The Civic Republic is one of three interconnected communities that also include one in Portland and one in Omaha.
They formed through something called the Alliance of the Three, hence the symbol of the three rings.
The CR also typically doesn’t let anyone in or out of the colonies.

The three communities came to this agreement in the hopes of building a new future for humanity.
World Beyondbegins at the Omaha colony, dubbed the Campus Colony.
Hope was the one who witnessed her mother’s death.
In her panic, the woman fired and killed Kari.
As a teenager, Hope is a rebel.
She immediately recognizes Hope and Iris as Leo’s children.
Elizabeth appears friendly enough, but Hope is outspoken in her distrust of the CRM.
Later on, the girls receive a new message from their father.
It’s brief and slightly misspelled, but his note is clear: “My safety not assured.”
They promise not to tell.
Silas suffers from lingering rumors about what he did back in the city.
Hope and Iris take the note to Felix, who urges them not to jump to conclusions.
Their frustration spills out into the street, where Elizabeth overhears the girls' concerns about the CRM.
Elizabeth mentions that she has a daughter who’s serving in their military.
(Might this be Isabelle fromFTWD?)
But that their separation is for a greater purpose.
After a night of drinking, Iris and Hope see a new message from their dad.
This time, it’s clear: “It’s gone bad.
Keeping my head down.
I’ll find help.
Don’t tell the Council.
Don’t tell Felix.”
The death of her therapist (from apparent natural causes) puts things into perspective for Iris.
During her speech for Monument Day, she expresses her distrust of the CR to Elizabeth’s face.
Afterward, she and Hope make plans to head to New York and somehow rescue their dad.
They ask Elton and Silas for help get out of the compound and end up bringing them along.
It’s the pregnant woman Hope killed years ago.
His unborn baby sister also died that night.
Felix and Huck find a note left behind by the girls and they set out in pursuit.
It’s a good thing, because soon after the CRM are seen killing people in the colony.
Actor Al Calderon appears as Barca, one of the CRM soldiers.
Barca says they searched everyone but couldn’t find “her.”
No other descriptor was mentioned.
Just “her.”
What we do know is that these folks are bad news.
But we already knew that, didn’t we?
