The current Premier of the FSR was planned to be decided near the start of [[Civcraft 3.0]].

[[towns/newleningrad|New Leningrad]] was founded in the very beginning of [[Civcraft 2.0]]. by [[ZombieLenin]]. In November 2013 to the west of New Leningrad the village of [[towns/centauri|Centauri]] was founded by a small group of IRL friends. The new settlement was in chat range of New Leningrad and New Leningrad shared her factories with the new settlers, a close friendship developed between the two cities. New Leningrad convinced Centauri to become socialist and so a red disc was added to the flag of Centauri. Centauri eventually grew to become a large and prosperous city in its own right. In September 2014 the [[groups/alliances/eb|Eastern Bloc]] alliance was founded by New Leningrad, Centauri, and various other left-leaning states. The city of [[Olympia]] had become a socialist republic under the enlightened leadership of [[RogueX7|Roguex7]] and joined the Eastern Bloc a month later. Some Olympia residents later moved to the +,- quadrant and began construction on the new city of Montarnis. [[Hjatland]] later left the Eastern Bloc after an influx of rightwingers from [[Orion]] and other capitalist cities led to a shift to the right.

In February 2015 the leader of Centauri, [[SandFalls|Sandfalls]] suggested that Centauri and New Leningrad, which were nearly a single city at this point, unify. This became the jumping off point for discussions on the formation of a larger leftist union. On April 23rd 2015 the Federal Socialist Republics was formed through the unification of the socialist states of New Leningrad, Centauri, and Montarnis. Each Republic in the FSR would be lead by a Governor and represent their nation at the FSR council. New Leningrad would be the capital of the new state.

There were two candidates nominated for the Premier election: Sandfalls, Governor of Centauri, and [[Megralew]], Head of Militia. Although Megralew was a relative newcomer to the FSR a clear economic policy and security plan gave him enough momentum to have a single vote lead over Sandfalls. However Sandfalls dropped out of the race and announced his intention to quit Civcraft for reasons unrelated to the election. Megralew was elected Premier of the FSR. The FSR showed a strong presence at the NEA meeting in [[Iria]] that July, with seven FSR citizens in attendance. In this same period the FSR and Hjatland made the ill-fated decision to join the [[Grand Northern Alliance]] (GNA). The construction of the FSR vault began at Modern Vale and progress on the excavation of the great crater intensified. Negotiations started on the Aurora-FSR Right of Access Treaty. [[Aurora (Civcraft 2.0)|Aurora]] wanted access to the eastern jungle for the purpose of growing cocoa. [[Sintralin]]'s party in [[Mount Augusta (Civcraft 2.0)|Augusta]] was attended by some FSR representatives and they returned home with many trophies and mementos.

At the end of July the left-leaning Chancellor of Aurora [[Pantostado1066]] announced that Aurora would be joining the Federal Socialist Republics. This was a ruse designed to give a casus belli for a mock "Farley War" on Bohr Island, which had already seen a ruse cruise there the previous year. Bohr Island declared it would not bow to a communist Aurora and seceded. -,- kingdom Balkania took over the new anti-communist enclave in a friendly annexation. The communist south of the island then declared independence. The ruse was complete and the stage was set for a mock war with a capitalist side and a communist side. Aurora resident and fervent anti-communist [[Pooch12]], who had been rused before by the FSR, thought the Federal Socialist Republics takeover was real and seceded from "communist" Aurora. The Federal Socialist Republic contributed the most soldiers out of all the nations on the communist side. FSR citizen [[Jon2600]] killed the King of Balkania in a tunnel and the capitalists were driven out of their base. The battle eventually deteriorated to a 1 VS 2 situation and the communists lost. Returning from the battle in high spirits some FSR troops invaded and looted Pooch12's little independent enclave. His sheer obnoxiousness and refusal to begin arbitration or accept reparations (hypocritical considering his own history of griefing) lost what little sympathy there was for him. Pooch12 had been excommunicated, exiled from Aurora and moved to Icenia. There he was pearled for stealing spruce and his pearl was handed over to the Federal Socialist Republic.
