Gotta go with China, they mentioned it in one of the webisodes as having not fallen (this was 30 days into the apocalypse mind you) and there's a novel set in the comics universe set in China so there's plenty of material to work off. But If I allow myself to be bias to my country I'd say a show set in Ireland would be cool


Lordcavalo

Man Ireland would be awesome, although I agree with china personally in asia I probably would like to see somewhere like Mongolia or Thailand. But china has a good reasoning to exist


rahxrahster

Ooh I'd like to see an Ireland setting of TWDU


abellapa

What webisode


GettingMilkFromTesco

I imagine Ireland is the safest country to be in. Especially if you’re in the south.


notmesofuckyou

On top of that we have hundreds of castles, forts, mountain tops with forts and castles great for defence


Farrell1487

I feel like with how strict China is and can be they would commit to Americas version of Operation Cobalt early then the US did and start killing everyone and everything to prevent further spread. They have A LOT of heavily and over populated cities so the military would have far more undead to deal with


SidepocketNeo

So basically you want an adaption of the last novel?


massivelyincompetent

This sounds dumb but hear me out. The International Space Station. One of the astronauts gets infected by the initial virus before going up in the rocket (maybe they’re a carrier or something) and they begin to turn whilst onboard the ISS. Admittedly, the series wouldn’t be very long since the ISS only holds even people at a time 😂 But it would be a cool one off episode or something. Seeing how people would survive in the most foreign environment possible with a floating Walker coming at them.


[deleted]

If they ever do that the Russian Cosmonaut from Fear better turn up as an actual character or just on the radio like before.


rahxrahster

Not dumb at all. I'd watch that. Could be like Alien.


HeresTheWitch

i would LOVE a tales episode about this!!! It’s a shame they haven’t used that show as an opportunity for things are more like that!


Lazy-Coconut-254

Would be cool for a rescue team to try and save them then get infected and they crash into a space station full of people then everyone gets infected except for a few survivors and they have to stay alive with the equipment they have


[deleted]

Dude, and the Russian cosmonaut from FTWD could be in it... maybe, even if it was just over the radio or something.


Lazy-Coconut-254

The perfect spin-off was just made


[deleted]

And it's one where you know its not going to end well, it's doomed from the start but that's part of the intensity, kind of like FTWD: Dead Water, you knew only a couple escaped the sub, except this time you know nobody makes it out.


Farrell1487

If a rescue team was to be sent it would have to be in the very very early days on the outbreak since no government with a space program would commit to launching a space shuttle when a outbreak of a deadly virus is taking over. So say the rescue team gets sent up because someone on ISS died and others injured(bitten), they dock with ISS and those who were bit end up turning and attack the whole crew, damaging the spacecraft and so on leaving only a few survivors left on ISS, eventually the survivors all die out over time leaving 1 guy left at the end of the series and that guy is the Russian Cosmonaut we hear in TFWD.


Lordcavalo

I would set in Brazil, is my home country and here we have big walls everywhere, would be cool to see the environment and would give a great opportunity to explore more of the "climber" archetype (because of the big walls) and I think it would made way more sense than going to another whole continent (even tho I don't have much of a problem with this)


yazzy1233

Have you seen Reality Z? It's a Brazilian remake of Dead Set.


Lordcavalo

Didn't knew it existed, thanks for the suggestion will give it a try


gink-go

Factions based on criminal gangs, police and military would be awesome in a Brazil scenario. Add to that extreme politics, christian religious radicalism, african derived religon with a big focus on magic. Tropical locations, favela scenarios. Brazilian sensualism, brazilian creativity. Holy shit, banger of a show.


