Federal Freedom Fighters

 * Backstory: The Federal Freedom Fighters (or the FFF) is a group of ragtag individuals (initially during its foundation in 2006-07) who don't like the existence of the Confederacy. These ragtag individuals are millennials and some old people (not like the boomers though, more like Gen X) who never grew up or have lost their right to vote and all things. The millennials are basically people who have been taught with some fundamentals of democracy and things, but they have never grew to experience it under the Confederacy, especially those who came late in the millennial generation. On the other hand, Gen X members were really frustrated on the restrictions of democracy and eventually freedom of speech, to the point that the Confederacy just outright removed them altogether, they joined in this group because they sought to recreate the American Dream that came with their taste of democracy. They want democracy and all of these free things again. When the black population declined, they secretly grew their membership numbers as the Confederacy made them disappear one by one, until almost none of them, if not all are gone from the town. Of course, this ragtag group began to grew organised when few of their members suddenly went missing every secret talk underground too. Their hiding place and talking quarters is a small tunnel network across few homes. So they started to become radical and slowly stockpiled weapons. The local police and the FBI are becoming suspicious of an organisation, but they don't really care because Flint is a small town, even when there were like a lot of Detroit refugees coming into the place as well. These people have lost their homes from nuclear attacks, so they want to also avenge those that were killed too. By this point, just after organising it into a proper organisation than being a ragtag group with no skills, they decide to screw over the town of Flint and take over it with some firearms by bribing some of the families into buying them.
 * Summarised: Millennials and Gen X want democracy so they talk in secret. Millennials want democracy because why not and some probably never even grew up (esp. those teens) and Gen X are basically those who have lived through a time of freedom but they don't have it. Flint has some Detroit refugees and blacks in Flint began to disappear, along with some of their members, causing them to arm and take over the town.
 * Organisation:
 * Group Leader (First-in-Command): Gary Wellington
 * Second-in-Command: Danielle Clover
 * Main Headquarters / Centre of Operation ('de facto' capital): Flint, Michigan and some random underground tunnel networks beneath Flint
 * Personnel / Military:
 * Armed Militants: 250
 * Unarmed Militants: 130
 * Administrators: 15
 * Informers (scouts): 50
 * Other Members (with other roles): 300
 * Total: 845
 * Statistics:
 * Weapons:
 * 300 firearms, only few of them are modified or came as automatic through smuggling. They are primarily of various make and design too.
 * An unidentified number of homemade molotov cocktails/petrol bombs (but likely less than few hundred) and numerous attempts to make other bombs too.
 * An unidentified number of kitchen knives used for melee and close combat.
 * Cities: This is for reference and I do these statistics because they help me calculate the final population as of 2008.
 * Flint: 65,000 roughly (~50,000 remaining [whites only] + ~15,000 Detroit refugees)
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Events:
 * Just Taking Over a Town: For the first three months of 2008, Flint is under a huge fight with surprise attacks coming out of nowhere in obscure houses and tunnels, armed with petrol bombs and kitchen knives. The FFF targeted local police and any suspected personnel belonging to the FBI or even the military (which might be unlikely in a small town like Flint) by directly throwing them with homemade petrol bombs and then shooting them randomly. Shops were plundered, especially two gun stores, where ammunition and any weapons were looted and used to help secure Flint. By late March, the boundary of Flint has been taken over, with some smoothing of the boundaries being made so it doesn't look as cancerous.
 * Note: I used the term petrol bombs instead of gasoline bombs (esp. in the US context where it is called gasoline), I got influenced by HK protests a lot and some news outlets label molotov cocktails as petrol bombs. If you want change though, I could do that.
 * Liberating Lives: With the fighting over Flint continuing across the first quarter of 2008, efforts to convince those who were unaware of the FFF were asked to join in exchange for the promise of a functioning democratic government. Propaganda and posters defaming and mocking the Confederacy were being posted at walls of occupied Flint, telling residents of Flint to "wake up" and "speak for their own voices", with a promise of a "new future". All of these posters weren't graphically good (due to the fighting and Flint isn't a city), they were printed out hastily with big bold black text over a blank white paper or were written in permanent marker.
 * Reconnaissance: Scouts and informers are sent to nearby suburbs and towns of Flint (range is up to Saginaw, MI). Their purpose is to gather information and find any vital infrastructure and presence of any personnel, be local police, FBI or the military of the Confederacy. Since Flint is roughly rural and smaller in size thanks for the purging of most of its black population, the same could be assumed to other towns.
