The AFRSR is a rival government by the Communist party of the Philippines, which has waged an insurgency against the Japanese backed government in Manila. It currently resides in the north of Manila.
It has an uneasy truce with the Free Philippine Republic, later moving south during the Balintawak Blitz and potentially coming into conflict with US forces, otherwise forming a coalition government with them.

The AFRSR will rebrand into the People's Republic of the Philippines and change its flag after the Balintawak blintz and ending alliance with Free Philippine Republic.
