Patient (Map Game)

Welcome to Patient, an apocalyptic map game.

It was just a simple exploration mission. Something was brought back, it triggered something beneath us. People are going crazy, empty shadowed eyes and corrupted smiles as the dark aura surrounds them - looking for its next victim. Would 2028 be the beginning of the end?

Plot
'''The plot is the overarching story in the map game. As the game progresses, more and more of the story will be revealed. Sometimes, crucial information will be redacted. It will be up to the players to piece together the puzzle. Solving the redacted information per paragraph will add 5% bonus to the global cure status. Every bit of information could be important to understand the infection and therefore will lead to the cure. Remember: this is optional.'''

In the year 2021, the major independent space agencies had gathered together to form a conglomerate called Stellar Core. In late 2023, the conglomerate approved a mission to build the first manned spaceship to Mars using this drive after finding data of possible storage of wealth of information from a previous mission. On 2025, the first manned flight to Mars was successful after the ship Opportunity landed on Mars. During the first few months after landing, the crew established a small mining operation. Things were going well, but a small incident occured when [REDACTED] had mysteriously dissappeared when trying to explore deeper into the mining cave. A rescue team had found [REDACTED], unconscious but breathing. Notable damages were reported around the glass visor. After being fixed up, the crew had detected no problem with the body asides from a minor concussion. By 2026, the crew had finished up and were sent home. [REDACTED] had reported [REDACTED] but through medical analyzation, there was no detection of any known contagions.

Concerns about ancient viruses being unleashed through the thawing of Siberian permafrost are common in most debates on healthcare, as well as UN and WHO conferences.

Samples of Martian soil and water indicate signs that primordial life once inhabited Mars, and quite possibly vertebrates, or something of a similar biological structure.

Tyler Enterprises propose an alternative to other energy sources, which is the utilization of the glowing Martian rocks charmingly called, "Glowstone".

Republic of Kazakhstan

 * Backstory: Nursultan Nazarbayev died on 11 December 2020, and an interregnum started due to several people wanting to succeed him. Eventually, Bakhytzhan Sagintayev won the fight and became president. However, people started getting unhappy, and on 1 February 2028, massive protests started in Astana, which quickly spread all over the country. Sagintayev was forced to resign on 29 February, and a new government, with Azat Peruashev of Ak Zhol Democratic Party becoming the new president. Peruashev drove Kazachstan in a more liberal way, and on a referendum held on 2 April, a new constitution and a new flag were proposed.
 * Government: A presidential republic lead by Azat Peruashev.
 * Military:
 * Active Personnel: 37,000
 * Non-active Personnel: 34,000
 * Army Personnel: 20,000
 * Navy Personnel: 3,000
 * Airplanes: 12,000
 * Ministry of Defence Personnel: 4,000
 * Paramilitary Personel: 31,000
 * Economy: Kazakhstan is currently recovering from an economic crisis.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Russian Federation: Greetings my dear, would you like an alliance? We could all benefit from it, don't you think?
 * Mongolia: Mongolia, my nomadic friend! Don't you feel trapped between two huge nations? Don't you feel poor because you have nothing but sand? Don't worry! You just have to ask for an alliance and everything will be fine! I promise. Have I ever broken a promise?
 * India: India, my southern friend! Would you care about improving our relations?

Federative Republic of Brazil

 * Government: 
 * Jair Bolsonaro is the president of Brazil for ten years by 2028. Due to a constitutional amendment approved by the congress in 2025, presidents can run for more than two terms if their approval is above 40%, which allowed Bolsonaro to be elected again in 2026. However, his popularity declined during his third term, as he alledgely manipulates approval researches to keep his approval above 40%. Also, the ideals that got him elected in 2018 and reelected in 2022 are now considered obsolete, rising the suspicion on electoral fraud. Even with his public support declining, he still holds a large part of the congress and can govern with no political problems.


 * Military: 
 * The Brazilian Armed Forces were reestructured and improved during Bolsonaro's rule. By 2028, around 2.5 million men are in reserve due to Brazil's mandatory draft system, while 400,000 are deployed in border patrol, anti-deforestation operations in the Amazon and Cerrado, garrisoning and abroad humanitary missions.
 * The Air Force is currently engaged in extensively patrolling the Amazon Rainforest, as big farmers keep expanding their farms into the forest. It's also cooperating with the Army to identify and shoot down aircraft used in drugs and weapons traffic. The use of airplanes to transport illegal material increased in the last years, since they can't be stopped in roads like trucks and cars.
 * The Air Force also seeks to increase its helicopter fleet to help in these missions. The Navy is building it's own aircraft carrier to patrol the coast, but due to lack of funds the project is currently frozen. Instead, the Navy is investing on expanding the Marine Corps for better border patrol and operations against illegal actions in the Amazon.


