WARNING! The following aspects of my background on the Free State are intended for gaming purposes only! By no means do they reflect my own viewpoints but rather reflect the twisted extreme values that help make the KFS such wonderfully evil villains….material is based on New America from the T2K system as well as several ultra-national groups....

Philosophies
The Free State believes in the “natural and inherent superiority” of whites over all other races and in people of Northern European descent over all other whites. As well as their fanatical belief in the racial inferiority of Semitics, Negroes, Slavs and Orientals as well as those subscribing to any religious beliefs other than tat of the Aryan Church of God, the Righteous Arm of Heaven or the Church of the Chosen. All are outwardly conservative Christian in appearance, but with the embellishment of a number of nonstandard doctrines. A common theme among, for example, is that Christ was not divine, but rather, a popular revolutionary, the victim of political expediency and collusion between Jews and their Roman governors, who won divinity by giving his life for the cause. In addition, a variety of bizarre notions are part of this faith, among them, the idea that England and not Israel is the Promised Land described in the Bible, and that therefore, the British and not the Jews are the chosen people. And concluding with the belief that the modern identification of Israel as the Promised Land and the Jews as God’s Chosen are all part of a heinous plot perpetrated by a worldwide cabal of socialists and liberals designed to lead true Christians astray.

The core of Free State ideology is the belief that certain individuals, the so-called “Natural Aristocracy” are superior to other racial, social or economic groups. The Free State government has never made a public announcement of what determines who is a Natural Aristocrat. In fact, only the Committee of Five determines who is a Natural Aristocrat. As a result, a complicated tier system of classification is maintained, and a citizen’s rights under the government depend upon how they are classified.

Another important feature of the Free State is its belief that all aspects of life must be under rigid control. The economy must be carefully managed in order to prevent inflation and unemployment. Morality must be controlled in order to prevent moral decline from setting in. Science must be controlled in order to prevent another worldwide disaster from occurring. Seconds and Thirds (those enjoying only partial Free State citizenship) must be controlled because they are incapable of controlling themselves. Education, religion, marriage---all must be controlled by the Free State in order to produce more Natural Aristocrats. With this in mind, the higher officials of the Free State are encouraged to maintain several wives, since their superior genes must be passed on to as many descendants as possible in order to maintain the advancement of the Race.

The Hierarchy of the Free State
Of course, only Natural Aristocrats can occupy all senior executive and leadership positions within the Free State. It is believed that only Natural Aristocrats can be advanced beyond the 30th Tier, although the exact criteria is known only to the Committee of Five. The benefits of full citizenship, including trial by a jury of peers and the privilege of facing one’s accusers; of voting; of free choice in marriage and other matters; and of writing and implementing laws, are reserved solely for the Natural Aristocrats.

In a semantic tangle worthy of Orwell’s “Newspeak,” “Citizens” do not exercise full citizenship, but they do occupy the bulk of positions, including low-level and mid-level executive positions below that of the 30th Tier. A Natural Aristocrat board must approve marriages and rights can be arbitrarily suspended or modified by their fiat.

Below the Citizens are the “Seconds” and “Thirds.” These people have few rights, although it is possible for hard-working and loyal Seconds to become Citizens and for Thirds to become Seconds. The Free State openly acknowledges the dangers of establishing a completely static, caste-bound social structure, or one in which there is no personal advantage to working for the State. Advancement within the system is, however, slow and subject to bureaucratic red tape and inconsistencies and increasingly dominated by wealth and politics the higher one climbs within the hierarchy. Strangely, advancement in the ranks for the selected Negroes, Orientals and Hispanics is fairly rapid until the 10th Tier or so is reached, then promotion slows to a near standstill. Some misguided people will claim that this selected advancement is only a sop to keep these minorities quiet. However, the Social Security Service proudly claims that this is “merely a statistical fluke” and that their “complex and rigorous scientific testing insures that all will rise to the limit of their natural abilities.”

Finally, there are the Long Contract Laborers, the Free State’s ultimate solution both to unemployment and to the chronic need for cheap, ready labor. Long Contract Laborers, “LCs” or “Elsies” have no rights whatsoever, and exist at the whim of the Natural Aristocrat leadership. They live in camps under the direction of mid-level directors, who are backed by armed Social Security Service troops and provide a ready labor pool for construction or civic projects. They are a convenient dumping ground for undesirables such as political enemies and dissidents, criminals, itinerants and the unemployed, as well as the random victims of Social Security Services sweeps through the minority cantonments. The official position of the Elsies is that of “wards of the state” and a detailed public misinformation program argues that the Elsies are given productive work, adequate clothing, food, shelter and medical care which they would be unable to provide for themselves in these troubles times. In fact, the Elsies are slaves in all but name and hundreds of thousands of innocents have vanished into the Free State Long Contract Laborer Camps over the years, never to be seen again.

Goals
The goals of the Free State can be summed up in two words: Controlled Change. The citizens of the Free State believe that the pre-war United States was completely out of control by the time of the Final War. Drug addiction, crime, homosexuality, capitalism, rampant liberal-socialism, outright communism, general anarchy and total chaos were running roughshod over “traditional American values.” The Free State believes that society must be controlled because most of humanity is inherently unable to control its own baser emotions or to govern itself.

The Free State has formulated an elaborate pseudo-scientific racial classification system based on the alleged superiority of certain traits in those people it terms “Natural Aristocrats.” This is not racist, but merely a scientific classification system based upon intelligence tests and genetic examinations is the Free State’s claim. And, of course, it is “purely statistic coincidence” that the natural Aristocrat genes manifest themselves most often in white, Northern German, Scandinavian or English males.

The Free State’s out right hatred of Communists, Socialists, Liberals, Pacifists, Homosexuals as well as Drug Addicts, Hedonists, Hare Krishnas, Scientologists, Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, Roman Catholics, most Protestant denominations, Feminists, Welfare Mothers and a host of other untouchables would keep a legion of psychoanalysts busy for decades. Their thinking is not original, it is nothing more than the philosophy of the 19th Century elitist/eugenicist movements recycled with new jargon.

While professing such profound dislikes might have been regard with bemused tolerance by their fellow citizens before the war, the horrendous situations brought about by the nuclear exchange has ensured that the Free State has become the very model of the new “American” way of life.

The Free State has no intention of senselessly weakening themselves in protracted, overt wards of extermination. They have instead adopted the modest goal of combining a declining “inferior” birth rate with casualties taken by its “heroic Thirds” on behalf of a society bent upon bringing all freedoms and all citizens under their own control. In this respect, the Free State is far more heinous than Hitler’s Germany.
