Zombie Survival in your nation

Postby Excidium Planetis » Thu Oct 27, 2016 7:55 pm

Alright, this is the internet, we've all seen those discussions about how you would survive the zombie apocalypse. Everyone has their own ideas about how to best escape death by the dead.

But what about in your nation? How do citizens in your nation react to the zombie apocalypse? Do they sit tight and wait for the government to bail them out, or do they go it alone? What weapons do they use? Do they embrace the apocalypse as a sign from the Great Death God?

In Excidium Planetis, most citizens go it alone: after all, the vast majority of them are gun owners, and well armed. Plus, the government probably abandoned them all to save themselves.

The preferred weapon of choice for survivors is your common rocket pistol. The semi-automatic fire allows ammo to be conserved, and the guided rocket rounds allow headshots to be achieved much more easily than on a regular firearm. Citizens who have run out of ammunition or lack such a weapon resort to using various makeshift weapons, mostly constructed from knives and spaceship parts.

With religious beliefs on short supply, the apocalypse is viewed as a mere biological weapon, not some kind of supernatural event.

In The Forsworn Knights most civilians form small paramilitary militias due to the compulsory two years of military service and heavy military culture influencing the populace. The most popular firearms among these militias are the 'Golden Dragon Arms N85 Assault Rifle', and the 'Golden Dragon Arms NP45 pistol' produced by the foreign-owned 'Golden Dragon Firearms' company. The Forsworn Military has taken up a strategy of allowing the citizenry to clear out the undead, before then exterminating any militias that may attempt to form a violent revolution against the government- a practice commonly carried out by at least one of these small armed bands each year.

Our society is nothing if not staunchly collectivist. The vast majority of our citizens simply would not know how to make it alone. Even if they did have the necessary supplies, overcoming the psychological hurdles of abandoning one's comrades and family is, for most, simply not in the cards. As such, the prevailing plan for those not being evacuated to government shelters is to simply barricade and hide until the situation is handled by the government.

Most citizens are reasonably well equipped. Four years of continuous apocalypse means that most households have their own cache of supplies. In addition to fourteen days of rations for each member, every household will have issued an emergency radio for instructions from the local government. Universal conscription means that anyone who has graduated knows how to defend themselves. The fact that fencing is the national sport also means an above average proportion of citizens know how to use melee weapons, and many even have training foils at home.

Despite the government's having repealed the ban on privately owned firearms, most citizens who have not completed military service do not know how to use a gun. Fewer still own one. Even so, the local militias have taken to passing out outdated or surplus rifles, particularly old bolt-action rifles, decent enough for sharpshooters, and the J-10 carbine assault rifle used by the People's Defence Forces. The latter has fully automatic, semi automatic, and burst fire modes. Molotov cocktails and improvised explosives are also reasonably popular as an area denial weapon, much to the annoyance of reconstruction officials. Still, melee weapons reign supreme, with swords and blunt weapons comprising most citizens' go to idea for self defence.

With an officially atheist government and a robust public education system, the zombie virus is widely accepted to be a simple virus, possibly weaponized by a foreign government, but probably just bad luck in a world where bad things always seem to happen. Privately some citizens believe that the virus may have some supernatural or ethereal property which allows it to evolve and infect with such vigor, but such musings are generally dismissed as irrelevant when voiced in public.

They do it alone. Most civilians are very well armed with military weapons, but the main ones stopping zombie infection are the vigilante groups. Cities are well protected but the wilderness outside is not safe, preventing trade. Vigilante groups are the only ones with plans to stop them. We see the zombies being very unholy and dark, and will do whatever we can to stop the hordes with our more holy ways. The zombies we stop are piled up and burned to stop infection.

Citizens are to retreat from major urban centers into the green belt, where emergency bunkers are already prepared. They are prepared to house 500 citizens on multiple floors, with each floor having a remotely operated section lock.

Citizens must also establish, under National Karjin Armed Forces supervision, militias to guard their respective emergency bunkers, as well as the farms that will provide them with food for the duration of the disaster.

If military personnel is unavailable or otherwise unreachable, the highest-ranking officer before retirement (2 years Military Service is compulsory) is put in charge of a specified emegency bunker, with a council of 10 officers per 5000 Peoples.

Citizens are usually armed, as concealed carry laws are relatively relaxed and semiautomatic weapons require graduation from the military, a license, and a psychological evaluation.

For a disaster of this magnitude, a one-week grace period will come into effect for people who were unwilling or unable to evacuate. If contact is not made with the outside after this grace period ends, all survivors within the cities are considered renegade elements and will be subject to arrest, search and seizure, indefinite incarceration, and death.
The duty of the People is to be proud of their country. The duty of the Government is to ensure that their pride is well founded.

In New Axiom, the zombie causing agent-known here as the Lazarus Virus-is a very Ellis known and understood thing. Every year around Halloween an outbreak occurs, not unlike the Flu during flu season. During the outbreak, citizens usually stay indoors. In major cities, megablock apartment buildings are locked down and are virtually unbreachable. Smaller apartments are locked down in a similar manner and since everyone lives in an apartment of some form, everyone is generally safe unless caught out on the street.

