Liberty (Map Game)

Ever since the Allied defeat in World War 2, the totalitarian, fascistic dictatorships of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan had ever so slowly assaulted the free, democratic nations of the world. Throughout the latter half of the twentieth century, they, in a combination of sheer force of arms, espionage, and proxy wars, toppled regimes left and right, replacing them with their own vile, bigoted, and authoritarian rule. Little by little, they chipped away at the governments of what remained of the free world. First the Near East, then India, Latin America, and even Britain and her Commonwealth would, one-by-one, kneel and grovel at the uncaring, cold, stone foot of the Third Reich. As the vile pestilence of racist totalitarianism reared its head upon all Earth, the United States of America slowly, but surely, became the sole nation not to have succumbed to the plague that is dictatorship.

That is, until June 17, 1993.

The Axis Powers had long supported white supremacist groups in the Jim Crow South, providing generous funds, shelter to their upper echelons, and even military training to members of the KKK and other such groups. All the while, they made sure any nation that might have had even the slightest chance of intervening in any future conflict in the US for the survival of freedom was crushed under the Fascist heel like a bug under a shoe. They also began spreading discontent and discord with the current state of affairs in the US, dividing the nation over petty squabbles while the populace failed to recognize the looming Nazi threat just outside of its borders. Once all external opposition was silenced, and even America itself could not reasonably bear the "United" portion of its name, the devious Fascists strook.

Pro-Nazi elements in the army mutinied and launched a coup d'état. They stormed the White House and the Capitol and massared everyone in sight. Within two days, Washington was secured. The rest of the country was subdued by early 1995, with the help of several chemical and nuclear attacks. The Land of Freedom and Liberty was gone, replaced by a revived Confederacy, a totalitarian dictatorship under Ezekiel Thalmann, a vile dictator, and firmly in cahoots with the accursed Nazis.

Over the next few years, the rights of the American people were stripped away. Freedom of speech, of the press, and of assembly were things of the past. The FBI was repurposed into an all-seeing secret police that routinely arrested people and sent them to concentration camps for expressing a dislike for the government. Minorities, Jewish-Americans, and Americans of Slavic descent were first disenfranchised and ostracized, then rounded up and sent to death camps scattered across the country. The new and reborn Confederacy was the cornerstone of all public life, and school curriculums were altered to emphasize the Confederacy as the single greatest force in the world, only dwarfed, or course, by the Nazi Party.

It is now 2008. Fifteen years have passed since the coup that brought the Confederacy and Ezekiel Thalmann to power. The fascists have ruined our country and our ideals of freedom with their disgusting perversion of America. However, there is hope. Discontent has been discreetly boiling in the hearts of many an American. The majority of our people still believe in an America where the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is protected under the Constitution. Many have been meeting in secret, and conspiring to restore the ideals America was founded on to the nation. Others have also plotted, but for their own wildly differing reasons. What is apparent, however, is that the populace is on the edge of revolt. The Second American Revolution is imminent and inevitable. Time will only tell if justice and Liberty is restored to the world...

Turn 6 (Q2 2009)

