Republic of San Magnolia

**San Magnolia**, officially the **Republic of San Mangolia**, was formerly a *de jure* unitary presidential constitutional republic and *de facto* quasi-aristocratic oligarchy that was invaded by the Triumvirate, which learned of the atrocities committed by the Albans.

## Overview

The Republic of San Magnolia was a *de jure* unitary presidential constitutional republic and *de facto* quasi-aristocratic oligarchy that once existed prior to the events and Triumvirate's invasion of RY 368/SY 2149/Eon-U 5SB142. Known for its placing of non-Alba Coloratas into internment camps and use of them as human pilots for the M1A4 Juggernaut mechas, it has also engaged in propaganda to deceive the grand majority of the nation, making the Albans ungrateful, arrogant and stubborn in accepting reality and the truth - a mistake they made when the Triumvirate came knocking on its door.

Average and decent in technological advancements but inferior in comparison to its neighbors, this left San Magnolia at a completely overwhelming disadvantage when the Triumvirate invasion forces' aerospace combat wings launched air sorties against the nation, bombing numerous government buildings, commercial and industrial sectors, infrastructure, communications buildings, radar stations, warehouses and storehouses to destabilize the nation itself; during this time, Triumvirate reconnaissance flights entered San Magnolian space to discover . Triumvirate ground forces landed at seven locations and held them with the intent of allowing additional ground units to deploy while defending them from San Magnolian ground forces, who suffered heavy casualties due to inadequate technologies.

By the time San Magnolia launched another series of assaults against the already-enlarged bridgeheads, Triumvirate forces launched Operation Magnolia's Epitath, a blitzkrieg campaign which saw San Magnolian forces suffering immense casualties: many San Magnolians were killed, wounded and/or captured while a few Albans and many Coloratas defected to Triumvirate forces and aided them, but the most damning of all is the defection of the Eighty-Sixth Strike Package who realized the republic its members served had been ignorant, arrogant and whatnot. The invasion lasted for three weeks, ending in victory for the Triumvirate.

With this victory came the occupation of San Magnolia, later followed three days later by the Triumvirate occupational authority's dissolution of the Republic of San Magnolia as a nation and lastly the establishment of the Triumvirate Provisional Government of San Magnolia, a Triumvirate military mandate.

### Politics

The Republic of San Magnolia operates under a Liberal Democratic regime, which was a cover to hide its Authoritarian Democratic (Oligarchic/National Conservative), Despotist (Aristocratic Conservative) and National Socialist (Idiosyncratic National Socialist) ideologies.

The Republic of San Magnolia secretly operates under a Despotist (Aristocratic Conservative) regime, consisting of descendants of aristocratic families who survived a bloody democratic revolution and held the true power over the nation itself. Despite seeing itself as a free and open country, San Magnolia is racist towards the so-called "Colorata" and, through the quasi-aristocratic oligarchy's manipulations and own invented reality, spread propaganda about the war having no casualties in spite of the mechas being piloted by Colorata humans.

This ultimately served as a justification for the Triumvirate to invade San Magnolia, who is unprepared due to its arrogance and being behind in technological advancements, especially in the military. As a result, Triumvirate forces smashed San Magnolia, exposed the lies spewed out by the aristocrats and eventually destroyed the nation as a sovereign entity, to be replaced by a military mandate.
