The Republic of Gandun

### INTRODUCTION

The Republic of Gandun is an authoritarian republic that abandoned the severe monarchical regime from which it comes, to establish with its adherents an order that allows them to elect their representatives without consequences.

It has a presidential regime in which the president of the republic is voted for and he appoints ministers, judges, customs directors, part of Congress and the heads of the armed forces. The mayors are also elected, who are in charge of the administration of the cities.

The Republic of Gandun is member of Valley Alliance, Global Assembly of Neuwelt, Markevan Global Trade Pact, Star Union and Guild of Data.

### HISTORY

In the year 151, the founding group of Gandunians chose the path of exile to escape repression and violence against activist groups that promoted turning the monarchy of the Kingdom of Casonia into a republic based on the values of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Failing to prevail over the population loyal to the empire, a civil war broke out that ended up decimating the republicans.

After political defeat and persecution by the empire, they decided to escape to the decadent nation of Autogen to support the formation of a republican government, but the nation disintegrated for good before the republicans took action.

Then they decided to wander through the Tawawaku Valley, until they settled at the confluence of 3 rivers. Near the ruins of Brasfield they founded the village of Tascurg, which would become the capital of Gandun.

Through the years, the village of Tascurg managed to survive the dangers of the no man's land, sustain its own economy, create alliances with the natives, and open trade routes with nearby nations.

   In order to eliminate dangers on trade routes, the ruins of ancient nations were occupied as lookout and supply posts, which later became Tascurg's satellite villages.

Trade and the growing industry of the capital made it a flourishing port and commercial city that attracted both natives and foreigners looking for opportunities.

In the year 287 the 13 provinces of the Republic were created, each one with its capital. This event consolidated the status and sovereignty in their territories and settlements. Later, due to the expansion towards the south and the Glass Sea, 3 other provinces were created.

### SOCIETY

Gandun, which was made up of exiles from an empire, mixed elements of their original language with that of the natives, which became the official language of the entire country. There are other local languages, but they are in the minority. Each province of Gandun has its cultural variants, according to its ethnic and geographical composition.

The society is highly stratified, made up of large industrialists, small merchants, state officials, and the natives who are engaged in agricultural and precarious activities. According to its origins, the republican system predominates, with more conservative movements and other more progressive ones. There is an evident separation between the founders and the natives, as well as discrimination against migrants who have arrived from other nations.

There is a conflict between the Republic and the native tribes for the territorial expansion of Gandun, the construction of mines, factories, power plants and railways, which displace the original villages.

Progressively, the nation has incorporated groups from various nations, which have enriched the nation's scientific and technological capital. They have provided cheap labor, professionals, academics, and new businesses. The founders became the new aristocratic class.
