The story, despite the results of the poll, is in third person, primarily from my character's POV. So it will follow me and my group during the story, not jump around. I have an entire fic based around this, so I can't really change it now. The story's all been decided on.

And yes, the apocalypse is global. You'll some users from other countries appearing as well.
