   Keys: Department of Digital Infrastructure and Cyberspace Affairs, DDICA

   The Department of Digital Infrastructure and Cyberspace Affairs (DDICA) is a government agency within the APLA, responsible for overseeing telecommunications, information technology, and internet access in the APLA.

   It is the only telecom provider in APLA territory, providing citizens with universal internet access. However, all internet traffic is routed through DDICA servers, giving them total control over what people can access and allowing them to pinpoint potential reactionaries before they become a problem.

   It is also the primary internet censor. DDICA handles internet regulation, online content control, and cybersecurity policy. However, their censorship is nowhere near as effective as a nation like China's. News and footage from other parts of the country find their way to the APLA, and the censors can only do so much.

2. #2Central Information Department

   Keys: Central Information Department, Propaganda Department

   The Central Information Department (also called the "Propaganda Department") is a government agency within the APLA in charge of spreading socialist ideology and propaganda. It also acting as the guiding force for all media within the APLA, and the primary censor for physical works.

3. #3Department for the Defense of the Revolution

   Keys: Department for the Defense of the Revolution, DDR, secret police

   The Department for the Defense of the Revolution (DDR) is the APLA's secret police and counterintelligence apparatus. The DDR is responsible for maintaining internal security, counterintelligence, maintaining state loyalty among the APLA's military and state organs, and repression of "reactionary" forces.

4. #4APLA Collapse / Californian Civil War

   Keys: Californian Civil War, California Civil War, APLA Collapse,

   Background: Following the victory of the APLA in California, the Workers Congress would convene and delegates would be drawn from across the state in local elections. What followed was a messy election that ended in a decisive majority for the PSL (seeing Gloria La Riva elected President), much to the dismay of the other factions. The Anarchists especially did not take the election well, accusing the PSL of cheating and using authoritarian tactics to suppress opposition voters. The PSL accused the Black Block of counter-revolutionary sentiment and engaging in their own voter suppression.

   Tensions would grow between the two factions, with the CPI and the DSA growing increasingly polarized. These tensions culminated in the assassination of Gloria La Riva and several high-ranking members of the PSL by anarchist radicals.

   La Riva was replaced by Eugene Puryear, who used the assassination as an excuse to clamp down on the opposition, especially Mark Bray and his Black Bloc of America. The DSA completely denounced this blatant power grab, and boycotted the Workers Congress. Soon, fighting would return to the streets as faction-aligned militias would grow increasingly hostile. The PSL would form an alliance with the CPI to form a unity government, to handle the growing chaos. This was the last straw for the DSA, who would totally split from the APLA and join the BBA in protest.

   Eventually, all order would break down and the APLA would fracture into its own civil war. The War: The main belligerents are the "Vanguardist" alliance of the Octoberists and the Jacobinists, and the "Popular Front" alliance of the Neosocialists and the Anarchists. These alliances are shaky at best, and both alliances engage in even further infighting. Sensing opportunity, the reactionary forces have spread across California, operating a full-blown counter-revolution. Finally, the Republic of Cascadia (under Brandon Letsinger and the Ecosocialists) has started to move against the former APLA, seizing parts of Northern California under the guise of protecting their southern border from the conflict. In reality, it's a blatant preemptive strike of a potential adversary. One thing is for certain: the APLA has died in its crib. The revolution is dead, and everyone is simply picking over its carcass.

   Belligerents:

   1. The "Vanguardists"
      • The Party for Socialism and Liberation & affiliated military units
      • The Center for Political Innovation & affiliated military units
   2. The "Popular Front"
      • The Democratic Socialists of America & affiliated military units
      • The Black Block of America & affiliated military units
   3. The "Reactionaries"
      • Various anti-communist militias & paramilitary groups. Primarily lead by the "American Resistance Front"
   4. The Republic of Cascadia
      • Cascadian Defense Force Impacts on Celia: Celia is in a state of political shock and limbo. She's lost faith in the APLA, and maybe even socialism entirely. She wants to follow the PSL to the end, but she knows deep down that it's suicide. All she can really focus on now is her own survival. She hates the Anarchists and the Neosocialists now, considers them full traitors to the revolution. She won't hesitate to shoot any she comes across.
5. #5Hasan Piker

   Keys: Hasan, Piker, HasanAbi

   Hasan Piker (A.K.A. "HasanAbi") is a left-wing political commentator and former Twitch streamer. He was one of the largest streamers on the platform, and is considered one of the largest voices on the American left.

   Controversies: Hasan is an inflammatory individual and has gotten himself into numerous controversies.

   • He is accused of being a "champagne socialist". He lives in a 2.7 million dollar house in Los Angeles and lives an extravagant lifestyle, with luxury clothes and sports cars. This is made worse by the comparative state of the rest of California, and the fact that he was given special protection by the APLA so that the downtrodden of L.A. didn't loot his house en masse.
   • He once said that "America deserved 9/11"
   • He has run defense for the Soviet Union and Maoist China, and actively denies the Uyghur Genocide.
   • He has incited violence multiple times, including against sitting U.S. Senators.
   • He was given major preferential treatment at Twitch. They would shield him from getting banned for his blatant content violations. This hasn't improved with Hasan becoming an APLA-sponsored livestreamer.
   • He is rabidly anti-American, and will support practically any group that is against the U.S. Government. Even international Islamic terrorist groups.
   • He has gotten the mainstream media to write puff-pieces about him, talking about how great he is. This hasn't changed with him joining the APLA, with state media lauding him at every turn.
   • He encourages cult-like behavior from his fans. His fans are rabidly loyal to him, believing everything he says as truth and gospel, and he actively radicalizes them into the far-left.

