How does it feel, when you first time join your first posting as an IAS, IPS or IRS officer?
You feel like flying!Every situation is a story, and there is no situation that cannot be better managed in terms of outcome by human intervention. A regulatory issue can be signNowly accelerated by automation and a development issue could be delivered by deft implementation.The IAS offers you two choices: do things and get things done. Both roles require knowledge, imagination and commitment. In short, it offers you the platform to design solutions. What makes me tick is my ability to spot missing links and create solutions.I joined as SDM Jharsuguda, a sub-division of undivided Sambalpur District on September 01, 1989. Now Jharsuguda is a District managed by a DM/SP. The first file that came to me was " Sensitive Booths for the General Elections 1989." What a situation! It was baptism by fire.When I convened a meeting of all the officers connected with the elections to devise a strategy, we found to our dismay that none had any previous election experience whatsoever! So there I was, fresh from JNU & Mussoorie; at the seashore of life.Every challenge contains within itself an opportunity and we set to work de novo. Those were the days of the ballot box and printed ballot papers. Polling parties, members of which are strangers to each other, had to be formed, trained, motivated and supplied with numerous items before being despatched in Trucks to polling stations, many of which are located in tough terrain and inaccessible areas.Our inquiry revealed that all across the State, the formation and despatch of polling parties took two to four days. We asked ourselves can it be done in a day? Can the departure of polling parties be engineered to accelerate this critical process?Research revealed that delay emanated from the fact that there prevailed a spartan boot camp mentality about the whole thing, and polling personnel were not made to feel at ease. On the Sunday morning of despatch I put the time of arrival at 8/30AM, half an hour before "Ramayan", whereas everywhere else it was 11AM, an hour after. My colleagues were aghast, each thinking of his own Ramayan.I said the solution is simple: we will put a dozen TV sets around so we can all begin on an auspicious note, what with on payment breakfast kiosks and tea on the winter morning. Whoa! That simple? Those days, superior bureaucrats were the stern type and this openness was a novelty. And it worked.Research further revealed that counters were opened item wise so that each team had to visit each counter making it a 15 motion affair. If we made it into a one motion affair we could cut down at least one full day. I said we will do it booth wise. With booth nos 1-50 getting all their items from counter A and so on. Simple? All innovation is.Whew! Our guys said sir jaldi karo so we can leave by 2PM, and have lunch on the way and signNow our destination by 8PM. Making them willing participants we did the despatch in a single day. We did the general election 1989 and the state election in 1990 within the same winter, innovating as we went along. Mind you , the sitting CM was from our Sub-Division, and I was his returning officer.I applied my methods in my subsequent postings as SDM Talcher, ADM Cuttack (undivided), DM Sundargarh and Mayurbhanj, and Divisional Commissioner Central Division. In Mayurbhanj, a massive tribal District with four subdivisions spread over 10,000sq kms, we did in a day what it took full four days on previous elections and the skeptics are shaking their heads till this day! I was election observer Raigarh, Thrissur, Jalandhar, & Howrah; and in every election I have left my unique imprint, and my successors have followed. If some of them did not acknowledge their debt to me, well it is all in the game! For me it is #IndiaFirst!

What was it like to serve in a battle tank in The Battle of Kursk?
Imagine, you're a Russian T-34 driver, your commander/gunner tells you to keep going no matter what or why. Before that, you slow down for your infantry pals to demount to take cover behind your tank's rear. Once you hear your top's excitement or fearful voice shouting: "Enemy tanks! Load fragmentation round! Ready armor piercing round in your hands!" while showing his loader open palm meaning HE then closed fist meaning AP. You hear your loader grunts as he loads the 1st round into the 76mm breech: "Ready!" Then holds an AP round on his lap. Your tank rocked but keeps rolling, you look through your slit and sees the leading Panzer’s left drive wheel flies off and trends goes with it. It looks strange and new, first time seeing that panzer, it looks big and has sloped armor on its front plus a long gun. At the same time, your loader sounds the breech is ready to be fired then immediately throws the empty shell out through his hatch to let shell gas not fill up turret, you can see the large red tracer round touches the Panther's front armor and bounces up into the air far away. It retaliates with a very fast round emiting green, your vehicle shakes and comes to stop. You hear screamings from the turret cage, you turn and look at your commander/gunner covering his head with bloody hands, then your loader who lost his legs then to your co-driver, best buddy for 2 years, upper torso isn't there. You see more light inside your tank. Then you feel hot and smell smokes, your tank engine is on fire! You try to unlock your heavy visor door, open it, you try to get out as soon as fast, drop to the ground. You hear lots of "clang-cling!" seeing small green tracers bouncing off your tank, trying to get you. You lie down, not knowing what to do. You look at another T-34, running over wounded soldiers, our own soldiers, not stopping, then its turret pops out of the hull, along with limbs of her crew throwing out of the hull while on fire. Other T-34 keeps rolling, some got destroyed. It’s like a field with fireplaces all over it. You feel ground shaking from co tinous artillery and mortar round impacts and loud clanking sounds from hundreds of T-34’s noisy tracks. You just saw your best friend's half of his body blown off, loader's upper legs exposed, then you hear your TC/gunner screaming while tank heats up. What happens next is unknown because you were shot in the head.What I described isn't even 10% of what it's like being a T-34 driver. To someone who pointed out my mistake (thank you!), readers are probably confused why there are 5 crew instead of 4 since I used terms people think there are actually a tank commander AND a gunner, not both. It’s a standard T-34 with driver, co-driver, loader and commander (acting as gunner too).Please note, I took some parts from memoirs of Russian tankers in WWII. The German's view on the Eastern Front is more gruesome because some Germans were scared of Russians due to their methods and tanks.I can recommend Wolfgang Faust's books on Kindle, they are memoirs so I'm not willing to consider what they say are to be facts. But hey, interesting perspective!Same goes for ‘T-34 in Action’ on Kindle. It’s a book about the writer who interviewed 12 T-34 tankers around 50–60 years after WWII so their memories may vary but at same time, provided perspectives not many have known or seen through it.

