I guess Antarctica didn't do well last year and our delegate wanted to improve that, so we coordinated easily. Also, one of us wrote a script to check which nations needed the most urgent help.
Please give me that script for the next Z-day. We managed to find a cure and help everyone, but the region is growing slowly but steadily. I'll be sure to credit the one who created it; and that script would be a good alarm system as to "oh heck someones embracing teh zombos" or "oh heck someones almost overrun by zombos".
In all seriousness, though, if most of your nations in the region are inactive, no-one's spamming puppets, and everyone within is willing to cooperate and find a cure/kill everything, then it can be as fun as ever. The large "feeder" regions, however, aren't so lucky. Even if they DID just close the borders, newer, unsuspecting nations who just spawned in could still appear and become another target for those zombie horders.
In short, the nations who had more population and embracing the zombies, and the ones who had a f*ckton of puppets were at a significant advantage, since the development status of your hordes is directly impacted by the amount of zombies you have. Thus, they could get Things significantly faster, and convert basically every nation within the region to exporters, turning it into a zombie-infested madhouse.
If I were in charge, I would just make superzombie development similar to military or cure. That way, everyone develops at the same pace, and so people who are simply curing or exterminating can shut down every horde before they have a chance to convert everything. I didn't exist by the time of the last Z-day, but from what I can tell the "immediately switch to zombie exportation" thing is a little too overpowered as well. Maybe cut that in half.
You'll have to ask Toneor for the script if you actually want it, as I don't have it and only the webpage that displays results (doesn't fetch them) is on Github as far as I can tell.