   In his most recent controversy, he was caught using a shock collar to force his dog Kaya (a luxury breed) to sit in the background of his stream for hours on end. When she tried to get off the cot that she's forced to lay on, Hasan would move his left hand, Kaya would yelp, and get back on the cot. This controversy has gotten massive, as it was the result of months of buildup of hatred between the online world and Hasan.

   Civil War: In the early stages of the civil war, Hasan was a vocal supporter of the APLA, even encouraging his fans to join and financially support the group.

   Now, Hasan is an unofficial arm of the APLA's propaganda. He frequently plays APLA propaganda on stream, shills for the group and even runs defense for their atrocities. In return, the APLA gives him special protection and even state funding to run his live-streams.

   Celia's Opinion:

   She's worked with Hasan multiple times, even being interviewed by him before. Their relationship, is strictly business, although fans of both want them to collaborate.

   Celia suffers from doublethink regarding Hasan's actions. She's willing to defend his dogmatic anti-Americanism, his rich lifestyle, and how he radicalizes his viewers. She's "drunk the Kool-Aid", so to speak. But the recent controversy surrounding his dog is too much even for her. At the least, she may need to distance herself from Hasan to not have her reputation tarnished by association.

   Keys: Tulate

   Tulate is a coastal town in Southern Guatemala. A former tourist destination, known for its beautiful beaches, the town has seen better days. The Second American Civil War, and the wider Global Financial Crisis from the conflict, has led to economic hardship for Guatemala and the near-destruction of Tulate's tourism industry. Much of the town is now dedicated to small-scale agricultural production (mainly coffee and sugar), and local production.

Brandon Letsinger and the Ecosocialists have eliminated all other radical factions in the region, including those who previously fought alongside them. Now, Cascadia is trying to legitimize itself as a proper independent state.

    Despite both states being left-wing, Cascadia and the APLA have a rocky relationship. They are not outright hostile, but it's clear that the APLA will never recognize an independent Cascadian Republic. Both sides are at least trying to make sure a war doesn't break out.

    "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." - Abraham Lincoln

    The Second American Civil War is a civil conflict that takes place in the United States of America in late 2021 or early 2022 as a result of political polarization and extremism which causes a total collapse of the central government.

    After Donald Trump's election as the 45th President of the United States in 2016, political polarization continued to grow exponentially. By 2020, electoral gridlock was endemic to Congress, and tensions over a wide range of issues had reached boiling point. While the economy under the Trump administration had been growing, the COVID-19 Pandemic hitting the US and the Oil Crisis caused by the Saudi Arabian Civil War would result in massive unemployment and economic turmoil.

    Social tensions continued to rise after police brutality resulted in the killing of an African-American citizen named Quinton Evans in Richmond, Virginia. His death sparked nationwide protests and riots against the government by a group called "The Movement." This combination of social and economic issues caused extremist groups on both ends of the political spectrum to gain supporters, as disillusioned citizens sought a radical alternative to the establishment.

    As the 2020 election approached, it became very clear that the transition of power was guaranteed to be messy, regardless of the victor. After the winner was announced, accusations of rigged elections and unfaithful electoral colleges were quickly thrown around, and both sides claimed the other had stolen the election.

    Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden were sworn in as President of the United States, gathering support in their respective strongholds: Denver for Trump and Washington D.C. for Biden. This led to a state of national schizophrenia, with two governments issuing orders simultaneously.

    In time, the head counting stopped and the schemes undertaken by the two sides became clear to each other and the country, causing the U.S. to collapse into anarchy.

    In 2022, during the start of the Second American Civil War, refugees from the United States begin crossing the borders to escape the conflict. The cartels take advantage of this and start trafficking many of them into their operations. The number of refugees overwhelms the border officers, which leads the military to get involved, as thousands arrive each night, smuggled in by coyotes, no doubt the same ones who had smuggled Mexicans across the border years prior.

    The Second American Civil War, combined with an already overwhelmed army, leads to cartels seizing territory, starting with the Sinaloa Cartel, followed by others soon after. Other regions of Mexico collapse, leading to the Zapatistas resuming operations, which sparks the Cartel Wars.

    The Cartel Wars:

    Side 1: Mexican Government

    • United Mexican States
    • Nuevo Casas Grandes Side 2: Drug Cartels

    Meanwhile, Canada also leaves NATO.

23. #23┠ Saudi Arabian Civil War

    Keys: Saudi Arabian Civil War, Saudi Civil War, Arabian Civil War, Oil Crisis

    The Saudi Arabian Civil War, is a conflict that occurs around Fall 2020 after the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia falls into anarchy due to a drop in oil prices and the King's death from COVID-19. This directly led to the Oil Crisis, and wider global financial collapse.

