Have you ever found yourself needing to describe emotions that don't have names?

@pugbutter Except that has nothing to do with seizing the means of production or even just flat-out hating the bourgeoisie. It's just me not liking proles that are significantly better off than me, live lives I find unbelievably sterile, and directly support the capitalist system because everything's pretty dandy for them. I don't think many random suburban well-off white people actually own large businesses. Communism isn't just "heh... kid... you've got money... *unsheathes hammer and sickle*" or "We're gonna have single payer healthcare and also mass genocide", it's just the way to get rid of the Capitalist vs. Worker hierarchy that came about during the industrial revolution.

The "heh... kid..." bit is entirely optional.

Add 1 tablespoon of communism and 2 tablespoons of people telling communists to go fuck themselves.

Very british name I thought it lended somewhat well but he does sound more like some sort of frozen food manufacturer.

You're right, I can totally imagine myself eating Oscar Wellington brand frozen waffles.

WIP

Faction Name: Union of National Syndicates

Faction Government:
Fascist Dictatorship

Territory/Claims:
Brief overview of important locations and general description of what. Be reasonable here, you DON'T own the entire asteroid belt (that's a whole lot of stuff in real life, buddy), nor do you have total hegemony over a planet. Depending on how many people there are this might be tweaked for better balance later (or imbalance, if someone wants to play Space North Korea or something). If you have territory on Earth, show it on the map I've provided at the bottom.

Culture:
Since 2016 The United Kingdom when they left the EU had seen a great upheavel in Political thinking ideas ranging from Fascism to Anarcho-communist factions popped up all over Britain. At first it was seen as a normal effect of changing of the Status Quo and would soon settle down as peace is restored and the british people come to terms with their new stance in the world stage. This was not the case at all. Outbreaks of violent protests and battles in the streets occurred as various factions in the streets of london fought bloody and destructive turf wars. It was during this havoc the Union of Nationalist Syndicates was born. Based on the mixing of ideologies of Moselyism and traditional italian Fascism. a new system was created where the banner of "Public Obligation, Private Liberty" Reigned supreme In the coming years the Union of National Syndicates grew in representation in parliament causing much opposition between them and various anarcho-communist and socialist groups. In 2021 the Queen was asassinated by Communist revolutionaries along with the rest of the royal family. Seizing this opperunity to denounce the Communists and socialist forces which stood against them as the enemys of order and peace, thus gaining them much popularity amongst the common man. This lead to even more strife in the streets as each side resorted to violence to protect and advance their parties. While the rest of the world was advancing into space the UK remained fairly isolationist dealing with the internal struggles between the various factions.
It wasn't until 2036 when one faction proved Triumphant. In what was regarded as "The Night of Awakening" the paramilitary branch of the UNS succeded in assasinating several High profile Communist/socialist MPs along with the storming of Westminster declaring finally and offically the UNS under "The Leader" Oscar Wellington the De-facto rulers of britain. After this victory the UNS acted quickly and decisevly rounding up and either imprisoning or executing all opposed factions. Imposing a policy of "Public over Private life" the UNS quickly set about rebuilding the nation from the ground up, Nationalizing various heavy industries the UNS rebuilt the infrastructure of Britain. In the coming years of "regeneration" the UK rose once more into national prominence with it regaining much of its land it lost in the previous centuries re-acquiring South africa, Ireland and Nova Scotia under the policy of "One People one Nation".
History:
A summary of the faction’s history, pretty straightforward. Start around the colonial era depending on when it was involved (a lunar nation's history would begin with the founding of the first colony in its territory, while an Earth nation's would start from when it became involved in space colonization). Remember that most of early colonization (up until the deeper parts of the asteroid belt) was done by corporations here.

Technology:
An overview of the faction’s technological capabilities. Keep in mind the general scale I outlined. If there are any questions, PM me.

Military:
Just your military capabilities. You can include equipment descriptions if you want to, but don't try to sneak by a Wave Motion Gun or something.

@thorgili

"Ah syndicates, these guys must be-"
>fascist dictatorship
"O-okay"

You know that Geneva-equivalent treaty? Yeah... the Belt may or may not fully adhere to that one. And by that I mean a missile shield is a good investment for the Brits.

You see the avatar above you approaching you in a Virgin Killer sweeter

Some bullshit related to communsim. Because that's the only thing I shitpost in this god-forsaken corner of our meaningless universe.

what has the avatar above you been put in jail for and why?

Jailed for not doing your damn job just because you lost some funding, get back to work you lazy bastard!

@Keyguyperson so are you expecting us to have a history that detailed/long?

@FrostedCaramel

Not at all, I just like writing history.

@catchamber
You can try but it won't happen. Unless, like, literally everyone else demands it.

Just throwing an idea in, but what would you guys think about some sort of Geneva Convention, that lays out a few rules about Interplanetary warfare? Like no orbital bombardment of earth? No use of biological Weaponry that could exterminate Mankind? No development of "planet-Killers"? (I mean, come on...we dont have another habitable world in the system, so we better be careful with the one we have it)

Then again, some could refuse to sign it, which would lead to some sort of diplomatically backlash!

@Elgappa

This could be pretty interesting, if only because everyone would constantly be pointing their fingers at each other and saying "Oh no you di-in't just nuke New York, killing millions of innocent civilians!"

@Keyguyperson

In all my years of roleplaying, I have never read a History so deep and immersive (maybe cause I usually don't read em). Well done my friend, well done.

@LokiLeo789

Thanks comrade.
