The Baja Soviet Republic was intended to take the name Baja in the towny plugin.

A flag was designed based off of various Soviet SSR flags, especially [[wikipedia:Flag_of_the_Ukrainian_Soviet_Socialist_Republic|Ukraine's]] and [https://the-new-order-last-days-of-europe.fandom.com/wiki/Irkutsk Irkutsk] in the [[wikipedia:Hearts_of_Iron_IV|HOI4]] mod [https://the-new-order-last-days-of-europe.fandom.com/wiki/The_New_Order:_Last_Days_of_Europe_Wiki The New Order].

Finally, the red background and the hammer and sickle were chosen due to it's presence in other Soviet SSR flags, creating an iconic look. | ||
New towns who joined the Baja Soviet Republic were intended to be forced to implement a new flag design similar to the flag of [[Tijuana (Aurora)|Tijuana]], where the town's coat of arms would be present on the right side and the Baja flag in the background. This is similar to the town flags of [[BetaPlain|BetaPlain's]] [[Aleut (Nova)|Duchy of Aleut]] in [[Terra Nova]]. | New towns who joined the Baja Soviet Republic were intended to be forced to implement a new flag design similar to the flag of [[Tijuana (Aurora)|Tijuana]], where the town's coat of arms would be present on the right side and the Baja flag in the background.

=== | === Internationale === | ||
BetaPlain sought to create an international association of communist nations with inspirations from both real-life [[wikipedia:NATO|NATO]] and the [[wikipedia:Communist_International|Communist International]]. The name of the association was to be Internationale, the French version of the word "international" and the name of the song [[wikipedia:The_Internationale|"The Internationale"]], to make it distinct from the Communist Internationale of the real world. The logo for the communist international was taken from the real-life logo for the Communist International. | |||

The Internationale was intended to have various articles, similar to the [https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/official_texts_17120.htm articles of NATO]. These articles were to be the founding principles of the organization, and every member was required to agree to uphold these values. | |||

The Permanent Security Council was responsible for keeping security both between member nations and with outsiders to the organization. The Permanent Security Council was intended to have a variety of requirements, but these were never specified. | |||
The Permanent Security Council was also responsible for resolving disputes between member nations, and member nations were intended to have the ability to propose issues to the Security Council, where solutions could be discussed. | |||
Finally, the Permanent Security Council was responsible to oversee programs in the Internationale, more information on programs can be found in the appropritate section. | |||
'''Internationale Development Bank''' | |||
[[File:Internationale investment bank.png|thumb|Logo of the Internationale Investment Bank.]] | |||
The Internationale was intended to host a development bank, where large loans could be given to nations, players, or organizations. The decision was made that the development bank would have it's own discord server, and a new logo was made taken from a "Global Investment Bank and Capital Trust" image found online. | |||
The investment bank was intended to allow loans to non-members of the Internationale, but Internationale members would be given a unique discount for loans. To incentivize larger loans, a requirement was made that loan requests must exceed at least 20 gold. | |||
'''Requirements''' | |||
There were various requirements to join the Internationale, they were as follows: | |||
'''''I.''' All potential member nations must have a communist or socialist government in place or must have socialist elements in their government.'' | |||
'''''II.''' All potential member nations must vow that capitalists are the worst threat to the working classes, and that such a disgusting economic system must be destroyed at all costs.'' | |||
'''''III.''' All potential member nations must vow to protect their fellow communist comrades in the Internationale in the event of substantial economic strife.'' | |||
'''''IV.''' All potential member nations must vow that they will follow all articles of the Internationale treaty.'' | |||
On top of this, all potential member nations must be accepted by all members of the Internationale. Although not much clarification was given, some nations could be discounted if they were inactive or did not respond for a few days. | |||
'''Programs''' | |||
The Internationale was intended to have multiple programs to support it's member nations. Member nations were intended to be allowed to propose programs, or opt out of them. It was the duty of the Permanent Security Council to uphold these programs and insure that they were running effectively. | |||
