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.

This is an idea I had a little while ago.

Following the end of the Cold War, as the Soviet Union looked like it would collapse, the agents of the New World that looked to emerge were hard at work. Meeting with Soviet and Western ministers, the blueprint for a new "Collective of Organised States", a globalised union of the most powerful Western Nations and Russia to ensure a "New World Order" of peace and security. The group the "Collective" had long influenced world events during the Cold War to stop Communism or a similar Cold War from ever happening again. The Arms Race and the destabilistion of the Soviet Union was largely influenced by the "Collective" to ensure the end of the cold war and the rebirth of the world.

The idea of a highly organised society with Powerful nations at the helm was born out of the fall of the Soviets. Russia, Britain, the United States, Germany many nations became part of this Collective of Organised States. Developments in technology flourished in Collective nations. However, one strong nation still remained, China, communist and authoritarian, a threat to the collective new breed of "Managed" Global Democracy. The communist regime was becoming increasingly paranoid and the Collective looked to student protests to overthrow the Communists. At the turn of the 21st century, massive protests erupted in China. Three forces came out of this revolution. The communists and marxists, who were a loose group of communist re-revolutionaries the Nationalists, who wanted China to join the Collective and the Democratic Protestors, who wanted real change. The Collective backed the Nationalists, funding them and shipping weapons and advisors there. But other forces were also at work. As the Communist Party collapsed, the Red Liberation Army, a third world guerilla force with a massive population who wished to create a true Proletariat and overthrow the Collective's grip on the world, began to form a force for Communism to instate a new truly-marxist regime. Throughout the world, however, those who were forgotten from the Collective and threatened by the RLA, had gathered together in the Democratic Alliance. Brazil, India, Mexico, Nigeria and other developing nations who were left out in the cold, away from the strong, prosperous and neo-imperialist Collective.


- Collective of Organised States
The Collective's forces are focused on firepower and armour. Their aim is to devastate enemies with an array of firepower and air options. The Collective arsenal mixes superheavy and high-tech infantry and vehicles with strong airpower. The Collective specialises in front on assaults and search and destroy tactics. Units such as a heavier version of the Abrams, the M113 Vulcan and the BMPT Terminator find their way into the Collective arsenal. Supported by an array of helicopters and long range bombers. As the war escalates further, the Collective HQ can choose to deploy Drone Technology or superheavy equipment (Exoskeletons, ubertanks.).

- Democratic Alliance
With generally balanced forces, the DA occasionally leans towards subversive. They have equipment such as T-72s and T-90s as well as more advanced equipment. Running on Coal Power Plants the DA fights against both the Collective and RLA around the world. Their equipment is generally modern, but not as advanced as the Collective or as improvised as the RLA. Their units generally perform well in battle but cover multiple roles.

- Red Liberation Army
A rag tag militia of revolutionaries and ideologues. The RLA focuses on swarming the enemy with cheap troops. Mortar infantry, light tanks and artillery are key units the RLA. The artillery forces gaps which vehicles and infantry swarm through. They have weak structure but focus on swarming the map and ensuring map control with massive bases and swarms of troops.
