Background

Z-Day is a simulated zombie pandemic. Originally an April fools prank, it was first described by site owner Max Barry in 2013 as "a mild uptick in infection rates of a flu-like illness"- Since then, the zombie pandemic has since become an annual Halloween event. From the first iteration, Barry has said that he believes "since everybody would be better prepared for the apocalypse" the site should "ramp up the potency of zombie exporters", which has been reflected in the increasing difficulty of each year.

In 2022 with the creation of the manual recruitment program and the additional region of Concord, the NationStates community of The League spanned across over 1000+ nations, creating new logistical challenges in both dealing with the zombie disaster itself, as well as effectively communicating to gameside residents how to best prepare.

Preparations

Council Resolution Bill #21-A Preparedness Provisions Act was drafted on 25 September 2022 and was voted into effect by the Council of the Republic as Council of the Republic Law 34. The legislation called for the creation of "a committee of concerned citizens" at the beginning of October, and on 10 October 2022 the Z-Day 10 [sic] Taskforce was opened to signup requests. A total of eight people signed up.

An official guide, Do Not Panic- Prepare, was published in both Concord and The League on 28 October 2022 as the event drew near, outlining the basic mechanics of Z-Day and steps nations could take to protect their citizens.