 * Economy: 
 * The brazilian GDP remains stable at around US$ 3B. The economy mostly depends on agropecuary exportations, but investments in education during Bolsonaro's rule increased the country's technology development sector. By 2028, the electronics industry is starting to become relevant, supplying the national industry with brazilian-made modern machinery. The sector is expected to become important within the next decade.


 * Diplomacy: Nothing yet.

Republic of France

 * Backstory: Emmanuel Macron was punished from being president of France due to being a myriad scandal during his presidency years. Édouard Philippe was the former prime minister, and became the president of France now, with Jacques Philippe being chosen by Philippe, his brother to be Prime Minister of the French.
 * Government: Is a Semi presidental Republic owned by Édouard Philippe, the new president, and Jacques Philippe, the new prime minister of France. Due to Macron's behavior during is term, he has been impeached by the head of government! The government head is now head of state since head of state is a president always and head of government is the prime minister.

Sultanate of Oman

 * Government: It is an absolute monarchy witha parliament. Sultan Qaboos is the Sultan of Oman and his health is now failing at the age of 87, leaving major uncertainty on who will be the next Sultan.
 * Southern Political Unrest: With Sultan Qaboos becoming ill and his health is fading away in the late 2020s, southern Oman is seeing a spike in demand of a republican government to take place of an old monarchy. Riots in the city of Salalah are also reported on February 2028 and things are going a bit downhill at this point, with Oman pulled into a brink of a civil war due to it's political isolation.
 * Era of Political Isolation (mid 2020s-present): Politics is dividing Oman up with international affairs and the Sultan itself in its recent years has increasingly decided to move away from intervening in almost everything (which contradicts a lot of stuff made by Manto) in most relationships, but they remain having a lot of trade with other nations internationally to keep themselves afloat until the start of 2028 where Qaboos decided to announce something really weird during his final years of his life.
 * Government Establishes Companies: A bizarre announcement on March is that Sultan Qaboos has decided with the parliament to build and set up multiple companies that would develop military equipment for Oman but most of the plans and concepts for the next five years aren't going into the public for "security purposes" as Qaboos repeated.
 * Debate on Military: Sultan Qaboos insists that the military must be ramped up for "security purposes" (once again), believing that the unrest in the south should be dealt with carefully. However some military advisors are against the decision of increasing their personnel due to the risk of the nation being transitioned into a police state over repeated riots in the southern part of Oman but Qaboos is dying, so he did not have a choice.
 * Military:
 * Military Ramping Project (Act of 1-2028-1): In order to sustain the final wishes of Sultan Qaboo, the parliament had passed the Military Ramping Project, which makes Oman relegalise conscription with a three year draft for every man starting from the age of 18 to 30. The government-established companies will also work for the government to invest heavily in military technology and equipment to improve the quality of the military and also reduce reliance over other nations to import their own weapons and equipment.
 * Overall military: (Will do so later)
 * Economy: Sultan Qaboos wants self-reliance to the economy of Oman (unexpectedly) and also expand the military on his final years, which is part of an ongoing political isolation.
 * Urban Development Program (Act of 1-2028-2): The Urban Development Program established in January 2028 states that the nation of Oman should start investing on better infrastructure, especially towards remote settlements and underdeveloped areas that have been left abandoned for few years. It'll comply to a ten year plan so that it goes all in according to plan, although this was slightly delayed due to ongoing riots.
 * Self-Reliance Act (Act of 1-2028-3): Sultan Qaboos and with the parliament insisted that all people should work for something in order to be earned of something.
 * Diplomacy: EthanKoenigsberg is a shy person so #MantoFail2.0 (and you know why)

 * Diplomacy:
 * Democratic Republic of the Congo: We will send you 300,000$ in funding for curing ebola.

