Commonwealth of socialist republics

Names
Official name: Commonwealth of socialist republics

Common name: Commonwealtheia / Wealtheia

Acronym: CSR

Etymology: The reason the Commonwealth named itself the way it did, is in truth very simple. During the final discussions of the pro-evacuations assembly, the nations attempted to alter the CIR name to distinguish themselves from the CIR whilst keeping much the same in a hope to make the transition as easy as possible. Leading to the creation of the Commonwealth's name.

Commonwealth: simply meaning, collective, federation, union or the like. Socialist: Taking in its most simplest form. Meaning; for the people, or for the good of the people. To put the people first before everything else. This is where the CSR, splits from the CIR. Due to it willingness to do anything for the good of the people. Republics: Meaning, nations or states, regardless of how they wish to govern themselves, as long as the people are content.

Overview
The Commonwealth of socialist republics is a democratic federation of independent republics. That spreads throughout western and southern parts of the former European continent now known as Theia minor. From the isles of Patheia to the region von Dalvanberg. It works as a centralised governing body overseeing (insert number here) member states. It is in charge of ensuring the rules and regulations of the Requiem Agreements agreed upon by member states are followed, keeping an active military, policing between states, undertaking megaprojects, producing interstate law, keeping of stockpiles of resources, etc.

Each individual member state must give a proportion of their resource to the Common reserve that will be distributed to the most impoverished nation to help improve them for the good of the entire commonwealth. These resources are also used on the commonwealth military as well as large stockpiles of food and supplies to be used in times of crises.

When it comes to states government. The nations are allowed to conduct themselves however they see fit. As long as it falls within the confines of the United terrain agreements (UTA) as well as any of the other integration agreements that member states sign upon joining the commonwealth.

Government
The federal government is divided into 3 main branches. Social, economic and military.

Social (The assembly)
The social government is an assembly of representatives from each individual state. With 1-5 individuals per-state, and at least one individual to represent each regions within the state including any Autonomous regions. The position of representative can only be hold by an individual for up to 10 years with most being replaced during the reshuffle of the social government, that also occurs every 10 years. During the moving of the commonwealth capital.

During discussions, each nation is given the opportunity to bring up any issues, projects, and laws as well as any number of other issues that may affect the commonwealth as a whole. These are then discussed at length to see the effects the issues may have on the commonwealth. Once the discussion comes to an end. A vote is taken on whether it will be approved or dismissed.

Each nation is given at least a single vote, but additional votes can be added dependent on the amount the nation contributes to the commonwealth as well as the sizes of the nation population. These additional votes are constantly under scrutiny to ensure they are going to the right nations.

To keep order during these discussion 5+ adjudicators are in use throughout the discussion ensuring that every voice/nation is heard. These individual must be unbiased so normally come from Neutral states. They are picked at random and must never have interactions with the other adjudicators to suppress the possibility of corruption. With great effort put in place to ensure this occurs.

Economic (The Standard Corporation)
The economic government is made up of individuals from throughout the commonwealth that have become the best in their respective field. They are normally CEOs of companies that have been bought out by the commonwealth due to the company becoming essential to the workings of the economy.

All issues that the Social government have approved must go through the Economic government for approval. The individuals will investigate the effects the issues will have and produce extensive evidence on why it will or will not work. The evidence they produce will then go through other experts chosen at random to ensure the legitimacy of the evidence submitted. Once the evidence is submitted, it will then return to the Social government for final approve or dismissal. In addition to this they are also in charge of the distribution of taxes and other resources to the various nations and other branches of Commonwealtheia. Finally, they keep records of were resources in each nation is going to ensure no nation become corrupted.

Military (The Common line)
The military government is essentially made up of the best generals from throughout the commonwealth, working together to keep the peace. They are in charge of the commonwealth's legions and are the default government in times of crisis.