The homeless are the most vulnerable, however. Usually in day-to-day life homeless people are round up by the State Police anyways as begging is a crime, as is not having a job in some form, so homeless people are untrustworthy of authorities. This causes a problem, but during the major outbreak, homeless people are simply left alone, at least in major cities. However, if their area where they live is evacuated they are invited along.

Rural areas are generally safe, but apartment buildings here still lock themselves down.

Along the national freeways, roadblocks are set up and manned by the Homeland Defense Force, and nationwide travel is suspended.

Moving around in any way accross the country, city, or small town within the empire is prohibited for 48 hours after the start of Z-Day, becuase of a nationwide curfew. Because anyone with enough sense will stay in their apartment, this curfew helps authorities fight the infected more effectively and not worry about collateral damage, and this also slows the spread of infection drastically.

All Hospitals and emergency rooms are closed. The Ministry of Health usually constructs camps on the outskirts of major cities and uses them as trauma centers, where anyone with life threatening illnesses or injuries can get emergency treatment. Lazarus-infected individuals are put into a special part of the camp and administered experimental drugs, or euthanized by the military.

In general, Zombie Survival for many individuals involve riding it out in your home, safe and sound.
Everyone has a plan until the New Axiom Imperial Army comes. Then everyone is just like, omigawd. Run.

First priority is citizens and government officials; they are led into the bunkers. While this happens, the military prepares several defensive lines and fortifications, usually around major cities. These will be later declared as safe zones during the apocalypse. Military tactics against zombies include single-burst flammable rounds against the heads of the undead, electric fences, trenches, "biological weapons" (maggots and other decomposers), and as a last resort, heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, and improvised melee weapons. Armored vehicles are converted to mobile bunkers, while helicopters will airlift any trapped or wounded personnel. Special forces are stationed from skyscrapers to sight, and provide support.

As for civilians, they can make use of their concealed firearms and the experience they have from compulsory military service. They can also provide support from fortifications or the front line, when necessary.

Usually, the zombies may come from the graves or the hospitals, so we quarantine those and keep most people away from there. The hard part is dealing with patients and any citizens outside the safe-zone during the apocalypse.

During the apocalypse, our scientists will try creating a cure.

All Super states and cities will receive warnings and plans from the Government. As for the civilians most will head to the refugee center and await further instructions while some will get out of the city with any means necessary even having to violate federal law. Lockdown will commence And apartment buildings will quarantined by Police if they find 2 or 4 people infected in buildings otherwise they will be left alone.

If police cant handle the situation anymore the US national guard will be sent in to restore order and help police. If its not working Statewide Martial law will declared and the Armed forces will be sent in to do the same thing but with more stricter Laws. Civilians tend to use Rifles,shotguns,pistols and Semi auto rifles But for some used Assault rifles and will barricade there homes. If all plan fails the government will issue an order to
firebomb or Nuke any state if has to weather if theres people or not.

While government,Scientists and most people will view the zombies as either Crazy people or just plain zombies Religious people will see it as the end of the world and God teaching earth a lesson of their "Sins". As of right now everybody in the US is optimistic of zombie apocalypse but news of the quarantine LA arena sports center says otherwise

We're Japan. First sign of zombies overseas we close all borders, no air traffic in or out, none by sea either, military units posted at ports, airports and smaller airfields then we just ride out the apocalypse in seclusion, any attempted entry is met with fierce and stiff military resistance. I.e. shelling, anti-aircraft batteries, SAM sites launching missiles. ...But at the first sign of a localized zombie virus breakout we'll g-bomb a city and then napalm bomb the areas around it.

We discovered that there is a good reason why we have the German shepherd as our national animal. These lovable dogs just can't stand zombies. The slightest smell of one makes them all agitated and they will go track them down and then just tear them to shreds. The virus dies and doesn't affect the dogs at all. So not really a problem in Mercian Anarchies except for the street cleaners because bits of zombies smell awful.

Everybody in the nation owns some form of weapon, including mini guns and flamethrowers, although it is more expensive.(Ammo included)

Most of the time, unlike certain nations where politicians evacuate first, the first people to evacuate to the underground bunkers are scientist of all kind, more specifically, botanist and every scientist specializing in certain sciences to counter mutants, although the first person to enter the bunker would be the imperial leader.(Don't ask what happened to the family on the surface, we don't know and we don't really care.)

The second people would be weapon designers and engineers as the bunker contains weapon making facilities, with a mass production plant.

The citizens would mostly opt to stay on the surface, although there is a period where they can enter the bunker, they would rather stay on the surface due to it being their first time, and as such would like to murder for once. Back at the main capitals, the island is virtually impenetrable due to all citizens and even workers owning at least a handgun equipped with a sight, and those without sights are to go their closes gun shop and equip it with a sight for free(For the first time at least). While the floating capital would depart to another atoll out at sea that hasn't been infected yet, and would then be docked there until the problem is resolved.

All paramilitary groups are to keep their fellow citizens safe, and direct them all to quarantine zones.
These zones will be heavily guarded, and anyone infected will be locked in complete isolation and used to test possible cures.
Patriotic music will be played on all radio stations to keep the populace fighting. Yuflijan may also attempt the weaponise the epidemic, for use against Nazi Germany and the USA.

All in all, zombies will be herded into defeatable groups, and locked down.
