The West Coast People's Democratic Republic was a communist state located on the west coast of North America. As was common among the fraternal socialist states, the Communist Party ruled the country absolutely. The National Bureau of Investigation was the government's strong arm. The Falcons were a boys group connected to the party. The Kittens were the group for girls.
The state of California was an important part of the WCPDR. Cities were sub-divided into regional party committees, which were in turn sub-divided into blocks, which were overseen by individual chairmen who usually did as their immediate committees bid them.
Elections took place when the Party deemed them appropriate. Other political parties, such as the Democrats, the Progressives, and the Republicans were still legal, but citizens were directed to vote for the Communist Party.
As was often the case in socialist states, the upper echelons of the Party's nomenklatura enjoyed more power and privilege than the average workers they were nominally working on behalf of. Thus, a quiet resistance began to grow, with average citizens slowly working against state.[1]