If gun laws don't change, is it possible to keep schools safe from shootings?
I have a possible change to existing laws that will help prevent not just school shootings, but all shootings. Obviously it won’t a stop them entirely, but it will help. A lot. It won’t even impinge on anyone’s right to bear arms. You ready? Make gun free zones actually be gun free. See, schools are gun free zones. New York doesn’t really allow private citizens to carry (I think the figure is like 5 private carry permits issued each year but im too lazy to go find the exact number right now). Hell, the only massive shootings that happened in a non-gun-free zone was the Vegas massacre. ALL the others were stopped very very quickly. See the Texas church shooting for an example. So, ignore most mass shootings happen in a gun free zone, clearly we are doing something wrong with those gun free zones. I propose, that in order for a venue to be considered a gun free zone, it must have - at the minimum - armed guards and metal detectors. If you are going to demand that I leave my gun behind and thus render myself less able to protect myself, then you damn we’ll be able to provide for my protection yourself.P.S. it is a wildly consistent fact that cities that have stricter gun laws (such as New York and Chicago) have a higher incidence of violent crime than more gun friendly cities of comparable size (like Dallas, for example) so the idea that a lack of firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens necessitates firearms in the hands of guards (or enormous police presence as the case may be) is a fairly we’ll supported one.

Which seemingly “nice” behaviour is actually a sign of manipulative/cunning behaviour?
Scenario 1Matt is at his buddy Jeremy’s show. After the performance, Jeremy slumps into the barstool next to him.Jeremy: Tough crowd tonight. (looks at Matt) So what’d you think of the show?Matt: (secretly thinks Jeremy’s band is very mediocre) It was awesome man, I loved it!Jeremy: (eyes lighting up) Really? That’s awesome! On nights like this, I get worried that maybe we’re the problem…Matt: Don’t be that way man, you guys are awesome. Just keep putting yourself out there and you’ll do great.Scenario 2Beth is sitting on Sara’s couch, crying about her breakup with James. Sara has her arm around Beth’s shoulders.Beth: It… just… seems… so sudden! We were getting along amazing, and then one thing goes wrong…Sara: (just spent six months watching Beth and James bicker, knows this is bullshit) I know honey.Beth: I didn’t even do anything wrong! I needed to know he wasn’t cheating on me, and a lot of girlfriends check their boyfriend’s phones…Sara: (thinks Beth acted crazy and is completely in the wrong) I get it. You did what you had to do, and he freaked out.Beth sobs harder and hugs Sara tighter. Sara pats her back.Scenario 3Karen is pacing back and forth in her kitchen, complaining to her husband, Ron.Karen: I was five minutes late. Five! And he reads me the riot act.Ron: (knows Karen was more than five minutes late) He’s a dick, babe. What do you want me to say?Karen: He says it’s the reason he won’t give me more leads. He’s worried I’ll be late to meet with them! I’ve never once been late to meeting with a lead.Ron: (knows this is bullshit) I know honey. You’re very diligent.Karen: He’s just such an asshole of a boss. He’s had it out for me since day one.Ron: (thinks Karen’s boss has a point about her chronic lateness) Total asshole. Let’s not let it ruin our evening.There’s a kind of lie which doesn’t tend to get classified as manipulative.“White lie.”“Stretching the truth.”“Sparing someone’s feelings.”This kind of lie often gets a pass because it’s told with GOOD INTENTIONS.But what are these GOOD INTENTIONS?Keeping the peaceNot hurting the other person in the short termSeeming like a supportive friend/relative/partnerNot rocking the boatNoble enough. Maybe even worth betraying reality. But let’s look at how these “white” lies affect the other person:Scenario 1Jeremy is close to an important realization about the quality of his band. This realization will be painful in the short-term, but will open longterm possibilities like changing careers, or practicing harder.Matt discourages Jeremy away from this realization.Scenario 2Beth has self-destructive relationship patterns. They make it vanishingly unlikely that she’ll end up in a happy, healthy relationship, even though she desperately wants this.Sara and the rest of Beth’s friends support her story that she’s awesome and the guys are the problem. As a result, Beth is constantly surrounded by a bubble of inaccurate feedback. Her friends justify this by saying that she wouldn’t listen anyway.Scenario 3Karen is chronically late, but she’s in a state of denial. The denial prevents her from addressing the problem and achieving more success at work.Her husband Ron enables her denial to keep the peace.When you season your loved one’s world with white lies, you deny them important gifts of love: Honest feedback. Straight Talk. The possibility of self-improvement. Freedom from destructive loops. A mirror of who they really are.And you’re doing it for entirely selfish and patronizing reasons.White lies are the height of manipulative/cunning behaviour. The fact that they’re told with a thin veneer of shallow altruism justifies nothing.

What are the signs of a good friend?
