Red Archipelago

A political union with a more collectivist social structure. It has gradually expanded for centuries as bordering systems experience revolutions. Attitudes between RA and GP are tense, and it is difficult to cross through Dual-Control Zones from one sphere into the other. Proponents of Red Archipelago’s collectivist ideology are known as Redarchists.

RA has its own internal texture, virtues, contradictions, factions, and ordinary life; it is not a one-note counter-utopia.

Dual-Control Zones

Tense border regions where GP and RA influence overlap. Travel, trade, identity, and information all become politically complicated within them.
