The Toxic Regime was established in 2018 by IMrToxicI. The Toxic Regime is inspired by fictional empires from the games Half-Life and Killzone (specifically the Helghast Empire and the Combine Empire)
The Toxic Regime has been dismantled and reconstructed multiplie times throughout its history and has also participated in many wars, crisis', drama and many other activities on multiple platforms and games (including LittleBigPlanet3) and has earned its place as being one of the most infamous clans to interact with the Battlefield V community.
History
The Toxic Regime was established on the 17th of February, 2018 by TOXIC-RAGE-2002 as a milsim-clan on the game Battlefield 1. The Toxic Regime, before its establishment as a role-play clan, was a regular gaming community known as "Toxic Division." After Toxic Division attracted the attention of several individuals, a government was established and IMrToxicI was proclaimed "Autarch" of The Toxic Regime.[1]
Throughout the year of 2018, civil strife and war preoccupied the Toxic Regime's political and militaristic ambitions. However, during the year, the Toxic Regime overcame many of its conflicts and civil wars, and established a prolonged dominate force in the Battlefeild 1 community.[1] Many conflicts, stemming from the First Toxic Civil War, Second Toxic Civil War and the Toxic-American Conflict, once again arose to drive the regime into multiple conflicts, eventually culminating in the Third Toxic Civil War, which to this day has not been completely resolved.
In the last months of 2018, the Toxic Regime would establish a division on LittleBigPlanet 3 as a result of IMrToxicI joining the LittleBigPlanet/Dreams Union Discord server. Since January 2019, the Toxic Regime has been working with factions such as the Axis and the Angels of Light, supposedly helping to broker a peace deal between both factions.[1]
Tragically, the Toxic Regime, on April 23, 2019, was dissolved for a brief period of time. All operations on all games came to an end except on a game called "For Honor" where the Toxic Regime was renamed to "The Toxic Revenant" which used the same flag and symbols. On May 15th of 2019 however, the Toxic Regime was reestablished and IMrToxicI restored himself as leader of the Toxic Regime. [1] Sometime afterwords, the Toxic Regime broke into a religious civil war referred to as the "Thrid Toxic Civil War" which lasted several months and culminating in a decisive victory for the secular faction led by IMrToxicI.
Eventually, the Toxic Regime would be disbanded and reopened once again on December 1st, 2019 and a "Pax Toxica" was declared. Only in January did the Toxic Regime begin to see more activity, and was officially declared re-active in early January of 2020 and is officially remembered as "Refoundation Day." [1]
Population
According to the official member list, the Toxic Regime officially has 14 members. It is also important to note that the regime a diverse member base, with members from Canada, the United States, Brazil and Ireland. [1]
Language
The Toxic Regime has two official languages; English (the spoken and written standard) and Toxin Standard (an artistic standard for documents and political edicts.) [1]
The Grade System
The Grade System of the Toxic Regime works similarly to how the feudal class system works; that being all members of the Toxic Regime are separated into certain socio-economic classes based on their technical and intellectual skill set. Each grade has its own occupation and or career which a member will take the position of upon joining that certain grade.[1]
The Grades go in this descending order:
- Patricians (The Rulers, leaders and Directors of the Toxic Regime)
- Lords (The Divisional Governors, Consuls, and Political Bloc Leaders)
- Bourgeois (The Intellectual Class, Wealthy Class, and Business Owners within the Toxic Regime)
- Proletariat (The working Middle Class population of the Toxic Regime. Generally serving in occupations related to businesses, the military or the government)
- Peons (The Impoverished, Skilled Labour ordinated population. solely serving as only military personnel in the lower ranks of the military)
- Serfs (Indentures, Prisoners and Slaves)
Policy of Assimilation
The Toxic Regime, like the fictional Combine Empire from the Half-Life Series, enforces a policy of cultural and technological assimilation among its members and games it's on. This means that all peoples that join the Toxic Regime are integrated within the state apparatus and serve to promote, create, and manipulate Toxin content for the external community in order to promote the cultural and player base identity of the Toxic Regime. Technology also has the same sort of policy, in where technology on games such as LBP and Minecraft is acquired and reversed in order to serve the purposes of the state for the purposes of warfare and suppression of political and cultural dissidence. [1] In other words, the Toxic Regime's government assumes control over members' creations for create war against its enemies and to reinforce a political belief in pseudo-power. The regime plans to continue this policy in Dreams, but with more aggressive enforcement of the policy. [1]

Political Privileges Reinstated and the Bloc System
When the Toxic Regime reopened, it was agreed upon that the policy of banning radical ideologies was reductive, and hence was objectively destabilizing. Instead of banning ideologies, the 'Bloc System' was created in order to balance the political environment of the regime. The Bloc System is a divisional system wherein all members are divided into blocs. These blocs represent the political makeup of the regime.
Religion
Foreign Relations
Despite there being no formal Union government, the Toxic Regime considers itself a member state of the LittleBigPlanet Union despite there being no formal Union government, making this status illegitimate. However, despite the Union's previous firm stance against the Axis, the Toxic Regime has acted freely to engage in communications with them but no longer does due to the Axis falling apart as of mid-2019.[1]
Military
The military of the Toxic Regime, also referred to as the Strategic and Armed Apparatus of the Toxic Regime, is a complex, extremely regimented force, meant to both protect the Toxic Regime and partake in aggressive flame/clan wars. The military of the Toxic Regime is divided into four sections:
- The Toxic Army
- The Toxic Navy
- The Cosmic Navy (Used only in games which allow for the use of Starships)
- The Toxic Air Force
Each division of the army has its own complete ranking system. It is also very important to note that all members are required to partake in military activities when required.[1]
Culture and Style
The Toxic Regime upholds a style of society that upholds obedience and strictness. Though this is the case, personal freedom and expression are still not prohibited. The political/cultural makeup of the Toxic Regime is very traditional and conservative in nature and upholds a society that is strict in protecting and aggressively spreading nostalgic and symbolic aspects and values of the clan. Military service and culture is also a very big aspect of the Toxic Regime, ever since the Toxic Regime prides itself with having an army of intellectuals and battle-hardened veterans from games such as Battlefield V and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It is also important to note that a lot of the art, technology and culture of the Toxic Regime is influenced by fictional nations such as The Helghast Empire and the Combine Empire.[1]
