In terms of a game, I believe that factions are an important part of the setting and story. Especially those that are unique.
Examples include:
ROTR's five factions: USA (Generalist), GLA (Subversive), China (Spammer/Horde), Russia (Powerhouse) and E.C.A (Cannon/Turtler)

The Paradox Mod: Allies (Generalist/Air Force), Soviets (Powerhouse), Empire (More elitist- bit hard to pin down), Confederate Revolutionaries (Subversives- good guy GLA.), Order of the Talon (Elitist/Powerhouse/quality), the Mediterranean syndicate (Cannon/Ranger), the Atomic Kingdom of China (more defensive in approach) and the Electrical Protectorate (Spammer).

I love unique factions and I wanted to create a thread where people could post their own faction designs in any universe they want.

They could be Post Apocalyptic Bandits, Cybernetic Purists, Dinosaurs, Alternate Dimension fascist super-maniacs with super tanks.

Major groups and characters of the Directorate vs Remnant world:

Jacob Vance
Commander-in-chief of the Remnant, Vance is a former small business owner-turned revolutionary. Thrust into the leadership following the destruction of Astana, Vance is dedicated to liberating all of the world from the Directorate and installing democracy. While Agnostic, he believes everyone should have a right to worship. He decries the destruction of states and lost his sister to a Directorate death camp in Canada. He has a personal grudge against the Directorate, and wishes to see it burn. He was a proud Canadian until canada was fused into the North American Union and yearns for the days of Canada. However, he is an ideologue, who believes in the Remnants cause fervently, which leaves him manipulated by certain factions in the Remnant.

John Lincoln
Former Six Year president of the United States, Lincoln was from the libertarian Freedom Party. Under his two terms he legalised marijuana, made almost all firearms legal and disbanded a large amount of the military-industrial complex. He was infamous for siding with several militias and pardoning them during a standoff with federal law enforcement. He is now the leader of the Continental Army, a force comprising of militias and ex-US military personnel who are digging in in the midwest. He has tattooed the Nuclear launch codes onto his arm, and seeks out the former NORAD base to utilise the Nukes to destroy the Directorate.

The Inner Echelon
The higher levels of the Directorate government including the Supreme Echelon or Council, the Overseers of the various Unions, and the relative military, industrial, security and economic heads. The Supreme Echelon comprises of a roundtable of 12 seats. Each of these seats represent a different Corps (Department) within the Directorate. Security, Military, the Economy, Science Corps, Industry, Social Corps, Administration etc. Some jurisdictions overlap- for example Military and Security overlap in terms of jurisdiction of the Black Section, so therefore Military has command over them, while security oversees funding and equipment. Similarly, the Science Corps and Military overlap on the Advanced Weapons forces, and so a similar structure occurs. The 6 Overseers of the world (+ the Special Administrator for Antarctica) also sit on the Supreme Echelon. Below them are various advisors and administrators from the different Corps. These people all oversee the functioning of the Directorate as whole, and its efficient management and war effort.

- Security Corps: This Corps and their Council member represent the Directorate's Security Apparatus and the multiple agencies that make it up. The corps operate surveillance of the billions of people within the Directorate, counter-terrorism operations, and cooperating with the Military Corps to destroy the Remnant.

- Military Corps: The officers and civil servants that make up the Military's hierarchy. This Corps is responsible for allocating funding, commanding the military and ensuring military campaigns are up to scratch. This is the largest Corps in terms of manpower and funding.

- Economic Corps: Setting various economic policy and allocating funding to various public works. The Economic Corps is in charge of the Directorate's ecnonomic policy and, as such, oversees the massive austerity policies initiated by the Directorate to ensure the maintenance of the Directorate machine and repair all nations across te globe.

- Science Corps: Science and Rationalism are important parts of the Directorate and as such an entire corps is dedicate to it. The Science Corps pursues the development of new technologies to improve the quality of life in the Directorate. The Science Corps is also in charge of pursuing a less public policy of the Directorate. Research into eugenics. While the Directorate promotes the equality of genders and races, it seeks to create pure citizens loyal only to the Global Directorate.

- Industrial Corps: Industry and manufacturing are important to the Directorate and as such, this Corps is dedicated to it. Whether developing the Directorate's latest Uber Tank and atmospheric transport, to building a new smart device to interconnect the citizens of the Directorate, the Industrial Corps is charged with mass-producing all equipment for the Directorate.

- Social Corps: Drugs, alcohol and entertainment, the Social Corps maintains propaganda and social policies for the masses. The Social corps makes laws relating to social activities and is responsible for banning drugs and heavily taxing alcohol (on top of already crippling austerity) as well as maintaining laws and policy on social issues.

- Administration Corps: The Corps that ties it all together. The Administration Corps oversees the making of laws, updating of the Canon of the Directorate (their constitution) as well as insuring cooperation between the other corps.

- Space Corps: A relatively new corps, this corps is dedicated to developing the equipment, planning and technology as well as manpower needed for future colonisations of the Moon and Mars. The Space Corps, given its role, also cooperates with the Science and Military Corps over the operations of satellites and orbital weapons.


Sambuiko Qui
Born of an Indonesian mother and Chinese father, Sambuiko and her family moved to Thailand. She grew up in a lower-socio economic area in Bangkok, known for its frequent violence and disregard for the rule of law. In 2021, as chaos began to envelope the globe, Sambuiko became part of an Anarchist group dedicated to the overthrow of the military/police junta: the Peace and Order Council. She and her friends, were among those who, in the Yellow Revolution of 2023, marched in the streets against the junta. Her parents were killed in a Junta airstrike against her slum, and she lost many friends to the riot police and troops sent into the lower areas of Bangkok. Following the failed revolution, she fled to America with money she had stolen from a bank during the chaos of the Yellow Revolution. She studied political science and graduated as the Directorate seized power in Australia, China and South Africa. The Directorate's rise led her to join the remnant, as such she is a powerful voice in it, given her anarchist views and her messiah status in the Chaos Cells.

Continental Army
Soldiers, militias and civilians of the former United States, the Continental army is led by the great libertarian John Lincoln. The Army operates out of the devastated mid-west. He and his men fight to liberate America from the godless and cultureless Directorate. The Continental Army uses equipment from the former US Army and shames the Liberation Army equipment sent to it. While having contact and being a member of the Liberation Army, the Continentals operate of their own accord. Their actions have led to the Directorate retaliating with kill sat strikes devastating entire towns. However Lincoln and his men continue to fight on.

more to come...
