and international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (Zurest has found 1 easter eggs).

Does this count IC? I have zombified superhuman soldiers. Can you only kill one of my men by destroying their brain? Or are issues such as those ones void in RP?

That's up to the people with whom you RP, there's no fixed rule.

Depends whether you use them for the sake of writing a good, different zombie-inspired RP, for the sake of having a sort of caricature and parody-like NS IC... or for the sake of winning. If you want to use such issue's outcome for the latter, you'll likely be ignored by most Modern Tech NSes.

I participate in realistic modern roleplays. As previously stated, depends on who you roleplay with. If you joined one of mine like that, I'd refuse to recognize you. Join a person who likes that sort of thing, and sure it can be canon.

Pretty much what others have said - on the flip side of that, I generally try to choose my issues to match my nation, not the other way around. That way I have no weirdness bits creeping in that wouldn't usually happen - so long as I'm careful in my choosing at any rate.

You'll run into a plethora of preferences out there - best of luck figuring out where you have the most fun playing. :)

From my point of view, your soldiers can think they're zombies or superhuman or Napoleon or the Queen of the May. They won't be treated any differently.

Does this remind anyone else of Battalion War's Iron Legion?

This reminds me of a RL history about one of the independence wars in Africa, where the guerrillas would go to a shaman to be blessed with "bulletproof magic", and they actually believed in it.
