Bedu Republic

´The Bedu Republic, sometimes simply known as Bedu and formerly the Republic of the Bedu Islands is an insular sovereign country in south-eastern Sondria. It is located in the far northern part of the Pleasure Islands, a chain of insular countries that spreads from Bedu to Ishigaki. The country is made up of three large islands, Tsim Ka Sui, Shin Min and Betsing.
==History==
===Ancient times===
===Kaizhungese arrival===
In the middle of the 16th century, the Ming dynasty colonized what is now Kang Lai Island.
===Michillian control===
Kannong Island was annexed by the Michillian Empire in 1862. They threatened against the other colonists and proceeded to colonize the remaining territories under the auspices of the empire. Language resistance movements were founded in 1864, and in 1865 the empire recognized Bedu as the official language.
===Changing hands===
===Return to the Michillies and apartheid===
The issue with the Inchong base was solved in 1954 when the United States relinquished their control in favor of moving to Mariana. As compensation, the Michillies would retain complete control of the Bedu islands, who united the four colonies under the Combined Beduan Colonies, later renamed Bedu in 1959.
However, the influence from the Michillian mainland also affected Bedu, particularly the Eurectipherians living on the colony. Many of the Eurectipherians were Catholics and the native were either Buddhist or Taoist. The two ethnic groups were to spark a conflict and many pleaded for it to leave the Empire.
As the New Michillies left the empire and guided by anti-colonialist movements in Bulungi, Bedu became the strongest colony of the empire.
===Relinquishment and sovereignty===
The coup had aftershocks in the Beduan economy. In 1984, as the mainland government switched from Catholicism to secularity, Bedu entered a state of greater instability, largely due to the apartheid policies the colony established.
It was up to a group of 200 selected by the rebels to relinquish the control over the apartheid regime and to reduce the Catholic influences on the island.
In September 1984, talks were made with the Michillies over whether or not Bedu should leave the empire. This led to a referendum in November of the same year pleading for the separation of the colony from the Michillies. 64%, mostly natives, voted in favor. 22% voted against. The rest abstained, including a significant majority of Catholics who were skeptical about the future of Bedu.
The country had a four-year plan to become a sovereign country, and among the series of measures there was the plan of separating many companies from their Michillian counterparts. In October 1986, it was decided that the handover date was going to be February 28, 1987.
At midnight, a transfer of sovereignty ceremony was made between the Michillies and the new, sovereign Beduan government. Before midnight, the colonial flag went down while God Defend the Michillies was being played, and at midnight sharp, the Beduan anthem and flag played as a sign of sovereignty.
During the first ten years, Bedu still had some of the problems it faced in the past decades of its colonial history. The apartheid issue was solved, but the main issue was now the economy and its politics. The country entered into a crisis by ending relations with both Kaizhung and Xiaowan (at the time enemy countries) because Bedu adopted a unique style of capitalism that Xiaowan and Orience didn't adopt. The capitalism adopted was "people's capitalism" and was replicated by a few other companies the world over. Companies had an individual shareholders controlling stakes. This kind of economy was later flawed, as by the early 90s many shareholders did not get their shares. They all protested against the government's style of capitalism and demanded the adoption of capitalism. The Sondrian Financial Crisis of the late 90s aggravated the problem further, and in 2000, the country adopted a capitalist system and structure similar to Orience, Aoshi and Lenapore.
The pandemic brought forth whistleblowing and conspiring towards the PRK, who were condemned with countless charges of stonewall denialism and cultural assimilation, and relations between the two were cut. In 2021, numbers of immigrants from Hang Peng reached Beduan shores.
