Union of Democratic Socialist Republics

The Union of Democratic Socialist Republics, informally known as the UDSR, was a collection of nations located throughout Abexilas. This included the nations Novaterra, Nasovyczas, and Vostokchevnya. Founded on the pursuit of social justice, economic equality, and collective welfare, the country maintained a representative democracy with representatives from the aforementioned nations for the collective security of their borders.
The UDSR was dissolved in the Summer of 29 VE after a diplomatic conflict with DonFuer, Yimmu-Audal, and Lenoria. Former UDSR citizens left for Krasnoi, Novakrasny, the State of Vladistan, Vostokchevnya, and Lenoria.

===The Nasovycza Revolution (26 VE - 27 VE)===
General Secretary of Nasovyczas, Jacov Alexandervich, grew unpopular with the people of Nasovyczas, leading to a push for democratizing the role of General Secretary and the resignation of Alexandervich. Alexandervich left the country to establish a government in exile in Yimmu-Audal, causing a diplomatic incident.
The UDSR, upset with the actions of Alexandervich, labeled him a traitor and terrorist. A Kill on Sight order was released to the UDSRhttps://discordapp.com/channels/1211502783866470420/1215455096758870066/1263588823569272995, which was later turned into an arrest warrant.https://discordapp.com/channels/1211502783866470420/1215455096758870066/1263927201947062272
Due to the uncertainty of Nasovyczas maintaining their land claim, many sought refuge in Novaterra until the revolution was over. The UDSR was prepared to go to war over the land, but a peaceful solution was found by the Nasovyczas government. Once the land claim was established, the UDSR paid for the nation claim, officially integrating Nasovyczas into the UDSR.
===The UDSR/DonFuer Diplomatic Conflict (28 VE - 29 VE)===
==== Background ====
Early in Nasovyczas' time in the UDSR, President Wiss made a visit to the country. While there, he spotted the country of Iranori, with a population of 3. Eager to expand the UDSR, he contacted the residents of the country to offer inclusion into the UDSR. What he did not know at the time, was that Iranori was a vassal state of Yimmu-Audal, one of the oldest civilizations in Stoneworks that borders Nasovyczas. Yimmu-Audal took this as an attempt at imperialism on their territory.
DonFuer was alarmed by the Nasovyczas Revolution, which led to the self-exile of Jacov Alexandervich, whom DonFuer sold the land to. They were also alarmed by UDSR expansion into Northern Talasi. Alexandervich and DonFuer had correspondence after the revolution, where Alexandervich accused the government of Nasovyczas of organizing a coup, which was false. Yimmu-Audal was also involved with the Nasovyczas Revolution, hosting Alexandervich's "government in exile" while Nasovyczas resolved the dispute internally.
Lenoria maintained good relations with the UDSR, but not with President Wiss. Allegedly, Wiss stole a large amount of gold worth over $20k that belonged to Lenoria. Wiss would also publicly talk negatively about Lenoria, despite having citizens who held dual citizenship with Lenoria.
==== Condemnation from DonFuer, Yimmu-Audal, and Lenoria ====
In Spring of 28 VE, DonFuer and Yimmu-Audal publicly denounced the UDSR, backing former Nasovyczas General Secretary, Jacov Alexandervich. Their list of demands include:
* The removal of USDR influence from the north of Talasi.
* The handover of the territory of Nasovyczas to a local government, and the return of Pandafan (Alexandervich) to that nation.
* The removal of the government of the nation of Nasovyczas of the following members
** Kaitlyn
** Red
** D1
** Jizzner
Lenoria also denounced the UDSR, with their only demand being the removal of UDSR President Jizzner.
The condemnations came to a shock to the Nasovyczas public and government, unaware of the UDSR's attempts to expand into Yimmu-Audal's vassels and UDSR President Jizzner's poor relations with other countries.
==== The Raiding of the UDSR ====
Shortly after the condemnation, DonFuer soldiers appeared in Novaterra and in Nasovycza. In Nasovycza, DonFuer, accompanied by Alexandervich, killed several civilians and forced people into their homes, demanding surrender or war. In Novaterra, they sent in troops who attacked and killed as many civilians as they could, whether they were armed or not.
==== President Wiss Resigns ====
During the crisis, President Wiss attempted to call a state of emergency, suspending elections and giving him absolute authority over the government. The Politburo and Congress grew angry with this decision, as it played into the narrative pushed by the opposition that Wiss was a dictator. Not wanting war with DonFuer, the government began to move forward with removing President Wiss.