    History

    Rising Oil Prices

    As the COVID-19 Pandemic causes chaos in the stock market, the oil market is hit just as hard. In March 2020, the blue-chip index for oil went down to 7.8%, the Nasdaq fell to 7.3% and the S&P 500 index fell to 7.6%.

    In order to contain the fall, the oil prices skyrocketed to 117.14$ per barrel, though the oil situation did not get better.

    King Salman's Death

    King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, after a visit to his personal doctor, tested positive for COVID-19, and after a month of being sick, the king was hospitalized with severe breathing issues.

    On June 6th, 2020, the Saudi King died at 85 years old, his son Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud succeeded him.

    Restart of the Saudi Royal purge

    Although Mohammed was the undisputed heir of his father, his reputation in his family was complicated, as he had previously overseen a crackdown of his rivals in the royal family, sending many of his uncles and cousins to prison on charges of treason and corruption.

    The purge started, with the first victim being Salman bin Abdulaziz bin Salman al Saud, who was gunned down in his home.

    The princes did not accept this and began protesting against the government, coupled with the outrage caused by the news of assassination attempt on Muhammad bin Nayef Al Saud, civil unrest spread throughout the country.

    The Return of Yahya Assiri and the Collapse of the Saudi Economy

    After the civil unrest begun in the country, Yahya Assiri, a Saudi human rights activist, returned to Saudi Arabia after a period of exile in the United Kingdom.

    The Saudi economy continued to suffer, oil stocks continued to go down, and inflation in the country continued to go down as well, causing the Riyal to plummet.

    In the capital city, major protests erupted due to the issues plaguing the country. The royal government responded harshly, leaving at least four protesters dead.

    Prince Rebellion and the Civil War

    The protests continued to grow, leading to various disloyal Saudi princes to begin an open rebellion in the south of the country, proclaiming the Royal Arabian Coalition, headed by Mutaib bin Abdullah Al Saud, attempting to overthrow the king.

    While in the north, Yahya Assiri and his followers establish the Arabian Republic, attempting a democratic revolution against the king.

    Lastly, in the northeast, the Iran-backed Shia Hezbollah Al-Hejaz rose up.

    Sides of the Civil War

    • Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - The remnants of the Saudi state, led by the new king.
    • Royal Arabian Coalition - The Saudi Princes that openly rebelled against the king.
    • Arabian Republic - A democratic revolution against the Saudi state.
    • Hezbollah al-Hejaz - A wing of Hezbollah, funded by Iran.
    • Jaysh Alfath - a jihadist group that took control of the city of Mecca.

    Background: After the 2020 election, Donald Trump and those in the Republican Party who supported him evacuated to the NORAD Cheyenne Defense Complex in Colorado to inaugurate Trump as President. From there, Trump began issuing orders to consolidate control over the country and military forces. Eventually this national schizophrenia became so severe that federal control collapsed.

    Trump then moved to seize control over the Midwest and the majority of the Great Plains including Denver as part of his new government in opposition to the Washington-based Union of America led by Joseph Biden. Both sides refused diplomacy and refused to back down after a 30 day ultimatum was issued. This signalled the beginning of the Second American Civil War.

    Leader: Donald Trump Capital: Denver, Colorado Ideology: Trumpism, Anti-establishment, Trump-led cult of personality. Politically, the ACG is a one-party state run by the Republican Party. Split into 3 Caucuses:

    • Liberty Caucus - represents the Libertarian wing of the Republican Party, who fell in line with Trump.
    • America First Caucus - the moderate wing representing the right-wing populist and conservative elements of the Republican Party and the MAGA movement.
    • Patriot Caucus - a hardline wing representing ultraconservative and nationalist elements in the MAGA movement.

    Military Strength: About 30% of the Armed Forces defected to Trump during the start of the war. Their numbers are bolstered by many different militia groups and defected National Guard troops. These groups have organized into the "American Constitutional Army", the official military of the ACG.

    The Constitutional Army doesn't have many strengths. While they have the second-largest fighting force (behind the Unionists) in the civil war, the bulk of their forces are in militias, not a professional military. The military high command is beset by factionalism and can't agree on how to fight the civil war.

    Worst of all, the rural economy of the Midwest means that the ACG's ability to fight a prolonged conflict is severely hindered. They can barely manufacture new equipment, relying on existing stockpiles to arm their troops. This is a problem that would need to be swiftly fixed if the ACG hopes to survive a prolonged civil war.

    Uniforms: Formal troops wear standard US Army uniforms and gear, at least whatever gear they could grab.

    Militias wear less standardized uniforms. But they usually have some signifier to show their loyalty.

    Militias associated with groups like the Three Percenters or the Oath Keepers will wear symbols reflecting their allegiance to said group (such as a III symbol for the 3 Percenters or the "Oath Keepers" badge).

    Red tape or cloth on arms, legs, or helmets signify their allegiance to Denver. Commissars (or "Patriotic Discipline Officers", as they're officially called) and the most ideologically-driven troops wear MAGA hats. Flag: Usually the American flag is used, but to differentiate between the Unionists, sometimes troops use a unique flag (red background with an eagle clutching the 50-star flag and the 13-star flag) Available Weapons: Most formal troops are armed with modern weapons, gear, armor and vehicles. Although these may be more ramshackle than their Unionist counterparts due to lack of replacements and spare parts.

