* 108;2E

The **Southambian United Republic** or simply known as **Southambia** was the republican government of Southambia from 46FE to the 25 New Star 108;2E, and was governed by the Federal Constitution of Southambia. The RUS was headed by the Magistrate of Southambia, who served as both the head of state and government. At it's establishment, the RUS didn't have a legislature, however, near the end of Carlos Da Le Kaerda's fourth term, the Republican Diet was formed. Not longer after it's formation, it was dissolved and replaced by the National Council, which served as Southambia's legislature until the 107;2E Constitutional Convention, and Southambia's subsequent transition to monarchy.

For most of its existence, Southambia was politically and economically stable, however protests leading up to the kick-off of the First Southambian Civil War would see the political and economic situation of Southambia collapse as Loyalist revolutionaries seized control of the capital city, Tabrad, and overthrew the democratically elected Magistrate Volodymyr Puotiin. Leonard Godsforth would oversee the reconstruction of Southambia after he was elected in the 86;2E Magistracy Election, and later inaugurated on the 20th of Beginnings the following year. Godsforth transitioned Southambia back from a reactionary autocracy to a liberal democracy once again. However, after the departure of Godsforth as Magistrate, the Forward! bloc in the National Council would gain popularity, and would eventually receive enough support to pass the Constitution Act of 107;2E, which would lead to the formation of the 107;2E Constitutional Convention, and Southambia's transition to monarchy.

## History

### Transition from Tribalism to Democracy

Carlos Da Le Kaerda was elected as the 4th Magistrate of Southambia in Ending Earth 39FE. He was re-elected in Ending Earth 44FE, and 2 years later, would declare the formation of the Southambian United Republic. Near the end of his term, Carlos would form the Republican Diet to help assist future Magistrate for the following 15 years, though it would only serve for 5 of those years before being replaced by the National Council in 62FE. The National Council was established by referendum and would be elected consecutively with the Magistrate.

### Influence of Skolar Vasary on Southambia

Skolar Vasary would be elected as the 9th Magistrate of Southambia in Ending Earth 11;2E. Vasary would attempt to transition Southambia into an autocratic state with him as it's sole leader, however, he would be unseated by Leonard Karter in the 21;2E Magistracy Election, after serving 2 terms. Vasary would continue to be active in politics after his loss however but would be assassinated on the 23rd of Old Earth 30;2E. Vasary's influence on Southambian politics saw him become a martyr to his followers, who would become politically active in Stotford, where Vasary was born.

### Political Uncertainty and Assemblies

Southambia would eventually see itself become politically unstable in the middle of the Second Era. Richard Nickson would become known as the catalyst for the political instability of the late Second Era, as his magistracy would see the rise of Loyalist groups like Providence, and later the National Salvation Group and The Answer.
