Southambian Partisans

### Flag

The **Southambian Partisan Republic** (*Proto-Luari*: *Respublica Partesans Southambian*), commonly known as the **Southambian Partisans**, was an anti-monarchist and pro-republican movement active from 709CE to 726CE during the fall of ancient Southambia. The Partisan Republic was established by influential republican statesmen Franciscus Caelinus, Iosephus Marcellinus, Agorastocles Eclectus, and Demaenetus Laetinius. Unlike it's counterpart, the Ruangesia Republic, the Partisan Republic was more established having a more organised structure of government and popular support throughout Southambia.

**Southambian Partisans**, commonly known as the **Partisans**, and officially known as the **Southambian Partisan Republic** was an anti-monarchy group formed during the fall of Ancient Southambia. The group was established sometime in early to mid 709CE, and would be dissolved following it's defeat in the city of Tabrad, following it's failed attempt to take over the remnants of the Southambian monarchy. A majority of the Partisans would join the Tabradians, who claimed to be the true successors to the land of Ruangesia. Eventually the Tabradians would take over the remnants of the Southambian monarchy and the government, effectively ending the 74-year long period of chaos, and causing the end of Southambia.

## History

### Formation

The Southambian Partisan Republic was formed sometime in the year 709CE by revolutionaries in the Southambian Kingdom. The goal of the Partisans was to form a universally democratically-elected republic that was not bound to any monarchy, or hierarchy. The Partisans were first led by Frobertus Abram who served as it's leader from 709CE to 715CE. It would then be led by Giso Lothar from 715CE to 720CE. It would ultimately dissolve under the leadership of Gaudulfus Engilbert, who served as it's final leader from 720CE to 726CE.

### Dissolution

The Partisans would dissolve sometime in 726CE under the leadership of Gaudulfus Engilbert, who was the Partisan's 3rd and ultimately final leader. Most of the Partisans would team up with the Tabradians, who would ultimately become victiourious in securing the city of Tabrad, dissolving Southambia until it's reunification in 965CE.

## Structure

### Leadership

The leader of the Southambian Partisans was known as the "Leader of the Revolution".

### Congress

The partisans had established a Congress which had only convened 5 times in the entirety of the Partisan's existence. The Congress had consisted of 25 voting members, and 50 non-voting members. The presiding officer of the Congress was known as the "President of the Congress". During it's existence, it had seen 13 edicts be passed, and 3 be rejected. Only 5 of the edicts were ever fully enforced by the Partisans. During the Congress's existence, it had only seen one true election, which was held in 715CE when Giso Lothar was elected the Leader of the Revolution.

### Constitution

The Partisans had never established a legitimate constitution, however one of the first edicts passed by the Congress detailed what is effectively a constitution. This edict laid out the government structure, the rights and liberties of man, and the lands and claims of the Partisan Republic. It also detailed elections, and universal suffrage, universal equality for both men and women and people of all races, and the abolition of servitude. Though never officially called a constitution, it was referred as such by members of the Partisans. Attempts to officially formalise it was the constitution for the Partisan Republic were made, but none were never successful.