In issues approval they are the final part of the process ensuring that any change to the function of the commonwealth will not effect the nations security or ability to defend itself. In addition to this they will also conduct investigations into acts member states militaries are taking. Ensuring that state militaries are devoid of corruption and that any actions they may take are legal and not against the UTA.

In times of crises the social government may call upon the military government to take control of the nation. For this to happen a 70% majority vote must be achieved within the Assembly. If it is, then the military is given extensive powers like the ability to suspend election, establishing martial law, suspending the economy, creating a resource-based economy, etc. These measures may stay in place for up to 5 years and then another vote will take place to see if their control of the country is still required. Throughout the crises the social government may stripe the military of their powers but must have a 55% majority.

The commonwealth military is made up of at least one legion from each non-neutral member state. They are trained together and given the best equipment that the commonwealth can produce. These soldiers are called upon during times of war and will fight for the entire commonwealth not for their home state. The member-states may commit their own troops to the cause if they like. But does not need to. However, they cannot remove their given legion from the commonwealth military.

All commonwealth soldiers in addition to being trained for conflict are also trained in construction, farming, mining, and other essential roles, so then they are able to be called upon to improve infrastructure within impoverished states. The commonwealth military has many training areas throughout the nation as well as owning farms and some factories, removing their reliance on the nations tax systems or the common reserve.

OIA
Official, Identified, Anonyms. The three branches of the commonwealth's internal intelligence agency and governmental oversite. Ensuring that the rules and regulations of the Requiem agreements are followed, by both individual states and the commonwealth itself.

O's
At the highest level of the OIA you have O's or Officials. They are individuals chosen by each of the three branches of government. Their job is to enter governmental buildings like banks and military installations and expose any corruption within the organisation. In addition, they are also required to bring up any breaches of the agreements during the assembly meetings. They must have evidence on the breaches and information on how they acquired it. Finally the O's are required to be the intermediate between the I's and the government. Relaying breaches of the agreements to the government ensuring that actions are taken.

O's like I's are required to keep their identity secret. To ensure that they can not be corrupted or bribed by the states or organisations. Due to this they normally identify themselves as and O or I depending on which branch they are from. However when interacting with other O's or I's they are still required to uses code name and to not revile to much of their personal lives.

I's
I's or Identified. These are individuals that can blend into the background. Watching as the world goes by. They are those that seek out to break the agreements. To live on the streets, to see how long it is till a policeman comes to help. or loss their job to see how long they are allowed to live off the benefit system. Before the government comes to give them a job. They are the ones that act. To see what is broken.

They are at first chosen by the O's. However as soon as the O of I's are created within the area the I's will locate and train prospective I's. To do this they are first scouted by the O of I's. To determent whether they have the right aspects to become a I. Then the Prime I or PI requests the O to do a background cheek on the prospective I. If they pass then the O in charge of that sector will approach them with the areas PI requesting their assistants. If they agree to join, then all information collected on them will be destroyed and they will begin training with the PI.

For the most part the position of I is nothing more than a unpaid hobby or passion. Working for the greater good to ensure the agreements are followed on the personal level. Whilst they are sometimes asked to do something or other, that may effect their lives they are not required to actually do them if they don't want too. Instead they can just be observers. Being the eyes of the O. Watching the people of their area, ensuring that their needs are met.

When it comes to the PI position, they are actually paid a full time wage similar to that of the O's or governmental representatives. This is due to the full time nature of the post. The continues meetings of the O of I's, evaluating evidence procured by the I's and interacting with their sectors O. This position isn't a easy one and always under scrutiny, by the other I's. To become a PI they must be elected to the position by showing their dedication to the agreements and the O of I's. However once they are elected they can be removed by the other I's if they have been incapable of doing the job properly. Though the O of I's require relevant evidence that the PI had been unable to do the job, and to show the evidence to both the other I's and their sectors O. If the sectors O believes the evidence to be insufficient or falsified then they will have it first outsourced to ensure that it is or isn't. Then disband the O of I's if it is found to be insufficient and have the PI moved to a new area for their own security and create a new O of I's with a relocated PI from another area.

