 '''Commies OXP'''<br>
 Communism is the state in which people work for the betterment of all, not for personal acquisition and advancement. Many communist worlds are economic powerhouses in which all citizens are employed by the state in farms or factories to fuel the economy, even convicted criminals are put to useful labour in the [[Astro_Mines|Asteroid Mines]]. Unlike other systems, communist planets communicate freely with each other, exchanging technology and resources. It is for this reason that many unique space stations and ship may be found, such as the [[SLAPU|Solar Laboratory And Production Unit (SLAPU)]], the [[CZGF|Collective Zero Gravity Factory]], the [[Worker's_Commuter|Worker's Commuter]] transport ship, the [[Sturgeon_Mk.I|Commissar Limousine]] and the [[Giant_Ray|Ray Police Cruiser]]. Communist states dislike the corrupting influence of other commercialised governments, even to the point that they insist that GalCop have only a minimal presence in their space-lanes. It is the role of the People's Police and the Thought Police to patrol these regions, in their unique [[Ray_Mk.I|Ray Mark I]] police ships.

   Commies and Dictators add a certain flavour to the respective systems, e.g. by giving them their own police force. But this is about the system, meaning the planet and its government.

 === Stranger's World issue ===
 ====Problem: position of solar stations====
-The coding used to move the sun further from the main planet in [[Strangers World]] can lead to conflicts with some of the other methods for placing stations, especially those near the sun. This is especially problematic for Commies OXP ([[SLAPU]]s & [[CZGF]]s) as well as [[Hathor Trade Station]]s and a few others. See [http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21298 Bizarre locations of Stranger's World Stations] for more on this.
