The Detroit Commune

The Detroit Commune was a short-lived radical Floppocratic revolutionary government. It was declared on August 5th, 1945 and was violently dismantled on August 9th of the same year.
== Prelude ==
It was not a secret that Detroit was the most dangerous place in the UFA. Terrorism, murders, robberies and other acts of criminalism were no rarity in the city. It was populated by about two and a half million civilians of the lowest classes, for anyone reasonable and with money would have fled long, long ago. This all eventually to the decision of the UFA to completely withdraw from the hell called Detroit in early 1945 and leave it to its own devices. This of course resulted in crime rocketing its way from all scales known to Floppanity, and soon the city was being sacked by both, organized groups and individuals. The state of complete ruin, utter anarchy and despair resonated Detroit. But not everyone wanted their home to slowly consume itself. One of these men was Flouis Flopguste Flopqui, a young journalist living there since his birth.

As soon as the news of the UFA's withdrawal reached Flouis's ears, he was bit shocked; this was exactly what him and his Floppocratic comrades were expecting. Soon after even all their assumption were met; the administration was destroyed; enormous amount of pillaging was being conducted and there were not even slight attempts of resistance. Exactly as they expected and exactly what they wanted it. For Floui was the head of the FDDC (Floppan Defence Detroit Council) and they wished for nothing nothing less than a complete takeover the the city. Under normal circumstances that was not possible, as the UFA's presence prevented any complete revolts, nut with them gone, the Council's plan was was in motion. The young Floppist ran to the nearest radio stationed to deliver a message for the citizens of Detroit. When he arrived, the building was already sacked and its inhabitants' heads impaled on stakes outside of the building, but he managed to find some functional radio equipment and started broadcasting to the local radio:
"Do you feel the smoke in the air? Do you hear the cries of the honest people? Our city's, our homeland's, our Detroit's mere existence is threatened. The state that we trusted with protecting us has left us to die. Pillaging is at its all-time high; Floppas and Soggas are dying by the minute; households are looted; women are raped; the administration of the city has all but disintegrated, and what we, the honest citizens of Detroit, have built up for years, has all come crushing down. Should we allow it to? For centuries have we guarded our city, guarded Detroit. Thanks to the work of our men and women Detroit has risen from a small nowhere to a place of civilised Floppas! Do not let the scum, the parasites, destroy this piece of art. Show everyone, that it will take more thana flock of mindless rats to defeat us. Show them the power of the Flops and Sogs of Detroit! Arm yourself with everything you have! Take to the streets and fight for the better future of your homes! Show them, what the angry men and women of Detroit can do! Fend off the bloodthirsty wolfs, for Detroit is not yet lost!"
This message was repeated from other radio stations into numerous radio lines by Floui's comrades - and the people did listen. Thousands took to the streets, armed with everything from kitchen knives to machine guns. At first, they started off fighting individually or in small groups, but eventually were rallied to the banner of Floppocracy by Floui and his allies. There began the Detroit civil war, lasting over six months., with Floui's newly named "Detroit Liberation Army" fighting many factions of numerous ideologies and motivations. 
== The civil war ==
At the start, The Detroit Liberation Front (to which now we shall refer as "TDLF") numbered only about eight thousand citizens of Detroit, mostly Floppas and Soggas. The number of "soldiers" from all the other factions combined is theorized to have been around four hundred thousand. These alone would have of course crushed the front, but they were not united; quite the opposite. As all of them had different objectives and motivation, they were all fighting amongst themselves. None of the factions is nowadays believed to have had more than forty thousand people fighting on its side at the start. 
TLDF, being officially the largest Floppocratic "party" in the world at the moment, enjoyed material and financial support from prominent Floppocrats around the world, thanks to which they became the only side in the conflict with chemical weapons in their arsenal, which they did not hesitate to frequently use. About a third of the whole conflict's casualties is suspected to have been caused by this very use of poisonous gases. 
As the total number of dead was getting higher and higher, TLDF's army was increasing in size. It was the only organized side of the conflict never participating in war crimes (of which the conflict has seen record amount), on the contrary, they were actively trying to save civilians from the lustful criminals, due to which many people - but still mainly Floppas and Soggas - saw them as the true liberators of Detroit and joined their ranks. 
As the war dragged on for about three months; the organized enemies of TLDF were dropping like flies. The front, now counting about hundred and twenty thousand "soldiers", was unstoppable - they recently even obtained seven Floppo Mk.II tanks, with which they rolled over and utterly destroyed the Bingusi Freedom Front. BFF's destruction - being the second largest of the factions after TLDF - brought fear and chaos into the other sides of the conflict. It was apparent that they'd soon achieve victory, if the state of civil war did not change, and so leaders of the many fractions met and agreed on forming a united front against the Floppocrats. This did indeed complicate the war for TLDF, but after three more long months, the front (unnamed, for the members could not agree on a name) was defeated. 
== Proclamation, international interest and collapse ==
TLDF was victorious. Detroit was completely ruined - many streets completely wiped from existence by constant bombing from all sides and more than a million dead. But Floui was determined, and called for a "Meeting of all Flopps, Soggs, and their allies", in a miraculously intact university. There, at seven seconds past dawn, on August 5th, 1945, an commune completely independent from the UFA was declared. A commune based on Floppocratic values. 
As Detroiters started rebuilding their city, the proclamation of the commune became an international sensation. When Floui sent a letter saying that a "conference of all Floppocrats" is going to be held, and that all believers of the ideology are welcome, to the newspapers of Floppan Times, it completely explodedThe accidental nuking of Detr. Thousands of people flooded the streets of Detroit from all over the world. It is said that even Albert Flopstein promised to come, but a rough illness didn't let him. Just four days after declaration, on August 9th, the promised conference took place. With most of the prominent Floppocrats of the world in a Floppocratic "country" it was hoped to be a new dawn for the yet unused ideology. But that never came to be, as the conference with all of its participants was rudely interrupted by the atomic bombing of Detroit., effectively killing almost all prominent Floppocrats of the age, dealing almost a fatal blow to the ideology, from which it has to recovered to this very day.
== Suspected UFA intervention ==
Although claimed to be an accident by the UFA's government, it has ever been widely discussed it possibly being just a mean to silence the inconvenient Floppocrats. The declaration of independence made the government indeed appear weak, but with all the international interest and thousands of foreign believers in the city, they could not launch an open military campaign to reclaim it. And so a covert operation, which would assure the destruction of its believers and leaders, would be favourable.
