They called it 'The Outbreak'. Such a pitiful name for something that would shatter the world into a thousand pieces, decimating the population, and even pull technology itself to a screaming halt as the world tried to reorganise its life.
Humanity, however, is ever-resilient. The same traits that allowed us to become the dominant species on the planet ensured that we survived what was once thought to be its end. New countries and nations emerged, new powers and leaders of the desperate and hopeless sprung up from the cracks in the Earth.
In New Australia, a new government was created with the creed 'Humanity First'. These two words became the rallying cry of the people. A new world rose from the ashes of the old where people could live again and where a human could be born and live their life free in the knowledge that they need never fear the horrors of The Outbreak.
Finally, humans were safe from the zombies.
Everyone understood that the price of safety is freedom. However, what could be said is that the New Australia's city-states effectively run by Humanity First were very, very safe.
As for freedom, though, well..., that was another matter entirely.