When it comes to this, I've had my fair share of both ups and downs!When you don't have to think while talking to someone, it's a sign you are friends.When you don't get awkward sharing your true self to someone, you are friends.When feel possessive about someone, you are friends.When you get jealous if your friend tags someone else in relatable memes, you are and will be friends!When you hit someone without a reason, you are friends.When you share that last drag of a cigarette or the last sip of your alcohol, you are friends forever!When you start hating a person if he or she gets into a relationship, you are friends!When you flush out your anger and frustration at someone and they don't complain, you are friends.When you blackmail someone, you are friends!I don't believe in the logic of best friends or best friends forever!Only because I treat them all as equals.And the concept of forever just feels like a fairly tale to be true. You can never guarantee whether a person will be with you forever. There are many external factors which might affect your friendship, as I've mentioned in point 7, people tend to drift away from the zone you've created! So BFF logic sucks and is too good to be true! However I've had some people who I think will always be there for me, in my bad times and the good ones!But then again, who knows what future holds for everyone? Right? Just sink in it!Friends are special, best friends are more than that!

Have you ever trusted the wrong person?
Yes. I think a better question would be, who hasn’t trusted the wrong person?Trust is a relative word, and it’s rarely absolute. It can occur on various levels. You may trust that someone will show up when you invite them to dinner—but you may not trust that same person to come feed your pet when you’re on holiday. And you certainly wouldn’t trust that person to take care of you if you fall ill.People demonstrate inconsistencies between their words and actions all of the time. You must be sensitive to the signs and signals that someone is trustworthy only up to a certain degree. Much of the time, we intuitively back away from people who have demonstrated they can only be trusted so much. I’m adjusting my trust bank right now, in fact. Someone I once trusted with my life has shown me that I can only trust him maybe 40–50 percent tops. I still trust him to keep my secrets. He would never intentionally harm or betray me. He cares about me within his capacity to do so. So he’s not exactly the first person I’d call after a cancer diagnosis, yeah? Not when there are other people I can depend on 100 percent of the time.So who do you trust? In their book Safe People, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend indicate that a sign of an untrustworthy person is that they demand immediate and blind trust rather than taking the time and steps to earn it. There are other indicators. Untrustworthy people apologize for a slight but don’t change their behavior, avoid facing (and rooting out) their big life problems, and become defensive whenever you provide constructive criticism.Human beings are inherently trustworthy. I truly believe that—just not to the full extent that we may prefer. There are three or four people in my life that I will go to the mat for because we have a life-long and consistent history of mutual trust and reciprocity. However, I will do what I can for the rest but not go out of my way because we don’t have a long relationship based on mutual trust and reciprocity.There are two things in life I can instantly think of that you can lose in a moment and never get back: trust and reputation. Most of the time, heartache happens not because you trusted the wrong person but because you trusted them too much too soon and had expectations of them that they won’t meet.Be present only for those who are present for you. That’s a fail-safe way to avoid trusting the wrong people and build relationships and friendships grounded in reciprocity.

What are some cultural faux pas a visitor to Germany might make?
Violating the privacy zone:Every German has a half meter imagined "bubble" around them, where it is usually considered impolite to enter. You don't move up closer than that in queues, you don't pass in front of them this closely etc., unless you're in a really full room and there's no choice.The privacy zone is quite an important thing you find everywhere, from queues, to all kinds of seating, to foot traffic. If you arrive with someone, you sit next to them, but leave a seat free on either side unless there is no other room. The funniest area is probably urinals, where people tend to choose opposite ends of the room, and then tend to halve the distances, until they have no choice but choose a urinal next to one that's already taken because the room is full.Simmilarly, sitting down at someone else's table is generally not done, but it isn't rude to ask if you can sit down in a full restaurant. But you keep the usual one-seat privacy zone so common in Germany, or failing that, make sure your chairs are moved more closely together to leave a gap to the other group. The exception being places where tables are generally very long and could seat lots of people, but you're only a few, like the benches in a Biergarten or some student cafeterias, where you can usually tell because the tables are set in one long line, touching. But again, then you usually try the next table or a more distant table first, and only when that's not an option move closer and ask if a seat is taken.Also, while it is perfectly fine to stay seated a while longer at a table in a restaurant and just talk after a meal, in busy restaurants you're usually expected to leave quickly so paying customers can come in.Avoid "How do you do?" as a greeting:In Germany, "Wie geht's?" is an actual question that requires an answer. People who want to cut it short usually answer "Fine", but usually it is considered to be a conversation starter, not just a greeting. So people can reply "good because
" or "bad because ". This is different from the US and UK, where you're not expected to give a detailed or nuanced answer.Also, greetings not directed at a person (e.g. in a shop or a bus) are usually considered a cry for attention (e.g. entering a shop saying "Hello?" is considered a call for a clerk to come, not a neutral greeting). Where in the US the clerk usually greets you, and you tell them you don't want help, in Germany personnel usually just stays on the sidelines, waiting for you to approach them.The exception are stores with an actual counter, or even solely consisting of a counter, like butcher's stores, where by just walking within range of the counter you're showing your intent, so they will greet you, and you should greet them.So usually, when you're in the field of view of a salesperson or next to someone on the bus, you greet them in a neutral, non-conversation-starting way (like saying "Hallo" or "Guten Tag"), and that's it. If you walk in past the bus driver, say "Guten Tag" and leave it at that, etc.Unless you know the bus driver or the bus is fairly empty and it's a quiet route, don't call out "Hello" to the bus driver from the back entrance, just like you would not run into the supermarket & call out a greeting to every cashier and everyone in the queue before you. All that is at best done quietly with "I see you and give you right of the road"-nods and the likes.I've never heard of greeting people in a line before, and never experienced it. The only place I've seen this done is in waiting rooms or train compartments (not counting a short mumble of commiseration when something's holding up a line). I think the difference is whether someone is facing towards or away from you. So when it's your turn at the register in the supermarket, say "Hello" to your cashier, before it's the next customer's turn, say "Good bye".Germans are not rude, they just don't generally like talking to the air and try to avoid starting conversations with people who might want to be left alone, usually erring on the side of caution where an English speaker would err on the side of talking.Hugging, Kissing, PDAs:Different from Jonas my experience is that these are not considered taboo. Many people in my generation and below (< 40) hug their friends. Kissing your and other PDAs are fine in Germany, too (though usually those require a spouse, see below for the exception), but if you're invited to someone else and are then constantly snogging your spouse, you're usually considered a bad guest, particularly when it's e.g. during dinner.Also, in some German-language areas (usually the ones closer to France, like Switzerland or Saarland), there's the custom of greeting friends and family with three short pecks on the cheek (e.g. right-left-right cheek). This indicates a certain level of familiarity, but doesn't imply any sexual relationships.PatriotismIn short, you can't say "I'm proud to be a German". Since the Nazi party used patriotism as one of its tools, it has too many negative connotations. Germans generally do not put up the German flag, or wear flag-colored attire (the exception being sports championships like soccer, but there it's effectively the team colors), even on October 3rd, the German unification day and our national holiday. It's just another day off during the year, and not a big family thing like July 4th in the US.However, Germans like being complimented on their scenery, their country's achievements etc. So, if you want to say something nice about the country, give a reason, like "I love the lush scenery in your city", and don't be surprised if Germans are a bit embarrassed about their constitution, political system. Or try "local patriotism" like saying whatever you meant to say about Saxonia, not about Germany as a whole.Don't jaywalkGermans are very anal about not entering via doors marked "exit", or exiting via doors marked "entrance", and about heeding traffic lights. The only reason that cars stop for pedestrians crossing on red is because an accident would cause their insurance premium to rise and they might get dragged in court for it.You will commonly find people waiting at completely empty intersections until the light turns green. The exception is when people are really and obviously in a hurry.But even then, a special circle of hell is reserved in Germany for people who cross on a red light in front of little children. That is setting a bad example for the youth, and will gain you angry stares from other people waiting at the light.The exception to this rule are bicyclists. In short, don't assume that any bicyclist will heed a traffic light.(Thanks to Fernando for reminding me of this one)Don't congratulate ahead of time, don't prophesize success or doomGermans do not like advance gratulations, it is said to be bad luck. If you can't be there for someone's birthday, call them on the day itself, or if that's not possible, on whatever next occasion, or give them a gift with a postcard inside, where they can read your wishes once the time has arrived. You can wish them all the best (i.e. "I hope all goes well", "Have a happy new year", "have a good weekend"), but a congratulation in Germany (like, oddly, "Herzlichen Glückwunsch") is something that doesn't happen until you know the outcome for certain.By the same token, it is considered arrogant (and among some people bad luck) to say things like "it can't go wrong". It's kind of the German way of conceding the existence of Murphy's law, I guess. Sometimes you'll hear the phrase "nur nicht berufen!" or "nur nicht verrufen!" in this context, rarely even accompanied by a gesture not unlike knocking on wood. -
If World War Z was real, what countries would survive?
This is an extract from World War Z Zombiepedia that covers what happened to the countries after the War .Ireland survived unscathed I guess the foot and mouth outbreak a few years ago though us how to deal with an Infectious disease . being an Island helps I guessGeopoliticsThe political map of the world changed over the course of the war. The superiority enjoyed by "Western civilisation" was completely up ended, and Cuba and Tibet emerge as the two powerhouse nations of post-war Earth. China went from being the world's most dynamic and rapidly growing economic power pre-war, to being one of the nations most severely damaged by the undead. Brooks' vision of this new world order is dark, with casualties in the billions, but as the world rebuilds, there remains hope.North AmericaExcept for a number of isolated safe zones (such as Omaha, Nebraska and Tallahassee, Florida), almost all of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains was overwhelmed by zombies during the war. The United States government fled to Honolulu, Hawaii, and the West Coast of the United States, which also included the state of Alaska. Became home to most of the nation's remaining human population, serving as a launching pad for the national reclamation effort. The United States also had a higher percentage of isolated pockets of survivors than any other country, attributed to the independent nature of American culture and the high rate of gun ownership (in contrast with countries such as Japan).Mexico was so weakened by the war that its army was incapable of liberating the country without assistance from the United States. Due to the thousands of zombies pushing up by land from South America, Mexico had to focus on securing its northern border while the US cleared its land area of zombies. Several groups of survivors had made a stand in old Spanish mission-forts and Aztec, Toltec, and Mayan pyramids. At some point, the country was renamed "Aztlán".To the north, Canada suffered much environmental damage during the Great Panic and the early years of the war as waves of refugees fled to the country's northern territories in order to escape the zombies. Cannibalism occurred after famine set in. Due to its vast land area, Canada could not hope to clear its own territory, so when the drive to reclaim the continent from the undead occurred, the remaining Canadian Armed Forces focused on securing the Canadian Rockies with help from the U.S. militia, while the United States cleared its own land area of zombies (just as Mexico secured the southern border). After the US was cleared volunteer forces joined the effort to clear out Canada and Mexico. Still, vast swaths of the Canadian sub-arctic still remain uncleared, with frozen zombies thawing