United States of America
 * Government
 * Controversial Democrat candidate for the 2032 Primaries: Benton Hammond, a controversial senator from Rhode Island rose up at the start of summer 2031 to potentially defeat numerous Democratic candidates with his calling for the United States to start 'punishing Korea for doing obscene actions' and replace them with a new government whenever necessary and used strongly racial-oriented language to harass Korean-Americans for 'infiltrating our country like spies and they should be watched more often'. This led to mass protests in the Korean diaspora in late June after he announced to be the presidential candidate for the Democrats to fight against President Rubio which he intends to run for another term instead of stepping down after serving the rest of former President Hughes' term. This will slowly unfold the next nine months though as he was partially vague. Perhaps the Democrats are experiencing a polarity reverse in the left-right spectrum (seeing that Hammond is a conservative Democrat which is unlikely since the start of the 20th century but seem to make a comeback in only very few numbers as of this year) and the Republicans as well?
 * Cybersecurity Enhancement Program of 2031: Despite major pressure on trying to have the United States open up more transparency which conspiracists desire such as the actual case of San Francisco, recent political drama has led to the Cybersecurity Enhancement Program of 2031 or CSEP. CSEP will enhance security walls and protection of classified files by creating a firewall, combined with genetic prints, bionic tests and various other tests so that one spy from other nation will not easily access classified files or use them. All forged identities (even if they were able to tap in the system) and stolen identities will not be accepted upon entry by another agent who will be likely trying to use multiple gestures. Any arrested agents suspected of having allegiance with other nations will be kept in for few months in detention and agree not to expose any documents by expunging all information through confiscation of all stolen data and destroy those if they were copies of the original when checked in by security once they return to their respective country. This program will be fully complete by 2033.
 * Military
 * Intervention
 * Operation Cisco (San Francisco): With the whole media and the government saying that the outbreak is minor unlike New York and have safely evacuated in numbers through camps, the ZCP quickly intervened in the situation by sending in a two thousand force, which is almost the half of the available recruits and veterans available to apprehend these Zalgos. However the ZCP is also turning San Francisco, unlike New York City into a laboratory itself temporarily by stuffing all Zalgos into one building and observing any changes. Any escape will lead to them being killed while all other Zalgos that are not in a designated building or are outside are expected to be neutralised.
 * Other areas: Due to increased number of Zalgo sightings once again, all of the military personnel with more than 1 year of experience, including higher-ranking officials are encouraged to join ZCP after they have passed multiple tests and terms which has being in effect since the start of 2031. This means every quarter, only few hundred will be able to join instead of just around the average of 80 to 90 per quarter out of ordinary military soldiers. They are all deployed to hunt for other Zalgos to train and prepare that they have to give up their normal lives.
 * Research
 * They don't turn to dust: So the ZCP concluded that the Zalgos that are in captive won't turn to dust, but they have to find a way to observe it. The best chance they could do it is to observe all Zalgos in one room in San Francisco through the eyelids of cameras hacked by ZCP forces. But they also brought up the theory that Zalgos turning into dust may only happen if the Zalgo itself is alone and that they can't turn to dust all of a sudden unless they're alone. But these cameras are hacked and viewed by multiple bases across the United States, while the Zalgo itself shouldn't be able to escape around the building in certain parts. Some sceptics believe this will lead to further infection but they want to see if San Francisco ends up like New York.
 * Martian Theory: The Martian Theory is still being worked on. The ZCP and NASA is using this as a chance to get a manned Martian mission going and find if there's life on Mars in the past or if there's an advanced civilisation that was in the hiding for millions, if not billions of years.
 * Manned Martian mission: A team of three initial members were selected, along with ten reserves in April should any member of the Federation don't want to send its own researchers during a secretive press announcement between all Federation members for the manned Martian mission that is scheduled to launch on December 2031. To get the most out of it, NASA and the ZCP asks for every member of the Federation to volunteer by sending in materials and parts to reduce launch failure risks and even send in their own researchers to become part of this expedition regarding to the Martian Theory. There were also suggestions to send a Zalgo, a vocalised Zalgo of course to Mars. This was approved by the ZCP on May and thus they could send one onboard only if they are directly observed but contained so that it doesn't escape around the lander, say another pod that is detachable.
 * Economy
 * Early 2030s recession: Still recovering in New York, but a small plunge happens when a "minor outbreak" emerges in San Francisco due to a large amount of Zalgos happening once again.
 * Diplomacy
 * All members of the Federation: We ask for your support to launch a manned mission which is due by December 2031 (should note that the lander only holds eight people due to limitations of transporting at that time even if they did fund a lot into it which happened recently, but we decided to limit it to three of us since we make huge efforts to create an unlikely manned mission and reserved few in case you don't want to join in the joint effort to find out about what's behind Mars). If our mission fails or succeed when we land to Mars, perhaps our chance to prove the Martian Theory might happen or not even happen at all. Let's hope that it works out.
 * Brazil: We could try but that could risk our mission though if they try to infect us. And to be honest, you'll mainly do the research regarding towards Zalgos on Earth, since we are moving mostly to space operations regarding to the manned mission to Mars.
 * China: We don't care about what you do to the satellite as long you give information regarding to your satellite.
 * Iceland: You can volunteer in our own mission but we recommend that you send one crew to our own mission as we only hold five in our newly created lander.
