1. Link to region with full name: United Peoples Front For Socialism
2. Flag graphic:
3. Approximate Number of nations: 33
4. Relevant region tags: Democratic, Anti-Fascist, Communist, Anarchist, Liberal, Socialist, and NSwiki.
5. Raider/Defender/Interventionist/Pacifist: Interventionist
6. Inter-regional Affiliations (with links)?: The Left Interregional
7. Brief description (~200 words) of your region:

The United Peoples Front for Socialism is over a year old and has since been a stable region containing up to 40 nations. Although medium-sized, the UPFS has engaged its fellow socialist regions in positive ways, such as merging, defending, and participating with other socialist regions in diplomatic ventures. The UPFS was built upon the principles of democracy and participation. Therefore, the powers of the Founder and the WAD are strictly limited. There are 5 elected positions which carry out management of the region and form the government. Practically everything is voted on by member nations. Most activity involves reforms, discussions on world affairs, elections, and projects for improving gameplay. There is also an awards system for notable achievements.

The UPFS’s doctrine towards the greater NS community is PanSocialism, defined as the unification of leftist regions and philosophies to act in common interest and to build a cohesive force against right-wing groups. All interregional actions carried out by UPFS reflect this doctrine. Our region has a Unity Army, whose constitutional purpose is to serve the will of the regional members. It has successfully engaged in solidarity missions to protect comrade regions as well as defend the UPFS. Though generally hesitant to involve itself in conflicts, members in UPFS understand the importance of solidarity as our motto says, “Unity is Strength”.

8. Biggest Boast (something notable):
We boast a developed participatory democracy, which is embodied in its People's Referendum and protected by its Constitution. Its members are friendly and welcoming of newcomers. We can not wait to have you participate in our region!

Full region name: The Union of Nations Against Fascism (UNAF or TUNAF for short)

The Union of Nations Against Fascism



Approx. number of nations: 65

Relevant tags: Democratic, Anti-Fascist, Communist, Anarchist, Defender, Socialist, Invader, Libertarian

Raider/Defender/Interventionist (To an extent)/Pacifist

Our system is purely meritocratic, and runs on the motto "If you work for the betterment of UNAF, you will be recognised." Our regional government and WA Delegate positions are reshuffled regularly, and the terms are among the shortest in NationStates. All leftist nations are welcome here.

Some of our achievements include:

-Our GGR infiltration: we managed to obtain the colony password and helped free 4 colonies.
-We've been raiding for around 4½ months, and we have permanently dealt with 24½ (Corporate Fascism is still ongoing) fascist regions.
-Our diplomatic ties with various large and influential regions, such as The West Pacific, The Internationale and Antifa
-We're part of the NS Republic
-We've only been around for 4½ months and already have ambassador nations in Antifa, and have been recognised for our efforts
-Our highly active RMB
-Our delightful map
-Friendly and diverse atmosphere
-Democratic nature and frequent WAD elections
-Our raids on The Nationalist Union (Successor to Nationalist Union) and League of Fascist States (Our first outfoxing of the defenders from the FRA/UDL), also our participation in the raid on Corporate Fascism
-Our dedicated forums and effective regional government
-The unique way our constitution is authored


Our greatest achievement is probably dealing with 24½ fascist regions permanently in just 4 ½ months.

We hope you consider us as a potential residence and/or quite a significant leftist region.

6. Inter-regional Affiliations: Union of Democratic Leftist Regions, which is comprised of Democratic Socialist Alliance, Social Liberal Union, and us; Communist International League, and United Peoples Front for Socialism.
7. Brief description (~200 words) of your region:

We are a supportive community of left-leaning nations which value equality, tolerance, and free speech at the forefront of our ideologies. Despite our region's specific title, we enjoy a wide variety of nations that can range anywhere from a green social liberal, to egalitarian democrat, to an anarcho-communist. We often engage in political discussion, addressing controversies and world affairs. Great emphasis is placed on democracy and pacifism in our regional government and in an evolving, well-devised charter of laws and policies. Our congress goes to great lengths to ensure that political power is distributed fairly, that all voices are heard and all nations informed, and that our diplomatic ties are conducted respectfully and given due priority.

