Salviatist Commonwealth

Catcheism: We will dominate.

Formed out of a group of nations in Western Eurasia to resist Vidalian attempts at imposing an ultra-communist regime throughout the world throughout the 20th century, the Salviatist Commonwealth (formally Štatkomunumo de Salviatia but also "das Geminwohl", or G-SALV to some of its enemies) consists of the descendents of the survivors of the War of '84: that last titanic war "that ended all wars" on Old Earth once and for all. Although the war saw the biggest threat to their existence, the Vidalist Union, being wiped out throughout Eurasia, it did not come without a heavy cost, for by the time the war ended, most of Salviatia, including the old capital of Franz-Heinrichsstadt, was all but ruined. This was further exacerbated by their Federal allies turning on them and a civil war caused by the upheavals of systemic collapse.

Salviatian loyalists retreated to their only remaining major city importance, Siegstadt, and have vigorously attempted to rebuild their power with a slew of unconventional and highly controversial technologies, aided by the iron rule of the all-omnipresent Supreme Salviat, which is headed by the reclusive Franz Heinrich von Salviat. Since then, The whole of Salviatist civlisation continues its trajectory of upholding its prized racial superiority, resulting in the gradual absorption of Salviatia by technological singularity resulting in a further melding of machine and man the likes of which had never been seen before. A space programme using technologies scavenged from the badlands of Eurasia has since then see the Salviatian Commonwealth develop colonies on the Martian moons of Phobos and Deimos as well as a single super space station in terrestrial orbit, but this new arrangement did not fully result in a full recovery as expected. STELO's control over space continues to solidify, while raids from fringe groups from their old enemy, the Vidalist Confederacy, have continued to intensify. It will ultimately be the task of the Salviatist Commonwealth to resurrect the glories of the late Salviatist Reich and purge Earth and the rest of the Solar System of all untermenschen, plutocrats and godless Vidalist anarchists before they destroy the human race with their intolerable vices and philosophies of decadence.