 * Boston Tea Party, Round 2: On April 17, 2009, several members of CLF-Lynn travelled to the irradiated remains of Boston Harbor and dumped what ostensibly was the entire supply of tea remaining in Lynn into the water, in a symbolic re-enactment of the Boston Tea Party. This comes during a time where a substantial portion of Massachusetts is under the control of various democratic groups, and the Massachusetts rebels are keen on demonstrating to their people that they are as loyal to the old United States as John McCain himself. Over the next few months, public support of the CLF in New England would heavily increase.
 * The Followers of Joseph Smith: In a page straight out of Catharsis's book, the Mormon Church has been steadily accruing power in and around Salt Lake City via funding, endorsing, and otherwise buying out the mayor of Salt Lake City, as well as encouraging devout Mormons to run restaurants, shops, and other commercial enterprises on behalf of the Mormon Church. Due to this, a second "Deep State" has sprung up in the Salt Lake City metro area, as the Mormon Church attempts to infiltrate the ranks of local government and the market in order to fulfill their goal of an independent Mormon theocracy of Deseret.
 * America Reborn, pt.3: Despite most of the Confederate Army, including its very best, surrounding John McCain's restored United States at every turn, determined to snuff it out at every turn, America's second iteration survives, and even begins to thrive, following a massive push into the north, towards the city of Lexington and the state capital of Frankfort. With each day, thousands of volunteers from all corners of the nation, and even a few from abroad, flood into Kentucky to fight for the restoration of the American Dream, and there is great hope all around the nation for the eagle to once again rise.
 * Rise of the Speakeasy: The term "speakeasy", once denoting an establishment that served alcohol during Prohibition, has now come to refer to bars, pubs, and restaurants with special, secret "wallrooms" (named after the fact that many of these rooms were painted like walls and made to seemingly blend in with the rest of the wall at first sight) where Thalmann's all-seeing eyes were blinded, and people could do and say whatever they wanted. First arising in 2007 and 2008 in northern Pennsylvania and southern New York, speakeasies by mid-2009 were ubiquitous in the Northeast, and quickly growing in popularity throughout the rest of the country. Speakeasies were usually rife with recruiters for many resistance programs, and also outlets for (technically illegal) criticism of the Thalmann regime. Speakeasies and wallrooms continue to be a testament to the fact that, however much power a dictator may have, they can never take away the ideas of freedom, democracy, and the Constitution from the American people, even though the document itself was incinerated shortly after the 1993 coup, and all dissent ruthlessly suppressed ever since.
 * Metro Philadelphia, pt.3: May 2009 is usually regarded as the beginning of the end for the People's Army of Southern Pennsylvania. Far from any USSA or Sanderite aid, and caught between a rock and a hard place by the previous leadership's idiotic decisions, the PASP have simply just melted away, as they have been pushed back to their foothold in New Jersey, as well as from the outer stations of the Philadelphia Metro. Due to vicious "tunnel warfare", much of the metro infrastructure has been decimated, and several tunnels are close to or have already collapsed. The PASP's time on this earth is limited, and with every day, the mood of the PASP elites becomes even more so exasperated and frantic.
 * The Red Wave: Despite the imminent doom of the PASP, many other socialist and communist groups are flourishing, with the USSA pushing a little further into Cleveland each day, as well as closing in into Akron and taking Canton and much of rural eastern Ohio. The USSA have also pushed into much of far western Pennsylvania, including some of the northeastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, as well as putting Erie, PA, under siege, and even beginning to move into the southwestern corner of upstate New York. Meanwhile, albeit losing the state capital at Montpelier, Bernie Sanders and his Red Brigadiers have consolidated their hold over Burlington and much of western Vermont, and have begun pushing back into central Vermont. Meanwhile, the Union of Appalachia, previously a minor socialist faction, have captured the city of Morgantown, and have begun rapidly expanding in northern West Virginia. Meanwhile, the People's Constitution is drafted, quite similar to the old US Constitution, except including references to Marxist thought. The capital of the USSA is officially declared to be Youngstown (renamed to Marxville).
 * The Zocalo Massacre: As the Republic of Aztlan, as well as several other rebel groups, gain territory in Mexico, the general populace have also begun looking in apprehension at the current state of the world, and especially at the menacing beast of a brother to the north that is the openly racist towards all "non-Aryans" (including all those of Mexican descent) Confederate States of America. On April 15, 2009, thousands of people protested in the Zocalo, in Mexico City, calling for an end to "reactionary Nazi tyranny", the "ungodly" Confederacy, and a return to democracy. These protests would continue, and even grow larger in scope, for a matter of months. Finally, on June 4, 2009, the Mexican government called in much of its military to decimate the protestors, fearing having the Nazis cut their support for the government for entertaining the protestors for too long. Although exact death tolls are still disputed, anywhere between 500 and 9,000 civilians, many of them students at universities or even high schools, were killed in the Zocalo Massacre. This event would incur rage amongst the general Mexican public, and helped to increase the social image of resistance, rebel, and paramilitary groups like the Republic of Aztlan, the Cristeros, the Zapatistas, and even some of the few remaining cartels.

