Yorkshire Against Communism (YAC)

Yorkshire Against Communism, commonly abbreviated as the YAC, is a paramilitary force active in the northern English counties that make up the larger Yorkshire area. The YAC was founded in April 1922 and operates from the city of Scarborough. The leadership of the YAC come from wealthy Fascist sympathisers and Conservative landowners who reacted to the establishment of the Commune of English Industrial Cities by uniting themselves into one entity (The Sunday Pact) and raising local militia units (mostly from North Yorkshire, the centre of YAC power).

History
The YAC emerged from a series of meetings between Conservative landowners of North Yorkshire held in Scarborough after the outbreak of the Civil War in early March of 1922. The meetings were organised out of shared fears about the Commune of English Industrial Cities and their quick, aggressive expansion into Yorkshire. The process of forming the YAC was drastically sped up after the Occupation of York by Commune units in late March 1922. On Sunday the 9th of April, meetings that had been taking place for the past four weeks culminated in an agreement dubbed 'The Sunday Pact' which rallied several militia units into one, cohesive fighting force.
