Sancay's Worldbook: Drowned Earth

The year is 205X, marking the "Archipelago Era" after the failed medical trials of "Project Chimera" turned 90% of humanity into zombies . The world is now defined by extreme geographical survival and a gritty, political struggle for resources .

Rules of Survival

The Water Rule: Zombies cannot swim and will sink due to pressure, making islands the only safe havens . Continents are considered completely dead Red Zones .
Animal Vectors: Animals are immune to turning but act as deadly carriers of the virus .
Rotten Reefs: Drowning zombies pile up on the ocean floor in coastal areas, creating massive underwater corpse-mountains .

The Calorie Economy

Traditional gold and fiat currency are considered "Tier 1 Trash" and used as fishing weights .
The world operates on the Calorie Standard and Energy Credits .
Premium goods (Tier 3) include coffee beans, chocolate, antibiotics, and working hard drives with movies .

The infected are known as "Echoes" because the virus echoes the host's former personality . They operate on a Dual Core kill condition: destroying the brain only lobotomizes them into a mindless "Drone," while destroying the heart kills the body permanently .

Standard Threats

Strategist: Formerly intelligent individuals who use cover, set traps, and wear makeshift armor .
Juggernaut: High-mass individuals whose skin and bones have calcified into biological plating, immune to small arms fire .
Broodmother & Runts: A rare mutation creating a biological factory that spawns feral, vent-crawling "Runts" that eventually mature into fast Stalkers .

The Behemoth (Tier 3)

Considered an Apex Predator and possibly Patient Zero .
A massive, fused biomass standing over 4 meters tall, capable of commanding hordes .
Small arms are useless; destruction requires tactical nukes or bunker busters .

The Rice Kings

The New Aristocracy comprising nations like Indonesia and the Philippines .
They control the "Three Gold Standards": Rice, Biofuel, and Safe Islands .
Indonesia acts as "The Shield" and military powerhouse, while the Philippines acts as "The Merchant" controlling global goods .

The Sunset Remnants

Former superpowers like the UK, USA, and Japanese Remnants .
They possess high-tech weapons but are suffering from famine, forced to export their weaponry to the Rice Kings for food .
The UK is reduced to a Client State known as "The Workshop," enduring 14-hour factory shifts for ration cards .

Key Hubs & Outcasts

Madagascar (Noah's Ark): Aggressively neutral and strictly bio-isolated, serving as the world's only producer of natural medicine .
Silverline Couriers: A strictly neutral guild of extreme smugglers transporting physical SSDs and data via stealth hydrofoils .
Ghosts (Hantu): Feral survivors, cannibals, and trap-masters who live in the ruined Red Zones and reject society .