A's
Anonyms. This is the simplest branch of the OIA. There is no structure. No leadership. No oversite. No names. No O's or I's or O of I's. They are everywhere and everyone. They are your friend and your enemy. They are the priests and the scientists. They are your mother and your farther. They are anonyms. The eyes that watch everything.

They are the common men and women of our great Commonwealtheia. The people, that watch and listen. The common folk that live and breath our Requiem, and will scream at the government when their agreements are broken. The A of the OIA, are everywhere and will not be ignored.

Capital
The commonwealth capital is unusual in how it operates. Instead of it being placed in a singular state and city, like most nations capitals. The commonwealths capital relocates every 10 years during the reshuffle of the social government. This is in part to assist in the integration of new member states, as well as to decrease any belief in preferential treatment for a certain city or state.

The federal government will establish itself in the most impoverished of the member state, using pre-existing buildings like stadiums, event halls or the like. From there it will conduct it operations. In addition to using the surplus recourses from the Common reserve to improve the local and national infrastructure. In the majority of cases the Common lines legions will also be mobilized to the region. To assist emergence services as well as using their expertise in improving the infrastructure of the state.

In the event that multiple states require improvement or assistants by the national capital. A impartial lottery will be held to determine the host state for the next 10 years. With legions being deployed to the others assisting with the improvement of the state. These projects will continue for the next 8 year of the capital habitation of the state. With thing slowing down during the last two. Beginning the process of moving the capital to the next state, relocating non-important or immediate issues to the next host building before the move begins. However legion will continue to operate within the state for the next two relocation cycles, or in until it is determined that the state no longer needs federal support returning control back to the local governments.

Whilst you would be forgiving to believing that the federal government would supersede the local government during its occupation of the state. This is not the case. In fact the federal government will work in tandem with or even be subordinate to the local government. No matter the form that government takes. whether that be a monarchy, empire or republic. The federal government is only there to conduct discussions on commonwealth law and actions. Whilst also assisting in the improvement of it host state. As per the host states instruction of what it and the local Scribes believe would help the citizenry the most.

In regard to how the capital is received in the new host state, it can vary dependent on the situation. However the transition is something of a quiet affair. The arrival of the capital not being something to celebrate. Both due to seeing a celebration as a waste of money/resources that can be use elsewhere, as well as its arrive meaning there is a problem with that state. From a commoners point of view, the arrival of the capital is normally see as a good thing, due to how much is improved within the nation. Roads will be repaved, houses will be cleaned or rebuilt, hospitals will get new equipment whilst Common line will be on hand improving emergence response times. All of this and more will be utilized for free on the behave of the commonwealth people.

Whilst some may see this as a waste of the tax payers money. it is in fact, helping the commonwealth in the long run. With the states infrastructure improved the states becomes more effective economically meaning more taxes that can be used on improving the other nations of the commonwealth. furthermore the common line gets hands-on training. Rather than being stuck in camps away from the people, they are out within the community. seeing how they are making a difference. The soldiers learn to build. Something that can help in building defences or seeing the best defensible location in a urban environment. Medics help the ambulance service. Getting constant real life practice in life and death situations. Engineers help maintain the fleet of emergence vehicles, and even civilian vehicles. giving them a vast amount of experience that can help improve the Common lines tanks and other vehicles. These and many more reasons, is why to commonwealth capital relocates to new cities. The vast might of Commonwealtheia used every day to improve the lives of the common citizen. Which is the commonwealths only goal.

Physical geography
The commonwealth as stated before, exists on the former European continent now known as Theia minor. Mainly what used to be described as southern and western Europe. However the world has changed a lot since then. Now what used to be called the Mediterranean sea has became a large salt flat with lakes of brine water scatted around the area. These lake are thankfully fed by fresh water rivers. Allowing for some plant and animal life to cling on around these areas.

