The Blighted North - Quickstart Guide

What happens when America tries to annex Canada and accidentally creates the most polite zombie apocalypse in history?

It's 2025. America wants Canada's lithium. Diplomacy fails. Chemical weapons seem like a good idea. Spoiler: They're not.

Now Canada is full of zombies who still queue politely, say "sorry" after biting you, and stop attacking when the national anthem plays. It's the apocalypse, but with better manners.
