Interim Government of Istanbul

The Interim Government of Istanbul (Turkish: İstanbul Geçici Hükumeti) or more commonly known as Istanbul is a country situated between two continents, holding immense power over trade in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. The Interim Government was established because of the collapse of the previous government. It borders the Emirate of Thrace to the west, Adapazarı to the east and Gölcük to the southeast.
In the wake of the nuclear devastation of 2022, the world has transformed into a patchwork of struggling civilizations. Amid this chaotic landscape, the Government of Istanbul has risen as one of the most powerful entities in the Mediterranean. Situated strategically across two continents and centered around Turkey's largest city, Istanbul has leveraged its unique position to become a significant player in post-nuclear geopolitics and trade.
Quickly forming a united and centralized government, the Government of Istanbul has managed to stabilize and thrive in an otherwise fractured region. While not strictly Kemalist, this government still upholds the core policies and doctrines of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, ensuring a semblance of continuity and modern secularism that he envisioned for Turkey.
To the south, the enclaves and authorities established by the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) in Çanakkale and İzmit pose both an opportunity and a challenge. The Government of Istanbul maintains good relations with these military governments, recognizing their mutual interest in maintaining stability and security in the region. However, it also strives to keep its economy and political sphere independent from the military influence, balancing cooperation with autonomy.
The government of Istanbul navigates this delicate balance with a pragmatic approach, fostering trade and diplomatic ties across the Mediterranean. Its influence extends through robust economic policies, a centralized administrative framework, and strategic alliances. As the world continues to rebuild from the ashes of nuclear war, Istanbul stands as a beacon of resilience and progress, charting a course towards a hopeful future in the midst of trade and economics.