NPC Turns and Mod Responses:

 * Catharsis Insurgency: Recent elections in Berwick have brought Catharsis cronies into power in the city. Meanwhile, aided by the Lakewood Jews, the Binghamton metropolitan area has fallen prey to Catharsis corporate takeover. Catharsis's hold over Syracuse, Albany, and Harrisburg further increases. Meanwhile, Catharsis's hacking of the bank accounts of the Governor of Pennsylvania, as well as almost a full half of the Pennsylvania Senate, opens up many opportunities for political blackmail. The Social Communications Platform has become quite popular with resistance members and counterculture teens (think Reddit crossed with 4chan but with that much more pro-democracy sentiment), and enjoys moderate success.
 * Clef's Little Trip: The Confederate Army releases Clef and his crew, on the condition that they place a tracker on the van to make sure Clef and his buddies don't do illegal things or go to illegal establishments.
 * The Governor of New York: Nothing too big has been discovered yet, although we have discovered the whereabouts of every single one of the Governor's living relatives, his childhood home, every school he has ever went to, and the restaurants and establishments he frequents. Is this useful? Who knows? We gotta keep searching for something bigger, I guess.
 * Lakewood Jews: As many of the Jews are already collaborating with Catharsis, they accept the offer to join it wholesale. The Lakewood Jews have become one of the main benefactors in infiltrating Binghamton, with Mason Heinzmann being elected the mayor of Port Crane, a small town in the outermost suburbs of Binghamton, the first Jew to be elected to public office since before the US fell (of course the Confederacy doesn't know, are you dumb?).
 * Commonwealth Liberation Front: The entirety of the Fitchburg area has been secured, as well as basically all of the satellite communities targeted. This time, the critical mass of dissent in Springfield is triggered, and protests quickly turn into riots and revolution.
 * CLF-Lynn: Although experiencing moderate resistance in Salem, they expand to the north, along I-95.
 * CLF-Springfield: By the end of June 2009, they now control central Springfield, as well as some of the eastern neighborhoods.
 * Front Libre: Grand-Mère and Lac-à-la-Tortue Airport have been captured by Front Libre. Distributed propaganda produces a little bit more of a positive result than previously, but the 3 people who decided to mail Front Libre have uniformly asked if Front Libre intends to uphold democracy or not, with one of those letters endorsing Quebecois independence instead of trying to reform Canada.
 * Cristeros: The Cristeros have captured all of Hermosillo, as well as a few rural communities to the north. Meanwhile, Cristero propaganda continues to spread, and has gained traction outside of Hermosillo and even Sonora, with stolen Cristero posters from Hermosillo prominently displayed in the Zocalo Protests and subsequent massacre in Mexico City itself.
 * Federal Freedom Fighters: The FFF have expanded into essentially all of the former Detroit metropolitan area, as well as much of the sparsely-populated areas of eastern Michigan. FFF forces have also begun approaching Saginaw. Although the FFF operatives in Michigan are found out and jailed faster than in other cities, the small number of people that have encountered them have begun to stage their own passive resistance of Confederate authority, and word that the FFF will be coming to liberate them has spread by word of mouth until almost everyone in the city knows of this rumor. Whether all of them buy it is a different story. Meanwhile, espionage operations against Michigan politicians has turned up precious little of note aside from their personalities and passions. However, a few politicians have been identified as susceptible to bribery or teetering on the edge of disloyalty to the regime. These people could probably be persuaded to back FFF and spill some secrets on Confederate forces in Michigan provided they get sent a few million of the green stuff.
 * EZLN: The Zapatistas have essentially captured all of Monterrey.
 * Aztlan groups: The Republic of Aztlan continues to flourish, as Laredo has been taken by Aztlan militias (save for a couple of areas of resistance), and Brownsville/Matamoros have been put under siege. Aztlan forces also close in on Tijuana, as well as beginning to assert control over Mexicali. Aztlan groups also continue to advance in southern Texas and New Mexico, as well as northern Chihuahua.
 * Navajo Nation/Dinetah: Encountering little resistance (the Confederate Army is preoccupied in other rebellions and simply doesn't treat the Navajo rebellion as important at all), the rebellious Navajo Nation embark on a process to restore order to its controlled territory. Rumors circulating through Arizona, New Mexico, and southern Utah say that the Navajo have brokered deals with the Hopi and Tohono O'odnam reservations, as well as several of the Apache and Ute reservations, in order to found a Native American Alliance hell-bent on expelling the whites from their lands. However, this has not been confirmed by any official party, and remains in the realm of conspiracy theory.
 * Japanese Republican Army: They expand a bit into the Cascades and the northern and eastern suburbs of Portland, OR. Japanese culture continues to be propagated in the rest of the nation through sushi restaurants, anime sections in libraries, and Hentaihaven.