These deserts and burning salt flats are the staple of the region, with large weeks long sand storm coating the south of the nation in sand and salt, making farming difficult to mostly impossible. Thankfully for those of the region, mountains and creators are scattered throughout the region. Creating areas sheltered from the storms and heat of the deserts allowing for faming and small habitations, hidden in the shadows of the giants.

As you move north the mountains become a constant, until they finally falls away. Leaving a large tropical rainforest like biome in the south east of the country around the former Balkans region. This area is high in biodiversity with multiple races living in the area. Due to the high amount of possible food sources in the region.

In the west of the country the climate becomes a land of two extremes. In the summer, it is 40+ on average. Causing the deciduous forests to loss their leaves as the land bakes. whilst in winter the region cools to -40 below zero, again causing the trees to loss their leaves. The only time of the year that the weather is moderate is spring and autumn. When the heat of the deserts are countered by the frozen winds of the tundra and ice capes of the north. Even with the constantly changing weather, the lands are fertile and lush, with hardy plant that can stand the chaotic climate.

The most temperate regions of the commonwealth is everything past the creators and mountains of Dalvanberg (formally known as 15 degree east) around the former nation of Germany to the northern parts of France, ending over the hollow sea to that of the Alterran north in Patheia. These areas are filled with a patch work of fields and forests. Where cities and towns sprout from the sea of green adding to the picture perfect lands of north west Commonwealtheia.

finally entering northern Commonwealtheia the climate takes a sudden turn cooling quickly as you move north. Soon the fields will give way to evergreen forests covered most of the year in snow and ice. From there on the temperature plumbates to 40 below. Freezing the former Baltic sea into a continues glacier that covers the hole of the rest of the commonwealth.

In conclusion the commonwealth is made up of multiple constantly changing biomes and climates. That controls how the people of the nation lives and works. It has shaped there lives since before the commonwealth had existed and will continue to shape their lives long after it falls. The chaotic world has shaped there beliefs and culture to except different and change in to their heart. Building them into the nation of acceptance that they are today.

History
(Note: The history of the commonwealth is currently incomplete. Due to the vast amount of nation in which the commonwealth is made up of, and those nation not having been produced the history of the commonwealth can not be produced to it fullest extent. However there is a brief overview of what is currently in place, and what I wish nation of the commonwealth will follow. Again for those interested in helping with the commonwealth please contact us. Thank you.)

On the 29th of July 1697.pdm. At the tails end of the Dalvanberg krieg, during the height of the Hades Trident epidemic. The nations of the VBM, Patheian union (and other eastern and western nations to be added later.), declared their independents from the CIR, establishing the Commonwealth of socialist republics and the signing of the Requiem agreements.

This came after months of watching as Trident sweep through their land, killing millions in it wake. The lockdowns and quarantines that the CIR had enacted doing little to stop its spread. The majority of the nations of the CIR, demanded a more drastic solution. Leading to the evacuation agreement. A proposal to evacuate the nations with the highest number of cases to nation with the lowest. Through testing, quarantining and evacuating the non-infected. Hoping that in doing so the number of people getting infected would drop. This proposal was seen by the central nations of the CIR as an attempt by western, and eastern nation to take control over their lands and people. Continuing to stop the proposal from passing. After a mouth of arguing the nations that wished to evacuate and those willing to accommodate them declared their separation and independents from the CIR, and the establishment of the CSR. The next day tens of thousands of trucks, ships, zeppelins and planes were modelized across the newly established CSR, beginning the evacuation of the central and eastern states (nations to be named later).

On the 13th of October 1697, after months of receiving requests by the people of (nation to be named) to help them escape. Then hearing about the nations military opening fire on their citizens during a peaceful protest. The CSR invaded (nation to be named), practically declaring war on the CIR. Sparking hostilities along the western and central border. Though neither side could devote any real resources to any kind of war, due to the epidemic. However the CSR leadership fearing having to fight a war on two fronts, against both the CIR and the Union once the epidemic was over began making plans to remove one of them as a threat. So at the beginning of 1698 after months of discussions, the CSR sent bombers over Union territory. Painted white and sporting a red cross, the bombers began dropping thousands of packages with all the information the CSR had on trident, as well as a request for a peace treaty, between the two federations. The response came quickly, with discussions resolving the war within a month, and the official peace treaty being signed on the 1st of February 1698 within the Bibliothek kapitel of St miller. Officially ending the Dalvanberg krieg.

