The All-Filipino Revolutionary Socialist Republic, officially the Hukbong Bayan Laban sa Hapon, or more known as the AFRSR or Hukbalahap is one of the three rival governments in the Philippine Archipelago. The nation is an unrecognized state created in opposition to the Japanese-Backed Second Philippine Republic, based in Northern Luzon.
As part of their revolutionary goal of creating a Socialist Republic in the Philippines, it wages an guerilla and people's war against the Second Philippine Republic to the south.
It consists of Filipino peasants and farmers fighting against the occupation of Japan and the KALIBAPI. While the nation is neutral, the Huks begrudgingly work with the Commonwealth Exiles and the United States to keep themselves afloat and armed.
History
Second World War
The AFSR has its roots in the Hukbalahap movement, an insurgency started by peasants in Luzon. The Lava Brothers would declare a workers and peasants republic in 1945, and immediately begin carrying out land reform, with large estates broken up and given to peasantry, among other changes throughout the north of the Philippine Archipelago.
Philippine War and Aftermath
The Philippines Communists realised they could not defeat the Japanese by themselves, so they entered into an alliance with the Free Philippine Republic, together they would launch an offensive in 1959. While the Free Filipinos made substantial gains, the Huks would be forced to retreat, embarking upon a long withdrawal that becamse known as the Great Paddy March. in the aftermath, the head of the PKP Luis Taruc would attack General Secretary Jose Lava, stating his caustion and dogmatism had cost the revolution. Taruc would then oust Lava, becoming the leader of the newly proclaimed AFRSR.
National Spirits
The AFRSR starts with the following National Spirits
| Name | In Game Description | Effects |
|---|---|---|
| The Wounded Revolution | ||
| The Changeless Land | Peasants freed from a landlord's service find themselves sworn personally to high-ranking partymen. Chairmen parcel the richest lands of murdered hacienderos among themselves, leaving tenants with rocks and barren soil. Deprived of an enemy to fight, armed bands invent ones - villagers, miners, fishermen - as they reave the hills and countrysides for the last of their wealth.
"Why indepedence, if the slaves of today will be the tyrants of tomorrow?" said the embittered Simoun. As the exiled revolutionaries console themselves with reactionary excess, a growing many wonder likewise. |

| Para sa Ating Himagsikan | How must a proper revolutionary deal with the revisionists and reactionaries within his party's ranks, especially when they outnumber him so? Must he give his life to lance the boils on its corpus? Wrestle control from its heterodox leadership? Or must he declare the vipers' nest beyond redemption and form his own like-minded cadre?
Those incensed with the Revolutionary Republic's slow decay chose a fourth path: cooperating with the traitors, for now. Acknowledging red landlords as their comrades, for now. Resisting with neither arms nor protest, much as it pains them, for now. For no other government would ever entertain liberating the masses of its own volition, neither Tokyo's puppet nor Washington's. No, the people would sooner be freed by the revolution's hand, diseased but mendable, than by two different colors of colonialist whip. This swear the dreamers in a party of "pragmatists". |
