Comrade, you are free to join the revolutionary struggle at any time! Together, we will unite the world under the Red Flag!
When the bombs fell, the Chicago Metro was the only safe haven in the whole of Illinois for citizens to hunker down and stay safe. Hit was in these troubling times that Lt. Colonel Andrew Volpo rallied the survivors into a single coherent bloc, fighting raiders and claiming to defend the most populous station in the Metro, Central Line. The Chicago Red Line, as it was called, was formed when he cut across the entire metro, bisecting it into two parts, through a vital central tunnel, being able to dictate the terms of trade between one side and another, all while frantically attempting to establish contact with the upper grounds. Deciding that food was in short order, he established the Reconstruction Bureau, the core members of which after his death would decide that Communism was the way forward to conserve resource in the metro until civilization could once again rise above ground, forming the Communist Party of the Former United States, which evolved into the present American Communist Party.
In the metro, the people of the Red Line learned industry and resourcefulness, directed by Commissars who pretended their line was in a perpetual state of war, constantly turning out new weapons and innovating production methods based off the limited resources underground. The people here digested propaganda reminiscent of the Soviet world, and lived in a totalitarian state in which one charismatic dictator after another told them to serve, obey, and fight. The culture in these times turned almost Russian, with an international fusion of cultures producing the idea of revolutionary pen names for leaders. As Josef V. became Stalin, so too did General-Secretary Adrian Zeyler become Moshkvin.
The first conquest was not actually of any other area of Illinois, but of Toronto. Hearing of advanced metros in Canada, Premier Moshkvin sailed boats covered in lead paint and any plastic they could find through the undersea taps in the subway to the Toronto Metro, where they seized control and had their first exercise in revolutionary purges.
When the metro opened parts of the outside world, the leaders of the Communist party saw devastation. Following the prescriptions of Leinin’s “What is to be Done?”, they planted spies and agents in neighboring communities, adopting American names and mimicking mannerisms to form what was originally a loose defensive structure. They put on cosmetic Capitalist reforms to gain goodwill, forming Workers’ armies through the lands in the name of defense of communities against bandits, and “Social democracy”. Gradually, their message hardened. By the time of Premier Andreiev, the American Soviet had been declared, an industrial state, having cleansed disobedient communities, assimilating their cultures in the same way the old Soviet Union did, merging to form some strange synthesis of Russian, American, and international cultures.

Starting in 2290, tensions with PDDRP reached a boiling point. The Red Line launched a surprise attack on the Drows which resulted in a many-sided invasion against Red Line Forces, who fought in a series of battles, including over the capital of Chicago, formerly known as New Leningrad. The logistical task of supplying armies fighting as far as Western Canada for the Red Line and as far as the Great Lakes for the Drows was too much for countries whose population was less than 2 million, spread sparsely across cold and distant territories. In a plot with the House of Onmarothi's agents, KGB head Kirill Vladimirovich Santoro and STAVKA chief Talinn Vlastov Roidevich launched a coup in which they stormed the government buildings and convinced the Central Committee to depose the old premier, bringing an end to the First American World War and installing Kirill Santoro, "Comrade George Washington", as the new General Secretary.
What followed was a party purge in which not even the cats were spared. The old guard of the party were summarily shot, and the military and economy were extensively reformed due to the embarrassing losses in the war. The VII Five year plan of the American Soviet is estimated to have cost around 120,000 lives, but brought the country up to an unprecedented post-apocalyptic standard of industrialization, in the same way Stalin's Russia achieved the same feat in the reconstruction after the Second World War. Of course, it was strictly illegal to compare Comrade Santoro to Josef Stalin in any way.
Despite the coup and summary peace, tensions remain high with PDDRP, and Red Line is a loyal ally in the NAU alliance, which includes other regional giants such as the NCR.
