Brotherhood of Steel

(Now the Brotherhood of Steel)

History
Originally an anarcho-communist collective created by Joshua_Graham, the nation reached an unknown number of people until it went inactive in around September 2018. In February, Graham returned, and modern Freedonia was born. He travelled across the map, eventually finding Tierra de Conciencia, where he met Rick and Godomasta. Due to Godo screwing up the Ravine City rail station's water drop, Graham died, letting TdC keep copies of his book, Rhapsody in Red: The Miracles of Communism.

After the Gantoe Incident, Rick left, as he had no nation left to call home, and became the server pariah. Joshua_Graham left a month or two before he did. When Rick came back next year, he decided to repent for the many atrocities that he committed in the name of TdC's communist regime as their High Inquisitor. And so, the Brotherhood was born.

Geography
The Brotherhood of Steel is located in the +,+ quadrant at 6700 400. It is connected by rail to Mir, Pripyat, Aznazia, and Carpathia. A rail line to Caledonia is under construction. It borders Pripyat, Aznazia, Carpathia, and Caledonia.

Government
YourAverageRick is the sole leader of the Brotherhood.

Citizenship in the Brotherhood is quite hard to achieve compared to other nations. One must actively contribute to public works projects around the nation, must have a residence, and must have no criminal record in Brotherhood territory. Even then, citizenship is not guaranteed; after submitting an application, members of the Brotherhood vote on whether or not you would make a good addition to their ranks. After that, you're given time to select one of three tracks (Knight-Paladin track, Scribe track, or Inquisitor track) at which point you begin actively serving in the Brotherhood.

Building permits can be obtained by making a design in creative mode, DMing it to High Elder Rick, and waiting to hear back on the voting results by members of the Brotherhood.

Foreign Relations
The BoS is friendly with all its neighbors, as well as Icenia. It prefers to keep to itself due to it being a very small nation, where the leader is not that good at pvp.