out and threatening to start the infection once again.Cuba was notable in how well it fared during the great plague, due to several factors. First, Cuba had a state-funded wide-scale medical system, answered only to the Cuban government, so it recognized the true nature of the zombie threat occurred very early on (contrasting with the Phalanx debacle with the FDA in the USA). Cuba quickly implemented a strict quarantine and screening process to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Also, Cuba had a disproportionately large weapons arsenal (due to the Cuban military downsizing from 250,000 men to 50,000 men strong in the past ten years prior to the outbreak), and this was vital to their success at eliminating early outbreaks. Further, Cuba had limited incoming and outgoing travel due to its political isolation, resulting from the long standing trade embargo over forty years earlier. Cuba had developed a long-standing reputation as a dictatorship, and due this reputation it was not the first choice destination for many potential refugees.Cuba also enjoyed the basic geographical advantage of being an island nation. Other smaller Caribbean islands had this advantage, but their high travel rates and weak militaries meant that they were often not as fortunate. Some were overrun by the zombies (i.e. Barbados), while others collapsed due to fighting with armed refugees - "U.S. boat people" - trying to force their way in. The fierce resistance of the island natives, many wielding little more than machetes and small firearms, allowed Castro to set his own terms when the “modern-day conquistadors” eventually turned to Cuba for shelter, with its large and coordinated military defending its shores. At the same time that mainland countries in the Americas were falling apart during the opening months of the Great Panic, Cuba was already successfully under full military lockdown, and the zombies never gained a foothold in Cuba. The well-defended island nation eventually found itself as an attractive location for refugees from North and South America, and in a position to act as a safe harbor for ships from every major Western country. Only the most affluent, skilled or well-connected were allowed safe haven.Munitions factories and produce farms sprang up all over the island, and soon Cuba was flooded with foreign money. Refugees were put to work in these work camps, as a practical necessity to produce enough food to feed this massive influx of people (though many were happy to be safe from the zombies for the time being). The “Northerncubano” refugees soon found that the money-management and business skill that they had acquired in America were now in heavy demand, and the government had to institute a work-release program from the camps. With these waves of immigrants, mounting support for capitalism and an expanding middle class, Fidel Castro decided to move his government towards democracy, preside over free elections, and vote himself out of power as his last presidential act (taking full credit for the new freedoms of his people). This was partially to avoid being executed in the kind of national uprising that had originally put him in power, but mostly to avoid trying to manage the tangled political and social mess into which his country soon descended. Although by far the wealthiest nation in the post-war world, Cuba now has countless special-interest groups, as well as demonstrations and riots practically every day. Ten years after the end of the war, the Cuban peso is considered one of the few reliable currencies in the still-recovering world.South AmericaIn Argentina, zombies apparently overran the capital of Buenos Aires. Numerous references are made throughout the book to the "last broadcast" from Buenos Aires, which, according to one source, consists of a Latin singer singing a Spanish lullaby. French Guiana also appears to have been completely overrun, as evidenced by the comment, by the captain of the International Space Station that the Centre Spatial Guyanais(Guiana Space Centre) based in Kourou had been overrun. Chile was also attacked and attempted the use of napalm, which proved ineffective and devastated the wine producing regions. It also moved its capital to Ancud sometime during the war but it has since moved it back to Santiago. In Brazil, outbreaks began with organ transplant patients contracting the disease. It's notable that the majority of these organs obviously came from Chinese political prisoners. In Peru some survivors signNow the Incas strongholds of Machupicchu and Vilcabamba, only the last ones fight the infection. In the book, it is hinted that some survivors from throughout the continent escaped into the Amazon Rainforest, and are taking refuge in the trees.AfricaSouth Africa was the location of the first major publicly reported outbreak, in Cape Town; this is one of the reasons it was initially known as African rabies. South Africa was also the first nation to effectively combat the undead. Paul Redeker, an Afrikaner business consultant to the former Apartheid government, was asked by the government to draft a survival plan. Redeker, a logical man who felt emotion was the root of all mankind's problems, had been hired by the white Apartheid government to redraft the top-secret "Plan Orange", the genocidal plan for a possible doomsday scenario in which the black majority might rise up as one to overthrow the ruling white upper class. For his part in this, Redeker was still considered a racist war criminal (this possibly an allusion to Samuel P. Huntington's advice on South African security). When he presented his strategy to the presidential cabinet, it (and by extension, him) was almost rejected for its apparent ruthlessness, until Nelson Mandela, who had been the one to personally send for Redeker, personally vouched for him and his plan, claiming that despite his past, his plan would save the country and its people. South Africa instituted the Redeker Plan which became the basis of most nations' war time strategy.Post-war, South Africa has been merged into a larger union called The United States of Southern Africa. Its boundaries are not stated, but it is likely composed of the English-speaking southern African countries.The Middle EastBoth Iran and Pakistan were severely damaged in a nuclear exchange that was a corollary of a border skirmish involving refugees. Iran had been relatively safe from infection until thousands of infected refugees from India and Pakistan began crossing into Baluchistan (Iranian region bordering Pakistan). Iran demanded the Pakistani government take more control over their population and refugees. Iran responded by bombing several bridges on the border to prevent any more infected refugees from coming into the country. After a complete collapse of communication between Tehran and Islamabad, Pakistan (mentioned under false information) mistook Iran's operations into thinking the Iranians were annexing western Pakistan. Without any way of communicating to the Pakistan government, border skirmishes escalated until a nuclear war ensued, badly damaging both countries. This was ironic since everyone thought that Pakistan would use its nukes on India, not its Muslim