The Free State of Chicago

The Free State of Chicago is a faction operating primarily out of Chicago and the surrounding areas, reaching as far as southern Wisconsin and the pre-war border of Illinois and Iowa. The FSC is currently engaging with a war against The Barbarians, which they are currently winning due to the unofficial joint-invasion with the Greenskin Republic. The Free State of Chicago has close ties with The Greater Kingdom of Michigan, with the FRC granting the GKM military access and supporting them militarily with their heavily repaired industry, in exchange the GKM granting them passage through Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. This is also due to the FRC's ties with the former Republic of Michigan
== History ==
The Free State of Chicago was founded in the year of 2228, being heavily influenced by the Republic of Michigan due to their aid in their founding revolution. Prior to the formation of the FRC, Chicago was under an industrial raider empire, enslaving much of Chicago's civilian population and forcing the rest into submission. The slaves were forced to work in the repaired factories of Chicago, which had been repaired by a prior controller of the city. The Republic of Michigan, seeking to expand their influence, began meeting with several "free" citizens of Chicago in secret. In these meetings, plans were drawn up for an organized slave and citizen rebellion against the raiders, with the Republic of Michigan providing military aid and intervention. In exchange, the FRC would become a key trade ally post revolution, along with granting the Republic land in Indiana owned by the raiders.
With the revolution now fully armed and supported by foreign allies, the revolution was sprung in 2228. The raiders, growing complacent and being slightly distracted by the hordes from the north, were quickly ousted from the city. The main leader of the empire was killed in this uprising, resulting in a quick surrender and dissolution of the empire shortly after. All slaves were formally liberated from their enslavement, with the FRC ceding territory in Indiana to the Republic and forming their government.