Japanese Espionage Operation

 * Backstory: The Japanese Espionage Operation is a Japanese government funded operation, set up to spy on the current state of America as well as spread further dissent upon the region. They were founded by the Japanese Government with the intent on spying on the USA during WW2 but were shut down shortly after the war. But with the rising tensions between Germany and Japan, along with the rising dissent within the nation. The Japanese Government decided to continue the operation. They filled with fiercely loyal Japanese Nationalists to insure their plans went well. The group landed in Detroit, NY on November 6th, 2008.
 * Organization:
 * Head of Operations: Shinozaki Maruyama
 * Head of Intelligence: Kanyei Chuyo
 * Base of Operations: Detroit, NY
 * Current Funding: High
 * Personnel:
 * Armed Mercenaries: 153
 * Spy Operatives: 254
 * Administrative Officials: 72
 * American Defectives: 423
 * Professional Intelligence Agents: 361
 * Other: 371
 * Statistics:
 * Firearms
 * 293 Machine Guns
 * 181 Pistols
 * 243 Explosives
 * 225 Assault rifles
 * 79 Mortars
 * Diplomacy
 * Alliances
 * Japanese Republican Army (Strong)
 * Lone Star Army (Decent)
 * Events:
 * Preparing to Expand: As more American fugitives join there is more opportunities expand its influence across America. They put a puppet in charge of Detroit with the "Japanese Inquisition" is continued in order to keep the JEO's hold on the city. The Puppet governor keeps tabs on the city and is essentially a glorified watchman keeping the JEO informed on the situation in Detroit. We attempt to move our focus from Detroit to the rest of New York attempting to set up bases across the state, specifically in Manhattan, Albany, New York City, Buffalo, and Brooklyn.
 * Operation Ticonderoga pt1: Operation Ticonderoga is a plan to expand into the rest of New England. The operation first requires an alliance with other organizations in the region and beyond. In order to do this we invite the Catharsis Insurgency, Commonwealth Liberation Front, and other organizations in the far north to a meeting to discuss an alliance and coordinate a sort of "Intelligence Sphere" to share resources and intelligence in order to create a joined effort so that the revolution can continue. The long-term Japanese plan for this is to where if a new government were to be installed by Japan, it would be more stable and people would be more accepting of the new mostly autonomous state. [mod response required]

