Editorial bulletin · Members' test week
The County needs a few good testers.
· Preseason testing · Weekend launch planned
We need your help getting God's Country ready for the new season planned for this weekend. Members are invited to jump in, explore and help us find what needs fixing. You do not need to be an experienced tester; just playing helps.
Try County Contracts, visit the depots and shops, organise a crew and listen to County radio. Tell us what works, what breaks and what feels confusing. Joining instructions are ready; check County Signal for current availability. Report bugs in Discord with what you were doing, what happened and a screenshot or error if you have one. Keep passwords and private account details out of reports. Share your shop listings in the County Marketplace.
IMPORTANT: THIS IS A TEST WORLD. The world, characters and all in-game progress will reset before the new season. Purchases, property and inventory will not carry over. Expect fixes, restarts and interruptions. Confirmed launch details will follow here. Thank you for helping us build the County. Please remain alive long enough to file the report.

Open development
On the County drawing board
Proposals for discussion, not enabled services or promises for launch.Community ballots
Let residents weigh in on costed public projects. A vote would choose priorities, not create funds. The County welcomes opinions; it has ordered another drawer.
Public representatives
Explore elected voices for the community, not player rulers with access to private records, other people's property, or the Treasury.
Reclamation campaigns
Link contracts to restoring useful services and places. First the work, then the ribbon-cutting, then the dispute over who authorised the ribbon.
Discuss these ideas in Discord's suggestions channel. Confirmed features will be described separately when they are ready.
From the County studio
The people behind the paperwork
County Public Radio is in testing. These characters and their stories are fiction, not live service notices.Evelyn and Mercer keep survivors company with practical advice and stories from the road. Lenora keeps the books, Dale keeps explaining the repair bill, and Pedro Morales keeps looking for the right car for the right survivor.
Approved audio previews and transcripts belong alongside dated development briefings, separate from server-status notices. Meet the County voices and share your own close calls in Discord. We only publish survivor stories with permission.

Crews may register a settlement in Discord. Public reports use settlement names and general regions unless members choose to reveal more.

County operations enter the record only after staff confirms the objective and posts the result.
Stock The Dead Stop
Fuel, medicine, and construction supplies will be counted from verified reports—not campfire estimates.
Hold through the finale
The Dead Stop must remain usable through the Season One finale. Protected details stay off the public wire.
