The Klensagrad Commune was a short lived city state on the Klens peninsula from 2145 to 2146. It's entire existance was during the Sahren Civil War. It advocated for a system of governance in which a state was a loose federation of smaller communes led by workers unions.

Politics

Government

Government of the Klensagrad commune was run by a council of workers. Issues were debated on by the council until a majority decision could be made. The council would appoint state positions in the same way.

Subdivisions

Early in the Commune's existance there was an attempt to create the Khosa Commune out of territories not within the Klensagrad peninsula. Officially the Khosa commune existed but in practice held no territory or property.

Foreign Relations

The Klensagrad commune was recognized by no other countries. It was condemned on the international stage by powers like Zokesia, Orion, Phoenia, and many others.

Economy

War communism laws under the labour party government were carried over which effectively made the army into an all powerful organization. A policy of wealth redistribution was carried out causing the deaths of many entrepeneurs and the seizure or plundering of their businesses. The economy of Klensagrad was mostly bas rd on manufacturing. The city relied on the outer suburbs to produce food. Food shortages were common during the war.

History

Labour party

The Klensagrad commune initially pledged loyalty to the Labour party during the Sahren Civil War. Tensions between the Labour party and the Klensagrad commune began after the drive on Khosa was abandoned.

“	To be reprimanded for not aquiring Khosa is utmost foolishness and shows how out of place you are. You believe the Seige of Slovale will secure us victory when the capital was right within grasp. The Junta was disorganized and exhausted. We would have continued rotating troops and eventually linked up with your government in the north. Instead we are doomed to wait until your victory.	”
—General Yague, speaking to premier Anastasia Otsahrlandiagorodtsev.

In the eyes of Klensagradites calling off this attack was abandoning the Khosa commune to its fate.

Self rule and decline

In (date) 2145 the Klensagrad commune declared independence from the Labour party. General Yague was immediatly given overall command of the defence of the city and made Representative. The commune began preparing defences and storing supplies as the war situation with the Republicans was deteriorating fast. Operation Tetraethyllead saw a last stand of the Klensagrad commune. They inflicted heavy casualties against the Republicans and escalated the conflict several levels. Within 11 days Klensagrad fell. For another 7 days Klensagradite partisans resisted in the sewers until they were cleared out by Republican Guardsmen.

The Zokesian Shelling of Klensagrad and subsequent Republican assault left the city severely lacking in usable infrastructure. In the coming years prisoners of war were used as penal labour by the Republicans to rebuild the city. Klensagrad kept relatively high autonomy within Sahrland to prevent another revolt like this one.