Federal Freedom Fighters

 * Organisation:
 * Commander (Group Leader): Gary Wellington
 * The Government: The government serves as the body of local and state management for FFF's occupied cities. The Chief of Internal Affairs is served as the 'leader' of what the FFF controls. It is partially separate to the FFF at the lowest level of governance (local communities have their own local community leader but has to be loyal somehow), but it has a lot of ties to it as higher the ranks go, especially the mayors and some representatives: about 35% have no ties but loyalty instead to the FFF while 65% were known to have active links or were members directly (which is 15% out of all).
 * Chief of Internal Affairs (Second-in-Command): Danielle Clover
 * Chief Representative (Legislative Speaker): Henry E. Wells
 * Mayors:
 * Mayor of Flint: Armond Reid
 * Mayor of Detroit: vacant
 * Mayor of Ann Arbor: vacant
 * Centre of Operation: Flint, MI (and its underground tunnel network)
 * 2009 Legislative Elections: From 26th-29th May 2009, about 67.5% of residents in FFF's occupied cities have voted in the 2009 legislative elections for the newly founded Representative Council. The results of that percentage would go on to become the number of seats in the Representative Council. Elections should be held annually at best around the Q2 (April-June) range since halfly is hectic at best and turnout enthusiasm would be lower. This is to ensure that democracy is being restored in a way that makes sense. There were also few other parties that were also founded too, but none had come close to three large parties that people have voted the most. (see below)
 * Liberty and Democracy: The predominant party that most people voted, particularly the millennial set. They aim to restore the United States and a democratic system in place that is not so similar to the pre-1993 government.
 * Classical Democratic Party: A direct democratic party that wants to separate Michigan and any other states into an independent state. They also want a different federal system in mind, one where it is not bound to normal US state boundaries. Again, millennials vote for it because why not, but not Gen X or even the Boomers.
 * Michigan Workers' Party: Influenced perhaps from the rising USSA movements in Ohio, these appeal to the worker class and those who want to join the communist revolution. It is not popular in the FFF and the alliance with McCain meant that their voter base is lower than expected. However, many should warn that it could pose a threat to current democracy imposed by the FFF.
 * The Representative Council: The generically named Representative Council is made up of 30 seats from each of the FFF's own occupied cities, including the rest of Detroit, although much of its voter base is exclusively in the outer suburbs of Detroit. They have legislative power over local cities and towns that the FFF controls. There are three major parties that were elected into the newly created Representative Council.
 * Liberty and Democracy: 23 (77%)
 * Classical Democratic Party: 5 (16%)
 * Michigan Workers' Party: 2 (7%)
 * Personnel:
 * Militants:
 * Armed Militants: 2,100 (+700)
 * Unarmed and Untrained Militants: 550 (+150)
 * Informers: 100 (-50)
 * Administration:
 * Administrators: 70 (+30)
 * Educators: 5 (+5)
 * Financiers: 170 (+50)
 * Propagandists: 280 (+60)
 * Cyberoperators: 40 (+10)
 * Other Full-Time Roles: 380 (+140)
 * Unassigned / Voluntary Roles: 300 (-120)
 * Total: 3,995 (+915)
 * Statistics:
 * Weapons:
 * Firearms: 4,000 firearms. Some of them are modified or came as automatic through smuggling, acquisition from households or bought from the black market. They are primarily of various make and design.
 * Other Ranged Equipment: Roughly 2,400 homemade molotov cocktails/petrol bombs used to target Confederate soldiers and pro-Confederate law enforcement to set them on fire. 46 hunting bows and 5 crossbows are used for distraction.
 * Explosives: 8 successfully made remote bombs, 80 firework rockets, 2 grenades (somewhat smuggled in and looted from occasional Detroit patrols)
 * Melee: 1,020 kitchen knives, 140 lumberjack axes (and vice versa), 50 Swiss Army knives, 2 military-styled daggers and 24 hunting 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. I will stop mentioning that there are other Detroit refugees beyond Lansing/Grand Rapids, MI and Toledo, OH. They get sparse later on so no point.
 * Flint: 65,000 (50,000 [whites] + 15,000 Detroit refugees)
 * Detroit: 148,000 (2,045,872 [outer suburbs] * 0.3 [remainder] * 0.25 [white percentage])
 * Ann Arbor: 107,000 (80,000 [whites] + 24,000 Detroit refugees + 3,000 Asians, since they are fully segregated but slowly reduced by relocation 1990 census says 7.7% were Asian if we go OTL)
 * Saginaw (est., not final): 66,000 (24,000 [whites] + 38,000 Detroit refugees)
 * Lansing (est., not final): 130,600 (74,600 [whites] + 56,000 Detroit refugees)
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Reconnaissance:
 * Lansing: There were 25 purged by the police after being deployed there, but at least five of them are still present in Lansing. With some numbers being replenished to 20, dissident is continued to be spread through letters, along with 'love' letters to vulnerable politicians by mailing is being made, with some money and promises into it to persuade them to access sensitive information regarding the Confederacy and activities in Michigan.
 * State of Michigan: Most of them are purged, down to just 15, but new informer recruits are being sent again, so it is raised back up to 60 this time. Same thing with Lansing, they are bribing local vulnerable politicians. Stealing information from Confederate politicians is now largely on online presence so their operations would be called off.
 * Operations:
 * Acquisition of Detroit (Q2 2008 - Q1 2009):
 * Stage 1 (Q2-Q3 2008): Get close to Detroit as much as possible (after expanding and pushing further to the east), acquire and forge visas to access Detroit as a precaution. (Successful)
 * Stage 2 (Q4 2008): Count the population of what remains of Detroit (since most have fled on 1993), recruit those disgruntled and angered by the Confederacy into the FFF. Exploration of Core Detroit will be done by select few militants with gas masks before moving forward in securing Detroit's surroindings. (Successful)
