Socialist Freemen
The United Commune of Socialist Freemen is a commune (more so then a nation) of several smaller "nations". It was formed by a cluster of relatively small nations that underwent a series of Socialist revolutions/elections. Upon the transition from capitalism to communism, the nations became close economicaly, and soon politicaly. They decided to form a single, international community, which they called "The United Commune of Socialist Freemen".
4 Day War
During the attempted August 20th coup by The Imperial Race and the subsequent 4 Day War, Socialist Freemen played a key role in the counterintelligence efforts for Pink Floyd, ensuring that no vital information was leaked to untrustworthy nations.
In the aftermath of the war, Socialist Freemen presided over the Fifth Period Agreement and has since been working to ensure that both parties live up to their respective parts of the treaty.
Government
The government is a multiparty socialist democracy that is very entrenched in the people, like you'd find in a tiny country (mostly due to the fact that it was once made up of several countrys). To keep the Commune from being centralized and less in connection with the people, there is no capitol, but instead a capitol building in every community. There is also no official language because all languages are equal according to socialist thought. The Commune has groups of people that speak all different languages.
Overall, Russian is the most popular (making it the de-facto language), but a recent wave of Esperanto has been sweeping the lands. Some attribute this wave to a community that was entirely Esperanto speaking, that spread due to the language's simplicity, but others attribute it to the amout of Esperanto speaking countries in the region (Tetris L-Shaped Block and Philanchez for example).
Political Parties
Being that the Commune is a democracy, there are several parties, but the overall leading party is the Socialist Labour Party (a member of SocIntern). The second most popular party is the New Democratic Party, which is more of a libertarian/civil rights party and is not a member of SocIntern. There is also a small Imperialist Party, which is funded by The Imperial Race but has so far failed to gain any serious support. Many believe that it is connected to recent the terrorist bombings in many communes with anti-Imperialist views.
People
As a self-proclaimed "Socialist Paradise", Socialist Freemen has attracted various kind of people, from political refugees to uneducated idealists. Because of the its strong emphasis on internationalism, a citizen of the Commune isn't easily recognized in a crowd.
Since the end of the 4 Day War tensions with The Imperial Race have eased, and both nations have allowed anyone unsatisfied with the government to leave. The exile community in Socialist Freemen has grown to the point where it is one of the most influential minority groups, though some have questioned whether a society such as Imperial Race could truly have any dissidents.
