Despite the challenges posed by the near-polar climate, '''Agriculture in the [[South Sea Islands]]''' is an established and growing industry within the Commonwealth.

Starting in the year 1722, the [[Government of the South Sea Islands]] launched a campaign to make the nation completely self-sufficient in food production.

This campaign was launched in recognition of the fact that the islands' location could make them vulnerable to food shortages during extreme weather events or hostile military action.
==Background==
Both main islands in the Commonwealth experience climatic conditions that make traditional agriculture challenging.
Trinity Island (home to the nation's capital, [[Joseph Town]]) is located in close proximity to the southern ice cap. As such, the weather makes traditional agriculture almost impossible outside of a narrow summer season.
Meanwhile, Grand Wulfram (home to the nation's largest city, [[Zuid-Richel]] enjoys milder weather, but its rocky, acidic soil makes it unsuitable for many staple crops.
==Development==
The emergence of hydroponic technology has been transformative for agriculture in the [[South Sea Islands]]. In conjunction with artificial heating and lighting, hydroponic agriculture offered a viable alternative to traditional farming.
==Government intervention==
The geographic isolation of the South Sea Islands has always made access to fresh fruit and vegetables has always been limited, with prices far exceeding what would be considered normal elsewhere.
While the government subsidized imports for public health purposes for decades, things changed rapidly in the year 1722.
In July of that year, the [[Government of the South Sea Islands]] agreed to subsidize hydroponic greenhouse building on a domestic scale, with the government covering 80% of the costs of setting up a greenhouse in a domestic garden.

The '''Pentecostés Offensive''' is an ongoing military offensive launched by the [[Imperial Armed Forces of Anahuaco]].

The operation's goal is to stamp out a recently established [[Republicanos]] foothold on the western bank of the Rio Rojo.

==Background==
In mid-1719, the Imperial Government of [[Anahuaco]] became aware that the [[Republicanos]] had begun transporting supplies and personnel across the Rio Rojo to the north of [[Granaditas]].

While the Republicano movements took place entirely within [[The Green]], the Imperiali Government was acutely aware of its risks for the Empire. Establishing positions on the western bank of the river would allow Republicanos to launch raids anywhere along the river and strangle the river-bourne trade emanating from Guerrero.

Attempts to patrol the river and prevent crossings were unsuccessful, with night crossings particularly hard to detect over such a large expanse of territory.

With these considerations in mind, a decision was made to launch an offensive in 1720.

==Scope==
While the Imperial Government was eager to prevent the Republicanos from establishing themselves on the western bank, the Empire did not want to be burdened with controlling the territory.

For this reason, the [[Imperial Armed Forces of Anahuaco]] were instructed to prepare and execute a limited military operation to destroy the Republicano build-up on the far side of the river and deter future crossings.

==First phase==
On the morning of 29th May 1720, the [[Imperial Armed Forces of Anahuaco]] launched the first phase of their response. This phase consists of targeted air and missile strikes on known Republicano logistics and command hubs, while a long-range artillery barrage was launched from the east bank to keep Republicano forces pinned down.

The '''Commonwealth Men''' is a political and religious movement in the [[South Sea Islands]].
Founded in 1720, the movement's primary goals are the abolition of the [[Monarchy of the South Sea Islands]] and the disestablishment of the [[Protestantse Kerk in de Zuidzee-eilanden]].

==Background==
Following the implosion of [[Nova England]], the monarchy of the [[South Sea Islands]] ceased to be hereditary and mirrored the presidency of [[Mercury]] instead.

Without the historic loyalty to Nova England to underpin it, the monarchy in the Commonwealth became diminished in the eyes of many South Sea Islanders.

While Mercury was almost universally considered a friendly state and valued ally, and Islanders felt no animosity towards its President, the basis for the arrangement was generally viewed as tenuous.

Simultaneously, religious unrest began to brew among the population of the Commonwealth. A new prayer book issued by the [[Protestantse Kerk in de Zuidzee-eilanden]] in 1720 dismissed many historical aspects of worship in the islands as superstition.

These changes led to calls for more freedom of worship in the islands and greater autonomy for individual congregations. Ultimately this unhappiness would manifest as a movement to disestablish the state religion.

==Goals==
-The Commonwealth Men movement has three stated objectives:

-The abolition of the [[Monarchy of the South Sea Islands]] and its replacement with a directly elected presidency. With this change, the Commonwealth would become a republic, and the constitutional monarchy would be removed.

-The abolition of the state religion and the disestablishment of the [[Protestantse Kerk in de Zuidzee-eilanden]]. Church property would be transferred to the individual congregations, who would be provided autonomy to choose their methods of worship.

