to me since practically everyone will have to be working an important job like farmer, miner, fisher, etc
people wont be able to spare a few people to be bureaucrats and politicians in there settlement so i have what i think could be a good type of government that will be easily set up and will give people good amount of political freedoms so they wont freak out it will be called a Unitary Presidential Democracy Distribution of power: there shall be 2 main branches of the government the Presidential branch and the Citizenry branch the presidents powers: will be head of the government and head of state will be allowed to veto new laws, and help make them, is tasked with keeping order and leading the people and the military, allowed to declare war with consent of the masses. democratic council: rather than having people elect representatives to represent them in a congress people represent themselves in town meetings they shall be allowed to make and get rid of laws, allowed to give consent to the president to declare war and make peace . as long as they are at legal age they can vote in the town councils if i made a settlement it you would be aloud to vote from age 20-80 years old this will for a while how the government shall be run till your population increases way too much that people need to make a congress so this is more temporary for settlements between sizes 100-10000 so who thinks it sounds good you can choose the presidents term how ever you like.

I'm just asking for your guys opinions on after the infection or whatever has ended on empires? because it seems to me like a good idea for certain reasons.
A couple of benefits: 1. if you have conquered all the local factions in your area that would effectively end warfare and bring peace and unity among your people. 2. allows you to gain a lot of power with virtually no opposition since you have already destroyed all your enemies in your invasions. 3 finally the main good thing would be you could bring a sense of normalcy in a large area like creating your own single local currency or something. So i just want the rest of your guys opinions on what are the pros and cons of making an empire

We shall hold true the belief that all citizens are equal and that all citizens at the moment they are conceived shall inherit unalienable rights for they and their government of their choosing shall protect.
1. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness 2. The right to a free and truthful press 3. The right to petition and assemble 4. The right to an education 5. Protection from unreasonable search and seizure without proper reason, and protection from being forced by the government to quarter troops during peace. 6. The right to freedom of speech, and to express their opinions. 7. Habeas corpus, and protection from being forced to testify against ones self. 8. Right to bear arms. 9. Right to a fair and speedy public trial, and protection from double jeopardy within a time frame of 1 year unless for sufficient reason. 10. Private property of individuals may not be seized by government without owners consent and they must be compensated fairly. 11. Freedom of religion. 12. Slavery and involuntary servitude unless as punishment shall be banned indefinitely. 13. Forced military service shall be considered a form of involuntary servitude and will be strictly prohibited by the government to enact at any time indefinitely. 14. That the bill of rights may be added upon in the future by the national assembly and through referendum. 15. Powers not delegated to the central government nor prohibited by it will be reserved to the people. 16. all citizens who are at least at the age of 20 years will not be allowed to have their right to vote taken away from them based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. Just asking for your opinion do you think there are to many rights or not enough do you believe it gives to much freedom or not enough share your opinion freely and speak your mind without fear of persecution.

First of,great article you really did your homework.
I would say that most likely,the form of government would be the following two things: The Former Governments and Corporations will undoubedtly attempt to secure themselves, within underground bunkers and out at sea.They will try and maintain some form of rule,and occasionally flex their muscle.They will usually have MORE than enough space and resources to help out their citezens,but will usually decide not to.They will attempt to reverse the effects of Z-Day. The other form is survivalist and raider,small to large bands,who either travel in large convoys and raid/scavange for supplies OR ones that construct fortresses and hold them up,with varrying degrees of firepower and rules.

Any theories on what will happen religion-wise after ZDay? Will all established religions crumble? Will new ones rise to take their place? What will they believe? What about the religious Hierarchy? Thoughts/opinions?
Personally, I think the following will be the case: The zealous base of all current religions will be wiped out. Between the masses crowding churches (effectively dooming the clergy) and the "God will save me" mentality, they will be taken out of the picture quickly. The less-practicing believers will either give up their faith (as often happens during traumatic events) or continue on with it, although for these people it will just be a matter of time until the take their beliefs with them to the grave. Then, at least one new religion will emerge and sweep the land, resulting in either a holy war between religions or a crusade on the non-converts. All assuming, of course, that humanity remains intact enough for ANY religion to spread amongst more than a small handful of people.

