The North Pacific Zombie Strategy (Last update: Tactical Zombie Elimination Squads @ October 31, 00:00 EDT)

What's happening?

As you may have noticed, some odd creatures have started making their appearance around residents of our peaceful region. They are not tourists. They are not aliens. They are not even new, technically speaking. They are your and my friends, who have been turned into zombies. That's right: there is a zombie epidemic!

That sounds serious and I am scared! What do I do?

Have no fear! We have been foretold of this development and have prepared for it. We know there is a cure - or at least we can research one. And just two days ago, we decided that The North Pacific will dedicate all its resources towards find it.

We will be using this dispatch to post the details of our plan and instructions for all of our nations. Be sure to check the dispatch frequently, as we will be adding stuff as things progress. To make it easier to keep track of changes, we including the last change and time of last update in the title.

That's promising! What do I do first?

The very first thing you should do is start researching a cure. Here is how to do this:

I also have these cure missiles. Whom do I shoot?

At your nation's zombie controls, you will see from time to time that you have cure missiles available. You can launch them at some other nation by going to that nation's page and selecting the "Cure Missile" button at the bottom.

You should use your missiles to try to cure other nations, especially big ones, researching a cure. But you should also make sure not to target nations actively using their own missiles, as doing so prevents them from launching any further missiles!

Here is how to quickly find suitable targets for your missiles:

I hate these zombies. Shouldn't I be killing them?

You should not select the option to exterminate the zombies. Doing so takes away resources from researching a cure, and therefore considerably delays when one will be available. Furthermore, zombies increase at a much faster rate than you can exterminate them.

There is only one feasible option: Research a cure!

I went with extermination anyway, and now I'm getting these Tactical Zombie Elimination Squads. What do I do?

If you chose to exterminate zombies instead of researching a cure, you can still help us keep the region safe. You can do these using the Tactical Zombie Elimination Squads that will become available at your nation's zombie controls. You can launch them at some other nation by going to that nation's page and selecting the squad button at the bottom.

You should use your squads against nations exporting zombies. Here is how to quickly find suitable targets for your squads:
