The **State of Tedesu** or or more commonly referred to as **North Tedesu** is an unrecognized country that situates inside of the United Republic of Tedesu. The country declared its independence on the 15th of October 2023 after taking over the North Region of Tedesu the previous day and then annexing it the following day. The country consists of around 116,760 people according to the 2023 Tedusian Census but that number may be in conflict due to the current war that is ongoing in Tedesu.

## History

On the 9th of September 2023, a terrorist group called the Brotherhood of Tedesu declared war on the Tedusian government. The brotherhood quickly took over key city regions and swamped the northern countryside. By the 14th of October, the Brotherhood of Tedesu had managed to completely overtake the entire North Region of Tedesu. This event led to the Brotherhood deciding to form a nation after a lengthy discussion on the night of the 14th of October. In the early morning of the 15th of October 2023, a member of the Brotherhood called Antonio Santiago, declared the annexation of the North Region under the newly formed country called the State of Tedesu. Antonio Santiago also announced that he would become the President of North Tedesu

The declaration of the nation was a shock to the media and the pacific countries. The President of Sheaman, Robbie Twen, reacted to the declaration by saying; "I do not believe that this statement will hold true in the eyes of those terrorists. The President of Tedesu is Mr. Chris O'Reilly and that will not change. This Antonio Santiago is not Tedesu's president and never will be." Other reactions from the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Dissau, President of the United Republic of Tedesu, and First Minister of the Shean Republic, have all given similar and much longer statements but Robbie Twen was the first to respond. President of the United Republic of Tedesu, Chris O'Reilly, responded to the situation on the 17th of October 2023 by refusing to accept that there is two Tedesu's and that there was only one.

Antonio Santiago was inaugurated as President of the State of Tedesu on the 20th of October 2023. The inauguration included a recorded video of the inauguration that was later posted onto the government's website on the 22nd of October.

## Government

Along with the establishment of the nation and the appointment and inauguration of President, Antonio Santiago, the Government of the State of Tedesu was formed. The government was established on the 20th of October alongside the inauguration of President, Antonio Santiago, and the legislative body of the nation, called the National Assembly, opened on the 1st of November 2023. The Presidential Cabinet was also be formed as well on the 1st of November by Antonio Santiago.
