'

The Baja Soviet Republic (Spanish: Baja República Soviética) was an attempted totalitarian, one-party socialist republic designed by BetaPlain. The nation was intended to be created exclusively via vote gold and the capital was the already created town of Tijuana.

History

Early Planning

BetaPlain was sure he would continue his ambitions to form a nation onto Terra Aurora. BetaPlain made his ambitions clear to PesosInhaler, who took the time to greet him upon joining the server. BetaPlain selected a place to create the town and pictured borders for the Soviet Republic in his head.

Founding of Tijuana

BetaPlain did not ask for a Californian flag upon when Tijuana was founded and Tijuana joined California, due to his designs to create the Baja Soviet Republic. BetaPlain prepared to reimburse player _Cubs who gifted BetaPlain gold to create Tijuana, but _Cubs was banned too early.

Further Planning for Baja

The Baja Soviet Republic was intended to take the name Baja in the towny plugin. The name, "Baja Soviet Republic," was chosen based off of the name, Kyrgyz Socialist Republic, from the HOI4 mod The New Order. BetaPlain liked this name because it was unique and sounded better than potential other options such as, "Baja Soviet Socialist Republic."

Flag

A flag was designed based off of various Soviet SSR flags, especially Ukraine's and Irkutsk in the HOI4 mod The New Order. The blue in the flag was designed to represent the Pacific Ocean and the water in the Gulf of California, and the yellow was designed to represent the sand present in Tijuana's founding location, and on the beaches of Baja California. Finally, the red background present in other Soviet SSR flags and the hammer and sickle were added.

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, 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's Duchy of Aleut in Terra Nova.

Coat of Arms

The Baja Coat of Arms was selected from a Bing Images search, which yielded the Baja Coat of Arms on an alternative history fandom.

Discord Server

BetaPlain created both a Tijuana and Baja Soviet Republic discord server. The Baja discord server was only created to the extent of channels and roles, and only EstiQT and chell27 were invited.

BetaPlain also introduced the concept of Commissariats, based off the real-life Soviet system.

Sports Team

The Baja Soviet Republic was intended to have a sports team, which would play in EFL and Formula 1. A new team mascot was chosen, the bear, after the Russian bear, the symbol of Russia, which was formerly a communist state.

The official team name because the "Baja Bears," and a new commissariat was created titled, "The People's Commissariat of Sportly Activities" to directly oversee the sports team. BetaPlain did not enroll the sports team in either EFL or Formula 1.

A separate discord server was created for the Baja Bears with inspiration from the Alaska Orca's discord server.

On top of these things, plans were made for Tijuana to host a Formula 1 racetrack and potentially a football field.

Communist International (Internationale)

Planning BetaPlain sought to create a Communist International with inspirations from both real-life NATO and the Communist International. The name of the Communist International was to be Internationale, the French version of the word "international" and the name of the song "The Internationale", to make it sound better. The logo for the communist international was taken from the real-life logo for the Communist International.

BetaPlain wanted the leader of the Communist International to be the Baja Soviet Republic. Other inspirations for the Internationale were drawn from the HOI4 mod The New Order's COMECON system for communist nations.

Discord Server

Much of the Internationale's planning was undertaken while creating the discord server. The development of the discord server was initally copied from the one designed for the Baja Soviet Republic discord server and then edited.

Permanent Security Council

The Internationale was intended to host a permanent security council, inspired from the UN's permanent security council, to promote peace among member nations and to protect Internationale members from outsiders.

After extensive talks with EchoOcelot Paperpikmin established a new German state in order to recreate the German nation. Initially, success was seen, with a new town established and Berlin regained. This slowed as Paperpikmin became incredibly busy off the server. Nonetheless, as November arrived the nation saw continued legitimacy and growth, however, it is slow due to the major towns of Leipzig and Hamburg proving an enormous obstacle. Many new alliances were quickly established, and diplomatic talks were made initially.

Template2

As you can see, it looks relatively neat when there is enough text in each subdivision, so this is the recommended route to take.

Government

It's important and as such required to add how the government of the nation functions. Obviously, anything secretive can be left out entirely, but outright wrong information is not okay. If this creates conflict contact a wiki mod about the issue. This can be very simple (EX Sealand is a monarchy with an emperor who rules all affairs of state, diplomacy, and military), or incredibly complicated, as long as theirs something.

Military

Additionally, it's important to write about the military, whether there is one or not. Like government, this can be very simple or very complicated at your discretion. If a nation only uses militia, feel free to just write that or detail them. If a nation has no military whatsoever and refuses to ever fight, that's another relevant point and should be discussed in the tab.

Buildings

This can also be named Architecture/World wonders/whatever. This will be required for new wiki pages on nations in addition to town pages, but nations can obviously use buildings from any member town or any "territory" it owns. Natural wonders are perfectly fine as well.

Notable People

This is a required field to detail important members of the town historically or currently, so it's easier to tell which people are in which area and to get a better idea of the region. This can be organized in a list, for example:

  • Player 1
  • Player 2
  • WTF
  • Player 3

National Subdivisions

This isn't required but is highly recommended to help add space and add meat to your article, mostly for larger or federal nations. This refers to towns, states, provinces, autonomous regions, or other smaller sections of a nation that can be described individually. This IS optional however. This is specified so it's more clear, for example you could have a subdivision for each province or colony. Generally it's at your discretion.

Other Recommended Headings

The following are not required but it's recommended to have at least something extra for your town page. Most are applicable to most nations.

  • Political Affiliation
  • Political Parties
  • Politics
  • Economics (This may be made required depending on it's role in terra nova)
  • Diplomacy (highly, highly, highly recommended)
  • Maps
  • Pictures
  • Culture
  • Navy (gl making this work though lol)
  • Anything else that isn't ridiculous and can with reason fit into the wiki
