Region #26 of the Socialist Workers' Republic of New Freedomstan, colloquially dubbed Nefreedian Mars, is the last surviving fully functional Region of the SWRNF, established in the 2000s as a prestige project of the SWRNF to rapidly populate and terraform the red planet, with mixed success. Nefreedian Mars consists of a network of People's Collective, larger habitated areas, as well as smaller Work Collectives, to a large extent research bases and mining areas that rarely sustain a permanent population.
 +
 +
Nefreedian Mars officially maintains that it is a Region of the still-existing SWRNF, but maintains little to no contact with remnant elements of the old government in New Freedomstan proper. Due to circumstances, the Regional Council and the regional Communist Party has vested the Regional Premier with the authority to establish relations with foreign states until communications with the Socialist Workers' Republic can be restored, most prominently managing the relationship between Region #26 and the Great Civilization of the C'tan who assisted the Region's survival after cessation of communications with the central government.
 +
 +
==History==
 +
===Origins===
 +
Region #26 is the result of long-standing commitments of the SWRNF to explore, exploit and settle exoplanets. Concrete plans to send manned missions to Mars began already in the 1980s, but were postponed until the late 1990s due to a lack of resources. Already in 1998, General-Secretary C-1 made the intention of the SWRNF eventually settling the Red Planet clear during the 8th Congress of the Communist Party of New Freedomstan, and funding was provided to initiate rapid and drastic plans to explore, terraform and settle the red planet. The first successful manned mission to Mars occurred in 2001, lasting between the 2nd of April to the 5th of June, albeit officially is considered to have been undertaken on the 1st of May. Two failed attempts at colonization followed, in 2002 and 2005, before the settlement of People's Collective #01-26 in spring 2007, by slightly more than a thousand original colonists. The 2,911 who perished during the first two attempts are collective known as the "Great Martyrs of the Irrepressible Advance of Nefreedian Socialism into the Stars", or the "Martyrs of Mars" for short.
 +
 +
Initial Nefreedian attempts at terraformation of Mars began in 2003, shortly after the first failed attempt at colonization, and spelled the first of many such attempts, with mixed to no success. Nefreedian attempts at terraformation continued until 2011 when, due to the civil war, funding from central authorities were aborted. Nefreedian attempts at terraformation have included directed ice asteroid strikes, intensive emission of greenhouse gases as well as applied dialectical measures, whose greatest success has been the expansion and exploitation of sub-surface rivers and lakes.
 +
 +
Following the first successful establishment of a People's Collective on Mars, settlement drastically intensified, the population growing by 20,000-40,000 annually. The first natural-born Comrade-Citizen of Region #26 happened already in 2008, and in 2010 the formal establishment of Region #26 occurred once the population exceeded 100,000. Colonists for Region #26 were carefully vetted by the People's Civilian Commissariat, with ideological adherence being of prime importance, along with physical and mental fitness.
 +
 +
===Civil War===
 +
During the Nefreedian Civil War, Region #26 saw very limited outright civil unrest, the sole incident of any importance being the short-lived Transport Workers' Wildcat Strike of August 2013, which lasted five days before they voluntarily lay down the strike and the instigators were allowed the opportunity to engage in educational seminars on the nature of Nefreedian Socialism. However, during the civil war the focus of Nefreedian efforts in Mars changed from terraformation and research, into intensifying efforts to render the Region self-sufficient. The population as a whole also expanded in this period, largely due to senior cadres of the Communist Party of New Freedomstan volunteering for the brave efforts at expanding the influence of Nefreedian Socialism beyond planetary boundaries.
 +
 +
===After Loss of Communication===
 +
Ensuing the loss of communication with the central authorities of the SWRNF, Region #26 found itself without further support from the mainland, causing acute shortages of food, medicine and other essential products. After a month of failed attempts at communication with central authorities, the Communist Party of Region #26 authorized establishing relations with foreign nations independently from the SWRNF (which in and of itself was perfectly legal per the constitution of the SWRNF and of Region #26, but rarely employed). Region #26 thus established permanent relations with the Great Civilization of the C'tan, officially establishing trade agreements, and unofficially accepting foreign aid.
 +
 +
The decision to establish trade relations with the C'tan caused some internal dispute within Region #26, most prominently between the Communist Party of Region #26 and the People's Civilian Commissariat. 487-586 388-482, head of the regional branch of the PCC Inner Section and de facto leader of the regional PCC, opposed the measure and put into motion an attempted coup of Regional Secretary 382-457 847-590. In the ensuing chaos, the Regional Federation of Socialist Labour, the Armed Forces of Region #26 and the Regional Council supported the Communist Party, resulting in outright skirmished and street-fighting in People's Collective #01-26, which lasted for a period of three weeks between Party and Commissariat aligned militias, military units and volunteers. The Communist Party ended up victorious, and in the wake split up the PCC into its constituent Sections, abolishing the Inner Section entirely, and implementing a system of People's Commissars appointed by the Communist Party directly to oversee the responsibilities of the now-divided former sections of the PCC.
 +
 +
==Politics==
 +
The Communist Party of Region #26, the regional cell of the Communist Party of New Freedomstan, is the sole legal political party in Region #26. The CP26 has an unusually high density of cadres in comparison to the CPNF at large, with a total of 46,000 party-cadres in a population of 265,500. This can largely be attributed to the nature of its population, the colonizers having been carefully vetted for ideological impurities. The CP26 wields, by far, the most power of any institution in Region #26, both in practice and by law, as it constitutionally is the guiding force of the people and the state. The CP26 directly appoints the People's Commissars collectively responsible for the administration of the now-divided People's Commissariats responsible for almost all affairs of state and social services, the sole exceptions of which is the Armed Forces.
 +
 +
Region #26 is nominally led by the Regional Premier, who performs the same functions as a head of state. The Regional Premier is, in theory, appointed by the Regional Council of the Workers and Labourers of Region #26, albeit in practice is appointed by the Regional Committee of the Communist Party.