neighbors, and that Pakistan had actually helped Iran develop its nuclear weapons.The only country to recognize the implications of the zombie threat early on, Israel literally walling off all of its land-borders with a massive perimeter fortification of reinforced concrete, simply dubbed "The Wall". All children of Israeli-born parents, non-Israeli Jews, and unsurprisingly, all Palestinians and descendants of 1948 Palestinians who lived abroad were allowed to seek shelter within Israel after careful screening. Originally, most of the world openly condemned them for these actions, particularly its Muslim-controlled neighbors, who claimed on the Al-Jazeera television network it was a Zionist lie and Israel was faking the story to cover up military retreats. At the very least, inviting in Palestinians before closing its borders prevented neighboring Muslim countries (who didn't believe in the zombie threat) from outright declaring war against Israel. Despite some difficulties, this self-imposed quarantine was a life-saving step for the country.In building the protective wall, the country's borders shrunk nearly to their pre 1967 size, due to the fact that the entrance to Jerusalem wasn't fortified. This was done to retract to a more defensible border, as well as (combined with letting Palestinians back in) an attempt to convince the world that the Wall was honestly being built as a defense against zombies, and not to secure territorial conquests. The loss of Jerusalem, coupled with the invitation of shelter to all Palestinians, sparked a civil war within Israel. The Orthodox Jew population rose up against Israel's coalition government, but are easily defeated by the Israel Defense Force (due to the fact that the rebels had previously refused military training on religious grounds). Like the United States, Israel established a coalition government during the zombie epidemic.After the outbreak, the Israelis and Palestinians have made peace due to the requirement of cooperation of Jews and Arabs, this leads to the creation of a new state known as "Unified Palestine".In Saudi Arabia, the royal family sets fire to their oil fields during the war. It is explicitly stated that their reason for doing this is unknown. This, among other events, contributed to both the rarity of fuel and extreme damage to the enivronment.EuropeIn France, an interview in the book talks about clearing the Catacombs of Paris, subterranean tunnels that have existed below the city since the times of the Roman Empire. During the Reclamation of Paris they were cleared, in what is regarded as one of the worst battles of the entire war. The French Army suffered heavy casualties. As a matter of restoring national pride, France refused to incrementally clear the zombies in Paris, and instead rapidly cleared out the city, knowing that they would incur massive casualties. As in Britain, many old castles reverted to their former usage during the war and held out through most of it. Many refugees had attempted to take shelter in the Palace of Versailles, not realizing that it was little more than a large fancy house. It apparently was overrun and suffered a devastating fire, and France later placed their wartime national monument on its ashes.Great Britain and its government appear to have survived relatively intact. The British "supreme command" is relocated to Scotland after establishing a massive defensive line along the Antonine Wall. The British Royal Family dispersed to Ireland and the Isle of Man. Scotland and Ireland were the main Safe Zones for the British Isles. Scotland was safe due to it's mountainous geography and the determination of their people.South of Scotland, many castles were used by survivors as safe zones. Queen Elizabeth II, at her own insistence, remained at Windsor Castle with a sizeable community of survivors, serving as an example for morale purposes in an effort reminiscent of her parents' efforts during the Blitz in WWII. She also gave all her estates to anyone who could signNow and fortify them. The base at Windsor began drilling an untapped oil well, which led to England being a major producer of oil after the war. Beaumaris, a village on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales was converted into a fully functioning castle against the undead. Before the war it was merely a museum "a hollow shell of roofless chambers and high concentric walls". Conwy, a coastal medieval walled town also in North Wales, served as a base from which British forces launched the Reclamation of Britain and allowed its inhabitants to live in safety and relative comfort during the stalemate years. Unlike France, Britain took its time retaking London in order to ensure minimal casualties, taking about five years to clear its capital. Britain also developed the system of "fortified elevated motorways" that became popular after the war.The island of Ireland fared particularly well, serving as a safe haven to the British Royal Family, the Pope as well as countless civilians. In the book, it is also suggested that the island was re-unified shortly after the end of the war, although whether by force or by agreement is unclear.Iceland is mentioned as being completely overrun and having one of the world's highest concentrations of undead, as it provided a haven for a multitude of refugees from Europe but had almost no military power to fight the spread of the undead. Finland was another zombie-overrun country. However, clearing operations were in progress at the time of the author's tour. Refugees came to Iceland and Finland so the zombies would freeze, but these countries could not handle the sudden influx of civilians and infected. The refugees didn't live to see the first winter.In Germany, the forces of the Northern Command established a safe zone behind the Baltic Sea-North Sea canal, sacrificing their "Rapid Reaction Stabilization" units as rearguard. This safe zone was a thin strip of land immediately south of Denmark. It is implied that the Southern command established a safe zone in the Bavarian Alps. Because Germany's major cities are heavily populated, and it has comparatively few geographical barriers on its borders, it can be assumed that Germany was one of the hardest hit countries in Europe.Russia was badly affected by the zombie outbreak. Owing to the country's size, the Russians were forced to contend with roaming zombie hordes from Eastern Europe, China, and the countries of Central Asia. The Russian military, despite being a signNow military power in the world, fared little better than the U.S. and Chinese militaries, and eventually it erupted into rebellion, in response to which the Ministry of Defense instituted a policy of Decimation. The Russian military retreated to a Safe Zone in Siberia, abandoning their territory west of the Ural Mountains, which due to its high population was heavily infected (combined with bordering the zombie hordes from other populous countries in Western Europe). The only real advantage Russia had was the mountains of weapons and ammunition left over from the Soviet Union. While this meant that the Russian military could continue to function even after most of their industrial base for producing new weapons was