-An overhaul of the electoral system, with the first past the post system replaced with proportional representation based on a party system.

-A new constitution to cement the changes outlined above.

==Support==
The Commonwealth Men's movement initially found little support among the [[South Sea Islands]] population. Many islanders had very little interaction with the national government, and, given the small resources available to the government, it didn't tend to intervene much in daily life.

However, the 1720 prayer book issued by the [[Protestantse Kerk in de Zuidzee-eilanden]] galvanized support for the movement more generally. While the prayer book was not the work of the government, the Commonwealth Men succeeded in attaching their broader goals to the religious dissatisfaction felt by many islanders.

By spring 1720, nearly 2000 islanders had become registered supporters of the Commonwealth Men, accounting for almost 20% of the Commonwealth's total population.

==Methods==
The Commonwealth Men's movement is broadly split into two factions. The first, and by far the largest, is a politically moderate faction committed to bringing about change by standing in elections to the Legislative Assembly and bringing about change within the existing political framework.

However, a minor second faction has called for more direct revolutionary action. This faction consists primarily of younger people and is ridiculed by many in broader society as calling for enacting the plotline to the hit TV show [[Polar Reds]].

‘’’Polar Reds’’’ is a 32-episode television programme created by the [[South Sea Islands Broadcasting Association]]. The program is split into four series, consisting of eight episodes each.

The program is set in a dystopian future and follows the lives of six residents of the [[South Sea Islands]] as they face the trials and tribulations of their new circumstances.

==Plot==

Red Solar is set in the year 1725, in a dystopian version of the near future in which the [[Government of the South Sea Islands]] has been overthrown and replaced with an ideological Communist regime.

In the program, a revolutionary minority in the Commonwealth uses the election of a new president of [[Mercury]] as a pretext to ‘democratize’ the South Sea Islands monarchy.

Told through the lives of five individuals, with disparate views regarding the legitimacy of the revolt, Red Polar examines the actions and reactions that steer events under the new system.

==Characters==

While a host of characters appear in the show, the plot follows the lives of 5 primary characters, with the storyline focusing on their experiences with the new Communist regime. Each character is described briefly below, in order of appearance in the first episode.

===Francis de Lange===

As an ideological convert to Communism, Francis de Lange is heavily involved in the overthrow of the constitutional monarchy in the opening scenes of series 1, episode 1. We’re introduced to Francis as he breaks through the glass doors of Government House in [[Joseph Town]], and we see his transformation from street revolutionary to low-level functionary within the new regime.

De Lange’s struggles to justify the regime’s actions over time, and the interplay between his beliefs and the realities of his life, dominate his character’s storyline.

===Josephine Baas===

As a maid and mail clerk at Government House, Josephine Baas is a mild-mannered social conservative, largely disinterested in the politics and processes of her employer. While she barely engages with matters of governance under the constitutional monarchy, she finds herself enraged by the excesses of the new regime, particularly following their ransacking of Government House in the first episode.

Over time Josephine Baas becomes an informant and spy for a counter-revolutionary movement within the Commonwealth.

===Gordon Middleton===

As a farmer in a remote region of [[The Camp]], Middleton is seen to be broadly unaffected by the actions of the pre-revolutionary government. Living on a self-sufficient farm with no visible neighbours and no public services, Middleton is a widower caring for a large sheep farm and his teenage daughter.

As the storyline progresses and the Communist overthrow of the government takes place, George Middleton’s farm becomes caught up in plans to communalise agriculture. In a dramatic scene at the end of series 1, Middleton shoots and kills a government functionary and is seen trying to hide his crime.

===Jan Vandervelde===

An initially enthusiastic supporter of the constitutional monarchy, Jan Vandervelde is a primary school teacher in [[Joseph Town]]. In his early appearances on the show, Vandervelde is seen trying to undermine the education policies of the new regime and shield his class from what he sees as state propaganda.

However, as he begins to receive offers of promotion, financial bonuses and higher salaries from the new regime, Vandervelde begins to question his long-held beliefs.

===Pieter Schaafsma===

As the captain of a domestic ferry operating between [[Zuid-Richel]] and [[Joseph Town]], Pieter Schaafsma is held at gunpoint in the first episode, as revolutionaries hijack his ferry as part of a campaign to severe communication links.

Following this initial trauma, Schaafsma is seen to continue his job and family life as normal under the new regime. However, in the middle of series 2, he is seen absconding with his family, taking the ferry and sailing for [[Craitland]] with the hope of claiming political asylum.
