Federative Republic of Brazil
 * Government:
 * High authorities are evacuated from the mainland and govern from Fernando de Noronha. The island's airport is closed for non-military-or-research porpouses, and the Navy takes care of its security.
 * Thanks to internet, situation inside quarantine zones and overran places is well known. It is noted that regions in Rio and Manaus are descending into anarchy, with local militias forming to defend against Zalgos or attempt an escape from the lockdown areas. Some militias contribute with the military, but some engage in firefights since food, water and medicine do not enter these zones for around nine months. Civilians accuse the military of bombing them for association with hostile militias.
 * Military:
 * Deployed soldiers are warned about militias raiding military camps for supplies, and they're authorized to execute suspects without trial.
 * The military crosses the borders of Colombia to try to save it, even without authorization from the colombian government. A large force is mobilized for the invasion, including our carrier and submarines, and they try to estabilish a stable supply line connecting Brazil to Bogota and Panama City. They have orders to kill on sight anything suspicious.
 * Paratroopers are dropped in the Panama Canal and, along with air support from our aircraft carrier, try to clear the canal so militaries can use it.
 * Using thermite in warfare is a war crime, but nevertheless large thermite bombs are built and tested in infected areas, since Zalgos are supposed to purge under extreme heat. They aim to set whole neighborhoods or forests on fire to force Zalgos to undergo purging. If it works, the tactic will be employed widely.
 * Economy:
 * A strong recession begins, so policies are taken to keep up our military and research while sacrificing the population.
 * Diplomacy:
 * We propose the creation of an united south american force to combat the Zalgos in the continent.
 * Zalgo Research and Combat:
 * The theory stating that Zalgos are actually a system of all contaminants working together recieves wide support. The components are separated in structural similarity groups and injected separatedly in both tissue samples and living volunteers. We want to know if they have specific functions, like organs in an organism, or if the disease will develop as usual.
 * With extreme care, the Moon object is analyzed on the outside and then engineers try to open it or disassemble it, so we learn how it is built and what is inside.
 * Staff tries different tactics to talk to Zalgos: According to audio logs, instances show human-like emotions like guilt ("I'm so sorry. So so sorry", subject 53), saudade ("I have to say, I missed Mars", subject M-04), familiar bonding ("I have lost my family", subject 27) but most importantly, empathy ("My sincere condolences", subject 48).
 * For this reason, staff attemps communication in a provoking and aggressive way, by showing them the violent destruction through purging, Zalgos exploding through lab pulverizing and verbal provocation (with a good dose of bluffing) about their lost families in the vaccum, the deaths on Mars and ridicularizing their attempts to take over Earth, saying humans are winning. Interrogation techniques of psychological pressure are adapted and used. Instances that showed more sensitive emotions, like Subject 53 who was apologizing for their actions, are priorized.
