Apisma

**The People's Republic of Apisma** or most commonly known as **Apisma**, is a Liberal Capitalist society, Apismans pride themselves in their freedom of capitalist (or as it's called there "Freemenian") commerce and of personal rights. The fairly off-handed government works to maintain the security and order of the republic out of foreign hands, leaving most of the economy to the private sector. That private sector is composed of various sectors of retail, civil defense, healthcare etc. each sector thriving with competition from the biggest mega-corporation to the smallest family owned shop.

## Major Political Powers

There are 2 major political powers and many smaller ones in Apisma:

#### -"The Freemen''

the closest to what humans would call "free market capitalist", they've been the leading power in most of Apisman society. Their ideology of Freemanism consists of hand's off minimal government, high private commerce and high "personal and public freedom" socially. This of course comes with drawbacks, considering the many workers of the private sectors are no stranger to private company security in their streets, or the annoying ad in the kitchen fridge blasting HoneyAid™️ Soda jingle in the middle of the night.

#### -"The Hive's very own"

or THVO (pronounced Tee-vo) the closest thing to a rival power to the Freemen, they consist of middle class workers and various "clan traitors" upper class. Their ideological beliefs fall close to a human "marxist" group with some more moderate forms of achieving it, to them the power should belong to the workers alone through a strong government that would slowly dissolve to an equality lead society where only the ones who work earn the means of production. This power tends to influence workers to unionize in order to voice their opinion and influence more pro-worker ideas and conditions in modern Apisman society.

There are many other groups in the nation, but one of the smallest yet most "notorious" groups is the eco-terrorist group called "the cabal of the ancient one" or TCAO for short. They see modern Apisman Society as an abomination to their Insectoid nature, and that society should be destroyed from the ground up and rebuilt without the use of modern technology. The leader of this group is currently unknown, but they've written many anti-Apisman and pro-anarchistic manuscripts and works throughout the decade the TCAO have been active, and is only known as "**TJK** ''.

## Population

95% of the insectoid people of Apisma come from the Vespianic race and their sub-ethnicities, resembling humanoid Earth bees and wasps. The latter 5% comes from various nomadic and unorthodox species, such as the Mechanites, a race of smart sentient octopoid robots that claimed sentience and civil rights riots after a series of anti-mechanite attacks by the TCAO. Another minority race would be the Hominoids, Ape like creatures that mostly rely on manual labor and a nomadic lifestyle for survival.
