English and German are also spoken in certain Areas (New Orkney and Neu Holstein) but it´s still necessary to speak Russian in the Newcommunist Republics, although the Government forces no one to speak it in his normal life.

The Government

The High Council

The High Council is the most important part of the Government of the Newcommunist Republic. Every five years, the people of the Republics elect 9 Ministers directly into the High Council and make them alltogether the Head of State and give them the Legislative of the Newcommunist Republics. This is mostly based on the belief, that such power is to much for a single person. Every of the Ministers is the Head of a Section of the Government. Further the National Workers Union has one seat in the High Council for a directly elected Delegate of the Workers. The High Council also sets the basic conditions for the work of the Economy Council. The current High Council:

Delegate of the National Workers Union James Sorokin
















The Economy Council

Together with the votings for the High Council, the Economy Council is voted. 9 Officials for five years and an delegate from the National Workers Union. But in Difference to the High Council, the Officials of the Economy Councils' only work is to plan the Economy of the Republics and to change the plans, when problems occur.

The lower Council

The lower Council contains the 300 Members of the different country-councils from single Republics of the Nation and another 300 democratically elected Officials from all over the Nation.

The Parties

There are 4 main Parties in the Newcommunist Republics. Uncounted Numbers of little Parties exist, but they have nearly no influence on the Politics of the Newcommunist Republics. Since all of the 4 Parties fought together in the Socialist Freedom Movement, they tend to have a good relationship and even in Elections they seem to be fine with each other, promoting only their Viewpoint and not attacking the other. It´s believed that the Government of the Newcommunist Republics with the COuncil Head of State does only work due to this relaxed Relationship.

Party Leader(s) Description Numbers of Members Seats in the lower Council
The Democratic Socialists Party Tim Dawson The Democratic Socialists Party (DSP) is the biggest Party in Newcommunist Republics. Yet it had the mayority in every Election since 1982. The DSP is a left-liberal Party, fighting for a socialist Economy but also for great freedom and Democracy. Since 1982 the DSP was able to pass some very progressive laws and stabilizing the Economy by it´s "Machines help us work"-programme, which caused protests of the Greens and the Christian Communists. The Democratic Socialists Party is Member of "The European Left". 4,4 Million 377
The Green Socialists Party Clara Dean The Green Socialist Party (GSP) is one of the minor Parties in the Newcommunist Republics. Anyways, just like the other big four, it was able to have at least one Seat in the High Council after every Election. Currently even two. The Greens are a Enviroment-Protection Party with Socialist Economy views. They tend to accept a healthier Enviroment at the cost of a weaker Economy. In the High Council, the Seat of the Minister for Enviroment is a traditional GSP post. 1,0 Million 120
The conservative Socialist Party: Justice and Equality August Mendelev The Party "Justice and Equality" (JaE) is a more conservative Socialist Party, standing for a strong police, long imprisonment of criminals and spreading Newcommunism all over the world. In 1992 the JaE got about 35% of the Seats in the Lower Council and 3 Seats in the Higher, making them the second Party in the Newcommunist Republics. The Politics of the next 5 years was a mixture of the DSP programme "Machines help us work" and increased spending in armed forces. But with the failure of creating a Newcommunist International, one the mainpoints of the JaE-programme, the Party got weakest of the 4 big in 1997. In 2002 the Party continued to lose seats in the Lower Council, but was able to gain two seats in the Higher Council. 1,3 million 42
The Party of Christian Communists Walentina Gysi The Party of Christian Communists mixes Socialist Ideologies with Christian Traditions and Believes. It tends to be the smallest of the 4 big Parties, but somehow it always gains one of the Seats in the High Council - Education, Healthcare or foreign Affairs. With the fall of the JaE in the lower Council the Christian Communists were able to become the third Pary. Their traditionally Viewpoints are "no abortion", "Strong social Security Systems" and establishing of a government spending programme for building and renovating of religious buildings. 0.6 Million 61

The Economy

The System

The economical system of the newcommunist republics is called "progressive planning economy": All economy is owned by the government and controlled by the democratic elected Economy Council. Every citizen who finished his education has to work at least 55 years (but a finished academic education counts as work) before going into retirement. The products of the work are shared equally, although some products have to be sold in order to buy important products the country cannot produce by itself.

Military

The Military of the Newcommunist Republics is divided into three Sections.

But of course these aren't lonely branches, they cooperate whenever possible and have the same Autority: The Defence Ministry. The Newcommunist Republics' Military has no Conscription Laws and currently lacks funding. They still use the weapons from the Socialist Freedom Movement and what is left from the Archer-Regime. They don't even have a uniform dress code yet.

Abbreviated History

The whole Territory of the newcommunist Republics consists of ex-colonies. Dobrizcna, Lometz and Nowoj Karelia were russian territories, Neu Holstein was German and New Orkney was English. In 1899 the russian colonies were bought by Great Britain. From 1912 on different liberation armies in each colonie fought over the Independence of their countries, but failed to make progress on their struggle - except for New Orkney, which at least established semi-autonomy. The fighting went on till the second world war erupted and Germany attacked the british colonies. After 1945 the cities all over the countries were destroyed. Britain could not rebuild it´s own countries AND the colonies, so that they gave their five colonies the independence very fast, when the national liberation armies started to continue their fighting. 1946 the five colonies became "The democratic Federation of the North English Colonies". But none of the democratic elected government were able to repair the imploded economy that suffered under the great destructions of the war. In 1962 General James Albert Archer, the official leader of the Army, got into power and declared himself "ruler for lifetime". His Army opressed everyone and everything, till in 1981 the "Socialist Freedom Movement" undermined his armies, fought loyal troops and freed the country. General Archer himself was shot during the attacks on "James Archer City"(today: Marxgrad)

The Socialist Freedom Movement dissolved by own choice and split up into four different partys. These four Parties are today the biggest Parties in the Newcommunist Republics and since the first elections, every of these 4 Parties had at least one Member in the High Council. In 1982 the first elections were hold, showing a great success for the Democratic Socialists Party. With support of the other three parties, they started to form a new nation. In order to show their distance to existing socialist and communist movements, who were mostly controlled by the Sowjetunion, they chose the Term "Newcommunist", although some of the government-delegates preferred "Neosocialist", since real communism still is an Utopia. At this time the economy was completly collapsed and it is believed that only the great socialist economist Ivan Sorokin prevented the failure of the government by developing a intelligent and progressive economical plan. Today the Newcommunist Republics´ economy is still weak, but has healthy growth rates.