The constitution of the UDSR at the time had no provision for impeaching officials from government, nor a way for any other branch of government except President to declare or end states of emergency. Representatives of Congress and members of the Politburo discussed many possibilities, from the Politburo itself voting for President Wiss's removal, to drafting amendments to allow for impeachment and ending states of emergency. Eventually they settled on the latter, and began drafting the amendments.
With the immense pressure from the Politburo, Congress and the populace against his emergency declaration, he ultimately backed down from the declaration and resigned, cursing the country. He would then steal $18,000 from the city funds and blocks of gold and dissolve the country claim before leaving the country. Premier Fin was quickly elected as Interim President until elections could be held, despite not being in the country at the time.
With his resignation, Lenoria backed out of the conflict, and one of DonFuer and Yimmu-Audal's demands were met.
==== Nasovyczas Leaves the UDSR ====
Behind the scenes, Workers Council Member Henry was working out a deal with DonFuer to release Nasovyczas from the UDSR. At the same time, Nasovyczas Cabinet Member D1 and General Secretary Leotray negotiated terms of vassalisation with the Yimmu-Audal. President Wiss' dissolving of the nation claim made the process easier, and Nasovyczas left the UDSR.
===The Dissolving of the UDSR===
==== Aftermath of the DonFuer Conflict ====
The Politburo and Congress began to reform the government as quickly as possible to avoid another Alexandervich/Wiss situation. The country began to undergo De-Wissification, which included the changing of the flag and debate on changing other national symbols, such as the Anthem.
Since Wiss had land ownership over Novaterra, people could not be added to the claim. This also meant that re-establishing the UDSR nation claim would be impossible. Construction of a new city began, in the event that Wiss never returns the claim to Novaterra.
==== The Presidential Election ====
General Secretary of the National Congress Joe Biden and UDSR Citizen Jones Posadsky were running for the presidency to replace Wiss. Joe Biden ran on a Democratic Socialist Campaign, while Jones Posadsky rejected Democracy and "Moderate" Socialism, wanting a form of Totalitarian Communalism. Despite their differences, both renounced the actions of Wiss. Unexpectedly, Wiss returned to the UDSR, attempting to apologize for his actions and to return the money, though not the gold since he claims those were his to begin with. He announced he would run for president, with a focus on domestic issues.
Former President Wiss' return sparked outrage in the citizenry and the Politburo, however, the Politburo decided that he should be allowed to run, attempting to remain in line with the UDSR's democratic principles. It was also decided that he would face a federal trial for his theft of national money, as well as potentially face international court for his alleged imperialist and dictatorial behaviors. Due to the severe backlash against Wiss' return, Wiss left the country again, this time for good.
Despite his departure, the citizens were angry with the government for even the suggestion of forgiving Wiss, causing a division between the people and the government.
==== Vladistan Visits and the UDSR Ends ====
During the Summer of 29 VE, in the midst of a presidential election, Vozhd of Vladistan, Mikhail Tiberian, arrived to Novaterra to propose annexation into Vladistan. During his address to the nation, he denounced Xeroism and the nation of Zilatra, calling the Xeroist movement a "paper tiger" and that Ziltara had no will to protect other socialist nations. 
Novaterrians, frustrated with the leadership of the UDSR government, began to split on ideological lines. Those who wanted to be a part of a strong, independent, socialist nation and those loyal to Former President Wiss joined Vladistan to create a new city within their country. Those who were supporters of Xeroism, embarassed by the actions of Former President Wiss and the condemnation from Ziltara, and angry at Vladistan for attempting to annex the UDSR joined the United Collectivist Republics of Krasnoi, founding the town called Novakrasny, which merged together with the republic of Vmeste to form Novavmeste.
Vostokchevnya decided to withdraw from the UDSR, becoming an independent state.
Novaterra was quickly abandoned and griefed, with anything valuable taken by the two factions. As of now, the capital city has been bought by the nation of Murim. The only building that remains on the main island is the capital building, vandalized, abandoned, and covered in overgrowth.
==Geography ==
The UDSR was split between two continents: Tiberia (formerly XXX) and Talasi. 
Novaterra existed on a floating island in a glacier biome in Eastern Tiberia. 
Nasovyczas is located on a peninsula in Northwest Talasi. The land is made of beaches, hills, and forests. 
Vostokchevnya is located on a floating island in a glacier biome in Southern Talasi. Unlike Novaterra, Vostokchevnya incorporates glaciers into its land.