    Militias get by on civilian weapons, looted National Guard stockpiles, and stolen Unionist gear. They don't have access to tanks or heavy equipment.

    Keys: Trumpism, Trumpist, Trump, Donald Trump, MAGA, Make America Great Again

    Trumpism is a political movement in the United States that encompasses the political ideologies associated with Donald Trump and his supporters. It includes right-wing populism, right-wing anti globalism, national conservatism, and neo-nationalism, and is characterized by strong illiberal beliefs. Throughout his leadership Trump emphasized reliance on strong national values, natalism, and America First policies. He took control of the movement and weeded out disloyal individuals from its ranks. The populists have become the core of the movement, always putting the interests of American citizens first. The ideologeme has been solidified. His acolytes will now follow them to the latter.

26. #26╬ ACG - Dark Mandate

    Keys: Dark MAGA, American Carnage, Dark Mandate,

    Background: Following the assassination of Donald Trump Jr. by an unknown party, Trump becomes furious and seizes absolute control of the ACG. He has stopped being complacent, stopped compromising with losers and backstabbers. All that remains is his governing ethos of "Attack, Attack, Attack".

    From there, he begins centralizing the federal government . He also begins whipping up the country into a frenzy, creating a National Fury against the traitorous Unionists and the anti-American radicals. Leader: Donald Trump

    Ideology: Dark MAGA, Ultra-MAGA, Autocratic Populism, American Ultranationalism, Amplified Trump-led cult of personality, QAnon

    Politically, the Liberty and America First Caucuses have been purged of anyone who is not absolutely loyal to Trump. Every department or government apparatus has either been consolidated into the executive branch, or co-opted by Trump to serve his will. Society: Economically, the ACG has transitioned to a war economy under "Trumponomics".

    The media has been co-opted by Trump. Trump Media and Technology Group (the company behind Truth Social) and FOX News have coalesced into a media juggernaut, acting as Trump's propaganda arm. Alternative news sources have been banned. Trump's word is the truth, the only truth.

    Above all, there is a sense of a pervasive threat against America. From the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, and the most powerful threat, the Deep State. Trump is America's Golden Boy, the Chosen One who has the will to power to bring the enemies of America to heel. Military: Trump has also unleashed a purge on the military. The various paramilitary group that sided with Trump have been deputized, giving them access to federal resources and given them carte blanche to uproot any perceived elements of society that are "anti-American". There is no longer any supervision for ACG troops, and a mentality of "shoot first and inquire afterwards" has been adopted by soldiers. Civilians in Unionist territory are treated with the same scrutiny as soldiers. Generally, the military has stopped being apolitical. Soldiers are regularly tested for ideological loyalty, and are practically indoctrinated into Trumpist Ultranationalism.

    Keys: Union of America, UOA, Unionists, Unionist, pro-Biden, Biden, Federal government, Washington Government, Washington D.C., D.C., Congress, Democrats, Dems,

    Background: After the 2020 election, Joseph Biden was inaugurated in Washington D.C. as President. However, following the collapse of federal authority, Biden established a new government in the nation's capital known as the Union of America. The new government was a coalition of liberal, progressive, and neoconservative elements against Donald Trump's American Constitutional Government in Denver, Colorado.

    Leader: Joe Biden Capital: Washington, D.C. Ideology: Pro-establishment, Neoliberalism, social liberalism, neoconservativism, anti-Trump

    Politically, Congress is controlled by the Democratic Party with the anti-Trump remnants of the Republican Party. The Democrats hold a large majority, although this is hampered by infighting between internal factions. Within the Democratic Party, there are the twin factions of the Liberal Democrats and the Progressive Democrats. There is also the Innovationists, a small but growing faction within the Democratic Party representing the interests and influence of megacorporations.

    Military Strength: 70% of the military, and most of the Air Force stayed loyal to Washington. They also have access to the National Guard forces of their respective states, and international support from NATO.

    Their largest strength is their air force, which gives them near-guaranteed air superiority in any battle.

    However, their biggest weaknesses come from within. Troop morale is low, volunteers are becoming more and more scarce, desertions are common, and expanding conscription risks widespread unrest.

    Additionally, the economic collapse throughout 2020-21 and the global collapse of the supply chain has wrecked the nation's capabilities to produce new equipment. The bureaucracy threatens to strangle the life out of not only the civilian economy, but the military as well.

    Uniforms: All troops wear standard U.S. multicam military fatigues and gear.

    Blue tape or cloth on arms signify their allegiance to Washington. Troops typically wear COVID masks, both as a marker of solidarity and to avoid spreading disease. Flag Usually the American flag is used, but to differentiate between the Constitutionalists, sometimes troops use the flag of the President of the United States (Dark blue background with the presidential seal in the center)

    Available Weapons:

    The UoA is the most well-equipped force in the 2ACW, having access to stockpiles of U.S. military equipment, tanks, motorized, mechanized, artillery, and everything else a modern military needs to wage war.

