Confederation of Socialist Augusta

The Confederation of Socialist Augusta (CSA), formerly known as the Union of Socialist Augusta, is a sovereign nation located south of the City of Mount Augusta. Formerly a district of MTA, it is one of the main aggregators of leftists on the server. It is bordered by Mount September, South Augusta, Wesbury, Venne and The Commonwealth. =History=

Beginnings
Comrade BolleDeBoll, Eternal Chairman of The Workers' Party, moved to Augusta in early 2018, and started TWP presence in the city, including in the south where Little Leningrad currently stands. After some time in Augusta, the Party moved to found Maltovia, and Party land in Augusta went abandoned for many months.

Return and Establishment
Comrade Renrits1 and his brothers established the Cove inside the Anti-Fascist Wall, and upon learning of this, SandFalls - at that time acting head of the Party - returned to Augusta and began working with them. Within two weeks, SandFalls and Renrits had established a union of the Cove - then renamed Little Havana - and Little Leningrad: the Union of Socialist Augusta.

SandFalls derelicted much of South Augusta near the USA, and established Little Ukraine for the newly-refounded LSIF. It was around this time that Renrits1 - pearled by Mir as part of the NATO-Mir War, left the server.

Modern Times
With Little Ukraine established, the USA continued to grow, adding to its ranks the communes of Little Neptune, Little Dublin, Little Unitas, Little Oak, the Fuzzy Quarter, and two islands outside the claims of Mount Augusta, both used primarily for farming.

On 1 September, 2019, the USA adopted a Charter, and on 2 September, 2019, elected First Secretary of The Workers' Party, SandFalls, as Premier.

Independence
The USA announced its independence from MTA on 13 April, 2020, after MtA had decided to switch servers to the at the time more popular CivRealms. This lack of activity in the city of MtA had also been mirrored in the USA, which thus over time faded into inactivity as well.

Revival
In March of 2021, upon discovering that FalscherRVN has been downgraded from prison pearl ideas to revitalize the USA sprung up. The USA then began to reform itself under the new name of the Confederation of Socialist Augusta.

This reform also brought a new charter, which formalized some of the previously informal aspects of the group and created the new elected position of Vice-Premier, with comrade ChocChips getting elected the CSA's 1st Vice-Premier on 17 March, 2021. Comrade Smal is the second and current Vice-Premier of the Confederation.

=Geography=

The CSA is a small nation, with its land being spread along three isolated territories running across an east-to-west strip, these are:


 * 1) The CSA Mainland - Home to most communes and infrastructure, previously part of Mount Augusta
 * 2) Little Hellsinki - A snowy mountains biome settled on April 2021
 * 3) Little Mushie and Little Brimstone - Far-Flung Islands primarily used for farming

=Communes and Landmarks= The CSA is divided into various communes. The different communes can be characterized by differing aesthetics and ideology. The communes are often refereed to by shortened names by their residents and the CSA's transportation network.

Little Leningrad (LL)
Ruled by The Workers' Party (TWP), it serves as the capital of the CSA. LL is the biggest commune and it houses the majority of infrastructure of the district.

Just like its predecessors, Little Leningrad features brutalist architecture. Here, one can find projects like The Palace of the Soviets and the Workers' Coliseum.

Little Leningrad has 2 sub-communes:

Little Catalonia (LCat)
Formerly known as Little Havana and the Cove, Little Catalonia was created by Renrits and his brothers, but due to unfortunate events, it's no longer active.

Its building style revolves around using acacia logs and planks.

Little Stalingrad (LSta)
Created in 26 August, 2019 by Ghunsan, it was the commune seeing most lot development in a short period of time, and features numerous brutalist buildings.

Little Ukraine (LUk)
With the resurgence of the LSIF, Little Ukraine became its first commune on 5 July, 2019.

In Little Ukraine one can find a variety of buildings, such as: The Tolstoy Tower, Grothendieck Institute for Mathematics, which were both built by Bayrd, the LSIF HQ and Kropotkin's Head (where you can be vored to get free bread), both built by ChocChips. There's also a plaza, built by Bayrd, to remember Choc's unpearling, the Nipplerock's Vault Break (where various members of the LSIF participated in) and the ghast bombardments caused by dsclouse in USA land.

