World Overview
It is January 1, 2015 and the world is still much the same, minus a few details. The United States is at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Things are getting worse in Libya as well as North Korea. China is a little more democratic and Cuba has become a Democracy. But other than those things the world is still the same.
United States
The United States has elected a new president, named John Walker. A 48 year old Catholic male. He is of Scottish decent and he has been voted in in 2014. The Republicans have taken over the White House and Congress and the Senate. Much of the to do about the government is around the fact that North Korea might be invaded soon due to the fact that images from a predator drone have shown nuclear test sites and construction facilities. The U.N. has requested for them to stop but they will not.
Under the cover though scientists are working on a serum, one that has potential to cure cancer. This is all taking place near a military lab making chemical weapons and nuclear cures incase of nuclear war. The combination of these chemicals will release a hazerdous toxin that when touched by skin will cause the person to pass away temporarily only to come back as flesh hungry zombies.
(PS The serum will be combined toward the end of this RP year. That is when the first infected Subject 1 will get out and start the infection and the end of the world)
