Can Small Regions Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?

[Quilavaland]

Say there's a region with just 5 nations. What happens when the event starts, will zombies just roll over the region because 5 nations working on a cure isn't enough, or is the effect proportional the number of nations in a region?

Also, what happens to people asleep when the event starts, it's not really fair if their nations get rolled over just because of their sleep cycle or location.

(No, I'm not going to drag this out into a huge argument like the last one, I'm just asking)

I guess it's just tough. Smaller 'regions' in the real world would suffer more because there are fewer people working on a cure (not necessarily for zombie viruses, but pandemics in general), so I guess it's not too bad.

What I worry about is the fact I'm British. As this thing runs from Australia, I'm pretty sure a large percentage of my poulation will be zombified by the time I'm online

I've dealt with this last year so I think I can tell you that it's probably easier if anything to have a smaller region. As long as you all are working together, it wont be too hard. And you have plenty of time to set up your choice of option, so no worry on start times.

Okay, thanks.

I played last year too, but I've forgotten what happened...

But just asking for those who do have long-term memory, when do the zombies actually start becoming like noticeable? 3 hours after the start?

Actually, if you ask me, smaller regions have better chances of survival. Seeing on how they tend to be made up of people who are working together. And, it would be easier to manage, as you would be able to easily root out a traitor.

The number of nations isn't terribly important. However, the total combined national polulation (i.e: the sum of the numbers on each nation page) is relevant. Five nations of five million each will be facing an uphill battle. Five nations with each 1 billion+ and well established spending patters in military or tech ought to be fine.
More important than either of those, however, is activity. There should be a plan in place and everyone should do their utmost to be online when it starts. Just like with real life pandemics, early and coordinated response is critical.

Sinkers and feeders are basically food for the zombies.

Small regions are actually the best in some cases... Large regions, if players arent super active, are just zombie hives that will kill any nation inside of it
