Oh, they're not that oppressive. Or willing to kill their own citizens. There's just....alot of quiet desperation to them.
They're sort of inspired, partially, by the purity faction in Beyond Earth. Clinging to the past because the present has kicked them around but good, often with the technology someone said would be a salvation. Seeing other factions running around with tech they've seen abused, they know can be abused, in horrible ways...
Well.
I'd start to polish my artillery pieces too.

And I'm saving that link.
While they probably didn't have it as badly as the Neo-Soviets, Terminus and the Simulacrum might feel some kinship with the Neo-Soviets just due to the simple fact that they were both born from horrific adversity. I haven't filled out my history section yet, but the species that the Simulacrum belong to destroyed themselves. Twice. Imagine the Vaults from Fallout, and you'd have a pretty good idea of what the first Simulacrum were 'born' into. It was a biological research lab experimenting with a variety of things, including cloning, who subjected the clones to horrific experiments for the good of the 'future' of the species. Of course eventually the clones escaped, rose up, and butchered almost everyone in the lab. Then the remnants of their species began another war and destroyed themselves again while the Simulacrum were still beneath the ground, and they emerged to find their entire species extinct aside from themselves and they had the unenviable position of rebuilding civilization.
I'm not 100% certain of what it was that killed caused the 'ends of the world' though. Under normal circumstances I'd just go with nuclear war, but nukes aren't as effective in a vacuum.
