"The only thing all humans are equal in is Death."

— Commander Johan

The Revolutionary Free State or by the acronym RFS are de-facto autonomous territories controlled by the Libera Populares and it's support base. Founded in 1645 following the Populares uprising in Ustaria, the Revolutionary Free State is compromised of vast swathes of the Great Plains and has seized control of territory from the countries of Barcasia, Cedronia, Sertoria, Balkadia, Prenthia and Ustaria.

The Revolutionary Liberation Army, or RLA, does not hold any power in the autonomous communes. According to its constitution, no commander or member of the Clandestine Revolutionary Army Committee may take positions of authority or government in these spaces. Instead, local militias, called the Populares Militas patrol and police their respective regions. Despite this, the RLA is the largest army in Seres with soldiers numbering in one or two million. Much of these however are poor peasants or tribesmen, and as a result, RLA soldiers tend to serve for several months at a time, and then return home to spend most of the year farming or to tend to their herds.

Background

Believes that humanity’s “deep history” keeps it from forming a unified civilization, and this “deep history” - the blood soaked in the soil and the border-scars carved into the land - are what led the planet's apocalyptic failure it is currently going through. The need for a “Year Zero” to reset everything is paramount and this will be accomplished by the mass-destruction of all historical data, erasing all records of conflict and division, religions and old philosophies and ideologies, and starting over.

There is no good and no afterlife, with the belief being that the only life to care about is the present life being lived. Teaches that humans should not be inhabited to archaic social norms and morales however in order to truly enjoy this life all humans must be liberated from their chains of the Old World.

Economy

The RFS is dominated by the economic theories of anarcho-unionism and has established give-away shops, worker cooperatives and democratic schools throughout their territories. Regional councils were also created. Organization and propaganda teams worked with agitating the populace, both to get the farmer's support and to get them to create independent village assemblies and committees.

The RFS operates without currency, private property, and any kind of class structure. Instead, the economy is run on a bartering system and mutual aid.
