Silt Loam Republic

Formerly a part of the Loaman Empire, the Silt Loam Republic was founded by Jedediah Sloam at the end of the Shale Invasion. It was located east of the Loaman Empire and Nnukwu Ala, south of the Republic of Silty Clay Loam and west of Silt Fleet, and had a coastline on its north and south borders. The Silt Loam Republic was composed of three administrative divisions and fifteen districts.

## History

The Silt Loam Republic was created with the signing of the Recognission of Service to the South East at the Sunbell Conference on M2-11 437 ASB. The first president of the Silt Loam Republic was war hero Jedediah William Sloam.

On M5-19 440 ASB President Sloam had the army of the Silt Loam Republic occupy several regions within the Unspeakable Domain that he saw fit for annexation, the day after the Unspeakable Horror moved his own forces to attack, thus beginning the First Silt Loam Civil War. On M5-21 441 ASB the Governor of North Kire District made peace with the Unspeakable Horror and made a request for all forces from the North Kire District to return home, Sloam had the North Kire District expelled from the Silt Loam Republic only two days after resulting in the creation of the Republic of North Kire. The Guard District made peace with the Unspeakable Horror on M8-24 441 and was expelled from the Silt Loam Republic by Sloam and on the same day became the Guard's Republic. On M2-05 442 ASB the Western District made peace with the Unspeakable Horror and was removed from the Silt Loam Republic by Sloam and became the Western Republic. On M6-30 442 ASB the Kire District made peace with the Unspeakable Horror which Sloam had them expelled from the Silt Loam Republic for, creating the Republic of Kire. On M7-04 442 ASB the recently independent Nnukwu Ala invaded the now disconnected Sloam District and Peat Homeland, eleven days later Sloam made peace with the Unspeakable Horror, ceding him two peninsulas and recognizing his full independence from the Silt Loam Republic.

On M7-21 442 ASB President Sloam ordered an invasion of the newly created Republic of Kire, the other three newly formed republics of Silt Loam and Nnukwu Ala came to it's aid, thus begging what came to be known as the Second Silt Loam Civil War, three days after that the republics of Silt Loam merged together to form the Silt Loam Federation. On M11-14 443 ASB Sloam's doctor Ollie Davis declared him unfit to rule and decided that the Governor of the Loamith District Harry Miller would serve as interim president, Sloam was then confined to his quarters within the presidential building. Henry Miller immediately called a ceasefire and entered into negotiations with the Silt Loam Federation. On M11-26 443 ASB the Silt Loam Republic was absorbed into the Silt Loam Federation.

## Politics

The Silt Loam Republic was split into three administrative divisions: Unspeakable Domain to the north, Peat Homeland to the south, and Republic of Silt Loam. Although the three combined were considered to compose the Silt Loam Republic, it was only the Silt Loam Republic division that Jedediah Sloam controlled. Peat Homeland was a de facto protectorate of Silt Loam Republic and was self-governed, untouched by the modern world. The Unspeakable Domain remained feudal after the split with the Loaman Empire and was ruled by the Unspeakable Horror.

The Silt Loam Republic's official currency was the Silt Loaman Koruna (SLK), however the Loaman Solidus (LES) was still widely used throughout the Republic and exclusively in Unspeakable Holdings.

## Geography & culture

Due to its fertile soil, the Silt Loam Republic's main industry was agriculture. 82% of its population worked in agriculture and its main export was wheat.

The Silt Loam Republic had three main lakes. Its westernmost lake, Lake Hyalophorn, feeds the Kire River (west), the River Kampah (north) and the Mulya River (south-east). Lake Lanaur was an endorheic lake located east of the Kire River. It was the second largest river in the Silt Loam Republic but was extremely shallow and only filled with water sporadically, after periods of excessive rain. Within the Eastern District was Ceram Lake which, despite its biodiversity and strong fishing culture, had only one city, Laspir, on its shore.

Within their borders, the Unspeakable Domain, Silt Loam Republic and Peat Homeland held 5, 9 and 1 separate districts respectively.
