Hungarian Democratic Republic

The Hungarian Democratic Republic, or the People's Republic, is a far-left Communist, Genderist state formation located in the Hungary. The state is located in the Dombrád-Olcsva-Záhony triangle and is an antagonist faction of The Dark Future: Dark Folktales. It is a post-war faction currently at war with the Nyírszalka Empire.
== History ==
After the fall of the Garai Block, various left and far-left movements flooded the area and took control. Their main aim was to create a just and equal social order in and around the newly acquired Vásárosnamény and considered Socialism as a viable alternative to spark a revolution of the weak and oppressed.
In the spring of 2062 they successfully defended their territory from attacks by weakened loyalist forces. In the summer of that year, the Trade Union Council met and the Anarcho-Syndicalist Party was elected to head the Central Committee, imposing a dictatorship until the revolution was stabilised and the dismantling of state organs was postponed until later.
Their land reform then failed disastrously, a famine broke out in the state and counter-revolutionary ideas spread rapidly. The workers' militia, the newly organised political police, secured power. Meanwhile, moderate party members were completely squeezed out of the Commission, executed by radicals of Socialist Party members and then seized power.
In 2065, the totalitarian Communists launched an all-out attack on the Satmar Union led by Major Tildy, which ended with a heavy defeat for the People's Republic at the Olcsva crossing. The People's Republic was saved from total collapse by the fact that the Satmar troops could not have undertaken to feed the starving citizens of Vásárosnamény, so they did not launch an attack.
=== Post-Olcsva ===
After the fall of the People's Republic in Olcsva, power became unstable, and moderate left-wing forces took advantage of this to successfully overthrow the totalitarian Communist government before it could stabilise. Power was taken over by the hitherto insignificant autonomist wing, led by leaders of various micromovements. The party was led by the radical Feminists and the Agrarian Socialists, who presented themselves as more moderate, but imposed their repressive dictatorship according to their own structures and laws.
Their economic policies were badly affected by the revolution and the severe famine. The period 2066-2077 was one of reconstruction, accompanied by years of ever-changing failed plans and unworkable quota reforms. Then the trade embargo, jointly imposed by the factions, proved a failure for the population. By 2077, the economic situation of the People's Republic had barely stabilised, but no one saw them as a real threat.
== Ideology ==
The Hungarian Democratic Republic has strong Genderist, Communist ideas and state Atheism. The government is headed by the Party, which has a leader who is the head of the body and the state, and maintains strong control over the territory. There is strong discrimination against those who are Christian or disagree with the government's actions, and men are often oppressed by the government's feminist organs. They try to maintain a semblance of democracy but there is no freedom of speech and all people are expected to be loyal to the government, party and ideology and those who oppose government action are condemned.
== Military ==
The People's Republic uses special reconnaissance units to explore and search the Zone. These troops are called "Red Stalkers", but they are much less experienced and less trained than the official army of the People's Republic and the Guild's volunteer Zone Scouts. Politics and ideology define the military, as the government values loyalty to the Party rather than experience.
They are hostile to all, but have so far given no sign of any expansionist policy. In the Zone they are constantly attacking the Guild's people.
== Dissolved ==
In 2078, the government of the People's Republic could not fully restore the economy, there was poverty throughout the country, people were starving, so a hunger revolution was started against the Communist government. The rebels were mainly left-wing Nationalists who extended their guerrilla-style fighting to the whole state.  Meanwhile, the Nyírszalka Empire sent troops from the southern parts of the People's Republic to occupy Vásárosnamény, putting the People's Republic between two fires. Eventually, the People's Republic collapsed again due to the constant attacks by the rebels and the Empire, and finally surrendered, and the revolutionaries took power, making peace with the Empire and proclaiming their new faction, the New State of a Working Hungarian Nation (New Hungary). They entered into a reciprocal economic relationship, with the Empire supplying the New State with arms and food, in return for the State supplying the Empire with military volunteers and valuable mineral and steel resources.