 * Stage 3 (Q1 2009): Occupy the rest of the 'insecure' part of eastern Michigan and outer Detroit before moving onto Saginaw, Ann Arbor and Lansing. Core Detroit would also need to be secured as well by occupying all the outer suburbs of Detroit. The Canadian side of the Detroit metropolitan area, Windsor, will not be scouted or occupied since it is controlled by fascist Canada (not a top priority of the FFF's interests), not the Confederacy. (Successful)
 * Westward Plans (Q1 2009 - Q3 2009/Q1 2010):
 * Stage 1 (Q1 2009 - Q2 2009): Push for Saginaw and Bay City, seizing them at will, along with the sparsely populated areas of  east Michigan. Infiltration and propaganda letters are also being sent to Saginaw and Lansing too to spread anger and hate for the Confederacy, convincing them to prepare at least for the inevitable. Michigan politicians that are loyal to the Confederacy have their bank accounts and information compromised and to be exposed to the public. (In Progress)
 * Stage 2 (est. Q3 2009 - Q4 2009): Lansing is directly targeted. For other places like Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, more propaganda letters are to be sent there too to convince the same message of hate for the Confederacy. The aim is to ensure that the capital of Michigan falls and that with the occupation of Lansing, the FFF is to make a speech to all people of Michigan to rise up to the public. Exposing Confederate politicians of Michigan is also to be made around that time. (Planned)
 * Stage 3 (est. Q4 2009 - Q1/Q2 2010): Literally "all hell breaks loose". Michigan (except Upper Peninsula) is seized completely through force. At this point, the secondary goal of taking Toledo, OH and other state towns and cities (esp. Chicago) would be staged, but no formal plan is done yet. (Planned) 
 * Events:
 * Where to Invade Next, pt. 2: An assault on Saginaw and Bay City is advanced. With even more militants signed up to fight against the Confederacy and driving three pickup trucks filled with prepped molotov cocktail material (about roughly 100 each) in boxes, along with two bombs to target any Confederate police or military holding/outpost in Saginaw, 1,000 militia have stormed into the somewhat more difficult city to capture with numbers and attacked Confederate security personnel there. In other places, the occupation of eastern Michigan continues with smaller numbers. The march towards Lansing is commenced too, with 600 militia from Ann Arbor and other cities that the FFF has occupied heading towards the capital city. Once Saginaw falls to the hands of the FFF, the 800 militia of the rest will then be diverted to take Lansing on both eastern and northern fronts. There's also a smaller push in the south towards Toledo, but nothing substantial. The goals of exposing Confederate politicians of Michigan and their security is still a high priority, which is explained below.
 * Impending Doom for Sympathisers, pt. 2: Hacking bank accounts of any sympathetic Confederate politicians in Michigan continues into the second quarter of 2009, but any of those with personality traits that can be deemed as vulnerable or exploited are excluded. The same process of exposing more information and secrets of Confederate politicians and generals in Michigan also continues through hacking too, with informers being called off from gathering information about them this time in favour of spreading dissident in Lansing and some other places (in smaller numbers though since the FFF lost a lot). The process of bribing vulnerable Confederate politicians that may harbour thoughts of the FFF is been processed and executed. A preliminary 'loyalty' test is being used to check on the collected personalities and whether they would be fit and stay loyal to the FFF's goals of exposing other and more high-ranking Confederate politicians in Michigan. Once they are deemed possibly loyal whenever they are bribed, money is being funnelled with ~$1,800,000 looted from banks (not too much, the FFF needs to maintain a huge financial asset and that there is some high scepticism surrounding existing Confederate politicians) through concealed 'love' letters to select vulnerable politicians. [mod response required]
 * Recuperating Informer Numbers: The arrests and purges of informers were high enough that replenishing them in numbers has outpaced with the number of informers arrested and disappeared. At least some were willing to become informers with more cities coming into control and signing up for membership within the FFF. However, this time, it is a different environment: they have to be ready to send bribe mails and have to avoid catching the presence of the FBI and the Confederacy. So, it is a do or die situation and numbers have gone down for informers unfortunately. The next mission took most of the informer numbers to the maximum resources that the FFF has to offer.
 * Educational Restart: A year on, there are about very few people beginning to sign up to restart education. There is no huge fund or a big push from the FFF's own self-managed government yet, they are a voluntary task of teachers who held negative sentiment against the Confederacy in the past (the Confederate curriculum has emphasised biology, eugenics, race and history over arts, creativity, expression and freedom of thought) and still do now. Weekly, makeshift classes in libraries and community centres would be held for children aged 15 and lower, but since these are voluntary, there are no incentives and only few dozen would show up at best. These aims of teaching children in these makeshift classes are for deradicalisation purposes - something that the FFF has something to consider in the future, but not yet pushed as they do not have the funding and that administration is just beginning to form and solidify this year.
 * Ideological Things in the FFF: As in the 2009 elections held above, the FFF has seen a diverse amount of people voting for different principles and beliefs for what they should bring for Michigan and beyond. This may even shift in the next year's election, with more cities and people falling into the hands of the FFF, more seats would be created and any of the three parties could ultimately change the fate of the FFF.
 * Finance (repeat excerpt from previous turns): Any form of looting and tampering of ATMs and banks, along with any valuables like weapons and resources to make bombs are still being made. For budgeting, the FFF will invest in money for munitions and weapons in the black market, but there will be some of it being stored in underground Flint.

