The USA was a pain in the ass to colour.
Anywho, once we start quarantining and safe-zone'ing I will label the map further.
Enjoy.

Goals:To maintain Spain intact through out the Crisis. My overall plan is to isolate Madrid using the surrounding Mountain ranges, this will allow me to create two Safe Zones, one in Southern Spain below the Tagus and another up North above the Sistema Central. Catalonia will have to be sacrificed because it is to easy to get to via the gap in the Pyrenees on french border. I will probably have to step in and help Portugal to keep my Western borders clear and the Spanish Government will have to evacuate to the Canary Islands just in case
Current History: Their have already been a few small outbreaks in Barcelona all of which have been dealt with by the Guardia Civil, in the rest of Spain it is relatively quite. The Madrid-Barcelona AVE line has been closed,the Spanish Public has been told that this is for reparations to the railway but in truth this is to discourage transit to Barcelona from Madrid. Due to Spain's great healthcare system(4th best in the world), the Top levels of the Spanish government and the military are completely aware of true extent of the new threat. The Spanish Public is being lightly informed of a new strain of human rabies and is being told to be cautious certain symptoms and to call authorities should anyone they know experience the symptoms. The Military is currently on alert and is quietly patrolling the borders of the planned safe zones.

Current History: So far, France has done very little officially. Officially, the disease has not entered France yet, and anyone entering France must be tested for what the government has dubbed the H1Z1 virus, unoffically called 'that mysterious flu.' Anyone within France who reports to a hospital with the flu is quietly whisked away into special guarded 'biohazard wards' as the so-called mysterious flu is highly infectious according to the government and carriers must be kept in total isolation. Other than that, everything continues as normal. Officially.
Unoffically, the government is in mass panic at the higher levels. The military has quietly moved soldiers between bases focusing on those nearest to medieval castles so that the troops can hole up inside and airbases to enable supply drops to isolated strongpoints. The French government has also shifted many of it's armoured units to the area in Pas-De-Calais to ensure the Channel Tunnel is held and to prevent anything getting in or out should the government issue a national quarrintine.