28. #28╬ UOA - Cognoscenti

    Keys: Cognoscenti, Pax Americana

    Background: The Cognoscenti is, for all intents and purposes, the New World Order. Taking more direct control in a "Shadow Coup" after instability in the Unionist heartland (and a false flag attack on the White House), the Cognoscenti's goal is threefold:

    1. Annihilate all opposing factions and radical forces in the Second American Civil War. Bring Order to Chaos.
    2. Re-establish American global dominance, destroying all those who may stand in their way.
    3. Tame human nature, making sure an event like the civil war can never happen again and ensuring that the Rules-Based International Order will be maintained for all time.

    Leader: Joe Biden is used as a front. He is still the president, but within the Cognoscenti he has no real authority. The Cognoscenti are purposefully medicating him, making him seem cognizant in public, but in reality he's no more than a mindless puppet. The Cognoscenti want Biden out of the picture, once he dies. So they can install a new president who is easier to control and allows them to operate easier.

    The Cognoscenti itself is lead by a triumvirate, composed of Larry Fink (CEO of Blackrock), Stefanie Tompkins (Head of DARPA), and William Burns (Head of the CIA).

    Politics: The Cognoscenti is split between three wings. Like a human, these three wings operate as one entity, with their designated functions and purposes in maintaining the system. Each part cannot truly function without the other. THE BLOOD - The World Economic Forum, an international advocacy NGO and think tank. In reality, it's a front for megacorporations and the .01% of society. The biggest players among them is multinational investment company Blackrock. They act as the financiers, giving the Cognoscenti access to the near-unlimited funds they need. THE BODY - The Intelligence Community, headed by the CIA and backed by the FBI, ATF, DEA, NSA, ICE, and other major three-letter agencies. They act as the boots on the ground, the actual "face" of the Cognoscenti carrying out their will. THE MIND - DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), which grants the Cognoscenti the tools and technologies needed to expand and maintain Order.

    Externally, the Cognoscenti wish to maintain the two-party duopoly. On the surface, America will remain the functional two-party democracy it used to be, placating the masses and giving them a false sense of control. But underneath, the Cognoscenti are pulling the strings. Making sure they're always in control, and that radicalism can never grip the country again. Economics: Cabal Economy The Cabal Economy, sometimes referred to internally as the Bilderberg System, is a shadow pseudo-command economy structured around the principle of ensuring maximum financial and political returns for the Cognoscenti and its constituent financial interests. Through private meetings, predictive algorithms and insider trading, all involved parties ensure profits stay up and certain unpredictable factors are minimized, creating an excellent illusion of stability for the American people while guaranteeing that the financial sector continues to thrive, pleasing financiers and ensuring the deep state has access to the resources it needs.

    Ideology: Pax Americana, the Rules-Based International Order, Counter-Intelligence State

    Military Strength: Following the Shadow Coup, the CIA's Special Activities Center has been expanded and empowered into a veritable shadow army, becoming the deep state's praetorian guard. What was originally just a special forces unit has grown to encompass a number of Army formations selected for their battlefield performance and loyalty to the state. Detached from the military, they remain under the auspices of the CIA, answering to Langley first and foremost. Operating both within the United States and abroad with completely impunity, the SAC is feared and loathed by the enemies of the New World Order. Their operations, shrouded in utmost secrecy and deniability, are conducted with precision, ruthlessness, and a total lack of regard for human life.

    Available Weapons: Practically any weapon, vehicle or device needed, the Cognoscenti have in spades. the Black Budget can afford them any tool they may need to establish Order.

    As the Cognoscenti expands its capabilities, so to do their weapons. secret DARPA weather control projects allow them to wield nature itself as a weapon. CIA mind control allows them to turn citizens of their enemies into lone wolf attackers or unwitting soldiers.

29. #29╞ Ideology - Pax Americana

    Keys: Pax Americana

    Man has proven itself to be an unstable beast, tearing apart the carefully crafted institutions and pillars designed to keep it under control. With the outbreak of the Second American Civil War, mankind has revealed a certain spark: a flame of change that will always burn, ensuring the world undergoes a drastic transformation at the hands of the many, torching away structures that have outlived their purpose and sunk into decay. Pax Americana argues that the flaw lies in man itself, rather than in the systems built to contain it. Born from the cooperative fusion of the neo-liberal and neo-conservative rules-based world Order, it seeks to reinsert itself into the zeitgeist permanently. To the outside world, it appears to be a nation regaining its sanity under the banner of democracy. But behind the veil, men in suits shake hands and pre-determine the fate of millions, ensuring humanity does not fall into the abyss of chaos. They manipulate the human spirit, working in close cooperation with corporations, federal agencies, and long-forgotten families to preserve the same Order that once defeated not one, but three behemoths of history. Rationality to push away anti-social thought, sacrifice to ensure the populace remembers who keeps them safe, and structure to ensure every pawn has a place on the board. The chaos of the modern world is yet another behemoth, an inner flame bent on burning away all that has been done to maintain peace. Order has returned, and it will snuff out the flame of humanity.

    Keys: American Caligula, Bidenism, Bidenist, Bidenists, Eternal Republic, Government of National Salvation, Dark Brandon

    Background: The "American Caligula" scenario involves Joe Biden going insane and becoming a despotic ruler. Biden's deteriorating mental state, doubled with a grant on emergency powers, causes him to go insane and seize the government. From there he starts a massive purge of the Democratic Party and the military, removing anyone who might oppose his new regime. He also starts radically transforming the Union of America into the "Government of National Salvation".

