Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)

Overview

The Socialist Progressive People is a vast, authoritarian socialist state commanding a vast territory across many star systems. Based on the idea of collective ownership and the elimination of class distinction, SPP is striving toward building a utopian society in which the needs of many outweigh the desires of few. The regime is characterized by rigid adherence to socialist doctrine, central control over resources, and a strong state apparatus that enforces its ideological tenets.

Political Landscape

The SPP is the primary political and ideological competitor to the United Nations. SPP strongly advocates state control, homogeneity, and expansion. This resultant ideological divergence gives rise to a cold war characterized by a series of unrecorded military skirmishes between the SPP army and the United Nations Marine Corps.

These encounters, usually taking place on disputed territories or newly colonized worlds, brought home the fragility of peace—the fact that both sides were engaging in clandestine operations meant to wear each other out while maintaining plausible deniability.

Colonization Efforts

Deeply involved in colonization, the SPP views outer space as a new frontier to be occupied in its ideological task. In their view, colonization is not just expansion but a political need for gaining control over resources and transferring the socialist doctrine to the stars. The SPP combines military force with ideological indoctrination to settle new worlds, most often at the expense of displacing indigenous populations. These colonies are outposts of the SPP dream, where citizens are urged to work for the greater good of the collective.

Military and Government

It has a strong military structure where advanced star fleets and ground forces can defend its interests and help to spread its reach in any part of the galaxy. The very idea of military service is something rather noble, connected with ranks full of traditions and honor.

The leadership of the government is a closely knit council of the elite party members who oversee all aspects of life in the SPP: production and economy, education, culture. Dissent is quashed swiftly, and propaganda is everywhere, hailing the SPP as the rightful leader of humanity's future among the stars.

Culture and Ideology

The socialist underpinnings of the SPP have a strong effect on culture, forwarding a sense of unity and commonality amongst all constituents. State indoctrination through education makes people more loyal to the state and collective than pursuing individuality. The arts and sciences must serve the regime's purpose in works showing the victories of the SPP and the superiority of its ideology.
