SR Sulur-Mantisu

The **Socialist Republic of Sulur-Mantisu**, commonly known as **SR Sulur-Mantisu** or **Sulur-Mantisu**, is a constituent republic of the Samara Union. It is located east of Kamyin, north of Tismenoko, south of Durubi, and borders the Samaran Sea. It was established based on the 1965 Census by the Provisional Committee of Nations along with its ruling party, the Communist Party of Sulur-Mantisu.

## Brief History

Modern-day Sulur-Mantisu was fully integrated into the Kamyinese Empire by 1870. After the coup by the Darmir Society and the subsequent start of the Samaran Civil War, the Eastern Suluri & Mantisi People's Revolutionary Front began combatting consolidation efforts by the Kamyinese Liberation Army. The ESMPRF joined forces with other groups under the International People's Movement in 1942 and its efforts were decisive in the KLA's inability to enforce the Tezmet line for much of the war. Following the defeat of the United Independence Front, the IPM was able to gain serious momentum and managed to bring an end to the KLA in 1964.

Later that year, the ESMPRF was dissolved in favor of the Eastern People's Council, which was quickly renamed to the Communist Party of the Eastern Samara. Given the historical cooperation of both the Suluri and Mantisi, former leader of the ESMPRF, Colonel Sugade, proposed a unitary Sulur-Mantisu socialist republic. His bid intrigued Marshall Talun, who saw to his position in the Provisional Committee of Nations, which decided on the borders of the Sulur-Mantisu state following the 1965 Census. That year, the Socialist Republic of Sulur-Mantisu was established, along with two designated autonomous provinces within the unitary state.

### Talun & Kroza eras

In 1965, SR Sulur-Mantisu had a literacy rate of 12% and a high infant mortality rate. Crime ravaged the nation. Most of the SR was agrarian despite its few industrial centers. Sugade, a half-Suluri and half-Mantisi revolutionary, devoted Serovist, and ally of Talun, was appointed president in 1965. Under his administration, the literacy rate rose to 85% by 1980 and the infant mortality rate was brought down extremely low, even by global standards. During the Anti-Rightist Campaign, public opponents of Sugade's administration and Talun's regime were persecuted and oftentimes sent to forced labor camps. A brief uprising in Ingaba started in 1972 after the Autonomous Provincial Administration of Ingaba implemented more hardline Talunist policies. The uprising was crushed by the Revolutionary Army in about a week.

Sugade died in 1980. Following his death, President Migesh was appointed president. His administration introduced a series of agricultural reforms throughout the 80s. Kroza's reforms in the 90s complimented his policies well, and he went on to designate four special economic zones. As of today, Sulur-Mantisu has eight special economic zones, and is led by President Arayja.

## Autonomous Provinces

While the Socialist Republic of Sulur-Mantisu is a unitary state according to the 1995 Constitution, it has two designated Autonomous Provinces, which govern their own cultural affairs and maintain more traditional hierarchical structures.