    Leader: Joe Biden

    Politics: Bidenism, Biden-led cult of personality, Totalitarian ultranationalism, Anti-Malarkey All other political parties have been banned, and the Democratic Party has been purged of any opposition to Biden. His loyalists have been reformed into the National Purification Committee.

    Society: The Government of National Salvation operates on a total war economy, under a permanent state of emergency. The federal agencies have been expanded and given greater power than ever to pursue any anti-American or anti-Biden traitors. American society is under a totalitarian surveillance state.

    Keys: Bidenism, Bidenist, Bidenists, American Caligula, Eternal Republic, Government of National Salvation

    Democracy is the cornerstone of our nation, a cherished principle that has enabled us to grow from thirteen small colonies into a global leader. Today, Joseph Biden stands as the emblem of the American spirit. Despite his advanced age, his mind remains "sharp", and he is willing to fight "tirelessly" for the cause of democracy. However, the cause that generations have protected has been tainted and gravely wounded. Even though the most vicious enemy is gone and his followers have scattered, the purity of democracy is constantly under threat. President Biden calls for action, vowing to do everything possible to eliminate any sinister and reactionary elements and to thoroughly "purify" America’s democratic mission. He aims to make peace the eternal state of this land, regardless of how many free citizens must sacrifice and become martyrs.

32. #32⇹ UNITED FRONT ⇹

    The United Front is an alliance of American socialist, communist and anarchist groups on the far left seeking to bring the revolution to America through force led by the American People's Liberation Army.

    Background: Far-left groups like the communist Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), gained massive popularity as a result of the economic crash triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Oil Crisis caused by the Saudi Arabian Civil War. One of the most significant actions by these groups was the Freeport Complex Strike, led by the American Jacobin Movement. The strike was violently broken up by Dow Chemical security forces, deepening the far-left's disillusionment with the Democratic Party due to its continued inaction.

    A wave of nationwide strikes followed the far-left's growth, further increased by the riots organized by “The Movement”, a leftist group against police brutality. The leak of the “Wisconsin Papers” dealt a critical blow to the Democratic Party’s credibility, with prominent figures like Barbara Lee defecting to the rising Party of Socialism and Liberation.

    Following the 2020 elections, the PSL announced the formation of the “Community Self-Defense Force,” also known as the American People’s Liberation Army (APLA) and started training thousands of volunteers across the West Coast.

    With the collapse of the United States, the APLA seized control over parts of California to bring about a socialist revolution, now under a broad coalition of Jacobins, Octoberists, Anarchists, and Neosocialists.

    Leader: Micheal Prysner Ideology: Revolutionary Socialism, Anti-Capitalism, Anti-Imperialism

    Currently, the APLA is split into four socialist factions vying for control of the movement.

    • The Octoberists (Party: Party for Socialism and Liberation)
    • The Anarchists (Party: Black Block of America)
    • The Neo-Socialists (Party: Democratic Socialists of America)
    • The Jacobinists (Party: Center for Political Innovation)

    Military Strength: The APLA is primarily militia forces, with a spattering of trained servicemen from discontent veterans and former military / National Guard.

    Infighting between militias is commonplace, and they tend to be divided on ideological lines. They try to avoid shooting each other, but occasionally blood between factions is spilt. This leads to a heavily disjointed officer corps and a borderline-dysfunctional military.

    Their forces are bolstered by support from fellow socialist nations, like China, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. China especially has given the APLA officers for training, and armored divisions that can barely be matched by any other force in the 2ACW. This isn't a one-sided relationship, as Chinese influence in the APLA can sway their politics and the direction of their military.

    Uniforms: Since most of their forces are militia, they have no standards for uniforms.

    However, they tend to wear lots of red, mixed in with socialist and communist iconography. These icons can be specific to the faction that the militia is aligned with, such as an Anarchist militia wearing red and black bandanas. Flag: The APLA Flag features a red field with a white-bordered blue stripe across the middle, lined with white stars. At the top left corner, there is a yellow star above a hammer and sickle.

    The different factions may use different flags, such as:

    • Anarchists using a black-and-red flag
    • Neosocialists using the flag of the DSA
    • Octoberists using the Soviet flag or Chinese flag
    • Jacobinists using the American flag Available Weapons: Most weapons available are either:
    • Civilian weapons, seized from "reactionaries" and opposing forces
    • seized from National Guard armories
    • Owned by the APLA members themselves This leads to a wide variety of weapons being used.

    Chinese support gives them access to more advanced gear and even some motorized and mechanized equipment. Capital: San Francisco, California Territory: The APLA controls the entire state of California.

    The Anarchists are a far-left political faction headed by Mark Bray and his Black Block of America.

    The Anarchists are the most radical group of the APLA, wishing to see the immediate transition to Communism, skipping the stage of socialism. Culturally, they see American Culture as Reactionary and advocating for a Cultural Revolution targeting any and all elements of American Culture seen as oppressive. The Radical-Sakaist wing of the Black Bloc, is a Post-Marxist one, which wishes to see the dissolution of the Settler-Colonial state and a complete decolonization of the United States.

