The Free City of Charlotte Independence Front

The Free City of Charlotte Indepence Front (FCCIF) is an extremist group dedicated to separating the identity of the Free City of Charlotte as much as possible from its neighbor and rival, the Beanland. Despite living within egg-throwing distance of each other, the cities of Beandenberg and Charlotte are almost constantly aggressive towards one another, and open hostilities are not entirely uncommon. The latest attempt at peace, the historic Beandenberg-Charlotte Line, was quickly bombed out of commission before anyone was able to actually ride it other than Emperor Bean I himself, and he built the damn railway.

Authorities and citizens of the Beanland alike are unsure as to the exact strength of the FCCIF. Estimates range anywhere from 1 to 2000. The Free City of Charlotte is known to be home to only one person, yet many eyewitnesses of FCCIF attacks swear that the acts of aggression are so swift and precise, surely no less than a small army of men could pull them off.

A majority of speculators now believe the FCCIF is itself a front for Governor LeMous, the ruler of the Free City of Charlotte, to terrorize the city of Beandenberg without political repercussions. Furthermore, some theorists even claim that Lord Conspirator Dorkus is not only aware of the governor's incursions, but actively attempts to cover them up by affirming the existence of the FCCIF. It's hard to say, as most of these theorists are quickly rounded up and sent to a "safe, secure place."

It's no secret that the Beanland and the Free City of Charlotte couldn't have more polarity between their views: On the one hand, Charlotte wants nothing less than total, complete independence from the ever-expanding theocracy of the Beanland; on the other hand, the Beanland wants nothing less than total subjugation of the city of Charlotte into its dominion. These tense conditions are optimal for groups like the FCCIF to form, and whether the extremist group actually does exist or not, it's clear to most that a full-scale conflict between the Beanland and Charlotte is inevitable.