 +
Legislative functions are performed by the Regional Council of Workers and Labourers of Region #26, who nominally appoints Region #26's members in the Supreme Council of the Socialist Workers' Republic of New Freedomstan, albeit for practical purposes has not done so since the loss of communication with central authorities. The delegates of the Regional Council are appointed by members of the Local Councils of Region #26, each People's Collective having between five and sixty Local Councils, whose delegates are appointed by the workplaces in their area.
 +
 +
The Federation of Socialist Labour, the regional trade union federation, wields no official governing power in Region #26, but has attained a significant amount of de facto power in the wake of the failed PCC coup after the loss of communication. The FSL now functions more like an equal partner with the Civilian Commissariat of Economic Planning in terms of directing the economy, and wields significant influence in appointing the delegates of the Local Councils and Regional Council, only shy of the Communist Party itself.

Region #26 of the Socialist Workers' Republic of New Freedomstan, colloquially dubbed Nefreedian Mars, is the last surviving fully functional Region of the SWRNF, established in the 2000s as a prestige project of the SWRNF to rapidly populate and terraform the red planet, with mixed success. Nefreedian Mars consists of a network of People's Collective, larger habitated areas, as well as smaller Work Collectives, to a large extent research bases and mining areas that rarely sustain a permanent population.

Nefreedian Mars officially maintains that it is a Region of the still-existing SWRNF, but maintains little to no contact with remnant elements of the old government in New Freedomstan proper. Due to circumstances, the Regional Council and the regional Communist Party has vested the Regional Premier with the authority to establish relations with foreign states until communications with the Socialist Workers' Republic can be restored, most prominently managing the relationship between Region #26 and the Great Civilization of the C'tan who assisted the Region's survival after cessation of communications with the central government.

History

Origins

Region #26 is the result of long-standing commitments of the SWRNF to explore, exploit and settle exoplanets. Concrete plans to send manned missions to Mars began already in the 1980s, but were postponed until the late 1990s due to a lack of resources. Already in 1998, General-Secretary C-1 made the intention of the SWRNF eventually settling the Red Planet clear during the 8th Congress of the Communist Party of New Freedomstan, and funding was provided to initiate rapid and drastic plans to explore, terraform and settle the red planet. The first successful manned mission to Mars occurred in 2001, lasting between the 2nd of April to the 5th of June, albeit officially is considered to have been undertaken on the 1st of May. Two failed attempts at colonization followed, in 2002 and 2005, before the settlement of People's Collective #01-26 in spring 2007, by slightly more than a thousand original colonists. The 2,911 who perished during the first two attempts are collective known as the "Great Martyrs of the Irrepressible Advance of Nefreedian Socialism into the Stars", or the "Martyrs of Mars" for short.

Initial Nefreedian attempts at terraformation of Mars began in 2003, shortly after the first failed attempt at colonization, and spelled the first of many such attempts, with mixed to no success. Nefreedian attempts at terraformation continued until 2011 when, due to the civil war, funding from central authorities were aborted. Nefreedian attempts at terraformation have included directed ice asteroid strikes, intensive emission of greenhouse gases as well as applied dialectical measures, whose greatest success has been the expansion and exploitation of sub-surface rivers and lakes.

