This all boiled over in Katystan on November 7th, 1917, when the army joined the protesters and began to seize key buildings in various cities. The Red Front laid siege to the palace of queen Li-Sigrid. With support from the army the Red Front stormed the palace and arrested the queen and many of her nobles. The [[Red Front]] established the Katystan Socialist State and a regional Revolutionary Council in the capital of Katesval To coordinate the revolution and spread it to the neighbouring countries.
This sudden revolution in Katystan Inspired the [[Red Front]] in Trudatsya, Kyravnia and Alasemo to seize the initiative. In Trudatsya and Kyravnia large workers strikes supported by mutinying soldiers seize large parts of the nations industry and in Alasemo peasants began throwing aristocrats off their land or killing them. Trudatsya's government and Kyravnia's corporate board fled the region and Alasemo's king, Ivan, was killed when peasants stormed his private palace in the countryside. By november 11th, the [[Red Front]] established New Socialist States In each nation. each nation would face internal opposition organised by the old governments but never full civil war, but in Alasemo in particular opposition by

The Constitution of Katyunon is the document that sets out how the federation functions and the powers of the Federal, National and local governments.
Article 1 describes the role of the federal government. the Katyunion Congress of Soviets would have 400 seats in total. All members are to be elected every 5 years by single transferable vote. they alone would hold power over defence and foreign policy. they would also control the federal bank and be in charge of monetary policy and Income tax. To ensure fair trade, all safety, security, environmental and trade regulations, as well as workers rights, would be decided by the federal government the revenue for the Federal government is generated through contributions from each
Article 2 describes the role of the National governments. each nation in the federation would have its own national parliaments each elected every 5 years by single transferable vote. the amount of seats in these parliaments are decided by population and must all total the amount of seats in the Katyunion Congress of Soviets. Every national parliament would Independently decide economic, social, environmental and security policy, only limited by federal regulatory legislation and by the local soviets veto on projects in their jurisdiction . all national congresses can decide their own fiscal policy
Article 3 sets out local government responsibility. local Soviets are to be elected every 5 years and are in charge of managing local economies. They have the power to set land value taxes for their area and to use this money to improve local communities how they see fit, they may also receive funding from the national governments. Local Soviets may start local construction projects without the permission of the national Soviet, however, if the national Soviet wishes to begin construction in a Local Soviets jurisdiction, they must receive permission from the Local Soviet, giving Local Soviets and effective veto on government projects.
Article 4 codifies a commitment to an egalitarian and democratic economic policy. Article 4 prohibits private ownership entirely, so all enterprises must be socially owned, either by the public or as a cooperative. It mandates that all enterprises must have democratically elected and accountable leadership through an Independent Trade Union. the electorate, workers who are union members , usually elect shop-steward councils which act as management for individual workplaces, as well as a stewardship board which decide the value of their labour as well as allocation of resources and the national strategy to meet their production goals, this is not the same in all industries but is the most widely used model. planning decisions are made by Local soviets and regional planning boards made up of members of the local soviets. National governments also appoint national planning boards to make planning decisions in the interests of the nation as a whole. these boards decide production goals for public enterprises and the compensation for their labour and can set targets for cooperatives if needed through the negotiation of planning agreements with the Stewardship board. the syndicates however independently plan how to meet these goals and are to be free form direct government interference.

Article 5 sets out the role of the judiciary. the supreme court of Katyunon is made up of two representatives from each nation, appointed by each national supreme court. Each nation within the federation has its own supreme court, which is elected by the people within that nation every 10 years. local court judges are then appointed by the national supreme courts. These courts are to hold the executive and legislature to account, ensure they follow the constitution through the use of judicial review and to interpret legislation passed by the legislature.
Article 6 sets out various rights held by the citizens of the federation. These include the right to freedom of speech, right to assembly, equal right to vote, right to a fair trial by jury and right to humane treatment in incarceration. The right to all the means of life such as food, water, shelter, heat, light, health, education, communication and movement ensure the well being of all citizens, must be provided by the federal government. Notably absent from these protections are religious protections, these are left to the individual nations to decide.