If they suround your fort and you move into a state of siege and they somehow breach the walls if that should happen have either a)an escape root or b)have you and your fort rigged for detonation.

For those of us that don't want to mess with someone working on a new page but find it deficient in one way or another.
I'd like to see more specific government systems not just economic systems. There is a drastic difference between Stanlinism and Democratic Socialism. Especially on the large scale. And Fascism covers a whole lot of different forms of single leader stuff. Totalitarianism, party indoctrination, authoritarianism, feudal societies. And its not talking like, pure democracy vs. representative democracy or parlimentary system vs. single member districts. Also, a section on how to keep a government good would be pretty cool. Seperation of powers and civilian supremacy to military and fun stuff like that.

I doubt this plan would work for several reasons. Survivors would be few and far between. raiders will have thrived and will shoot you when you try to get them to come to your colony. Zombies would still be there and would likely be stronger than when the 'war'(more like a massacre) started due to natural selection.
Suggestions: Every citizen would be armed to the teeth. None of this enlistment crap. You serve a four hour military service day, and a four to eight hour workday for personal profits to purchase defenses, food, water, and PDWs. I suggest the armory be stocked with several semi-automatic rifles for engaging targets outside the walls (I suggest an M14 or likewise heavy hitting weapon). Then there would be heavy weapons and automatic CQB weapons. Heavy weapons would be like HMGs, mortars, and artillery (there isnt a military and zombies dont want it, theres bound to be an abundance of surplus military equipment). M4s and AKs ar suggested CQB weapons. Use what you can find however. each citizen would always have a pistol. Dangers of self injury or accidental shootings would be increased but if a strong group of raiders/zombies attack and cut off the armory, think you'd want a gun? |

any bets that, when the zombie infestation is half over, the real trouble will be humans. whether it is the original goverment stopping your independence, bandits laying waist to your terretory, refugees that you cant take, i rival clan declaring war on you or any other problem like that, its propably going to be us hiding from the zeds, then we are going to take up arms & continue conventional warfare against rivaling clans & such.

Capitalism is an economic status, and is totally different from government. government deals with war, politics, foreign policy. capitalism is purely economic. capitalism is free trade with the lack of government regulation. the people run the show.
Also, I kind of don't see the point. If we are talking about governments, we can only really talk about the ones able to be sustained in groups as small as 5. Oppressive government blueprint where one rules all is doomed to fail,when one person forces himself upon the other 4. the other 4 will not like this and retaliate in any number of ways. In groups smaller then 50, democratic-style 'governments' just happen. Pirates were democratic, and people are doomed to disagree, and in such small groups, people tend to vote on major issues anyways. the majority always rules. Now, if we are talking about thousands of people together, government types where control is given to other people, yeah it might be useful, but... even then, any government type will work as long as the leaders are not in it for themselves. The key point is every oppressive government will collapse. this has been played out for centuries. The only reason England still has a King and Queen is because they listen other people, have a house of commons, and do not oppress the people in any serious way... Overall, the real question we should be asking is which one has the biggest chance of lasting longer, and which system will slow down the rate of corruption so everyone is happy. and by happy I mean not furious about how the government has taken all they have worked hard for. |

You left out a dictatorship. Not the best choice, but should probably be covered for completeness. Also, Theocracy for the zealots, oligarchy for those who like to keep things in the family, authoritarianism for those who want all the control, but none of the individual blame.
On a personal point, having a large constitution seems to get people bogged down in the technicalities. Do No Harm on the other hand, covers pretty much all the bases but allows plenty of freedom as well. Steal food? Harming the group. Fall asleep on watch? Harming the group. Obviously you would need to define it a little further, but basically it does the job.
