The Free and Sovereign State of Chiapas or just Chiapas is an Anarchist State in Central America. It is bordered by Mexico to the North and Guatemala to the south. Chiapas is a very young country, as it gained its independence in early 1994.
History[]
The History of Chiapas remains the same up until 1994 when the Zapatistas, now much more powerful and popular with the people along with American and Cuban support, rise up against the Mexican Government and the Government of Chiapas in what is known as the Zapatista Uprising. The Zapatistas are eventually able to establish control over all of Chiapas, as they capture the capital of the Mexican State, and push back Mexican Forces out of the state of Chiapas. With the Mexican Forces weakened, the government of Mexico sued for peace, and eventually led to the creation of the ”Free and Sovereign State of Chiapas”.
Government[]
Chiapas’s Government is very decentralized, and is based on the ideas of Neo-Zapatism, which is a form on anarchism. Chiapas is divided into 27 different communes, which all have full autonomy, and may make any law concerning what is taught in schools, gun laws, may decide what to build and where, may collect their own taxes, and may divide up property any way they like. They have their own court systems, and own communal governments. Communes have their own security forces that operate under basic Marxist ideals, and revolutionary law, along with communal laws decide by the communal governments. The Chiapas revolutionary government may not intervene in the affairs of the communes, even when they violate revolutionary law, instead, that’s left up to the citizens and other communal government wings to stop. The capital city is the only real city that operates fully under the Chiapas revolutionary government. The Chiapas Revolutionary Government is very weak, and really only acts as a advisor, and the defense of the nation, and also is meant to enforce the revolutionary ideals in the communes, and keep true to the Neo-Zapatista economic ideas. The revolutionary government also may decide laws and content of media in the country, and may control the country’s main television station.
Freedom of speech is allowed in Chiapas, and any protest against the government is allowed, but it isn’t reported by local media outlets or the national television station.
Woman’s rights in Chiapas is ranked as one of the best in the world, and is protected by the Chiapas government and the Communes in every way possible. Woman are allowed to join the military, work at whatever job they wish, marry whomever they want, and have the right to be free of abuse from a relative for a stranger.
Economy[]
The economy in Chiapas runs on the ideology of Neozapatismo, and is based on the ideas of Marxism, and a command economy in general. More to be added.
