United States of America
 * Government
 * Marco Rubio was elected as President again at this stage. Nothing important is announced but the remaining Senators and Representatives that fled out of mainland United States have confirmed this.
 * Alaska: Alaska is being slowly becoming a military base and fortress should Zalgos ever penetrate the temporary winter that is setting in on 2032. The government and all research operations will be held there, while the Martian base set up by NASA and the ZCP will continue as long they are alive and well by establishing farms.
 * Military: The military secretly became a branch of the ZCP in a sudden move. Now their main job is to kill every single Zalgo on sight approaching towards Canada or those that had suspected on sightings. Bombers are also deployed to bombard areas that are heavily infested with this threat.
 * Economy: The economy collapsed with only self-sustaining methods being the highest priority. No-one cares about trade at this point.
 * Research
 * Martian Base Operations: All Zalgos are being expelled out into the natural Martian atmosphere after similar observations happened on Alaska for instance.
 * Theoretical Second Lander: The industry of Alaska was not made for a second lander and we don't have access to Cape Canaveral now. It seems that a theoretical second lander for Mars may be far-fetched by now and that the Martian base would be all that remains of the US influence that might expand over many years. Thus all of the five crew pledged allegiance to the US government with a purpose to keep the old order running for few decades. Inbreeding is also unusually encouraged since there are also about almost a half of females, but effects of this are yet to observe but this was restricted so far due to presence of Zalgos.
 * The Purge: It seems that these Zalgos are undergoing a purge indeed which might be a second and alternative option to wipe them out temporarily, which is why the US government had effectively fled to the northern fringe region of Alaska. They could potentially survive for about few years at this climate but due to the lack of better efficient farming technique and a small-scale makeshift hydroponic farm that won't feed the hundred thousands of incoming refugees, the Purge is only the way to keep them off and guns to slow down their advance into the remains of the US government.
 * Sharks: Four years ago, there were unusual events of sharks being aggressively appearing out of nowhere as the Zalgo events were being made. After shark culling was heavily used, the ZCP began to revisit the topic of these unusual activities and see if they have already changed already after about four years since these sightings were recorded and if they were a hoax or even Zalgos themselves at some degree.
