Through the years, the commune would continue to rapidly grow despite constant external threats.
In a surprising twist then, the greatest threat would turn out to be an internal one.
The collapse of the Free Merchant traders plunged the Commune's leadership into a period of significant infighting, and seeing an opportunity, the survivors of the Commune quickly moved to oust them.
Afterwards, the settlement was re-organized under a democratically elected council and the resources of Tacoma were distributed by need and popular vote.
The Commune would soon earn a reputation as a place where the struggles of the wasteland were shared, and where the horrors of the world were faced together.
