Talk:Pandemic: Plague Z (Map Game)/@comment-26031225-20170203145221

World Events
 * Mediterranean Plague: The infected mediterranean waters turned out to be devastating for southern Europe and northern Africa, as the disease spreads into many coastal cities. The water had spreaded the infection to Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and most of the Balkans, with Croatia and Tunisia being particularly affected. Tunis, Zagreb, Tirana, Algiers and dozens of other cities are ravaged by zombies, while Malta becomes the first country to reach an infection rate of 100%, there are literally no survivors. Greece and Spain were not affected by the plague, but chances are that the infection will eventually reach their territory as well. Meanwhile, zombies continue to engulf most of Italy, there are no longer infection-free areas due to the disease being spread to Corsica (ik it's France's but it's still worth mentioning) and Sardinia through the infected water. However, as incredible as it may seem, San Marino and The Vatican have managed to lock themselves down and for now they have prevented the dead from entering their countries, but due to them being isolated their chances of survival are minimal and they will probably fall eventually.
 * The Fall of Germany (and eastern Europe): The fall of Berlin resulted in the creation of millions of zombies, and the effects of this are starting to show up as they begin to coordinate in hordes of a few hundreds, ravaging many villages in western Germany. After months of attacks and new infections, all of Germany is consumed by zombies except for Bavaria, which still manages to survive. Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Belgium also become major infection centres though their goverments are still on foot. The Danish goverment is not as lucky and it collapses, leaving only groups of survivors to sustain themselves. In the east, the infection spreads in a much worse way; polish and czech troops occupying eastern Germany are overwhelmed, causing most of them to die. The few who survived escaped to their countries, bringing the infection with them. Soon the infection spreads through all of Poland and reaches as far as Minsk, in Belarus. Lithuania and Latvia are infected as well and Russia is then forced to build a defensive line along with their allies, while the Balkans are consumed by the disease really quickly, with the survivors consisting of mostly rebel groups and militants (see Ethan's NPCs for more detail). In Scandinavia, zombies coming from Denmark start flocking into Sweden as they were unable to close their borders on time. The Plague eventually infects Oslo and Stockholm, but much of northern Scandinavia remains healthy because of the extreme wather and low population density, Finland remains free of infection as well.
 * Nuclear Zombies: Although the nukes launched by Trump did kill many infected, those who survived and were near the explosion site underwent a mutation process. Mutated zombies are stronger, faster (even able to run) and have enchanced senses that allow them to track down survivors more easily, they are also able to coordinate in groups to attack groups of survivors, a behavior that was also seen in the European outbreak. There is also a chance of more mutations in the future since viruses are constantly changing anyway. The Plague continues its way into southern Africa as countries like Angola and Tanzania are consumed by zombies, by April every country from CAR to South Africa (except for Swaziland and obviously island countries) was infected. In the Horn of Africa, the Ethiopian capital is ravaged by zombies, allowing the disease to spread to Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Sudan (they are very poor and lack defence of their borders so). Another major outbreak occurs in Nigeria and Cameroon, where the mutated zombies make their first attack after overwhelming the cities of Lagos and Yaoundé.
 * Allahu Akbar: It's been nearly 1 year since ISIS was defeated in Iraq and Syria, but the truth is that they never really died completely. In early March, an isolated group of former ISIS militants based on Aleppo perfomed a series of terrorist attacks in retaliation for the defeat of ISIS. The problem is, they didn't make traditional attacks, they made two biological attacks with Plague Z acquired in the black market. They poisoned the water supplies of the cities of Aleppo, Syria and Mosul, Iraq. They confessed their actions on a livestream that went viral on the internet and then proceeded to inmolate themselves. The goverments of the two countries inmediately cutted off the water supplies, but it was too late, many civilians had already drinked the poisoned water. There was a massive outbreak in the two countries, and the disease also spread to Kurdistan and Kuwait. Weeks later, Hamas militants attempted a similar attack on Tel Aviv, but they were stopped by Israeli authorities before they could do anything.
 * The Black Market: The outbreak in South Africa is brutal and it expands really quickly through Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and South Africa itself. The only areas in southern Africa that are not infected are Swaziland, souther Mozambique and an small portionof northeast South Africa. Meanwhile the Pakistani goverment finally finds out about the outbreak in Karachi and inmediately send troops to try to contain it. India closes its borders with Pakistan, but it was already too late. Due to the silent and careful nature of this particular strain (it takes longer to kill people/turn them into zombies and its symptons are less aggresive in the early and middle stages), the virus had managed to spread into India without being noticed due to a man from Pakistan visiting his family in the state of Gujarat. Gujarat is now suffering a widespread outbreak of Plague Z and the first cases are reported in Kolkata, New Delhi and Hyderabad after locals from Gujarat took planes to those cities, again, without being noticed.
 * Islands don't have an advantage: The outbreak in Denpasar spreads to Java and the rest of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Jakarta is ravaged by zombies, but the disease doesn't spreads to the other main Indonesian islands, the goverment managed to escape to Banda Aceh, in Sumatra, before Jakarta was destroyed. Thousands of refugees from Java attempt to escape to Australia in boats (player must decide what to do with them). In Philippines, the disease easily spreads through all of the southern Philippines thanks to the generalized turmoil.
 * The New World: Because of Brazil's big landmass the spreading of the Plague is really slow and even though the city of Florianópolis (which is near Sao Paulo) was also ravaged by zombies the goverment keeps saying that the Plague has been contained within those two cities, after a "sanitary barrier" was implemented in the region. However in late March another attack by an angolan refugee occured in Rio de Janeiro, once again infecting the whole city. The goverment has decided to not fight against the separatists in the west and instead pours all of their resources in containing the disease, with little success.