United Kingdom

 * Goverment
 * Aftermath of the 2027 Elections
 * Despite Labour expanding substantially in the last decade, the Tories won substantial support as their coalition government after the elections of 2022 achieved to re-estructure the British economy after a major recession after officially leaving the European Union. With this, the Tories achieved a majority victory in 2027, and need no coalition to govern as they wish.
 * Economy
 * The economy,Years after the EU: After the UK's exit of the European Union in 2021, investment in the country decreased further, and the British economy saw a recession and further devaluation of the Sterling. After the election of 2022, the Tories established a coalition government with the DUP, and surprisingly enough, their steadfast inner market reforms put the economy out of the recession and back to healthy growth.
 * The 2018 Budget : Although mostly normal, the UK's Defence budget on 2018 is 2.3% of the GDP.
 * Military
 * British Army
 * 75.000 Regular Army
 * 30.000 Reserve Army
 * RAF
 * 30.000 Active Personnel
 * 890 Operational Aircraft
 * Royal Navy
 * 30.000 Regular
 * The UK's Power Projection: With the deployment of the HMS Queen Elizabeth and the HMS Prince of Wales, armed with modern F-35s, Britain can now protect it's lands better than anytime before.
 * The 2025 Act Finalizes : in 2025, Parliament approved a bill saying that all British troops in non-NATO nations would be withdrawn, including humanitarian aid. This act was criticized by many as selfish, but nevertheless, the troops once abroad are now stationed not in the home islands, but mostly in British overseas territories.
 * Diplomacy: The United Kingdom does not have any diplomatic missions for Q1.

Kingdom of Spain

 * 2028 elections: Over the last four years, the Citizens' party has governed the nation in coalition with the conservative People's Party. Their political force was confirmed on March 1st's elections, with Inés Arrimadas (the leader of Citizens') securing a majority once again. In the past decade, Arrimadas had managed to defeat the independentist bloc in Catalonia, earning her huge support across the entire country. Meanwhile, the radical left coalition lead by coalition made huge gains, however, they were still far away from a majority as they refused to negotiate with the more moderate PSOE.
 * Results:
 * Citizens (C's): 37.51% - 158 seats (+3)
 * United We Can (Podemos-IU): 29.88% - 99 seats (+37)
 * People's Party (PP): 14.02% - 45 seats (-9)
 * Spanish Socialist Laborist Party (PSOE): 12.19% - 37 seats (-25)
 * Together for Catalonia (JxCat): 3.27% - 11 seats (+1)
 * Catalonian Republican Left (ERC): 0.53% - 0 seats (-7)
 * Other parties: 1.76% - 0 seats (*)
 * Invalid votes: 0.84%
 * Government: Arrimadas' government has taken a more isolationist stance on international affairs (without completely ignoring the EU), advocating for a non-intervention policy. Although it is expected to remain this way, the recent surge of infectious diseases, as well as the actions of our neighboors, are isuess that will need to be deal with.
 * Epidemiological alerts: A travel warning is issued for Bolivia, the DRC, South Africa and Lesotho due to the recent surge of outbreaks of infectious diseases within their borders. There are no restrictions for people traveling to South Africa, Bolivia or Lesotho, but high security measures are taken for those travelling to the DRC. People travelling to the DRC are required to get a shot of the Ebolavirus vaccine, and if anyone travelling from the DRC to Spain shows symptons of the disease, they undergo a series of medical tests to make sure they are not infected by Ebola.
 * Research and medicine: Although some sectors had urged the government to take action against emergent infectious disease (Ebola, yellow fever and those Siberian viruses), Arrimadas' isolationist stance has resulted in no major actions for now. However, some additional funding is given to medical research centers.
 * Terrorism: During the Islamic State crisis in the past decade, a series of policies had been enacted to grant the military additional powers during events considered as "national emergencies". This protocol was known as "the Córdoba plan" and it was criticized back in the day, although the constant threat of islamic terrorist attacks was given as an excuse to keep it (see the Barcelona 2017 attacks). Among other things, the military had also received additional funding, in order to train recruits on how to deal with terrorist threats. Nowadays the plan is still active, but more and more voices are calling for it to end as the threat of terrorism fades. Nevertheless, Arrimadas has decided to keep the status quo for the meantime.
 * Military: The military is not expanded.
 * Economy: The economy has managed to stabilize to a certain point although there is still an unemployment problem. The government has been looking for ways to solve it, but nothing concrete has been done yet.
 * Diplomacy: No relevant diplomacy is done for now.