Following the first successful establishment of a People's Collective on Mars, settlement drastically intensified, the population growing by 20,000-40,000 annually. The first natural-born Comrade-Citizen of Region #26 happened already in 2008, and in 2010 the formal establishment of Region #26 occurred once the population exceeded 100,000. Colonists for Region #26 were carefully vetted by the People's Civilian Commissariat, with ideological adherence being of prime importance, along with physical and mental fitness.

Civil War

During the Nefreedian Civil War, Region #26 saw very limited outright civil unrest, the sole incident of any importance being the short-lived Transport Workers' Wildcat Strike of August 2013, which lasted five days before they voluntarily lay down the strike and the instigators were allowed the opportunity to engage in educational seminars on the nature of Nefreedian Socialism. However, during the civil war the focus of Nefreedian efforts in Mars changed from terraformation and research, into intensifying efforts to render the Region self-sufficient. The population as a whole also expanded in this period, largely due to senior cadres of the Communist Party of New Freedomstan volunteering for the brave efforts at expanding the influence of Nefreedian Socialism beyond planetary boundaries.

After Loss of Communication

Ensuing the loss of communication with the central authorities of the SWRNF, Region #26 found itself without further support from the mainland, causing acute shortages of food, medicine and other essential products. After a month of failed attempts at communication with central authorities, the Communist Party of Region #26 authorized establishing relations with foreign nations independently from the SWRNF (which in and of itself was perfectly legal per the constitution of the SWRNF and of Region #26, but rarely employed). Region #26 thus established permanent relations with the Great Civilization of the C'tan, officially establishing trade agreements, and unofficially accepting foreign aid.

The decision to establish trade relations with the C'tan caused some internal dispute within Region #26, most prominently between the Communist Party of Region #26 and the People's Civilian Commissariat. 487-586 388-482, head of the regional branch of the PCC Inner Section and de facto leader of the regional PCC, opposed the measure and put into motion an attempted coup of Regional Secretary 382-457 847-590. In the ensuing chaos, the Regional Federation of Socialist Labour, the Armed Forces of Region #26 and the Regional Council supported the Communist Party, resulting in outright skirmished and street-fighting in People's Collective #01-26, which lasted for a period of three weeks between Party and Commissariat aligned militias, military units and volunteers. The Communist Party ended up victorious, and in the wake split up the PCC into its constituent Sections, abolishing the Inner Section entirely, and implementing a system of People's Commissars appointed by the Communist Party directly to oversee the responsibilities of the now-divided former sections of the PCC.

Politics

The Communist Party of Region #26, the regional cell of the Communist Party of New Freedomstan, is the sole legal political party in Region #26. The CP26 has an unusually high density of cadres in comparison to the CPNF at large, with a total of 46,000 party-cadres in a population of 265,500. This can largely be attributed to the nature of its population, the colonizers having been carefully vetted for ideological impurities. The CP26 wields, by far, the most power of any institution in Region #26, both in practice and by law, as it constitutionally is the guiding force of the people and the state. The CP26 directly appoints the People's Commissars collectively responsible for the administration of the now-divided People's Commissariats responsible for almost all affairs of state and social services, the sole exceptions of which is the Armed Forces.

Region #26 is nominally led by the Regional Premier, who performs the same functions as a head of state. The Regional Premier is, in theory, appointed by the Regional Council of the Workers and Labourers of Region #26, albeit in practice is appointed by the Regional Committee of the Communist Party.

Legislative functions are performed by the Regional Council of Workers and Labourers of Region #26, who nominally appoints Region #26's members in the Supreme Council of the Socialist Workers' Republic of New Freedomstan, albeit for practical purposes has not done so since the loss of communication with central authorities. The delegates of the Regional Council are appointed by members of the Local Councils of Region #26, each People's Collective having between five and sixty Local Councils, whose delegates are appointed by the workplaces in their area.

The Federation of Socialist Labour, the regional trade union federation, wields no official governing power in Region #26, but has attained a significant amount of de facto power in the wake of the failed PCC coup after the loss of communication. The FSL now functions more like an equal partner with the Civilian Commissariat of Economic Planning in terms of directing the economy, and wields significant influence in appointing the delegates of the Local Councils and Regional Council, only shy of the Communist Party itself.
