So, the apocalypse is over!

[Terrallamus]

I researched a cure, but it took longer than I expected. Ended up with 1% survival rate, most zombies died from lack of brains left to eat.

I never managed to get a cure at all, even though I started researching only about an hour after the start of the event.

[USHALLNOTPASS]

we should have invisible zombies next year

[Itching Fish]

our region had zero deaths and after the first hour or so everyone was cured and the region closed its borders so we were pretty clean the entire time.

[Ardavia]

we managed to cure practically everyone in the region

127 billion survivors, 0.8 billion zombies, and 2 billion dead as of the last count

the zombies were mainly due to some [insert uncharitable description] leaving a nation in the region idling on "building a zombie empire", but we kept the number of zombies low by periodically curenuking them to prune their numbers

the dead were because apparently people think killing your zombies when it's fully possible to cure them flawlessly is a good idea

your research and extermination efforts are going to be severely neutered by your scientists and military leaders having their brains eaten

that is, high numbers of zombies will screw your research efforts over

[Tillania]

National survival rate: 100%
Regional survival rate: 99.9%

[The Lone Alliance]

All and all not bad.
For the first time ever managed to completely clear our region and made the top 100 in Most Survivors with No Infected.

[The Persecuted Undead]

I lost horribly... The zombies didn't win and my population wasn't completely wiped out... But I guess a seventh of them were zombies again even if a fifteenth were still alive... The zombie religion shall return next year should "brain juice" be provided. On a serious note most of you can be considered ignorant and immoral especially with the given options. First there is an implication that society can exist within zombies through the option of starting a zombie empire. Secondly if they can be cured and return to the living that implies that mental capacity is only blurred. Third there is obvious intent to make reactions against zombies more violent with zombie destruction squads and the term cure bomb... Have any of you read wake up dead man or pondered the evolution of man? From a religious standpoint it is also something bestowed upon us by god and where in any religious text does it say slay all cannibals? In fact Christianity references cannibalism with the blood and body of Christ who rose from the dead. Additionally being a zombie if well preserved provides immunity from disease as well as prevention of the erosion of time. Lastly did anyone notice how if zombies were left unchecked there were no casualties? Does this not indicate the their desire was to reproduce or convert rather than to feast upon human flesh? if you want to argue great you are morally in the right if you only cured people through a type of utilitarianism but if you sent in death squads you are morally in the wrong unless you confess to ignorance. On a final note you may consider this game and this event a social experiment oriented towards discovering the tendencies of a gamer population for violence or control when considering that there was no indication provided of being particularly violent or complete loss of life from a zombie bite. If you can provide evidence even if circumstantial feel free to argue and if you can use facts that I don't know and can be checked feel free to flame me till I burn to the ground.

According to my experience if you leave the zombies unchecked they will eventually die,I lost my 61 million brave and hardworking Tangaliroans because no one in my region sent cure aid in time,you call that as a no-casualties?

[Zemnaya Svoboda]

We managed to do a bit better than last year.

[Araraukar]

Game-created regions always tend to fare badly in general, but this year I had a couple of allies in trying to cure others, and they helped cure my people, so that I ended up with a total survival percentage at 16.46%, my highest from these events so far! Had much more fun this time around than last time, even though active curers were being targeted by the evil zombie empire/terminator combo people.

[Flanderlion]

We managed to do a bit better than last year.

We also managed to do slightly better than last year. How did the scripts work out? I saw the Tech thing, and thought they would make TNP a shoe-in for most survivors.

[Soviet Azastan]

Azastan fully recovered from the zombie outbreak with zero casualties. We couldn't have done this without help from our comrades.

[Ameige]

My nation did poorly due to our region not being password locked and cure nations flooding in from other regions to try to cure my poor precious zombies!! In the end they gave up and just shot everyone.

I was left with zero survivors and zero zombies and I barely got to bite hardly anyone.

Next year, I am spending the apocalypse in a zombie friendly environment.

All I got from that is that Jesus was a zombie.

[Pelgaraus]

Well coordinated response from my region meant that every nation had been cured completely within 15 hours. Nobody cured me, but only 1 out of every 7 people were infected, so I feel I've got off fairly lightly.

[The Germanian states]

My Region just spread it to me so I was ravaged by the millions

[Trigori]

Somebody give this guy a cookie!

I did get the iron cross second class because of how well i fought.

Heeey, I remember you. Honestly, a single nation would suffice in taking you down, since a single hit would make you unable to send any more hordes. The hourly updates were the chief problem. We left leaving with you with no zombies, but then the hour ended and you had them again.

[Quanos]

The Empire of Quanos had a 91.7% cure rate and the region i belong to, nationstates, was ranked 4th overall.
The whole region focussed on a cure, those who sided with the zombies where expelled.
I personally cured a nation that wanted to side with the zombies and was halfway converting its population, causing that nation to have zero zombies

All the glory goes to my neighbouring, bigger nations though. As i only had a population of about 11 million people, my cure missiles only cured 1 million per hit,
where as theirs easily cured 20-50 million with each missile

[South Isles]

Missed out.

[Zemnaya Svoboda]

We also managed to do slightly better than last year. How did the scripts work out? I saw the Tech thing, and thought they would make TNP a shoe-in for most survivors.

The difficulty of testing zombie-related code outside of Z-day, and the reduced reliability of the NS API in general during Z-day, made using them less smooth for TNP than I would have liked. Nevertheless, I think we used a modified version of zombie-radar pretty effectively, particularly the new filtering options I added to our javascript UI.

[Outer Sparta]

I survived the zombie apocalypse! My survival rate is 82.73%.

[Bears Armed]

In the IDU we closed our regional borders, set every active nation on researching a cure as quickly as possible, and cooperated on sending cure missiles: 100% survival rate, 666 billion people (actually 668 billion, but the other 2 billion were outside the region -- helping to cure another one -- when the final count was made). This was the first outbreak in which we managed anything of the sort...

[Vallermoore]

Everyone in my nation was zombiefied, the last million from a zombie horde sent in by another nation. Clearly the armed forces and armed citizens were not strong enough.

[Doperland]

All my beloved zombies were killed. I couldn't do anything the last like... eight hours.
