The '''Lunaran Socialist Movement''' also known as '''Lunsoc''' or simply '''The Movement''' is a fringe political organization, philosophy and way of life that exists solely within the confines of the planned settlement of Lunara. Permission to settle and construct a self sustaining town in an uninhabited area of Shan province was granted in 2003 to Hugo Saavedra, a foreigner of unclear nationality and about forty of his followers. Saavedra or 'the Dark Lord' as his followers refer to him appears to have a hypnotic, vice-like grip on 'The Movement' | The '''Lunaran Socialist Movement''' also known as '''Lunsoc''' or simply '''The Movement''' is a fringe political organization, philosophy and way of life that exists solely within the confines of the planned settlement of Lunara.

Lunsoc espouses what it calls 'Lunaran Socialism', a bizarre and mostly undefined set of ideas that may only be tangentially to socialism as commonly understood. Lunsoc's seeming overriding aim is to alternatively better the community and to cause fear and dominate other local towns as a mafia would. | |||
Neighboring towns accuse Lunsoc of organizing fraudulent charity events, participating in random street brawls and arson, extortion of small time animal farmers and hunters and mass littering(mainly Lunsoc propaganda pamphlets). Lunsoc for its part posits that it is merely working towards a 'greater Lunara' and the overall good of the community and that those that oppose it will be crushed underfoot as vermin. For unknown reasons authorities have been almost lethargic in their response, merely issuing a few minor fines. | Neighboring towns accuse Lunsoc of organizing fraudulent charity events, participating in random street brawls and arson, extortion of small time animal farmers and hunters and mass littering(mainly Lunsoc propaganda pamphlets).