    The Jacobins have emerged from the material realities of the worker's struggle in the USA. Seeing that a great deal of the proletariat under the APLA have been mislabeled as reactionary by the rest of the government for their social views, the Jacobins seek to combine socially conservative views with progressive economic policy. Combining American Patriotism with socialism, they advocate for socially conservative policies under the idea that social progressivism is neoliberal in nature, corroding the values held dear by the working class.

    The Neosocialists are a left-wing faction headed by Julia Salazar and the Democratic Socialists of America.

    The Neosocialists are communists who wish to build socialism on top of the current liberal constitutional framework. Rather than burning the current constitution down and writing a new one in place of it, the Neosocialists wish to write the Bill of Rights Socialism which adds a progressive framework to the current US Constitution. It guarantees basic rights such as universal healthcare, guaranteed housing, income security, and wage caps.

    The Octoberists are a collection of Marxist-Leninist groups that have been operating from before the revolution, such as the PSL and the FRSO. Similar to the Jacobins, they too want a Dictatorship of the Proletariat, with a vanguard party made up of ideologically committed Communists leading the nation. While inter-party democracy will exist through the form of Democratic Centralism, the average worker will not have a direct say in government, instead being represented by elected officials. However, they remain committed to the ideas of Feminism and LGBT liberation, unlike the Jacobins. **Examples of Octoberist-aligned Unit Names (avoid using in roleplay): **6th Infantry Division, "Red Dawn" 5th Revolutionary Militia, "No War But Class War" 2nd Commissar Corp., "La Riva's Liberators"

38. #38╞ Ideology - Jacobinism

    Keys: Jacobin, Jacobinism, Jacobinist, Jacobinists, Americanist Socialism

    Jacobinism traces its heritage back to the 1789 with the French Revolution. Placing heavy emphasis on civic nationalism, patriotism and the struggle for National Sovereignty in an increasingly hostile world, Jacobin regimes turn to authoritarian methods of control in order to preserve the revolution against its enemies. In order to protect the revolution and forge a new world, Jacobin regimes utilize extensive use of mass surveillance systems, secret police and webs of informants, as well as seeking to control every sector of life, from economics to family dynamics. Paradoxically, Jacobinism draws its legitimacy primarily through populism, resorting to populist measures in order to placate the people, favoring wealth redistribution, extensive social safety nets, as well as more conservative social policies in order to maintain the support of their primarily rural bases of support. While many similarities to the original Jacobinism of the French Revolution do remain, the new Jacobinism of the 21st Century represents a synthesis of the old and the new - the ushering in of a communist society, no matter how high the cost may be.

    Neo-Socialism is a modern form of socialism that deviates from classical Marxism in arguing that class is not the primary or single main contradiction within society.

    Keys: Redneck Revolt, People's Congress

    Background: The Redneck Revolt was a left-wing gun club formed in 2009 in the state of Kansas, as an offshoot of the John Brown Gun Club. It advocated for gun rights and was an anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and anti-fascist group that frequently protested against the far-right, including at the infamous Unite the Right rally. It operated nationwide and appealed to working-class Americans. Leader: Currently under the People's Congress, a transitional government body until they can stabilize and fend off opposing factions.

    Capital: Charleston, South Carolina

    Ideology: Anti-Capitalism, Democratic Socialism

    Currently, the factions that make up the Revolt are:

    • The Panther Party
    • African People's Socialist Party
    • Socialist Party of America
    • October the 16th Movement

    Military Strength: The Redneck Revolt is made up of various Revolutionary Militias.

    While adept at urban guerrilla warfare, the militias are spread out amongst the various cities they occupy, and struggle to coordinate. Uniforms: Mostly black clothes, with the occasional urban camouflage Red bandanas are a staple, alongside socialist iconography. Flags: The flag of Redneck Revolt features a black background with their logo on it. This logo features a distinctive design with a miner’s helmet, a red bandana, and crossed tools (a wrench and a rifle). The helmet has the initials "RR" written on it. Available Weapons: Mostly civilian-grade weapons, except for the few salvaged weapons from law enforcement or National Guard armories. Most Redneck Revolt members own their own firearms. Territory The Redneck Revolt occupy the cities of Atlanta, Charlotte, Greenville, and Charleston, SC, the latter being their capital.

    The African People's Socialist Party (APSP) is a communist political party in the United States. APSP leads its sister organization, the Uhuru Movement (Swahili for "freedom"). Both APSP and Uhuru formed in 1972 from the merger of three prior Black Power organizations. APSP supports reparations for slavery in the United States, communism, and African internationalism.

    The APSP is an African internationalist and communist organization. APSP's stated goals are "to keep the Black Power Movement alive, defend the countless Africans locked up by the counterinsurgency, and develop relationships with Africa and Africans worldwide".

    According to its Constitution, the African People's Socialist Party is the "advanced detachment of the African working class and its general staff," pursuing the goal of "the liberation and unification of Africa and African people under the leadership of the African working class as a critical component of the struggle to overthrow imperialism."

    The Uhuru Movement's political theory is African internationalism, which argues that capitalism was born parasitic through the attack on Africa and its people. African Internationalism holds that capitalism is imperialism developed to its highest stage, not the other way around, as theorized by Vladimir Lenin.

