Flag of SUDS by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

The Socialist Union of Democratic States was the internationalist rebrand of the French Commune, Ailedhoo's inaugural player state in Imperium Offtopicum IX. While not fully appreciated at the time, SUDS offered the template for pretty much his entire play style. A heterogeneous mix of leftist movements ranging from anarchists to Stalinists, it was almost always rattling sabres with its neighbours over the 'inevitable' global revolution, including my own Downfall Gang. Ironically, SUDS avoided the pariah status incurred by his later countries' political pig-headedness and militant fundamentalism, thanks in large part to being drafted into international coalitions against the even more insane powergamers christos200 and Domination3000.

Originally submitted to the now-defunct IOT Wiki in 2016, replacing Ailed's rough-cut raster. Fist by Rafelgr. Package includes the flag of the Socialist Organisation of Democratic Societies, a spiritual successor seen in Taniciusfox's The Universe Game, which moves the stars to the bottom.