Republic of South Africa

 * Government: South Africa is currently a democracy ran by Cyril Ramaphosa of the African National Congress Party which is a Social Democratic Party. The current party
 * History: South Africa was in a weird political situation back in 2016/2017 until the ANC National convention happened in January 2018 (it happened late) the reformist bloc of the party emerged victorious from the convention gaining the main spot in the ANC party for the 2019 election, which they eventually won. Under the reformist wing the economy has surged with massive development happening inside the country, with new roads and towns being built with the desert in the north being mostly industrial now. Also under the reformists most political tension has died down as they “United” the party and most other political parties in the country are small.
 * Policies
 * Combating HIV: While the case in our country is just minor, the government is still worried about its potential growth inside the country. The first action was to start awareness campaigns for people to get checked for HIV and the second was to lower the prices of condoms.

2028 Q2
Mongolia is now a Kazakh ally.

The United States does not respond to the Korean request for 10,000 soldiers as it does not see the need to militarize the region.

'''Protests occur all over France over the economic state and corruption within the government. In addition, the EU has expelled France from the Eurozone program until their economy recovers.'''

None of the nations respond to France, due to the fact that the requests are random and have no apparent justification.

Japan reminds Korea that their alliance from the Korean War in 2021 still stands, but agrees to improving relations.

The Kingdom of Norway has been criticised by the Russian government, which calls the Russo-Norwegian wall an unnecessary element that is seen as a diplomatic barrier.

Please be reminded that any attempt to cure a disease would follow the cure path in order to have any effect in the map game.

'''An antiviral drugs for Ebola is released by WHO and deployed in the DRC. However, it is not particularly successful, only curing 8% of the infected.'''

 * Democratic Republic of the Congo: Since the cure didn't go well, we've decided to work on it in our own country.

Sultanate of Oman (former) | Omani Republic (post-revolution)

 * Government
 * Death of the Sultan: On 6th May 2028, Sultan Qaboos had officially passed away from natural causes after making his final wishes to begin manufacturing and develop new technologies domestically in Oman rather than relying on other nations to export. This is an extremely ambitious project that Qaboos is looking out for, but after the announcement, the protests and riots from south Oman eventually spread to the whole nation as uncertainty is about to approach Oman for one more month for who will be the successor of the Omani throne.
 * Omani Revolution (June 2028): The Omani Revolution took place on June, where many republicans clashed with the government before some sections of the Omani military began to turn over as the government continues to find trouble for a successor. They also forced the parliament to start transitioning Oman into a republican state by mid-June by implementing huge changes to the government constitutionally. It's expected until the end of 2028 that the government will finally settle on what constitution they already had in the works.
 * Secularisation Act (Act of 2-2028-1): Quickly the Republic pushed towards secularising all of a person's aspect of life, while Sharia law applied to daily basis is being slowly phased out, which is deem unpopular to many conservative Muslims that exist in Oman while moderate Muslims had partially criticised to condemn some decisions that they were to make.
 * Military
 * Military Ramping Project: The project continues on even in a post-Sultan Oman.
 * State-controlled Company Development Act (Act of 2-2028-2): Oman considers to push for a priority in full development on all tate controlled military companies on specific equipment as part of the ongoing ten year goal set out by Qaboos, although some of his programs were cancelled in some manner, the reason for military expansion didn't.
 * Economy: Self-reliance and political isolation had gone too far for Oman and after the revolution, the Republic decided to close borders to some nations that are "at great risk of epidemics" and do nothing else.
 * Urban Development Program (2028-ongoing): There were setbacks from developing infrastructure once again due to property damage, with all resources headed to secure their own borders and developing military equipment as part of the ten year plan but improving the infrastructure of Oman would require an economic improval in order to further develop and fund other projects, so the ten year plan didn't actually fail at least.
 * Border Control Tightened: Countries that are infected with Ebola, which is only confined to the DRC are closed down effectively although since Oman has little contact with the DRC, it could be easily ignored as a "fad". No funding is dedicated to Ebola at that time.
 * Research: Oman is mostly dedicated to military research at this time.
 * Diplomacy:
 * France: nice meme

 * Government:
 * Not much changes. Bolsonaro's approval drops from 61% to 56%, so he asks the people to express their complains through anonymous messages, letters and e-mails. After a month collecting the opinions and discarting spam and troll messages, the government separates the most cited issues:

