temporary Rubio administration, they will still hold nuclear weapons until the US is indeed confident they don't become "haywired" to fake threats. Only diplomatic relationships are restored.