-Max Barry
No government could have been possibly prepared for the worst disaster mankind would ever experience. However, incompetence, fear, and cowardice created the situation that we now find ourselves in.
Loc Nihn, Vietnamese-Cambodian border.
The small forested town of Loc Nihn, in Southern Vietnam, had long been the site of a secret communist Vietnamese biological research camp disguised as a nuclear power plant. Since 1991, it had been researching a new, deadly virus that was adapted from the Chinese 'Black Dragon' - a disease that would turn a dead body into a walking organism, able to attack humans - and spread through the bite. Then, in November of 2012, it was accidentally detonated at the plant. Vietnamese authorities quickly covered it up as a 'failed nuclear reactor.' Vietnam immediately closed it's borders, using a military buildup on the Chinese border to distract the international community. It is not known if this was the exact cause of the bight that would eventually swallow Vietnam, but thousands of rich Vietnamese began leaving the country in droves, illegally smuggled into far-off nations. Meanwhile, infected organs were exported for monetary means into hospitals tens of thousands of miles away.
General Information
So there you have it. A World War Z - esque role play, in which you can choose a modern country (ie, China) and guide it through the zombie war to salvation, or destruction. First of all, I would recommend reading the book World War Z, it's a gripping read, that accurately portrays how modern nations would react to a real, honest-to-goodness, Zombie Plague.
Solanum
Unfortunately, extensive research has yet to find an isolated example of Solanum in nature. Water, air, and soil in all ecosystems, from all parts of the world, have turned up negative, as have their accompanying flora and fauna. At the time of this writing, the search continues.
2. Symptoms
The timetable below outlines the process of an infected human (give or take several hours, depending on the individual).
Hour 1: Pain and discoloration (brown-purple) of the infected area. Immediate clotting of the wound (provided the infection came from a wound).
Hour 5: Fever (99–103 degrees F), chills, slight dementia, vomiting, acute pain in the joints.
Hour 8: Numbing of extremities and infected area, increased fever (103–106 degrees F), increased dementia, loss of muscular coordination.
Hour 11: Paralysis in the lower body, overall numbness, slowed heart rate.
Hour 16: Coma.
Hour 20: Heart stoppage. Zero brain activity.
Hour 23: Reanimation.
3. Transference
Solanum is 100 percent communicable and 100 percent fatal. Fortunately for the human race, the virus is neither waterborne nor airborne. Humans have never been known to contract the virus from elements in nature. Infection can occur only through direct fluidic contact. A zombie bite, although by far the most recognizable means of transference, is by no means the only one. Humans have been infected by brushing their open wounds against those of a zombie or by being splattered by its remains after an explosion. Ingestion of infected flesh (provided the person has no open mouth sores), however, results in permanent death rather than infection. Infected flesh has proven to be highly toxic.
No information—historical, experimental, or otherwise—has surfaced regarding the results of sexual relations with an undead specimen, but as previously noted, the nature of Solanum suggests a high danger of infection. Warning against such an act would be useless, as the only people deranged enough to try would be unconcerned for their own safety. Many have argued that, given the congealed nature of undead bodily fluids, the chances of infection from a non-bite contact should be low. However, it must be remembered that even one organism is enough to begin the cycle.
4. Cross-species Infection
Solanum is fatal to all living creatures, regardless of size, species, or ecosystem. Reanimation, however, takes place only in humans. Studies have shown that Solanum infecting a non-human brain will die within hours of the death of its host, making the carcass safe to handle. Infected animals expire before the virus can replicate throughout their bodies. Infection from insect bites such as from mosquitoes can also be discounted. Experiments have proven that all parasitic insects can sense and will reject an infected host 100 percent of the time.
The zombie survival guide : complete protection from the living dead
5. Treatment
Once a human is infected, little can be done to save him or her. Because Solanum is a virus and not a bacteria, antibiotics have no effect. Immunization, the only way to combat a virus, is equally useless, as even the most minute dosage will lead to a full-blown infection. Genetic research is under way. Goals range from stronger human antibodies to resistant cell structure to a counter-virus designed to identify and destroy Solanum. This and other, more radical treatments are still in the earliest stages, with no foreseeable success in the near future. Battlefield experiences have led to the immediate severing of the infected limb (provided this is the location of the bite), but such treatments are dubious at best, with less than a 10 percent success rate. Chances are, the infected human was doomed from the moment the virus entered his or her system. Should the infected human choose suicide, he should remember that the brain must be eliminated first. Cases have been recorded in which recently infected subjects, deceased by means other than the virus, will nonetheless reanimate. Such cases usually occur when the subject expires after the fifth hour of infection. Regardless, any person killed after being bitten or otherwise infected by the undead should be immediately disposed of. (See “Disposal.”)
6. Reanimating The Already Deceased
It has been suggested that fresh human corpses could reanimate if Solanum were introduced after their demise. This is a fallacy. Zombies ignore necrotic flesh and therefore could not transfer the virus. Experiments conducted during and after World War II have proven that injecting Solanum into a cadaver would be futile because a stagnant bloodstream could not transport the virus to the brain. Injection directly into a dead brain would be equally useless, as the expired cells could not respond to the virus. Solanum doesnot create life—it alters it.
-The Zombie Survival Guide
General Premise
Essentially, we're not at the point of the Great Panic, in which Solanum is wide-spread, but more at the beginning stages- minor outbreaks have occurred in major cities, such as New York, London, Berlin, Shanghai, etc. Almost all countries at this point contain some forms of the disease, and the numbers are growing. However, Africa, the most heavily infected continent, is in the middle of it's Great Panic, and South Africa is adopting the Redeker Plan.
You'll be leading your nation through the crisis, establishing various plans to stop the disease from completely annihilating your nation (ie, Safezones), and cooperating with fellow countries in stopping the blight.
Rules
1. Realism. You can't create a huge glass bowl that protects your entire populace from the zombie threat. End of.
2. Post-length. Please have at least two paragraphs with four lines.
3. Flaming. If you have a problem, please discuss it civilly on the OOC. We don't want moderator intervention.