overwhelmed, it also meant that many units were sent into battle with nothing but WWII-vintage Mosin-Nagantbolt-action rifles . Such primitive weapons and the sheer size of Russian territory made it impossible to use the tactics employed in many other parts of the world, particularly luring zombie hordes toward reinforced squares. Instead, the fighting was characterized as a close-quarters brawl with massive casualties. Russia did have a second "advantage" of a sort in its old ally "General Winter": even the massive zombie hordes pressing north from China would be slowed by the colder temperatures of Siberia. Even so, after their massive losses in the first year of the war, the Russians had to resort to walling off their remaining cities so they coulld be cleared incrementally. The Russian population was so drastically reduced that even within the small remaining population, only a tiny handful of fertile women managed to survive through the end of the war, without succumbing to combat, malnutrition, abuse, drugs, or sexually transmitted diseases. With fertile women now considered a precious and finite resource, many volunteered for government breeding programs to serve as broodmares to attempt to make up for the drastic population loss. Ironically, while Siberia served as Russia's Safe Zone during the war - while zombie hordes from Western Europe battered the mountain passes in the Urals - Siberia itself was never fully cleared of zombies. Inherently, isolated zombies that froze solid in the vast unguarded wastes of Sibera would go unnoticed for years, so it is still technically a "White Zone" even a decade after the official end of the war. The United States and international task force offered to help clear Siberia, as it was doing in other parts of the world such as Canada and Finland, but the Russians refused to let foreign troops inside of its borders.Russia was eventually replaced by an expansionist theocracy known as the Holy Russian Empire. It is mentioned that they have regained several ex-Soviet states through conquest, including Belarus (though many of them had been so depopulated by the zombies that the Russians simply "liberated" them from the undead).Ukraine was forced to evacuate its government to Sevastopol. Stockpiles of Cold War-era chemical weapons were used to kill refugees (and stop the infected among them). The country is supposedly on the verge of a Russian takeover.In Spain, many refugees were able to survive in medieval castles. It can be assumed that the country's relatively low population density and the mountainous nature of parts of its territory helped these survivors to make it through the infection. Many of those who did flee chose Cuba, due to existing pre-war ties. Spain ended up better off than other parts of Europe and it is probable that it along with most of the Iberian penisula became one of the first safe zones.It is unclear as to what fate Portugal suffered, but it is safe to assume that its experience was no different to its neighboring country's own one.The Netherlands is mentioned. A number of survivors were hidding inside the Muiderslot (castle) until they fell victim to pneumonia and all perished.It is unclear what happened to other areas of Europe during World War Z. However, it can be assumed that countries in Central Europe survived in some form or another - especially in light of a reference to "Bohemia", which is currently a region encompassing the western two-thirds of the Czech Republic.It was said that many European countries dealt with the problem of incarcerated felons by dumping the prisoners into infested White Zones, something the United States refrained from doing, and for a very good reason. The environment of a prison makes an already amoral and violent criminal resourceful, constantly alert for danger, and able to improvise a weapon from anything. Many of these ex-cons not only survived the zombies, but also wound up commanding their own independent, and sometimes very powerful, fiefdoms. A few of these became so powerful that their former nations were unable to reclaim the territory, and the map of Europe had to be redrawn to include these new countries.AsiaChina was one of the hardest hit nations in the world, due in no small part to the zombie plague originating in China and its large and densely concentrated population, but also to the decisions of the ruling Communist Politburo. It is speculated that the zombie plague began in China because the Communist government was secretly researching the zombie-plague as part of a bio-warfare program, possibly based on zombie research carried out by Japan in China during World War II. The Chinese government did immense harm and greatly added to the spread of the infection by denying and covering up its existence during the initial outbreaks. China was paranoid that the zombie outbreak would be seen as a sign of weakness and an opening to invade China by its enemies such as Russia or the United States. Therefore, Communist China staged a massive military buildup near Taiwan to threaten invasion.This served as an explanation to foreigners for the large-scale military mobilization that was actually meant to combat the zombies. Further, it gave China the cover-story of "mass roundups of political dissidents" to explain to foreigners why so many people were disappearing off the streets, when it was actually due to roundups of localized zombie outbreaks. China's cover-up worked perfectly, fooling the international community, to the point that when the first publicly known zombie outbreaks occurred in South Africa (spread by Chinese refugees) the global population dubbed it "African Rabies", assuming it had originated there and not in China. By refusing to admit the truth of the zombie outbreak to the world, the Communist Chinese government aided its spread due to misinformation about what was actually happening.During the Great Panic, the leading Communist Politburo in China did not even try to use the Redeker Plan, or any variation thereof: instead of retreating back to a defensible perimeter, the Politburo simply sent wave after wave of soldiers to attack the zombies throughout China. The Politburo arrogantly refused to ever admit even to themselves that a single city had been totally lost to the zombies, even if temporarily, and instead disastrously divided Chinese military forces by trying to hold onto every city at once, never cutting their losses. Rapidly, the regular infantry of the People's Liberation Army was largely used up. However, as a PLA Navy admiral explained, any group of men that can be made to walk in a straight line, with a gun thrown into their hands, can make up an "infantry" army: after the trained regular army was depleted, the Politburo began massive conscription of civilians. This resulted in even worse losses; these untrained, green conscripts had even less chance against the zombies than the career soldiers. The situation was described as military police literally shoving guns into the hands of civilians, pointing at oncoming hordes of zombies, and ordering these new "conscripts" to attack the zombies or be shot. As the PLA admiral further noted, it did not seem that the Politburo even conceptually understood