We try our best to spread our message and get more followers to end the regime that loves flirting with the Nazis.
 * Police clashes Clashes: Our clashes with incoming police forces trying to retake our areas continues. With more and more people supporting us it gets harder for the police to take us down.
 * Money making: We get our funds to the organization either from donations and the member's own money. With us finally taking over a part of Hermosillo the members in the takeover have put everything they have in the movement if they don't have anyone else to support like their families to example. We also gets funds from some of the Aztlan groups. Will be different when the Rival Government is declared.
 * Eastern Exapnsion Towards San Miguel de Horcasitas : An Expansion towards the municipalities just east of us begin we hope to expand a little bit further east than that too if we managed to but San Miguel de Horcasitas is our goal.
 * Organizing a "Rival Government": The Cristeros start organizing a rival government to the one in Mexico City it will be declared in a few months (Next Turn)
 * Condemn The Zocalo Massacre: The Cristeros condemns the massacre and call it an atrocity and that this really show us that the Mexican Government is something we shouldn't trust and that we need a new government immediately.
 * Other Propaganda: Propaganda posters saying that "The Cristeros Will Bring Justice for The Zocalo Massacre" and "You Can't Trust the Regime Anymore" diplaying Mexican troops with Nazi symbols shooting on protesters starts to pop up here and there in different towns in Sonora.