Things were going well for the CSR. The evacuation were coming along nicely and the number of infected had dropped drastically, proving that the evacuations where working. But things quickly changed. As the refugees intermingled with the locals. The clash of cultures began to spark tensions within cities throughout western CSR. Soon tensions became protests and protests became riots. Then on the 14th of May 1698 a airship carrying 500 refugees consisting of only families with children under 13 years old. Was blown up over the Scattered isles, killing all but 3 of the refugees.

Within days of the explosion the refugees began protesting, and rioting, demanding that they be allowed to return home. Quickly the evacuations came to a abrupt stop, as the evacuating nations demanded that something be done to protect the refugees and threatening to re-join the CIR. In response the CSR assembly convenes to discuss the international tensions on the 20th of May 1698. It was quickly decided that the current agreements weren't good enough to ensure the unity of the peoples from so many different countries, and that a new agreement was required. leading to the creation of the integration agreement. A list of action that the nations of the CSR must follow to ensure the unity of the people. It allowed the CSR to use propaganda and the media to show how the peoples protests and riots are effecting the CSRs ability to fight this disease and how it is effecting the refugees and locals. Attempting to show both side in a negative light. Finally the CSR made a promise to return the refugee home, and informing them that, that dream is closer than they think.

Slowly but surely the protests began to die down and the evacuation began anew. Though tension where still high and would later be uncovered by whistle-blowers within the government that high officials within their ranks had been purposely fanning the flames of revolt. Attempting to discredit the CSR assembly, forcing the nations of the CSR to brake off and re-join the CIR. This discovery lead to their creation of the OIA to locate individuals within the government, high positions of power and within the citizenry, that are acting against the requiem agreements and remove them.

Then finally on the 3rd of February 1699 the first of many evacuated nations declare themselves trident free. Sparking mass celebrations across the continent. By the beginning of the next day a continent wide migration home began. With the people heading home and the epidemic nearly over for the CSR. The assembly turned their attention towards the CIR. Or what's left of the CIR. As whilst the CSR had been uniting against the epidemic. The CIR had all but collapsed. Their economy was next to non-existent, their military nothing more than a thin vile of pride, whilst their people continued to protest. So on the 23rd of March 1699, the CSR invaded all the nations of the CIR at once. Quickly bringing a end to the war and bringing the governments to the table. Once the nations of the CIR were under control, they began evacuations to the neighbouring trident free states.

Finally on the 1st of January 1700.pdn. The Commonwealth of socialist republics, alongside the autonomous states of the Commonwealth of independent republics as well as the Union technocracy declares that trident is officially extinct on mainland Theia minor.

Culture
Whilst the culture of the commonwealth differ between regions and states. There is a overarching group of customs and beliefs that permeate the entirety of the commonwealth. Their expectation being the main one. The people of the commonwealth expects much from their government. They expect to be looked after. They expect that they will have food, water, shelter, free or affordable healthcare, employment and many more things that have been outlined in the Requiem agreements. They demand that the rights outlined in the agreements be followed by the nation without compromise.

This belief led towards the creation of the Utopian command. A set of rules based on the national culture. To force allied nations to alter themselves into looking after their people properly. Following the commonwealth in its crusade against injustice and poverty. They believe that there shouldn't be poverty, there shouldn't be the poor. That there should only be two classes the rich and the middle class. That the rich relies on the middle class to exists so must look after the middle class, and the middle class relies on the rich to keep things moving in a orderly fashion. Two classes relying on one another. forming the bases of the nations culture.

Next is how the nation integrates the differing cultures
