Talk:Pandemic: Plague Z (Map Game)/@comment-26031225-20170210033343

Caribbean Union:
 * Goverment: Megido continues with her policies focused on zombies and the cure, the difference is that she is trying to make the Caribbean Union more involved in international affairs (only for anti-zombie operation, everything regarding entry or leaving from the country is still extremly regulated as well as trade), in contrast with most presidents (now governors) who prefered a full isolation. Federal elections are once again held later on the year, this time to elect the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, composed by 500 and 75 members respectively. 3 major electoral alliances participated in the election; the Great Patriotic Pole (GPP), a coalition of left-leaning parties (from communism to socialdemocracy), which supports president Megido, the right-wing Let's Change! (Cambiemos) movement, and the centrist Democratic Unity (UD). The GPP won a majority in both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, which will allow Megido to pass any law she wishes easily. Results are as follow (S = Senators | D = Deputies);
 * Great Patriotic Pole
 * Popular Vote: 43.27%
 * Seats Won: 263 D | 38 S
 * Let's Change
 * Popular Vote: 26.19%
 * Seats Won: 143 D | 20 S
 * Democratic Unity:
 * Popular Vote: 20.62%
 * Seats Won: 74 D | 13 S
 * Minor Parties:
 * Popular Vote: 6.02%
 * Seats Won: 13 D | 3 S
 * Independents:
 * Popular Vote: 3.90%
 * Seats Won: 7 D | 1 S
 * Plague Z: Megido implements a series of policies to deal with Plague Z, even copying some from Cuba, something that wasn't surprising or drastically changed things because nearly all the member countries had already implemented similar policies themselves.
 * Zombie Lovers: All books published by Author [REDACTED] are banned after incidents with "zombie lovers" in the United States. Media supporting zombies is censored, including the Internet. Zombie lovers are also persecuted and arrested to be used as test subjects.
 * Isolation policies: No one can get in or out. All airports and ports are shut down because of this, except for trading with a few countries. Trade with CDC members, most of the ZPL and some pacific islands is not stopped. However they are almost entirely based on food, tobacco and oil, and all imports from the UK and Australia are stored in Juventud Island to be analyzed and inspected since these two countries are more prone to infection than the others (Note: Once the first case of Plague Z is confirmed in one of the "authorized" countries, all trade is inmediately cut with them). As for the tourist issue, they are all given the status of "permanent residents" and forced to find a job in order to serve their new Motherland. They are not allowed to leave either.
 * Safe Water: Because of the Mediterranean Sea becoming contaminated with Plague Z, Megido becomes very paranoid and he inmediately begins a water treatment program, basically copying UK's plan and hopefully their technology as well because we are probably too poor to do that ourselves. The other alternative is bottled water which is being funded through the water industry to provide cubans with enough bottled water in case of emergency.
 * Operation Toreador: The civilian population is being trained on self-defence (gun use included) and survival measures so they know how to defend themselves if zombies end up reaching the Caribbean, with simulations of zombie attacks being done on schools and work centers. With the disease posing a serious threat to mankind, this training becomes mandatory for everyone over the age of 16 (old people and people with disabilities or terminal diseases are exempt). Children also receive some insight at school, mostly through simulations of zombie attacks so they know how to hide or escape.
 * Worst case scenario preparatives: Underground shelters are being built in most major cities, the Antilles and Juventud island, plans for storing food on these are made. We speed up this project as we use our reserves to further fund it, we also analyze the possibility of building a wall in our cities, but since the chances of an invasion in the mainland is low, we decide to focus on defending our waters for now, but we will still make an action plan for this if it is required.
 * Operation Shoot 'Em Down: Caribbean waters are heavely patrolled to watch out for any refugees boats and unidentified vessels, Megido implements a "shoot before asking" policy, similar to that of Madagascar. Regardless of where they come from or their purpose, all unidentified ships will be shoot down . The same goes for unidentified planes.
 * Military: All the Armed Forces of the members of the federation are merged and reorganized into the Caribbean Army Forces for the sake of having an unified army. The Caribbean Armed Forces are also divided into the Caribbean Army, the Caribbean Air Force and the Caribbean Navy.
 * Caribbean Army: The Caribbean Army and the Land Forces receive the most funding, particularly extensive training on how to deal with zombies. Soldiers are taught to shoot zombies in the head while shooting to an specific killzone and to form perimeter when they are surrounded, defending the centre. A "Zombie Removal Squad" consisting of the best soldiers in the Military is also created, they receive the same training but more extensive and they are also specialized in zombie removal as their name suggests. They are equiped with potent weapons such as flame throwers.