8. Biggest Boasts:

-No war profiteering: rated #1 Lowest in Arms Manufacturing!

-Our regional newsletter, Solidarity, highlights inter-regional happenings and congressional action.

-Extremely democratic and transparent government with a well-developed charter.

1. Link to region with full name- The Internationale
2. Flag:
3. Approximate number of nations: ~200
4. Relevant region tags: Democratic, Enormous, Anti-Fascist, Communist, Social, Anarchist, Casual, Independent, Featured, Socialist, and Serious
5. Raider/Defender/Interventionist/Pacifist: The first three, unless interventionist means WA bourgeois clique that writes one sided issues and resolutions nope, not that one
6. The Red Fleet, Antifa, Allied with The Union of Nations Against Fascism, International Socialists, Communist International,Argentina and her sister republic Uruguay,Marxist Proletariat Union, Red Defence Coalitionand The MT Army. In addition, too many allied regions and committed partners to name in those and other networks.
7. The Internationale is one of the largest of NationStates regions formed by the affinity, common purpose, and friendship of individual Comrades with a mission to change the world. We represent, like the song it is named after and the principles it stands for, a collective stronger than its unitary parts and a coalition of likeminded socialists for the advancement of the only struggle worth fighting-the struggle for revolution and freedom. The varied and motley assortment that live within our region's borders are committed to anticapitalism, antiimperialist struggle, and antifascism through social justice, education, debate, and direct action. We're represented by Anarchists, Anarcho Communists, Anarcho Pacifists, Mutualists, Trotskyists, Libertarian Marxists, Revolutionary Communists, Socialists and Antifascists. We feel that no government is the best government, and our institution of ad-hoc referendums and direct voting on issues is something we cherish and seek to preserve. Our leaders bear no titles, our veterans need no trophies or medals to feel proud. Our Comrades are some of the nicest, most insightful, and most inspiring people to meet and learn with, and we seek in humble friendship to impress these virtues upon others in the Left and grow together. We fight hard, we play hard, we are both perfect peace and perfect war rolled into an a big and growing community of good words, good deeds, good music, and good people. We extend warm greetings to all our fellow Comrades across the NS world who wish to travel to our corner of the woods and say hi.
8. Horizontally structures society that is not formalized but fluid, and can still defend itself or raise volunteers, that don't treat its citizens like human resources or demands contribution if they don't want to give it, no unwarranted self importance from government types. Raid against GGR isn't anything to scoff at, one of our great achievements, as well as taking out dozens of enemy regions along with our partners in the Antifa network.

Marxist Proletariat Union

[img]http://www.mediafire.com/view/?943ad7k1dcq8186][/img]

Approximate number of nations~10.

Relevant tags:Anti-fascist, Socialist, Communist, Anarchist, Libertarian.

Allied with: The Union of Nations Against Fascism, Antifa, Regional Defense Committee,The Red Fleet, Republica Brasil,United Socialist States of indi.

Raider/Defender/Interventionist/Pacifist: Aggressors to any form of fascism, Defenders to any comrade regions that may be in need of assistance.

The Marxist Proletariat Union was born out of the will to fight fascism on NS whilst providing a stable platform to allow leadership to rise. our members are always marked by their own volition and will, as there is no "Supreme commander" of the region, but rather the region's sole purpose of existence is experimentation: members are free to try any form of work, whether it's recruiting, helping to write our constitution, or even forging new alliances between comrades in other regions. Although we are a deeply inclined Marxist region, we are open to any forms of Leftism, whether it be in the form of Anarcho-Syndicalism to Democratic Socialism, we're tolerant of everyone's beliefs.

