Appalachian Republic

== Appalachian Republic ==
The Appalachian Republic is a post-American splinter state that was created after the two-year gap that Seaboard occupied Pennsylvania. After the First Battle of Harrisburg, the Harrisburg Committee was dissolved and proved to be largely ineffective at large-scale coordination.
A Presidential parliamentary republic, the Appalachian government was modeled after that of the United States Government, with an executive and legislative branch. The first president to be elected was Republican Elaine Cocklin.
Once the Appalachian resistance had stormed back through territory that was previously part of the Harrisburg Committee, little stood between them and the final stretch to reclaim Harrisburg. On the 5th of December, 2021, two months after victory was declared at the Second Battle of Harrisburg, the Republic was formed.
On 20 May 2025, the Albany Accords were signed between Jonathan Sisk and Elaine Cocklin. The Appalachian president used executive action to agree without the legislative vote. With the agreement, Cocklin consented to all Appalachian counties being integrated into Seaboard. The state of Pennsylvania would go on to become a Seaboard territory. The Accords were highly ineffective, though, since the command structure of Appalachia rendered half of the counties in the state becoming independent. With little integrity, the Confederate States of America were able to dispatch a relatively small detachment and capture Harrisburg on 3 June 2025.
The Appalachian Republic was never fully integrated again, and dissolved over the next year until its territories were split between Seaboard and the Confederate States.