 * Too high wages for politicians
 * Public hospitals facing lack of equipment
 * Increase of urban violence
 * Unfulfillment of Bolsonaro's campaign promise of lowering gun control.
 * The congress was called for an assembly to solve the issues. So far, the following solutions were accepted:
 * Increasing the minimum wage for teachers to five minimum wages.
 * Removal of most privileges to politicians (This point met resistance from the congress, but public pressure made them accept)
 * Lower taxes to medical supplies for hospitals
 * Diminishment of bureocracy to own handguns and slight reduction of their prices.
 * Military:
 * The Air Force and the Navy, with the newly expanded helicopter fleet and Marine Corps, intensify anti-traffic missions in the Amazon Rainforest. A new gunship helicopter is used for the first time in a small engagement with heavily armed loggers in the state of Tocantins. One marine was injured and three out of six illegal loggers died, and the remaining were arrested. One of the dead was a french citzen fleeing from the chaos in France.
 * An infantry battalion is deployed at the state of Amapá to protect the borders and probably restore order in French Guiana, in case the political trumoil escalates to a war and spreads to the region.
 * Economy:
 * New machinery and basic electronic factories open in Brazil, most going to the South and Southeast region due to the high concentration of qualified manpower.
 * New solar usines are built in the centre of the Northeast, since the region is dry and rarely has clouds to disrupt the usine efficiency. The government aims to create jobs and solve the region's poverty caused by the drought.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Brazil purchases 12 transport helicopters and 3 Eurocopter attack helicopters from France. Despite the trade, the government declared neutrality in France's political crisis.
 * Brazilian medics and soldiers go to poor regions of Bolivia to inform local populations about prevention against yellow fever and to vaccine the unvaccined people. The government also sells 300,000 vaccines to Bolivia for its own vaccination campaign.
 * The Ministry of Health issues a note requiring travellers from the DRC to show documents proving they're not infected with ebola. Travelling to the country is discouraged, although not forbidden.
 * The Navy is looking for foreign funding to finish its aircraft carrier and to purchase a carrier-capable multirole fighter fleet.

United Kingdom

 * Government
 * Public Healthcare institutions are inspected by government officials.
 * The Channel Tunnel is closed due to the turmoil in France.
 * No new policies are taken by the British government.
 * Military
 * [same stats as last quarter]
 * Due to the turmoil in France, the Guernsey and Jersey islands are reinforced.
 * Gibraltar is reinforced.
 * Economy
 * The fall of fossil energy in the United Kingdom: Shortly before the UK left the European Union, the British government made a huge investment in renewable energy, mostly in the form of wind turbines in the Scottish Highlands. The long-term economic profit has started to take a possitive effect on the cost of British electricity, as the turbines that once caused debt now power the country for way cheaper.
 * Diplomacy
 * France: All diplomatic missions to France are ceased until the nation stabilizes.

2028 Q3
''' A transition of power occurs in France that is overseen by the UN, EU and NATO. Former President Édouard Philippe is impeached following the corruption scandal invo and his seizure of power. The new President, Jaune Arche, is installed, and promises to lead France out of the pit Philippe threw the nation into. '''

''' The media-dubbed "Zalgo Outbreak" is not perceived as actual news in some parts of the world. Critics know it by "What Could Be The Biggest Meme Of All". '''

''' Shark attacks increased this month. Weird. '''

''' Zalgo sightings, having been called so by the media (again), are mostly prevalent in areas near the Gulf of Mexico, however there has been isolated sightings in Missouri, Jamaica and Panama. '''

''' Police are still on the search for Yuri Watney, and encourage residents to come forward if they have information on her whereabouts. '''

''' The Nordic Scientific Pact receives the green light from Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Norway has been unresponsive. '''

''' Critics in Iceland question the purpose of bunkers. '''

''' Media outlets in the US and Mexico publish articles on "the Zalgo Attacks", involving a case on ongoing domestic violence. Video footage of the "Zalgo People", or simply "Zalgo", exhibit what seems to be insanity within them, laughing while "flipping out" (media said it ok?). Some videos showed the Zalgos crying black tears or having black fluid dripping out of their mouths. One instance had a suspected Zalgo looking at the camera down a hallway, oozing black fluid out of her eyes and mouth. '''

