History: still WIP
China
East Asia was plunged into utterly bloody chaos as zombies sprinted across the region, easily infecting many in this heavily populated part of the world. China's military, even with all its might, could not control the infestation and settled in Shandong, where the neck of the peninsula helped to funnel the zombies for easier extermination. China, the origin of the infection, was the most heavily affected. In only a few months, hundreds of millions of people were either consumed or turned. Cities, farms, and villages were smothered in liquid fire spurted from flamethrowers and incendiary bombs. Gore and blood littered highways and rivers as bullets and shells tore through the soft torsos, rendering undead unrecognizable. The military was overwhelmed, hammered from all sides from sprinting corpses. Flame and metal fell to rotten flesh, splintering the military. Many units retreated to the Tibetan plateau where chances of survival seemed much higher, while in the north many sheltered in the protection of Mongolia and Siberia. The scattered soldiers of the urban regions pushed to Shandong, purified the peninsula, and made it their fortress. A border was set up; heavy fortifications such as piked ditches and pillboxes lined a chainlink fence that stretched for miles, resulting in a "Second Great Wall of China". Much of the military remains on this line, for the Chinese navy takes care of seaborn zombie threats and checks refugee ships for infected.
Shandong's civilian population is in a complicated state. Most citizens are refugees, so the many people who fled there had no jobs at the start of the Shandong Safe Zone's creation. Most low-or-unskilled workers took over the farms and abandoned factories after the provincial government organized the new state. Working is compulsory for children aged over eighteen and not enrolled in one of China's specialty schools. Shandong still continues China's policy of conscription for a year for male adults. Only the richest families can afford to send their children to theses schools, which were stretched far in between. Money is a commodity not usually used in the exchange of goods and services, for most people were poor, including the military. An unofficial trading system is set among the masses for convenient everyday purchases and sales. The economy is spearheaded by agriculture followed by weapons manufacturing. The many empty buildings of the province are given away to the refugees.
North Korea
The military might of the People's Army was more than enough for the zombies from the north. However, much of the complication was influxes of refugees. It was something Kim Jung-Un did not expect; people wanting to get in instead of getting out? The refugees came in from boats and drove in from the north. Processing refugees was a hard task; until that moment, most of North Korea's civilians did not know much about the infection. Whenever infected bands roamed the countryside, most citizens did not know what to do. Television was not common, and there were only so much radios. The lack of information available to the public made the residents' stationary and easy meals for the undead. Goring through the innocent farmers and their families, the North Korean Horde reached the cities, where they were quickly massacred by the mightier and meatier Ground Force. Cities became, like in other nations, slaughterhouses; although, these were not for humans but for zombies. North Korea's heavy militarization became its savior, resulting it in being among the safer nations in the Pacific.
This new influx of refugees was ordered to leave by the Glorious Leader, for he realized that food would be in shortage should they stay. Most refugees left to South Korea and East Russia, where many used their port cities to depart to Shandong and Japan. There was an exception to the rule, however. Any refugee who joined the military could stay in North Korea, much to the delight to the few who found peace in North Korea. Kim Jung-Un is much more open with foreign powers than his predecessors, but anti-American, anti-Japanese, and anti-South Korean history is still taught in history classes in the compulsory education courses for citizens of North Korea. The nation still retains military forces near the DMZ, but most of the military is congregated in the north where migratory zombies stream into the peninsula.
East Russia
The Apocalypse came, but did not affect Russia heavily except for the heavy collection of refugees and the new inaccessabilty to the west. Zombies have followed migrating refugees to Siberia, and some of these wander to East Russia's borders, where they are taken care of. The capital has been relocated to Vladivostok, and new government officials have been reelected. Should this new nation be connected to its western parts again, it intends to reunite with them to reinstall a unified Russia.
South Korea
Because of its close proximity to China, South Korea's shores were eroded by waves of infected refugee vessels. Outbreaks happened too quickly for the military, which was concentrated in the North along the DMZ, to respond effectively. Thus, millions were consumed within weeks. Hell broke lose when Seoul was attacked, and the rushing sea of cadavers gained hundreds of thousands of newly spawned monsters for their cause. Only few members of the government could escape, for they did not evacuate sooner due to misinformation from South Korea's generals. All measures were taken against the dead; all of the fit men were conscripted in for a few months. Millions of tons of steel and flesh were thrown at the undead, eradicating them for a heavy price. Nuclear weapons were unleashed on lost cities. After a few more months of clean-up, everything had returned to "normal." It should be noted that in addition to South Korea's military, the US military stationed there fought alongside their allied servicemen effectively.
To prevent more disasters like this, the South Korean navy watches the waters with high suspicion. The military is again concentrated at the DMZ, fortifying defenses in case North Korea exploits South Korea's weekness. The country is still rebuilding, and has a long way to go. Farming and mining became dangerous job due to zombies roaming the rural areas.
Japan
Refugee ships heading to the heavily populated port cities of Japan were not checked very well; Japan became easily infected due to its heavy density. The government, learning the mistakes made in Beijing's evacuation, ordered most of its citizens to evacuate away from the cities. However this became counter-productive because most of the cities' population survived before any hordes grew in them. Thus, the undead went after the escaping citizens, mauling them just as quickly if the carnage took place in urban areas. The death toll was almost great as that of China. However, the JSDF in turn destroyed newly turned and undead veterans with impunity due to Japan's easily defensible terrain and natural checkpoints.
Japan still retains many cities, and uses them for manufacturing. However, the cost of raw material has skyrocketed due to the break in globalization. Competition is kept quite low in the cities as many seek jobs for producing food. The empty cities of the nation are now very quiet places to live in, and survivors who work in them have access to the cities' more luxorious housing due to the low price of shelter and government management of abandoned property.
The Recovery League
Over the years the nations saw how dependent they were on eachother before the infection; exported goods meant alot to each nation except for North Korea. The zombie threat is still persistent; China and India's hundreds of millions of turned still wandered Asia. Shandong's economy was beginning to fail in addition to Japan's. Trade had resumed after the reorganizations of their nations, but in only limted amounts although North Korea opened up free trade. Food shortages were common in Japan and North Korea. To solve this problem, Shandong proposed a document to bind itself and her nieghbors under one flag, but still retain their regional powers. This would increase the military's dexterity, remove harmful trade taxes, and allow free open borders at all times for member nations. South Korea followed, then Japan, then Eastern Russia, and finally North Korea after years of pressure and popular unrest.
In order to make major international decisions, ambassadors of member nations meet up in Naha, Okinawa, where the city remains virtually untouched by the apocalypse due to the heavy US military presence during the infection. Recently, a joint military and diplomatic expedition was sent to Beirut and Malaysia to either forcefully take its valuable energy reserves or diplomatically engage to ensure trade. These nations have been unresponsive to telegram, telephone, and email, but the EARL needs more oil, although a decent number of barrels are being extracted from Senakaku and East Russia.
Recently, the EARL has confirmed the existence of an organized, but seperated, North America. Unsuprisingly, many, but not most,US military forces and other US expatriates were excited to hear news about their home. Because of this, the EARL has decided to contact the nations that have taken over North America for the admission of its citizens to their respective countries, along with the establishment of new embassies and diplomatic interests such as trade.