that every conscript they sent to fight against the zombies, who then got killed, would be reanimated as a zombie, and that they were exponentially increasing the number of zombies in China with this "strategy".The turning point came with the destruction of the Three Gorges Dam, which occurred about three years into the war. The Dam was overrun by zombie hordes, due to the military being stretched so thin by the poor decisions of the Politburo, which made the emergency pressure release valves impossible to signNow. Thus when a pressure release was required, no one could perform it. This eventually results in the Three Gorges Dam rupturing, resulting in a massive tsunami which races to the ocean, destroying what remains of Wuhan, Nanjing, and Shanghai. Following this pinnacle of ineptitude by the Politburo, more than half of China's remaining military units mutinied and began a Chinese Civil War. During the initial Great Panic in China, Captain Chen, the captain of an advanced Chinese ICBM-armed nuclear submarine deserted, running away from port with his crew and their families inside of the submarine and hiding in the Pacific (fearing that all humans on land had been totally overrun in the early months of the infection). The rebel faction eventually linked up with this last remaining Chinese nuclear submarine (with another sub commanded by Cpt. Chen's son no less), and they used its ICBM complement - originally designed to destroy the NORAD base in the United States - to destroy the Politburo's own command bunker, ending the civil war.After the loyalists surrendered, the first act of the new Chinese government was to finally implement the Redeker Plan. The new Chinese Safe Zone was established north of the Great Wall of China, which was hastily reinforced with any available materials in only three months. Many worked themselves to death rebuilding the wall, and many thousands more died in the south, when as part of the Redeker Plan they were intentionally left behind to their deaths in order to distract the zombie hordes from the Safe Zone. The new Chinese government that overthrew the Politburo realized, however, that it needed to establish its legitimacy in the eyes of the people, and that the best way to do this was to simply tell them the truth. They were honest with those left behind in the south that they were doomed, but that this was the country's only remaining option after the mess the Politburo had caused. Parents voluntarily stayed behind while they sent their children to the Safe Zone, knowing that their sacrifice would aid their survival. Many also willingly worked themselves to death rebuilding the Great Wall, knowing that just like the soldiers sacrificing themselves on the front lines, their sacrifice contributed to the Safe Zone's survival.The disastrous decisions of the Politburo, however, left China one of the world's least populated nations and the last to be totally cleared of zombies, 12 years after the first outbreak. For example, the Chongqing metropolitan area, which boasted a population of 35 million before the zombie outbreak, is stated to have a post-war population of merely 50,000.This eventually led to the establishment of a capitalist democracy as the United Federation of China. With the abolition of the Communist regime, Tibet gained independence. It is the most populous nation, the result of refugees hiding successfully in the Himalayas, and its capital city of Lhasa is the most populous city in the post-war world.Japan was signNowly affected by the zombie outbreak. The country was incapable of defending itself due to its limited military and natural resources, and high population density. The Japanese Self-Defense Force ordered an evacuation of the Home Islands, resettling in Kamchatka. During this, Tomonaga Ijiro, a blind gardener and "hibakusha" had exiled himself to the Hiddaka Mountains. For months he managed to survive against the increasing number of zombies he began to encounter armed only with his gardening shovel. When he ran into Kondo Tatsumi (a computer nerd who had managed to fight his way into the wilderness armed with a WWII-era katana), Tatsumi updated Tomonaga on Japan's evacuation. Tomonaga was struck with a divine inspiration, where the two, along with whatever survivors they could find, would "cleanse the garden of Japan” of the undead “pests.” After the war, Tomonaga's "Tatenokai" (Shield Society; not the same Tatenokai that had tried to stage a coup in the 1970s) had proven so effective that it became an official branch of the Japanese Defense Force, and proudly maintains a non-firearms policy.India enacted its own version of the Redeker Plan and retreated to the Himalayas, and was prepared to deploy nuclear weapons to achieve this. Fortunately, General Raj-Singh managed to manually detonate the C-4 charges that sealed off the mountain pass. His troop formation in the Battle of Gandhi Park was later adopted into the battle doctrine of other wartime nations.South Korea faced a difficult struggle, suffering a major defeat comparable to Yonkers at Incheon, a situation compounded by the Defense Ministry's insistence at keeping half their armed forces along the DMZ to prevent a possible North Korean invasion. During the Great Panic, South Korean intelligence officials noticed that the population of North Korea was disappearing. There were suddenly no North Korean spies, and North Korean border troops at the DMZ and Panmunjom, along with farmers and "volunteer workers", were seemingly disappearing in North Korea. This culminated in every North Korean vanishing from the face of the Earth. It is believed that they all went underground into the labyrinth of tunnels dug beneath the country. Whether or not they remained safe from infection is unknown, as the North Korean border is so booby-trapped against invasion with automated "revenge weapons" that practically no one is willing to take the chance to go in and find out, except for the South Korean Intelligence Ministry. It is left an open question what happened to the North Korean people, but there are two scenarios: The first is that the North Korean leadership convinced them that the surface world was utterly overrun with zombies, forcing them to stay in an underground empire where their leaders exert greater control over them than ever before. The other scenario is that zombies were able to infiltrate their bunker complexes and infect all of them, resulting in over 20 million zombies bottled up underground, waiting to be let loose by the unwary.The South PacificThe government of Australia was moved to the southern island of Tasmania.There is mention of Maori resistance to a zombie onslaught in New Zealand, centered in the Auckland suburb of One Tree Hill. There, five hundred Maori were able to take down half of the Auckland horde using only traditional weapons.The so-called "Pacific Continent" consists of a large number of refugee communities which occupy various islands in the Pacific Ocean. During the war, the Pacific Continent also had survivors who lived on boats, rafts, and in ragtag "fleets". Many ships were infested by zombies during their escape, and were the source of the many zombies who ended up on the ocean floor.
