No point in resurrecting the U.S since it will be dead in a pandemic or whatever.

A new California republic would be nice.


And a nice New Roman empire? Ave, true to Caesar

Speaking of a nice new Roman Empire, in something like a zombie scenario, Constantinople during the reign of the Eastern Roman Empire would be perfect.

Those land walls.

Yeah. Can we have Greek fire, too?

It wouldn't work in a World War Z setting,though, due to the piling zombies.

Eh, I think it would still work if you garrisoned the walls. The walls were nigh impregnable to assault when manned. The zombies would lose tens of thousands in the approach alone.

Well, it isn't just walls is the thing, you've got canals, chokepoints, everything. Constantinople was built to never fall.

You mean the movie version, right? If so, ignore it, that was a flop and complete other direction than from what the book took.

  • INTP
  • All American Patriotic Constitutionalist/Classic libertarian (with fiscal conservatism)
  • Religiously Tolerant
  • Roman Catholic
  • Hoplophilic/ammosexual

Yeah, after 2 centuries of neglect of the walls, depopulation by Crusader guests, and bombardment by cannon.

I suggest looking at how many sieges it survived: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_s ... tantinople

It's not the ones it survived that matter, it's the ones it didn't.

I will forge a mighty Union, forged in atomic fire and blessed by the God-Lincoln, that old martyr Abraham who ruled a heaven of gold and plenty from aloft his marble throne, until he was betrayed by the fallen angel Davis, who betrayed him in jealously of his glory. Davis sent an army of wicked giants to tear heaven asunder, but God-Lincoln met him with an army of angels, led by the Archangels Ulysses and Sherman, and crushed the giants with hammers of flame and thunder.

Nah, nah, nah

You need the proper bayonets these days. Not the puny M9 standard-issue knifes they call bayonets but the real bayonets that make men shiver in fear as the enemy enters your trench. Of course you wouldn't use the real bayonets like slashing implements but for stabbing the eyes or skulls of zombies.

You could actually see the change of director in the films after the plane crash. We went all action all around the world to save it to subdued stealth to save the world. Read me interesting stuff in this article

Imagine though being among the survivors of an alien invasion. The technological advancements you'd witness after we had kicked their asses and used their technology.

I don't think you can survive the "literal" end of the world in any other way.

As for the scenarios you posted - I will think about it once it happens, because who knows, maybe I'll be one of the first people to die!

Anything short of blowing the planet into literal bits would not be enough to stop another species from rising to dominance.


That aside, a zombie apocalypse, however bizarre and unlikely would be a hilarious way for our species to end.

I'd be pretty embarrassed if that's what killed us after all the time and effort we've put into thinking about zombies.