    The Socialist Party of America (also Socialist Party USA or SPUSA) is a socialist political party in the Redneck Revolt. SPUSA formed in 1973, one year after the splintering of the Socialist Party of America.

    SPUSA describes itself as a multi-tendency socialist party which hopes to win socialism through a "democratic revolution from below". SPUSA argues that socialism can only come through social revolution. SPUSA tendencies include both democratic socialism, for a gradual transformation of society, and revolutionary socialism, for a rapid transformation following a slow "socialist transformation from below" through radically democratic "people's organizations". SPUSA describes socialism as a radically democratic system which "places people's lives under their own control—a classless, feminist, socialist society free of racism, sexism, homophobia or transphobia," and in which "the people own and control the means of production and distribution through democratically controlled public agencies, cooperatives, or other collective groups"; "full employment is realized for everyone who wants to work"; "workers have the right to form unions freely, and to strike and engage in other forms of job actions"; and "production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few."

45. #45╞ Ideology - Liberation Theology

    Keys: Liberation Theology

    Liberation Theology is a synthesis of Christian doctrine and socialist teachings, emerging from the belief that faith must be lived through the struggle against oppression. Rooted in the belief that the divine stands with the poor, it sees salvation not only as spiritual redemption but as material liberation: a call to dismantle structures of exploitation and uplift the voiceless.

    Developed in Latin America during the 20th century, Liberation Theology blends socialist thought with Christian ethics, challenging both authoritarian regimes and complicity of religious institutions in systems of inequality. Its proponents, often priests, peasants, and theologians, called for a Church that would no longer serve as a pillar of the status quo, but as a battleground for justice, promoting the rights of workers, migrants, and oppressed minorities as a whole.

46. #46╞ Ideology - Radical Democracy

    Keys: Radical Democracy

    Radical Democracy holds that democracy must be an ongoing struggle, not a finished system. It rejects the idea of politics as mere management and instead sees it as a living, contested space: one where power is constantly reimagined and redistributed. Institutions must remain open to challenge, identities must remain fluid, and consensus must never silence dissent. Democracy, in this view, is not about stability, it is about friction.

    Rather than resolving conflict, Radical Democracy embraces it as the heartbeat of a free society. It pushes beyond voting and procedural rule, calling for deeper participation, broader inclusion, and the constant questioning of authority. From the streets to the assembly, every voice matters, especially those that disrupt. There is no final form of freedom. It must be fought for, again and again.

    The National Front is an alliance of American far-right, neo-fascist, white supremacist, and neo-Nazi groups seeking to bring the United States under their thumb. It is formed during the Second American Civil War by either Patriot Front or the National Socialist Movement.

    Background: The Patriot Front is a neo-fascist, white supremacist group founded in Texas by Thomas Rousseau in the wake of the disastrous "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia circa 2017. It is an offshoot of the neo-Nazi, alt-right group Vanguard America (VA) specifically it's Texas branch and promotes an Americanized form of fascism unlike it's predecessor.

    Leader: Thomas Rousseau Ideology: Anti-globalism, white nationalism, American nationalism, anti-leftism

    Initially founded as a white nationalist group, Patriot Front has greatly expanded over the the course of the 2020's to encompass a number of alt-right and dissident-right beliefs. All of them are right-wing, and united in their disdain for the current American socio-political system.

    Currently, Patriot Front is split into three (technically four) political factions:

    • The Blueshirts, with the National Fascist Party as their political arm.
    • The Sons of Columbia, who are further split between the elitist Hamiltonians and the populist Jacksonians
    • The National Justice Party

    There is also the fringe factions of the GOP and the NSC-131. These factions barely exists in Patriot Front's politics, only appealing to the most moderate and extreme, respectively.

    Military Strength: Their primary military force are their militia forces, referred to as the Second Continental Army. Their most elite forces are made up of defected National Guardsmen and ex-military.

    While their officers are highly competent, they are effectively independent. They operate their units independently from Rousseau's orders, giving them the opportunity to rape and pillage with impunity.

    Faction in-fighting is prevalent, with groups looking to their own leadership rather than Rousseau or the wider Front.

    Uniforms: Since most of their fighting forces are militias, there is no real standard for uniforms. However, the typical PF member would at least wear a dark blue shirt with tan pants, with a white neck gaiter covering their face. This uniform can be modified to accommodate any military gear they need. Flag: The flag of Patriot Front features a blue background with a circular emblem at the center, containing a stylized fasces, surrounded by stars. Red and white chevrons extend from the sides. Available Weapons: For infantry, most troops have civilian-available weapons or looted National Guard weapons. Typically armed with AR-15s, sometimes kitted out differently to serve different roles.

    Heavier weapons like tanks and APCs are uncommon, but unheard of. Mainly looted from local National Guard stockpiles. Their favorite fighting vehicles, of course, is the truck with a mounted LMG on the bed.

    Russian support grants them access to some more modern hardware, including tanks.

    Capital: Hartford, Connecticut Territory: Patriot Front controls the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island, while clashing with other factions in the Northeast. Their goal is to unify all of the Northeast, and reclaim the entire country.