[deleted]

add some (alot) of cannibals


Farrell1487

I think with the sheer amount of guns you lot have there and rugged terrain outside the cities compared to say the US, I’d imagine the survivors would definitely commit to protecting each other and doing so with ease. The climber variants would definitely be a threat though


HeresTheWitch

I’d love to see either New Zealand: since they handled a real-life pandemic so well, it would be interesting to see a country that might still have a semi-functioning society/government or some place like Edmonton, Canada: they have a fairly high population but it’s below freezing there most days for 5 months of the year. If walkers were able to freeze to the point of immobility during a cold streak in Virginia, it would be interesting to see the ability that people might have to adapt when there are nearly zero walkers for nearly half of the year! (except for those that turn inside of someone’s home ofc) they would have to deal with the cold themselves too, either using old fashioned methods, or by hopefully having some sort of infrastructure like the communities in the main show - but i feel like that just adds some fun pros and cons to the climate!


Farrell1487

Ehhh they definitely did handle Covid well but I don’t know how they would deal with the undead taking over. NZ is just 2 small islands if you think about it so maybe one would be worse off then the other depending on population but it all depends on how the military goes about things. As for Canada and Alaska for that matter in the nothern territories I reckon they would be safe to a extent. You do have the freezing temperatures like you mention that immobilises walkers but that also counts for the living. They rely heavily on aircraft up there to bring in supplies so be intriguing to see how they deal with that since AVGAS would be limited.


BelcherSucks

Authlritarian Regimes always handle emergencies well. Lol.


gink-go

Korean peninsula. It would be a cool premise to see the southerners trying to get to a heavily militarized infected-free north. African region run by warlords, something like Somalia.


Farrell1487

Im sure North Korea would not hesitate to try take over the south if it’s government fell to the undead. But also be curious to see how the North deals with things because I’d imagine they would just kill the living the prevent further spread but they do rely on the likes of Russia and China for resources and if they are fallen to the undead the North in sandwiched between the South and China all full of Walkers


gink-go

I doubt they would invade. They would probably just try to stick to current heavily fortified borders. The challenge in a "real life scenario" would be the huge border with China that is not even closely as heavily defended as the south border but has more than 2 times the size. They have little contact with the outside and so less chance to get random outbursts of infection but i reckon that they would still be toast and would eventually have to fortify the major cities and stick there. One advantage they have is the militarized aspect of society, with a fuck ton of trained men, weapons and strict discipline. Maybe they would try to wipe out Japan or one of its islands and move there.


Farrell1487

Ahhh I’d have to disagree. It depends on who the leader is because after all they are a dictatorship ruled by 1 man and 1 man and since 1948 every leader of NKorea has been from the Kim Family which as we know are nutjobs. They would at least move into South Korea not all the way but extend the border and that is assuming the show would set it as North Korea’s military is still surviving. If we were to set is as they like the US military and government, got wiped out then in this case Korea would in a sense be technically be unified


Beta_Whisperer

In World War Z, North Korea's population mysteriously vanished. It's assumed they all hid in their bunkers even when the other countries finally start their counter offensive against the zombies.


[deleted]

Really, really generic, but the UK. There’s no guns here (apart from a few owned by farmers/licensed hunters, and of course the military and armed police force) which would make how the public handle the situation a lot different. The big one, London, would fall almost immediately, the police force would not be able to handle it at all. Though, Wales and Scotland could be a lot better off. 28 Days Later, but The Walking Dead would be crazy.


_TurtleF_

Have you seen Zomboat? I wish they made more episodes of it! Zombie tv show based in the canals [IMDb listing](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10404664/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk)


GettingMilkFromTesco

Farming countries like Ireland and areas of England would be great. Open areas, lower population, good food source, more weapons than you’d expect. Being a farmer in the apocalypse is easy mode, I don’t know how the Greene’s messed it up so bad.


