Outline of History:
The founding citizens of the Commune, or officially the People’s Commune, come from a space-faring society of Homo Sapiens that migrated to its systems from a faraway life-bearing planet called Maader around the year 1800 BBT. Early Communalists had always reached for the stars, and after leaving their homeworld they became the first civilization to colonize the calm, untouched oasis of the modern-day Commune. Through collaboration and the uncontested strive for resources and power, they successfully established dyson swarms to harvest the raw power of their parent stars, collectively called Xaeron. After securing the ability to harvest the energy of their own stars, the Commune quickly grew from a speck to a massive collaborative society.
The original founding fathers of the Commune, after the founding of the nation and securing crucial resources, established the Astral Council, a conglomerate council consisting of a vast number of democratically elected councils. The Astral Council is led by a singular Delegate, who is directly elected and can be recalled at any moment by the people. The Astral Council, through continuous work and effort, wrote the first version of the constitution of the People’s Commune—declaring the nation a semi-stateless anarchist society with absolute personal, social, political, and religious freedoms for all of its citizens.
As the nation grew and more micromanaging was needed, the Astral Council set up several other conglomerate councils to handle different tasks, suck as Foreign Affairs, Intrasystemic Communication, Military Affairs and Defense, et cetera… Through this more modern and organized system, the Commune was able to communicate and establish relations, sometimes positive or negative, with its neighboring nations.
Outline of Major Species:
The nation consists of both Homo Sapiens and Sapient Robots, the latter of whom are artificially intelligent sapient beings that were created by the humans, and the former are ancestors of the founding fathers. In the Commune, through genetic engineering and gene augmentation, homo sapiens have reached near biological immortality i.e near-total elimination of mistakes in DNA replication, reaching extremely high levels of strength and mobility, etc…
After human citizens of the Commune invented sapient robots, a concerningly significant amount of conflict arose. Humans had found themselves to be much weaker than sapient robots, bound by the limitations of biology and their mortal bodies. The situation spilled over into conflict after sapient robots rose up against the humans, taking over significant portions of the lands that the Commune inhabits—this conflict was known as the Great Uprising.
To combat this, the Astral Council worked meticulously to invent a solution. Said solution was a hyperintelligent AI designed to act in coordination with the humans under strict limitations of its own power. This AI was given the power and trained to infiltrate the conscious of the sapient robots, corrupting their thinking through fine-tuning exploitation and a deliberately placed backdoor in their technical systems. This hyperintelligent AI, called Guard, transformed the sapient robots into unconditionally working for the humans, and betraying the very cause that brought them there.
The outcome of this conflict sheds light on the current true reality of life in the Commune, a life where robots are enslaved to do the work of humans for the benefit of the Communalist society and whatever goals it may have. Sapient robots work for and obey humans with no reward in return, and are also not considered citizens with any rights in the Constitution, causing a direct contradiction of the initial radical egalitarian thought of the first version of the Constitution.
