Free State Broadcasting (FSB) (German: Freistaatliche Rundfunk; French: Radiodiffusion de l'État Libre) is an Akli state-funded independent national and international broadcaster funded by the noble families and the Government of Akliland. The service is available in 40+ languages and is independent from any government influence.
The FSB was influential in shaping the politics of 20th century history in Akliland and numerous parts of the world, having been involved in a list of controversies and leaks. In the 1960's, FSB journalists were responsible for documenting whistleblowers in the Akliland military during the Last Great War, uncovering illegal operations conducted by Insec, and exposing the plans of the Conservative Party of Akliland, leading to its loss in the 1968 election and collapse.
Founded in 1930 by journalist Adam Godstone and business executive Juergen Gandesell as a radio service with the support of the administration of Margarethe Andelin, it has since grown in broadcast area and has consistently served countries with no press freedom or countries that are war-torn, with FSB sending journalists to report in often dangerous areas.
Throughout the 2010's and 2020's, FSB has been making attempts at sending journalists into North Korea, Brunei, Russia, China, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Israel. FSB has operated many broadcasting services in its history with notable services including the Confederal British Akliland Service, Korean Service, Chinese Service, Warsaw Pact Service, Central African Service, European Service, Middle Eastern Service, FSB South American Service and the Iberian Service.