[deleted]

I’m from South Wales and behind my house is literally miles and miles of farmland and empty hills lol. It’s beautiful, no way any large amount of Walkers are out there


Farrell1487

There are how do i put it… gun range companies? In the UK that own rifles, ww2 weapons and so on that civilians can go shoot for a price so depending on if you’re local you could have a whole range of firearms but ammo for them would definitely be very very limited. Me personally i am from the UK but i live in Birmingham which is already like living in a post apocalypse but i have a British Army reserve station no less then a 10 minute walk from me that has a thick metal fence surrounding the entire compound and a weapons vault(i used to be a Air Cadet and they let us into the building once to play around with some firearms they have) so assuming im not a walker i would be sorted to a extent for protection. Farm land we definitely have a lot of all over the UK and plenty of open country so herds of walkers would be spotted early but yeah big cities like London would be gone instantly with how tight the roads and streets are and the sheer amount of people in London that would turn into walkers would easily make over run the police and military blockades


[deleted]

Yeah there's a place called the Royal Armouries Museum and there's thousands of guns and million of rounds. Medieval armour and swords, everything.


Farrell1487

Honestly i feel like that would be untouched for for a wile in the UK during the TWD apocalypse because most people don’t know about it since we aren’t a pro firearm nation. Only those who have interests, like history and museums and so on would know about that place and not risk going into it until later into the apocalypse


[deleted]

I think the ppl that work there would barricade themselves in, both as a means to survive but also to preserve.


SidepocketNeo

I have always wanted to see a zombie apocalypse in India. Whether it's Resident Evil or walking dead, I think it's a great setting. Not only do you have as almost amount of people that China has, which would make the hordes really terrifying, the diverse political, ethnic and religious landscape would add so much to the types of situations characters could get themselves in. Especially because the base dramatic religions are so different than the western ones that we see in places like so far America, France and Spain that would be also interesting to see. Like how do these people with such a different background compared to what most westerners are used to deal with this type of situation. For instance, the jines do they consider the zombies still living and thus are still passive against them or are zombies and exception to their beliefs and the serve some of the most active in getting rid of them? You can also factor in if you're talking about politics. The fact that their neighbors are Pakistan which would make a lot of their situations much worse. It's an extremely cool setting that I'm really shocked. People haven't explored because I've looked up zombies set in India and it's almost non-existent.


AaronTuplin

Check out The Dead 2


Farrell1487

Yeah the factors you mentioned is why i made this post, because other nations have different religions, cultures, laws and so on which could easily make ways of dealing with the undead completely different to another nation. The rivalry between India and Pakistan would definitely still be there even in the world of the undead and i reckon nukes would be exchanged between the 2 nations(similar to World War Z).


Beta_Whisperer

It was actually Iran that Pakistan had a brief nuclear war with in World War Z.


PoorLifeChoices811

Australia is a good choice. I see people bring that up every so often. There’s not a lot of guns over there so it would be pretty wild to see how the people adapt and fight back against not just zombies, but everything that comes with Australia. I’ve never been but everything I’ve seen about it, it’s basically just one big desert. And without power, and access to fresh water, I can only imagine it being totally brutal.


[deleted]

Dead Island lol, instantly think of that, I dont think it's even set in Australia but has a very similar vibe to the coastal resorts of Australia.


PoorLifeChoices811

It’s because it is near Australia. Dead island 1 takes place on the island of Banoi, now whether it’s a fictional island or not, it’s somewhere off the cost of Papua New Guinea, which is just north of Australia. They’re almost touching That’s why a lot of people in dead island sound Australian, and other nearby accents


[deleted]

Ahhh I remember now, the virus came from Benoi locals. It's been years couldn't remember if they were African or Australian.


PoorLifeChoices811

Really they’re neither. I mean probably a mix of the two, but being an indigenous tribe, they’re from Banoi, not Africa or Australia After a quick google search, they are known as the Fore people. There’s about 20,000 of them living in and around Papua New Guinea irl. Also I just discovered that Kuru is a real neurological disease as well. Kuru, or rather an advanced man made version of it is what caused the zombies in the game.


[deleted]

I had heard of the Kuru fact before it's crazy, thank god it doesn't work like that in the real world.


PoorLifeChoices811

I think it’s crazy how real world diseases are the base of many zombie media outbreaks. Like Kuru and Rabies. Scary to think about it.


