Indonesian Commune

The Indonesian Commune is a communist-controlled coalition established in 2046 A.D., comprising Oceanic and Southeast Asian nations. Formed as a direct response to the perceived exploitation and dominance of Australia and China under the Terran Defense Authority (TDA), the Commune aims to liberate Oceania from foreign control and assert its own revolutionary regime. With its capital in Singapore, the Indonesian Commune operates under a planned economy, emphasizing centralized control and state planning to achieve its objectives of regional autonomy and communist governance.

Prior to the formation of the Indonesian Commune, Indonesia was governed by a democratic political party that supported the TDA’s centralization efforts. The party believed that alignment with the TDA and its dominant members, China and Australia, would benefit Indonesia economically by providing open trade opportunities and access to global markets.

Over time, it became clear that this alignment was a strategic maneuver by the TDA powers to exploit Indonesia’s resources. China and Australia utilized the TDA’s policies to gain unrestricted access to Indonesian resources and markets, often without fair compensation or regard for Indonesia’s economic sovereignty. This exploitation left Indonesia economically weakened and politically marginalized.

The growing realization of being used as a pawn for external gain fueled public and political discontent. The democratic government’s failure to address these grievances or negotiate better terms with the TDA powers led to increasing unrest among the populace.

The Indonesian Commune was established in 2046 A.D. as a direct response to the dissatisfaction with Australian and Chinese dominance under TDA centralization. This coalition of communist-controlled Oceanic and Southeast Asian nations aimed to "Free Oceania" from foreign control and assert a new, autonomous regime.

• Liberate Oceania: The primary goal is to reclaim Oceania from TDA influence and establish a communist regime across the region.
• Resist Exploitation: The Commune seeks to end the economic exploitation and political manipulation that characterized Indonesia’s relationship with China and Australia.

The leader of the Indonesian Commune, Arjun Tan Wei Liang, played a pivotal role in the revolution. His leadership was marked by:

• Rapid and Violent Revolution: Under Tan’s command, the Commune launched a swift and bloody revolution against the previous democratic government. This included coordinated assaults on key government and military positions.
• Morally Questionable Tactics: The revolution was characterized by aggressive purges, public executions, and the establishment of re-education camps. These methods were used to consolidate power and eliminate dissent.
• Propaganda and Intimidation: The Commune utilized intense propaganda to rally support and employed fear and intimidation to maintain control and suppress opposition.

• Naval and Marine Warfare: The Indonesian Commune relies heavily on naval and marine capabilities to execute its military strategy. This focus enables rapid deployment and maneuverability across Oceania’s numerous islands.
 
• Territorial Gains: The Commune’s naval strength has facilitated significant advances across Oceania, allowing for effective control of key territories.

• Infestation Outbreak: A significant outbreak of infestation has complicated operations and strained resources.
 
• Australian TDA Resistance: Intense combat with TDA forces in Papua New Guinea has slowed the Commune’s progress, contributing to a prolonged conflict.

The Indonesian Commune’s campaign is marked by a complex interplay of territorial ambitions, biohazard complications, and strong resistance from TDA forces. Arjun Tan Wei Liang’s leadership, characterized by both his strategic acumen and morally ambiguous tactics, adds further complexity to the situation. The evolving dynamics of the conflict underscore the need for continued strategic adjustments and monitoring.