 * 410,000 Active Personnel (+5,000)
 * 3,500 Zombie Removal Squad Active Personnel
 * ~4,000 "Mercenaries"
 * 161 Tanks (+7)
 * 2,268 Armored Fighting Vehicles (+31)
 * 148 Self-Propelled Guns (+0)
 * 351 Towed Artillery (+11)
 * 131 Multiple-Launch Rocket Systems (+2)
 * Caribbean Air Force: The Air Force receives moderate attention, since it is important to have one to bomb infected areas but land forces are the priority right now. Just like the Navy, the Air Force makes extensive patrolling to shoot down any unidentified plane, while some others are sent in international operations.
 * 35,000 Active Personnel (+5,000)
 * 75 Fighters/Interceptors (+4)
 * 54 Fixed-Wing Attack Aircraft (+1)
 * 53 Transport Aircraft (+3)
 * 34 Trainer Aircraft (+0)
 * 26 Helicopters (+0)
 * 24 Attack Helicopters (+0)
 * Caribbean Navy: The Navy is not being funded masisvely anymore, since Megido thinks that it is strong enough to defend our coasts by now. Extensive patrols across our territorial waters are still being done to shoot down any unidentified vessel.
 * 35,000 Active Personnel (+2,000)
 * 11 Missile Boats (+0)
 * 5 Corvettes (+0)
 * 7 Frigates (+0)
 * 9 Midget submarines (+0)
 * 6 Intellignce Collection Vessels (+0)
 * 17 Minesweepers (+0)
 * 17 Coastal Defence Craft (+0)
 * 20 Patrol Boats (+0)
 * Operations:
 * Operation Firefly: After a bunch of months without taking direct military actions against the Plague, Megido announces Operation Firefly. It basically consists of a series of air strikes (bombing) and of sending supplies to isolated pockets of sirvivors, all of this will be done by the Air Force since we do not want to send troops to die in a pointless battle against zombies as other nations have done. The first series of attacks, and by far the most deadly, occurs in the city of New Orleans, where there is no mercy since there are barely any survivors there and killing zombies would slow down the spread of the epidemic, at least a couple dozens of thousands of zombies (if not hundreds) die in the attacks. The second series of attacks occurs in Indonesia, where napalm and other flameable chemicals are used to destroy the zombies in the jungle. Food and weapons are also dropped by helicopters on the Algerian desert and some areas of Java.
 * Operation Rubio: We send 4,000 members of the Anti-Zombie Squad to Miami, however, they claim to be dissidents and become mercenaries, secretly being controlled by the Caribbean goverment. They claim to have experience against zombies because they fought against the outbreak in Haiti and were successful. Their price is 120,000 USD per 1,000 men, 60% of the income goes to the goverment and the remaining 40% goes to them (they also receive a salary anyway so).
 * Operation Z: The lab is finished and now we are starting to send test subjects (arrested zombie lovers) for experimenting. We don't do much other than researching the cure.
 * Economy: Megido massively funds farmers to produce more food after this strategy was proved to be successfull on Cuba. Fishing is also funded and the unemployment rate is down to 2.1% (Cuba has 0.1%). Petroleum extraction is also increased.
 * Diplomacy:
 * ZPL: We should focus on researching the cure rather than beginning a conflict with Zcom. However we do think that we could try to send spies in order to keep track of their operations. We should also try to get more countries into the ZPL, such as Canada, Finland and Mexico.
 * Mexico:  Megido visits Mexico to increase collaboration between the 2 countries. They are invited to the ZPL, and an individual alliance is proposed if they decline. We also propose to take up to 60,000 mexican refugees as an exception since the infection has not reached the country yet, but this has to be done by next turn (this is optional, they can agree to send refugees or not).
 * Cuban dissidents: haha now you're going to die you should've never left Cuba get rekt!!! kys
 * United Nations: Megido announces that the Caribbean Union will leave the United Nations by 2020, she says that the union is a failure and that it is a waste of resources for the country as they failed to contain the very first outbreaks in Germany, Italy and Congo. Process for leaving has officially began.
 * Amazonas: Megido also visits Amazonas this year in order to increase relations, proposing an alliance.
 * KKK/White Supremacists/Confederates: We're very sorry for what's happening in your country because of the weak policies implemented by Obama and Cruz, Trump should've remained in charge. We are willing to help you survive by offering asylum in our country for you and your families, but before we can do this you must make us a favor. You must infiltrate the US Navy, hijack one of their aircraft carriers, and give it to us after landing in the Grand Bahama island. If you do this, you would guarantee the safety of you and your families, preserving the integrity of the white culture, while also making an attack against Michelle's goverment. Please accept this deal and save your families.
