The **Pan-Continental Federation of Workers** (also known as **PCFW** or **Continental Federation**) is a Null faction of the Norseverse. Before the Alien Wars, the Pan-Continental Federation of Workers originated from the Bolsheviks, Russians who wanted to overthrow the monarchy for a "community" of equal people, fleeing into the **Glorious Yuan Khanate** of China after their failed revolution and sharing their ideas to the peasants. Leading to the peasants rebelling against their Mongolian rulers, only to fail yet again and having to flee into the **Uchiwa Shogunate** of Japan, where they galvanize the peasants to rise up against the shogun, and failed yet again and was forced to make a dangerous exodus towards Eriksonland (North America) in what is known as Hawaii in world where it was founded by England. But, learning from their previous three failures, the socialists choose to remain in hiding, forming an alliance known as the Pan-Continental Federation of Workers, and would bide their time until at least one of the superpower is weakened before doing their revolution.

That opportunity came in the Alien War. When the Vorgaxa came and started consuming the earth both the Khanate and Shogunate were forced to ally together for survival, despite the Khan/Shogun disapproval. And in that desperate alliance a friendship would be forged in the fires of war as Yuan and Shogunate soldiers fought, bled, and died together against the aliens, while the PCFW would work behind the scenes to galvanize the peasants who were resistant to socialism and prepare themselves for when both sides are too weak to stop them. Culminating at the end of the war as the Shogun, in his pigheaded stubbornness, demanded that his people were to stand and fight when the last remnants of the Vorgaxa attacked, overwhelmed, and encircled them. The Yuan generals, despite the Khans' orders to simply glass the nation, disobeyed orders and conducted one of the largest rescue operations in history with the PCFW providing (secret) aid, with thousands of their forces dying as they broke through and maintained a corridor to let the Shogunate civilians and armies through, while the citizens rebelled against the Khan for his disregard of their ally, forcing him and his court to flee into what's left of Russia that would form the Gardariki Khaganate, while the entire Uchiwa clan and those who refused help stayed back and were consumed. By the wars end, with the khanate running with their tail between their legs, the entire Uchiwa clan wiped out by the Vorgaxa, and witnessing the corruption and incompetence of their rulers, the PCFW would reveal themselves to the survivors, proclaiming that they would surpass the excess of both and bring a better future, uniting with the remnants of the Yuan and Uchiwa under the socialist banner, a phoenix rising out of the ashes of two corrupt empires, as the Pan-Continental Federation of Workers.

## Background

### Hold the Corridor

*"Hurry up! We're waiting for you!"*

- The message the Yuan declared to the Uchiwa, forming the corridor that let them escape
### The Rise of Scientific Kongsism

By the end of the Vorgaxa War both the Yuan and Uchiwa army were shattered. Having lost nearly all of their army when Japan fell. And when both nation united to form the Pan-Continental Federation of Workers they knew full well that they must rebuild their army as fast as possible, lest they become victim to the Meglarak and Tendriculous. But even though both armies were only a tenth of the original they were hardened with months of fighting deadlier foes and fighting together.

Thus a massive reform to the military was made. The new "Vermillion Phoenix Bannner" would consist of soldiers equipped with the best lightweight but durable battlesuits equipped with weapons built to cut through multiple enemies, and use the power of shock and awe to deal surprise, concentrated, strikes at the enemy weakness before they can retaliate with superior numbers.

## Gameplay

### Prepare To Deep Strike!

All PCFW production structures have two modes. The first has their forces train on the ground before being sent out, the normal production way. The second has the structure open its communications tower and lets them call down their forces via drop pods/jetpack (non-aircraft) or by sending coordinates for atmospheric reentry (aircraft) instantly within a dropzone radius. All of their buildings, but not defences (unless specified), have a dropzone radius and some of their buildings and protocols can project a dropzone on the map. Allowing them to sneak behind enemy lines or reinforce the front. Note that while in drop mode the structure will enter a cooldown period once a unit is dropped, making unit production rather slow unless copies of the same structure is made.

## Behind The Scenes

* The Pan-Continental Federation of Workers serves as a general bloc containing the Japanese, the former non-Oslo pact aligned North American Colonies, Parts of Africa, China, Britain, parts of Iberia, and extensive portions of South America, though Chinese influence is particularly apparent due to China's population size and to leave room for other regional blocs from within it as part of the re-organisation of the PEQAN PIES facing sections of the Norseverse, formerly the Concordiatverse. Replacing both the Glorious Yuan Khanate and Uchiwa Shogunate, in fact, they are the fusion of both in the lore.
* The Pan-Continental Federation of Workers is influenced by Avant Garde Leftism, Socialist Futurism, and Indigenous modernism to reflect its origins as a fundamentally anti-colonial force as well as a rejection of the status quo in its entirety while still showing clear homage to the component cultures.
* The Federation also takes the positively antediluvian point of divergence of the Norseverse and runs with it to produce a somewhat familiar but still alien set of outcomes for much of the world. Particularly places that traditionally get lesser focus or modification from their original state of being.
* The Federation takes strongly after the Celestial Empire in Red Alert 3 Corona as well as Grand Cathay in Warhammer Fantasy, the Solar Empire in Battalion Wars, and the Tau Empire from Warhammer 40k, with a bit of Human Hive from Alpha Centauri.
* Gameplay-wise, the Federation, as a rejection of the common stereotype associating these sorts of cultures with weight of numbers or guerilla warfare, instead takes after the space marines in 40k's tabletop and the Mobile Infantry from *Starship Troopers*, with an emphasis on resilient and accurately delivered firepower able to be dropped into battle with a durable package right up the enemy's throat at the expense of raw destruction and unit availability. In essence, making them well suited for deep striking and probing in force but suffering when faced with wide battles.
