Fourth Reich

The Nazis are a National Socialist faction in the Metro centered around the three main stations of Tverskaya, Chekhovskaya and Pushkinskaya which they dub "The Reich". However, they maintain numerous outposts and maintain a military presence in several outlying stations, possibly as an attempt at expansion as the Nazis are an imperialist faction. They are headed by one man, the Führer, and obey his every command (giving the impression of an authoritarian society). They formed their organization based on the Third Reich of Nazi Germany, however, it is not for German purity, like its predecessor, but rather for their Genetic Purity free of deformities. For example, anybody that has even the slightest deformity found in the Metro are considered a lower race and treated as second class. However, another trait unique to the post-war world is the strict regulations they heavily emphasize. The Reich is always "improving" their standards. They want humanity to be rid of corrupt genes caused by radiation. If a person is missing two fingers or even a toe, the penalty is death. Recently, more strict standards are implemented such as height. The Reich's race and genetic standards cause many people living inside the Reich to become Refugees.