Biggest boast: MPU's work in the Regional Defense Committee has been felt by both Left and Right. Since MPU is the result of expats from Leftist Commoners as well as a coalition of antifascists, our work can range from Solidarity as well as Antifascist actions, but also includes interregional support to the smaller comrades, or even disruptive work in Fash regions. MPU can also boast one of the biggest networks in the spectrum of left, bridging the gap between interregional organizations. Our diplomatic efforts range from sending Ambassadors over to co-op attacks.

[International Antifascist Action]

"A new categorical imperative has been imposed by upon unfree mankind:

Their Antifascist activism in NationStates has led to over a three hundred Nazi and Fascist regions and growing being confiscated and turned into anti-fascist and anti-nazi regions, never again to be used as platforms of hate.

Dedicated to the people who have lost their lives fighting against fascism and to all who have suffered at the hands of Fascism.
Founded: July 27th 2011.

Biggest Boast: 300+ victories and a current ongoing campaign in Corporate Fascism, Determination and commitment of Antifascist Operatives and Comrades

We stand for secular republican socialism, equal rights for all & a woman's right to choose (pro-choice). We are opposed to capitalism & all who support it. We oppose all fascisms including stalinism & zionism. IS believes in 'no-platform' for racists & fascists & pursues that policy through military action against the relevant regions. IS is non-leninist & does not follow democratic centralism. Descisions are made by simple majority vote of full members, who must be WA. The founder has a casting vote to resolve ties & retains full powers to protect IS from internal & external threats. The WAD is non-exec for security & is recallable. They are required to report their actions & are governed by the democratic will of IS. Other positions will be created on a functional basis. IS welcomes members from the IRL IS tradition but all genuine class-struggle based activists are welcome & are urged to judge the region for themselves. IS urges all socialists in NS to become involved in real life struggle.

Boast: We are proud to be the only overtly Anti-Zionist socialist region in nationstates.

Here in the SLU, we have a government founded by the people, for the people. We hold elections for our delegate every 3 months, with elections for our "Speaker of the Union," a position to replace our missing founder, happening halfway between those elections. In addition to those two positions, there are many other ways to be involved in the government: being elected to the cabinet, becoming a recruiter or ambassador, writing laws/amendments/motions, or even just by voting! Every member nation can participate in elections, and have their voice heard! If you're only looking to have fun, our off-site forum features word games, role-play (including a regional currency) and more - including a plethora of cookies!We only allow nations who have average or higher civil rights and poltical freedoms, so you can be sure you'll truly be in a Social Liberal Union! On behalf of myself and the open parliament of the Social Liberal Union, we hope to see you soon!
8. Biggest Boasts:

-Regional Government that allows all member nations to actively participate.

8. Through C.I.P.H.E.R Comminist international has made available tools to aid recruitment, intelligence and security to any that choose to avail themselves of them free of charge, helping to diminish reliance on small regions of having to enter unfavurable alliances to gain access to similar facilities

[Proletaurus]

Crimson Cyborgia (my Puppet nation) on RMB of United Peoples Front for Socialism:

Suggestion. It would be wise to attach some sort of list of participating Regions (with links) to First Comment of LeftEXPO2012 Forum Topic, Comrade Wu Wei Shan. We Also Need More Publicity to get more Exhibitor Regions to Participate, which means this Project must be rather long lasting and continuous in sense of Forum Activity and Actually all sort of spammers In LeftEXPO2012 thread would be even good thing from that point of view. Aforementioned List should Include both, Links to Expo Comments and In-game Regions for easing to get Big Picture and Making easy to find some Particular Region. It would be good thing too if we (Left wing regions taking a Part) would use that same Topic for Collective planning for betterments of this LeftExpo2012. I see there lot of Potentiality in this Idea, which not yet be in full use.

Solidarity Comrades!

The S.S.S. runs on the principals of Democratic Centralism, and elects a new W.A.D. from its members every 60 days.

Biggest Boast: Members of the S.S.S. formed the beginnings the most recent incarnation of The Left Interregional and more or less solidify the political element of USSR constantly bringing the news and information from the world's communist party's in real life to Nationstates. Our first founder has passed on and we continue with new leadership.