Catharsis Insurgency

 * Organisation:
 * Triumvirate: Michael Scott, Jack Bright, Alto Clef
 * Main HQ/Centre of Operations: Dunder Mifflin Paper Company Inc. Scranton Branch Office and Warehouses, several other offices; Scranton, PA.
 * Catharsis Triumvirate: The head of Catharsis, led by the Triumvirate itself. Oversees most of the decisions and operations conducted by the Insurgency.
 * Logistical Administration of the Deep State: The face of the Deep State itself, second only to the Triumvirate. Oversees departments that administrate communities under the Deep State and carries out secretive programs unable to be officially executed by the representative administrations on the surface. Headed by Director Jean Karlyle Aktus.
 * Free America Polity: The largest faction within the Insurgency, with most members calling for the ultimate goal for the Insurgency to free America from the Confederacy.
 * Socialists United Collective Camp: The organised communist branch of the Insurgency, a proto-political party with the intention of implementing socialism by way of election once a democratic America is restored. A fair amount were present at the Fourth Internationale, with some actually recruited there after Clef crashed the event.
 * Personnel:
 * Administrators: 130
 * Trained Fighters: 2,000
 * Intelligence Operatives: 900
 * Spies: 80
 * Financial Operatives: 2,100
 * Shadow Operatives: 370
 * Untrained Personnel: 510
 * Total: 6,090
 * Firepower:
 * Firearms: Approximately 4,000 working firearms of varying condition and make.
 * Melee Arms: Several hundred kitchen knives, several hundred hardware tools such as hammers, saws, axes, etc; 7 sets of fencing equipment, 6 swords, 2 katanas.
 * Explosives: Several homemade molotov cocktails/petrol bombs in excess of 700, 80 thermite explosives (these things are hard and risky to make), little over 400 fireworks and firecrackers.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Japanese Espionage Operation: While the Catharsis Insurgency is delighted by the willingness of the Japanese Empire to help the American peoples, we make it clear that the future of America will be determined by Americans and Americans alone, and that the vision of America becoming nothing more than a Japanese acquisition is wholly out of the question. However, the Insurgency is willing to cooperate in the mean time to coordinate said "Intelligence Sphere".
 * Events:
 * A Source of Income: For now, the financial assets of the Insurgency are courtesy of its members. Workers of all collar colours work to provide any money they can for the Insurgency's cause. More recently, attempts to hack obscure bank accounts are being pursued as a method of income.
 * Propaganda Time: Intelligence operatives (a fancy word for people who know how to use technology, from normie millenials to near-professional hackers, the latter of which we only have like 15 of) begin disseminating memes within online communities on social media such as Facebook, Twitter and via throwaway emails (if any of these services exist). Known as "boomer memes", these images are intended to subtly hint at flaws in the government or the massacres committed by the Confederacy. TV stations within the Deep State are allowed a more lenient program, taking care to stay under the Confederate radar.
 * Militia Training: Members of the CI Militant Ops are sent for firearms classes, with options provided for specialisation courses such as martial arts,  sniper training and archery. Training is also provided for affiliate organisations, such as the Lakewood Jewish groups and the odd USSA member.
 * Recruitment: Whitelisted Scrantonites that have gone through background checks by the Insurgency are approached with the intention of recruitment into the Insurgency. So long as they have no connections to the Confederacy, the police force or their sympathisers, and are generally against the government or advocates for freedom and liberty, they are welcome within the insurgency. Gangs are also approached with the intention of expanding the Insurgency Shadow Ops and militia. The Insurgency hopes to increase their ranks by the hundreds, if not thousands.
 * The New Youth: Minor amendments are made to curriculums in Deep State settlements, with emphasis on slowly decreasing the blatant racism and discriminatory teachings set in place by the perfidious Thalmann regime. It is done gradually, such that any none-Deep State authority visiting would not find anything out of place.
 * Munition Works: A few factories in Scranton are set aside for the underground manufacture of bombs and ammunition for guns that the Insurgency has stockpiled.
 * Bomb's the Word: About 15 imitation nuclear warheads have been completed and stored within a shielded shipping container.
 * The Deep State Triangle: Plans have been drawn up to begin expanding the Deep State even further. The most ambitious among the Insurgency aim to bring the Deep State to every community within a triangular area with a perimeter straddling Syracuse, Harrisburg and Albany. [Mod Response Required]
 * Operation Black Square: The most expansive operation to date, Operation Black Square aims to bring Utica, Amsterdam, Oneonta and Rome into the influence of the Deep State. A diverse range of tactics is to be used, including participation in elections both fairly and riggedly, infiltrating corporations and state institutions, establishing speakeasies, bribing officials, conducting assassinations, among others. Three quarters of all operatives are sent to these cities to spread the Deep State. Executed
 * Operation Trinity: The 15 imitation warheads were not developed for nothing. This operation will see the dispersal of these imitation warheads to 15 different cities of significance on the Eastern Seaboard in an attempt to cause as much panic as possible to Thalmann's perfidious regime. Transportation of these warheads is done in several methods. 7 are packed into specialised containers that will slowly lose the ability to contain the amounts of radiation leaked by the warheads, permitting their detection by Geiger counters upon discovery. These are hidden in normal shipments of whatever, and sent out on trucks from anywhere in and out of the Deep State. The other 7 are to be taken by operatives themselves to their destinations on a faux roadtrip. They are provided with expansive alibis and contingents (some armed) that would follow them and help in the event a small roadblock threatens to blow their cover. As for the last warhead, it is designed to give out almost 5 times the amount of radiation the other 14 do, albeit non-threatening to humans. Clef had specifically requested that he'd "take the big one to Thalmann's backyard and make him shit his Nazi toe-licking ass", and as such, it is transported to Bedford by a small inconspicuous convoy where it will change hands with Clef before making his way to Thalmann. (the city, not the pommy bastard that runs this circus) Pending execution (waiting for Clef)
 * Deep State, Deep Web: The SCP network is publicised within speakeasies, aiming to grow the digital platform to unite all Americans with the desire to restore a United States with freedom and human rights. Jokingly known as the Speakeasy Comm(unications)plat(form), the Commplat now hosts more and more servers catered to the interests of its users. Of the many developers of the SCP/Commplat/Speakeasy, the minds of Christopher Poole, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, new forums have now sprung up including socialist groups, anti-Confederate boards, general communication lines and even Japanese sites where Pokemon games and hentai flow freely outside the eyes of the Thalmann regime. Efforts are also carried out to bring the SCP to other resistance groups via emails or even snail mail.
 * Clef's Adventure: Familiar with underhanded tactics the government and FBI use to stalk citizens, he and his party stop over at a McDonalds to discuss the next course of action. Over a few burgers, they decide to head over to Toledo, where they ditch the car in a parking lot and buy a 2002 Ford Ecoline at a used car dealership. Thus begins a long journey home avoiding the socialist groups for fear of being stopped again by a roadblock until they reach Bedford. Clef also takes this opportunity to send snail mail to Bright and Scott back at the Deep State to inform them of his plans.
