Communist Persimmon Republic

## General Overview

The Communist Persimmon Republic, or Jink-lji'Persimmon'Hjimni, is a communist state of Persimmon'hi, a subspecies of the overarching Persimmon species. Persimmon'hi are slightly larger and more telekinetically and telepathically capable than a normal Persimmon, and speak a dialect of Simmonian known as Simm'hi. The Communist Persimmon Republic is highly technologically advanced and capable of interdimensional travel across multiple dimensional sects. They are lead by Grand Persimmon Simmon'hju CXVIII. It is also part of the Grand Persimmon Union, as are all other Persimmon government bodies. The CPR is most famous for its exoskeletons, which run on Persimmon'his' natural telepathic capability to allow them to move.

## Society

The Communist Persimmon Republic was communist at the time of its founding, and still partially is, but the chaos brought upon the civilian by a combination of the communist system and the unusually harsh law enforcement has turned the entirety of the proleteriat into a somewhat anarcho-capitalist dystopia where large groups of civilians band together to protect themselves from the bandits roaming the streets in search of food. The military and law enforcement is still communist, as everyone in both organizations has the same wage and rations.

The CPR is also theocratic, with the Grand Persimmon being a sort of god-king. Those who do not abide by the laws are deemed heretics and summarily executed. Due to the state of the civilian population, bandits are killed on sight by law enforcers. Civilians are educated from birth to believe that law enforcers are angels of the Grand Persimmon who must be obeyed.

### Social Hierarchy

#### Civilians

Civilians live in towns surrounded by circular walls. These towns consist of a town square, which was formerly used for parties or social events before the unfortunate (yet inevitable) collapse of civilian society. Now they are grounds for the bandits roaming around to attempt to find leftover food or drinks that may have been left out. Unfortunately for the bandits, the town squares were wiped clean of food and drink long before they were born. Around the town square are large apartment complexes, with 100-120 apartments inside. Beyond the complexes are hospitals to treat wounded civilians or repair their exoskeletons. There are no rooms for births because, like all other Persimmons, Persimmon'hi reproduce by mitosis. There are also tents outside these hospitals where civilians used to go to get their rations. Rations are now delivered by helicopter to known groups of law-abiding citizens. Due to the state of the civilian population, most civilians have fairly outdated models of exoskeleton.

#### Law Enforcers

Law Enforcers, as their name implies, enforce the laws set by the Grand Persimmon. They are organized into several ranks and classes. If anyone, be it a citizen or a foreign individual, violates the laws of the Grand Persimmon, the Enforcers will kill them. Due to this, they are essentially a military-police.

Lesser Enforcers are the lowest rank of Enforcer. To enter the Enforcer Academy, a civilian must abide by the laws and do at least 3 Simmonian months (roughly half a standard year) of community service, which in modern times entails helping Enforcers locate bandit encampments. Once they enter the Academy, they are subjected to 5 years of training to become Enforcers. They are then given their weapons and exoskeletons and become Lesser Enforcers.

Lesser Enforcers are divided into three classes, and each class has 100 members in one platoon. The classes are assault, heavy, and support. Assault Enforcers are the quintessential Enforcer, with a submachine gun used to subdue heretics. Their exoskeletons have cosmetic wings to support the belief of the citizens that they are the angels of the Grand Persimmon. Heavy Enforcers use light machine guns and give Assault Enforcers cover fire in case of heavy resistance. Support Enforcers use sniper rifles to pick off targets from afar.

Median Enforcers are the next rank of Enforcer, achieved by having proven themselves worthy to the Grand Persimmon. They are fitted with bigger exoskeletons to fit bigger weapons, which vary depending on the preferences of the individual. Options include flamethrowers, machine guns, and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. A battalion of Median Enforcers consists of 150 individuals.

Greater Enforcers are the hghest rank of Enforcers, and have committed multiple worthy deeds in servcice of the Grand Persimmon. They are fitted with large, mechanical suits of armor that allow them to destroy heretics with grim efficiency. They are equipped with rotary autocannons, missile launchers, and flamethrowers all in one, thus eliminating the need for tanks or any other land vehicle, for they are the tanks.

#### Holy Ones

The Holy Ones are the personal bodyguards of the Grand Persimmon. They are given mechanical suits designed to look "angelic" in appearance. However, conflict between making them look "holy" and making them look like the eternal defenders of a god ultimately strayed towards the latter option, making the Holy Ones' suits look more like monsters than what most think of as an angel. They have weapons hidden in their suits to make them harder to see to intruders.

#### The Grand Persimmon

The Grand Persimmon is the supreme leader of all of the CPR. He wears a mech-suit that makes him look like an ancient god. He sits in his throne and does not do much else other than occasionally engage in diplomacy with the other Persimmons.
