Tarestian People's Union

The Tarestian People's Union (TPU), colloquially known as Tarestia, was a country that spanned much of Andoladia from 1922 to 1991. A flagship communist state, it was nominally a federal union of six "Socialist Divisions of the Union" (SDU); in practice, both its government and its economy were highly centralized until its final years. It was a one-party state governed by the Tarestian Communist Party, with the city of Poptodia serving as its capital within the SDU of Tarestia-Wesburg. It was the second-largest country on the Andoladian continent, behind Gallitonia.
The country's roots were laid in the Resource War and the subsequent loss by the many nations of Andoladia. To prevent retaliation attacks, a decision was made to knit the nations bordering Rockland by land into one nation. The subsequent Tarestian Republic, named because it's capital was located in the Tarestian Kingdom, was a puppet state of Rockland. However, the government found it increasingly hard to govern, and before long crime syndicates began dominating national politics. A group of communist governors, disgruntled by the government's inactivity, overthrew the government, starting the Tarestian People's Union.
The TPU participated in the Great War on the Allied side, then in the Cold War on the Blostian side.
In 1988, one of the SDUs, Abdaristan, declared independence after rioters stormed the local Soviet building. The subsequent domino effect led to the West Andoladian Revolutions, which saw independence movements flare up across the country. To protect the interests of the main states, Secretary-General Pamo Benivol resigned and dissolved the union on September 16th, 1989. Tarestia-Wesburg is considered a rump state of the former union; on the other hand, East Tarestia and Middle Tarestia both gained independence.
