I got this idea one day and thought it would make a really cool RP. Since basicaly every Province in Tamriel is a capitalist monarchy, I thought it would be cool to see how the whole Elder Scrolls universe would reacte to Communism and Republicanism. So this is the story...

In 3 E 101 there was a man named Leopold Trax, he was born and raised in the Imperial City, both his parents worked in the White-Gold Tower as assistants to the Emperor of Tamriel. Because of this he lived a very wealthy life with his brothers and sisters, one day he was playing with some of his a ball, he kicked it a little to far and it rolled into the street, into one of the city slums, so naturally he ran after it, once he went to get his ball, he couldn't believe what he saw, people who were sick, had no food, etc. He was so saddened by what he saw, that he promised himself he would dedicate his life to making sure that people don't have to live like that anymore.

He loved writing and would do it all the time even before he saw the poverty that people went through. He also studied law and politics, learning everything he could about the current system in which Tamriel is run. What he learned was that almost everyone on Tamriel universally follow one system of market, Capitalism. A system in which competion was encouraged and people with "better" or "harder" jobs earn more and therefor can get better things. This obviously created classism in Tamrielic society. But the worse of all was the Monarch, one family gets to live better then everyone else in society simply because they were born into a certain family. It was the epitome of classism in Tamriel. So Trax wrote about how ways that people could run society differently from Captalism.

For the market, he thought everyone should earn the same wage, regardless of job, so that way everyone would have enough to live a comfortable life and poverty could be abolished. Because of this, he thought the economy would never go bad, since all the money would be regulated in that way and everyone could live in a good, strong society. He also believed that Healthcare and education should be universal, as Trax believed it was a right to have access to those things, he also wanted them to be well-funded enough so that all different types of medicine and education could be used (remember, with the good economy, this could be done), and finally he wished to completely abolish the monarchy, and instead form a new type of Government system, a republic he called it. Where people can elect the leaders of the country as opposed to having them forced upon them like in a monarchy, where people could simply impeach a bad leader, as opposed to getting them out of power through a war, this elected leader would be called a President. The President wouldn't have all the power though, there would also be a group of representitives (also elected by the people) that share the power with the people and the president, they would be called the Parliament. With the power devided between the P-Trinity (President, Parliment, people) nobody would have complete control in government, preventing corruption. He named the whole ideology Communism.

Trax was about 28 years old by the time he had completed Communism. After that he tried to actually make these ideas a reality, by attempting to start a Communist party in Cyrodiil, but before the news of it could even reach around the whole province, the Government had shut the party down, attempted to arrest Trax and everyone who agreed with him, they also banned all of his works, so that people wouldn't get the same ideas. It makes sense why the Government would do this, as they didn't want to loose their power of course! Trax was eventually killed in 3 E 132 (at age 31). Since the Empire has been losing Provinces in the Oblivion Crisis, Trax's works have been popping up more and more, especially in Skyrim, so let's see how the citizens of Tamriel will react to such revolutionary ideas being shown to them. The year is 4 E 216. Two years after the founding of the People's Democratic Republic of Skyrim. The President Fjork, has done both good and bad for Skyrim.

The good:

Children and adults are much better educated because of universal education.

People are living longer and healthier lives due to the universal healthcare policies.

Skyrim has the lowest crime rate of any Province in Tamriel, due to their well-funded guards and advanced prison system.

Poverty is virtually non-existant due to the fact that everyone is ensured a job and a decent pay.

The Economy in Skyrim is at an all time high.

The bad:

Criticism of the government is illegal.

The Government has complete control of the media, press, etc.

Colletivist Farming can sometimes lead to famines.

Travling across the Province was difficult due to government regulations.

People would sometimes have no motivation to work hard because of the equal pay policies.

But most of these details were unknown to the outside Provinces because Skyrim became very secluded after the Communist revolution. But one fact was well known, that Skyrim was the only Province on Tamriel to be a Republic. Most Provinces like Cyrodiil the Summerset Isles (Monarch orented provinces) thought the idea of that was laughable, but some people actually thought that Republics and Communism were revolutionary, and since Traxist works were appearing around Tamriel again, people could actually educate themself on Communist beliefs. One Province in preticular that this happened in was Morrowind.
