Platform: Modern Chinese-style Communist State, with influence from Cuba.

Important Individuals: 
Primer John Browder, Public Communist Sympathizer, puppet for the Chinese government
General Zhu Fuxi, Supreme Commander of the APSF Military Forces, assigned to oversee the war for the Chinese Government.

Territory: Occupying the entirety of Florida and Louisiana, as well as the southern halves of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, and the Gulf Coast region of Texas.

History: The Communist revolution in the USA, did not come from the Communist Party like many would expect. Instead, the formation of the military-political faction that would become the American People's Salvation Front found its origins in Anti-War Chinese Sympathizers, aided and influenced by Chinese and Cuban espionage agents shipped to the mainland from Cuba. Starting in Florida, the movement managed to gain followers under a guise of ending the war, deposing the unpopular regime, and instigating one chosen by the people, for the people. John Browder was chosen for his excellent public speaking skills, and his willingness to serve the Chinese government as a de-facto puppet.

Successfully disarming the National Guard and converting many of its members, with aide from munitions brought in prior to the breakdown of the United States by the Chinese and Cubans, the APSF seized control of the state of Florida, and quickly spread both further north, and along the Gulf Coast. With military leadership supplied by the Chinese, and troop training on par with that seen in the People's Liberation Army, the APSF quickly captured territory in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the coastline of Texas. 

Now seeking to consolidate their forces, build some semblance of defense after such a rapid expansion, and ensure a constant supply flow from China to Cuba to the mainland US, the APSF is currently seeking legitimization and acknowledgement from the world stage as the Free People's Republic of America. Currently, China, North Korea, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and the Communist Party-led government of Nepal back this claim. However, much of the world still does not recognize the fledgling state, and diplomatic attempts to establish relations have been met with failure in most of the nations on Earth.

Military Forces:
The American People's Salvation Front is primarily composed of Infantry utilizing Chinese-based tactics and training, with Americans making up the bulk of combat units, but Cubans and Chinese comprising much of the support staff for the forces. Weapons are primarily those seized from National Guard and US Military armories, such as the M16 line of rifles, with recent supply shipments bringing in Chinese Type 95 and Type 03 automatic rifles, as well as the occasional crate of Cuban AKM assault rifle. Rumors persist that the Chinese have brought in cyber-warfare experts, designed to infiltrate any and all electronic systems used by the other various factions involved in the civil war. There have also reportedly been sightings of Chinese special forces operating on the frontlines, though China denies providing anything beyond support staff and munitions. The Chinese navy has provided shipping of supplies and protection of these convoys, but they have not begun active involvement in the war. Likewise, heavy equipment such as tanks, aircraft, or artillery emplacements have not been provided by the Chinese, with any found to have been American models, captured from military and national guard installations.

Thanks to a completely foreign support staff and political structure, the APSF is able to field more infantry than expected for a rebellion group. Their fortifications are well-manned, and well-built, and they have consolidated their forces well throughout their territory.