United States of America

 * Government: John Delaney is the current President of the United States since January 2025 and is a Democrat. (Again, I don't know why I keep reelecting Trump as president in 2020 even though he's most likely to lose probably and I have an arbitrary mind)
 * Upcoming 2028 Elections: Republican presidential candidate Rob Hughes (totally not a real person because it's ten years from now) began running a populist campaign starting July 2028 to "shut the Zalgo out" by investing heavily in military and imposing curfew and martial law onto the United States. In the polls however, the Republican candidate had gone up significantly as some of the US citizens hearing the news "are becoming more and more sensitive to the event". No-one knows how he obtained it or where did he hear it, but government officials decided to arrest him on October after becoming quite insane in his rally on late October before being suddenly released on the next day coming out clean but his message still continues oddly.
 * Censorship: All authorities are issued with an arrest warrant to those who are trying to get their hands on confidential information on the Internet or on any other sources related to the "Zalgo incidents" in the Gulf of Mexico or any isolated cases in the US. Censorship is ramped and agencies such as the CIA began taking down articles that host their websites on US servers or are dependnt on it and thus they would be able to curb the potential panic happening.
 * Regarding about pertussis/whooping cough: A batchload of vaccines are sent to those who have the whooping cough, especially in children, numbering hundred thousands in the localised area. Those families who refuse a vaccine for "health reasons" (i.e. allergies to any content inside) are being left behind but controversially those who refuse to be vaccined for "other reasons" are being apprehanded controversially.
 * Military
 * Intervention: The US military approved by the government began sending out thousands of troops of these alleged sighting, along with agents in covering any event that is sighted and declaring it a hoax to the public to not ease fear. Many police and agents around in southwest US are also questioning where Yuri Watney was including witnesses to friends/family before covering the act as well and not provide information to the whole press (although some had tried to publish something related to this). With unusual rise of shark attacks in the Gulf of Mexico, local authorities in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi issue shark culling and "kill shots", which is controversial to many animal rights activists and also critical but these unusual attacks must be apprehanded in order for it to come down. While those in the East Coast and West Coast decided to do nothing.
 * Economy: Still strong but panics that are incurred by hoaxes have led to a slight dip in stock markets.
 * Research: Nothing. Unless you consider the hoax as research for authorities as it is technically but no progress is actually being made.
 * Diplomacy: Don't know. In international conditions, many CIA agents ask authorities around Latin America especially the Mexican government to crack down those who publish anything related to the Zalgo incidents and to keep everything secure.

Federative Republic of Brazil

 * Government:
 * The Zalgo stories start to create fear and panic among some people. The president, Jair Bolsonaro, makes a public statement telling people everything is under control, and that it poses no threat to Brazil or anyone else in the world, as it's most likely a joke being taken too far.
 * Military:
 * The Armed Forces conduce a joint exercise in the coast of the state of Pará, simulating a large scale guerrilla invasion in the Amazon Rainforest based on the Operation Traíra (which took place in 1991).
 * Navy Admiral Gregório Constantino travels to the US, along with other high-ranking officers, to debate the expansion of the brazilian navy and military partnerships.
 * Economy:
 * The technology development sector continues to grow. Highly educated adults from other south american nations start to see opportunities in Brazil. The government incentivates such attitudes, seeking to grow the sector even more.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Travellers from DRC, Republic of Congo, Gabon and Zambia must present documents proving they're not infected with ebola before entering the country.
 * Diplomats travel to USA along with Admiral Constantino to auxiliate in the negotiations.

Hello. Doesn't matter who I am. Since you're allowed to read this, I assume you know what's going on and it's pointless to introduce the situation. I am here to inform you that what you read above is only half of the truth.

The government does not believe it's a joke that went too far. Bolsonaro said it to stop the panic. All the powerful men and women that command this nation know the Zalgos are real. And you know too. After all, you must be a member of the Blue Amazon Project. *Giggles* That's a stupid name, but there's not much we can do. We have to hide the true purpose of the Project.

That brings me to the other point. That exercise in the Amazon is an excuse for us to understand how capable of waging war our miltary is. For now, we know the Zalgos are aggressive and different from everything we've seen before. We don't know how the situation will develop, so we need to be ready for anything. Literally anything.

The meeting in the US is not meant to expand the navy or any other bullshit they've told you. Nobody here cares about that stupid aircraft carrier anymore. What we want in the United States is to understand the Zalgos. *Louder tone* I mean, those things first appeared in New Mexico, now there are cases in Las Vegas, Mexico... How many new suspected instances appeared in just a couple months? Two thousand? Three? Four? How long until they come South? *Pause, followed by inaudible whispers* I'm sorry for that. I lost control.

