Republic of Cordolva

The Republic of Cordolva was a state to the far east, bordering the Duchy of Creneash to the north west, the Kingdom of Auchinmore to the west, and the Kingdom of Várrény to the north. The Republic came to an end after El Presidente Juan Esteban San Martín declared the formation of the Cordolvan Empire in 257.
In 160 KOR, the Kingdom of Cordolva underwent a massive political revolution led by Prime Minister Emanuel Ordóñez that saw the old monarchy, which had been at odds with the Kingdom of Kordowyn for quite some time over Kordynian eastward expansion, overthrown in favor of the new republican government. A civil war soon broke out between the old nobility and the new republic, with the Kingdom of Kordowyn assisting both sides in hopes of elongating the conflict and weakening the Cordolvans. Eventually, the Kordynians received an offer they could not refuse, however, and became fully involved in the conflict in 163 KOR in support of the republican government. Originally, the Kordynians intended to assist the Prime Minister with the intent of him being declared as the new King at the end of the civil war. The Kordynians hoped to create a powerful ally in the east, not initially intending to force the Cordolvans into submission. However these plans never came to fruition, as less than a year after the First Cordolvan Civil War ended, the Prime Minister was assassinated and his successor declared himself "El Presidente" and declared hostilities between his Republic and the Kingdom of Kordowyn. By Spring of 164, the Kordynians found themselves once again laying siege to Guadares under the pretext of "maintaining the peace that Prime Minister Ordóñez created", and by the end of the year El Presidente Luciano Murillo was ousted and the Republic of Cordolva was officially created as a client state of the Kingdom of Kordowyn in the East.
In the aftermath of the Cordolvan Civil War, the young Republic saw significant backlash from their own people, and constant uprisings and revolts from the nobility and peasantry alike, as well as significant corruption, has kept the Republic in a precarious and strained situation. The strain on the Republic would boil over in 247, leading directly to the Irchvanian War of Independence and the subsequent Second Cordolvan Civil War.
San Martín was deposed just prior to the Second Cordolvan Civil War, being replaced by Generalissimo Benito Montes, who in turn was deposed during the Imperial Civil War by Luciano Juderías. San Martín would return as Presidente in 257, defeating incumbent Juderías in a shock to many. San Martín would go on to declare the Cordolvan Empire not long after his election, and thus would bring an end to the Republic.