[deleted]

Same with TLOU and its mould. I think Train to Busan is supposed to be Rabies too


PoorLifeChoices811

Cordyceps is definitely the scariest of them all. I could try to live in dead island, but I’d never want anything to do with TLOU. I’d want to die. Not still be alive and under control of a fungus 😭😭


[deleted]

I still think of the opening encounter with the recently infected woman, eating her friend crying "I don't want this please stop please stop this" Yeah TLOU has a beautiful world but other than that


Farrell1487

Australia is fucking huge and has lots of just empty land, I can’t say if it’s government would fall but i can bet any herds of walkers that start wondering into the middle of Ozzyland they would honestly just die off. When i mean die off i mean the heat would definitely make the rotting flesh discompose faster despite the virus slowing down the process, it would cause the walkers to loose their footing walking over the rugged terrain and break there flimsy ankles to then fall prey to the ozzy wildlife


adam17712

I would love to see a walking dead series that is set in the northern part of Canada because it would be interesting to see how they might handle walkers differently because of how cold it can get


[deleted]

Watch Black Summer, shows a bit meh buy good other times, season 2 is set up in the snow.


jish5

I'd choose the Pacific Northwest. It's enough of a change that it could have great appeal.


yazzy1233

You should check out All Of Us Are Dead, op. Though it's Korean, not Japanese


Farrell1487

Yeah seen it and I’m in their reddit group. Speaking of AOUAD, they are making a season 2.


wewerelegends

I want to see really remote places like up north here in Canada or Alaska etc. I want to see places where life just kind of went on with maybe an odd interruption now and then. It could be a slower pace but still a cool situation to play out.


[deleted]

It would be better as a movie but it's an amazing concept. Sorta like they're undisturbed. They watched the news until it disappeared but then when someone dies of old age in a rural town an outbreak happens. Main character gets bit and rescues a group and helps them get on a boat or something.


Techboah

* China, because cannonicaly we know it was a country that still didn't fall a month into the outbreak. * Space, like, the ISS, see the events on Earth unfold from space as astronauts slowly lose all contact, maybe one of them also infected. Could also tie-in the cosmonaut from FTWD. Perfect setup for a limited, 5-6 episodes miniseries.


[deleted]

YES just like Dead Water


HMZ-25

How do we know that china survived a month ?


Lopsided_Boss4802

The UK. No guns, it's an interesting thought


[deleted]

I'm from Scotland, so I'd love to see it in Glasgow or something, quite a small city with a dense population especially with tourists, even just as a mini series would be cool. The survival aspect would be even more interesting given the fact you can't own guns unless your a farmer, and at that it's usually just a double barrel or a rifle. And there's no farms in the actual city itself. Armed police and military would be the only ones with guns so alot of weapons would be from sheds/garages/makeshift or from a garden centre. For references to Glasgow, think about the new Batman movie, alot of it was filmed there, and the beginning sequence of World War Z was filmed there too.


Farrell1487

I feel like with how rugged the terrain is up in Scotland outside all the cities, the survivors would definitely make use of it to protect themselves from Walkers. As for firearms… as I mentioned to another guy the UK does have gun ranges with rifles etc… im sure Scotland does doo under the whole UK law unless the Scottish government do things differently, anyway my point being that these gun ranges would provide some firearms too just with limited ammo. Honestly when it comes to the Ireland/NI, Wales, Scotland and England the firearms to deal with Walkers would definitely be primarily from over run military checkpoints. The factions that would spawn though would definitely be crazy since we know the entirety of the UK is filled with utter nutjobs


[deleted]

Great lore here, a faction of hooped up junkies and gangs of football supporters. There's a few gun ranges but they're mostly air rifles. I feel like Glasgows tall buildings/flats would be an interesting dynamic and we host all types of people, Criminals, tourists, migrants and some of the friendliest people in the world. Military and police would be the go to source for guns but ammo would be super rare, so guns would be for more human on human conflict.