We are meeting with the americans in charge of the case to study and offer our help. We got doctors and scientists, we want to contribute. We also want to take a closer look at the Zalgos and understand their behavior, see if we can fix the contaminated people or, if it doesn't work and they reach our borders, prepare a military plan to eliminate them. No one wants to do the last part. But, as I said earlier, we must be prepared for anything. So yes, the naval expansion is just an excuse to send our teams to the US and to liberate budget to study the Zalgos. Still, we're not sure if the americans will want our help. We're not sure about ANYTHING! What those things are, how they work... Or if they will ever pose a threat to Brazil. They're too weird to be predictable. I hope our visit to Uncle Sam make them look less weird. Or, at least, help to make them look less weird.

Finish voice transcription.

United States of America

 * Government
 * 2028 Presidential Elections: Rob Hughes was elected as president in a surprising move, defeating Democratic Delaney from getting his second term. With the rising unpopularity of Delaney due to rumours of cracking down dissidents created by journalists and whistleblowers that have tried to expose the sightings in the United States or any other location classified by the government and many organisations, especially with US citizens that are journalists in Latin America (whom if they return they might suffer consequences if their report was ), they believe Republican presidential candidate Hughes would be able to stop cracking down and pushing for censorship of certain articles found, along with the confession that the government is up to something beyond covering up. (President-elect Hughes will be a big role next turn)
 * Censorship: Censorship goes hard.
 * Crackdown in Vegas: Three days after Delanley signed a secret order on creating the Zombie Crackdown Personnel (ZCP), the ZCP mission in Las Vegas consists of an estimated few dozens of military personnel had demanded all residents and tourists in that area to stay out of the Las Vegas Strip, thus closing all casinos for about a week for "security purposes" or they'll be arrested for "treason". Secretly they decided to sweep every evidence that can be found while disposing Yuri Watney's body into a contained room in a confidential location, but a remote one of the United States by truck at morning, concealed off from any civilian except for higher government officials (e.g. the POTUS and some approved memebrs). While the properties of black blood is still unknown, it is thought that she would likely be having a neural surge after dying all of a sudden. After everything's "done" investigating the death of Yuri Watney, the casinos were finally reopened a week after with little evidence that this event might've happened. Someone is coming...
 * A threat of blocking articles: On election night, the United States' government ordered all internet service providers to block articles of all websites that are related to the Zalgo attacks and CIA hackers to also take down articles that deem that promotes that the so-called Zalgo were real, leaving only articles that perpetrate the Zalgo attacks as a hoax and debunked, especially by emphasising articles of the South African case as "real yellow fever cases". But American users still have the ability of using a virtual private network (VPN) to bypass the blocking as the media brought many Americans to use VPN more than ever due to the interest of these sightings and attacks that are happening and there is so far no law regulating the use of VPNs or banned.
 * Military
 * Intervention: As sighting rapidly increased, many of the suspected beings within the United States showing similar signs that are described on the Internet and those classified by WHO are being arrested and never to be seen again. They even tried to cover it up. Many are calling the administration of Delaney recently "to be more harmful than his first term", his approval rates slip quickly and now they voted for Rob Hughes to tell the "big truth" in what he claims to be leaking files for the public and press to finally know and flush out the big lies being sowed for months since these sightings become even more common. For the incident where Yuri Watney dies in las Vegas, see Crackdown in Vegas.
 * Creation of the Zombie Crackdown Personnel (ZCP): In response, President Delaney on 21st November 2028 as one of his last significant executive orders secretly signed an order to establish the ZCP, which functions as a black operation and somewhat similar to the fictitious SCP organisation except more specialised towards the Zalgo. Their goals are to rid of any evidence of any sighting that is reported by mainstream media before it becomes viral by tapping into every phone call or camera with similar traits as most Zalgo attacks have.
 * Economy: Fears of the US economy sliding began to grow with a prolonged shutdown of some of the notable casinos and intensive "suspecting funding" to something the public doesn't know. The economy became stagnant as a result after recovering slowly from the early 2020s economic crisis.
 * Research: With Yuri Watney's body being underway being studied, along with samples of black liquid (to see if it's combustible to being actually infectious) in secret in a contained room after cleanup was taken care of, the United States would be able to discover potentially something bigger through thorough tests.
 * Diplomacy
 * Brazil: We'll agree to let your own team to get cases of these Zalgos that were documented before.