In addition, LUk houses many of the crop farms in the CSA. Even after the fall of the LSIF, Little Ukraine remains the primary representation of anarchist communism within the CSA.

Little Zion (LZ)
Founded on 18 July, 2019 as Little Zion, a christian socialist commune, by Cattus, it is was later renamed Little Neptune, inspired by Sun Ra's jazz music, and then once again back to its original name.

Having suffered demolitions recently, it's mostly built underground, with a concrete design reliant on concrete blocks. It also houses a polar bear, so being careful when entering is advised.

Little Unitas (LUn)
"Dissidents will be shot" is the motto of this commune. It was founded in the former UWU district by FalscherRVN, on 12 August, 2019, and

along with multiple houses, one can find the Cuck Shed, with an underground monument to a reference of Neon Genesis Evangelion, built by FalscherRVN and xkevio (formerly ReclaimHolyLand). It is characterized by a strong regional identity.

Furry Quarter (FQ)
While as of now not officially in the territory of the CSA, being instead in the Mount September area, the Furry Quarter, also known as the Fuzzy Quarter, has been founded by smal and is in close association to the CSA, acting informally as its own commune.

Lannigrad (Lan)
A commune founded on 17 March, 2021 by Lanni. Lannigrad's territory is comprised entirely of former Little Leningrad land, and thus it is situated with Little Leningrad to the north and west, and Little Unitas to the south and east. All available land in the commune was developed between April and June of 2021, making it the most densely developed & most heavily paved commune in the Confederacy by percentage of land utilized, though it is also the smallest commune by a considerable margin. The building style is odd, but aims to convey a sense of unease, eyes are a prevalent feature, as an homage to the Overseer. Lannigrad currently houses the 8th tallest building in the Confederacy, the Lannigrad Administrative Building. The LAB is the de facto capitol building & administrative center of Lannigrad. Other structures present are Lanni's personal residence, Overseer Circle, the Red Park, and an as-of-yet unnamed building.

The Ministry of Socialist Cartography, founded 1 June, 2021, has its headquarters in the Lannigrad Administrative Building. The Ministry's purpose is to design and publish educational maps of the world for the international proletariat.

Little Stonewall (LStw)
Founded in March 2021, Little Stonewall (named by AmandaCC) is an LGBTQ+ themed commune. The most significant buildings in this commune are its train station, a Britney Spears statue, dedicated to the #FreeBritney movement, a statue of Specter, the purple cyclop-unicorn lesbian police officer in the Pixar movie Onward and the People's Pizza Hut, dedicated to Comrade Gorbachev.

The commune is characterized by a unique building style consisting of bright colors, LGBT+ imagery, and roads constructed out of spruce wood.

Little Dublin (LD)
Now Part of little Stonewall, Little Dublin was previously its own commune first obtained on 14 August, 2019 as a dereliction by Topher3001, it was the property of the Pumpkin Jacks, which originated this commune's other name: Little Pumpkin. It was constituted of a small walled town surrounding a tall iron reinforced obsidian tower (later ornamented into its current form), most of the smaller buildings in the area along with a large portion of the walls have since been demolished as part of the Little Stonewall construction projects.

The commune was at one point planned to be renovated into an Amusement Park, as decided by the Second Congress of the USA, but the plan was never implemented.

While officially no longer a commune, the area is still often referred to as Little Dublin.

Lil Oak
Derelicted land in the north of Augusta's Francis Point district, Lil Oak currently is uninhabited and discussions are underway on what to do with the area.

The Palace of the Union
Built by Tinie_Snipah in April 2020, the Palace of the Union is a large building located at the eastern-most point of Lil Oak, it is the second palace and the second biggest building in the CSA.



Flags
The different communes of the CSA are famous for often spouting their own flags, reflecting their unique values and ideologies.

Anti-Fascist Wall
Most of mainland CSA is enclosed by the Anti-Fascist Wall, originally constructed by kdeeks and citylion, in order to keep fascists and bourgeois scum out of the district.

This is a direct reference to the Berlin Wall that separated East and West Berlin.

= Government = The CSA is a semi-direct democracy ruled by a Premier and an elected Vice-Premier who act as representatives and administrators of the confederation.