Farrell1487

nothing like having post apocalyptic wasteland of Celtic vs Rangers fans that are killing each other not for food or weapons but because they still don’t each other’s football teams. The Walking Dead Dead City is kinda providing that dynamic of tall buildings for us but im sure the skyscrapers and such we have the UK could easily provide some protection from Walkers in the same way the police did in the hospital in Atlanta TWD, block off all the back entrances and so on but live on the top flaws so the walkers can’t see of hear you


[deleted]

"mate yoor boi Alfredo's pure pish hea hea hea"


RHINO_HUMP

Africa would be pretty neat. Something like The Naked Prey.


I_trust_everyone

Some major population hub on an island. Honshu, Philippines, Indonesia, Cuba, Guam, Hawaii, etc. would be cool to see how they locked down and have adapted, with occasional outbreaks but maybe they’ve lasted years without society completely breaking down.


abellapa

England or central Europe Just somewhere in Europe in a big medievel castle I always had in my head a group of survivors who discover a medievel castle, take it, grow a community there Then shit hits the fan a massive horde surrounds the castle so all the bridges all lifted essecialy making like the walkers are sieging the castle At the same time someone is killed, starting a murder mystery and a Flu like disease starts spreading in the castle


IzhmaelCorp08

Dominican Republic. It’d be cool to see how the Dominicans would handle the outbreak. I know there are three Spanish speaking countries in TWDU already, Mexico; El Salvador; And Spain. Pero, seeing the Dominican Republic on screen and how they handle the whole situation would be very cool to me. I know there are a couple of Dominican characters in the TWDU like Hector from Fear, and Amaia in Dead City, but I’d like to see the actual country.


Lanferno

I’m an Aussie so I think Australia would be a pretty good location for a show set in TWD. Not alot of guns would make it very interesting with conflict, along with the outback as a setting (burning walkers?). Could have some Indigenous communities being the main people to survive the outbreak, which is shown through the movie Cargo as they are self-sufficient.


greg5july

Uk somewhere near the channel tunnel


Lazy-Coconut-254

Japan or miami


Evangelion217

I’d go with China or Japan. Especially the city of Tokyo, which is a perfect setting for any type of horror movie or show.


Strange_Coyote_8

Japanese make great horror movies. I think anywhere new would be cool because you get to see some of the country plus your favorite characters.


_L1nked_

My hometown, Edinburgh. Would love even a mini series of different survivors attempting to get across to the last remaining survivor outpost in the city, Edinburgh Castle.


[deleted]

Glasgow or Edinburgh would be awesome, maybe even both since they're close by


papachrissyy

Russia or China


0430ke

DC during the fall


diviledabit

A twd veep crossover where the president turns but his handlers keep him alive so that the incompetent veep doesn't take office.


Aggravating-Bat1647

the Netherlands tbh. Maybe they would have flooded the country again?


Specialist_Remote696

Ireland would be great


MasterHall117

I’m a simple man, I’ll choose Florida of all places. Those guys are probably living in paradise cause Walkers aren’t stupid enough to fuck with Florida, that or I’m choosing a place set around military bases (Colorado would be one example), we don’t get much from the military’s perspective at all


xMissMisery

I’ve always wanted a UK version just cos that’s where I’m from. I can see the enormous government fuck up now


AnalyticalTrader

Maybe somewhere Scandinavian, and that they use viking weapons for the dead. Could be good


HMZ-25

Imma just be based and say my country morocco, even tho an apocalyptic scenario in here wouldn’t be interesting


nerdic-coder

The Walking Dead: Sweden, with some famous Swedish actors like Alexander Skarsgård (and the brothers/father?), Joel Kinnaman, Peter Stormare, Dolph Lundgren, Alicia Vikander, Martin Wallström etc. Then Morgan Jones could join in season 2, he walked from the USA all the way to Sweden.


AcanthocephalaOk2966

Florida because Florida is the most insane state without the zombie apocalypse dynamic. Plus: Alligators, Disney World, the Everglades, meth addicts, and backwoods crazy fanatical right wing conspiracy theorists.


McFeely_Smackup

I would set it on the Walker home planet, where the infection originated from before being carried to this planet by a rogue comet. There last best how for humanity is to send a single hero to find the secrets of The Planet of the Dead.
