## Kyzeshnian History

Aamu stems from a troubled history, with the nation forming as the **Kyzeshnian Socialist Republic** (Not to be confused with **The Socialist Republic of Kyzeshina** which collapsed in September 2021) in 1922 after gaining independence from **Nordenland**.

The Nation joined forces with the **Volgan Federation** in 1925 to form **The Union of Northern Socialist Republics** which was a federation of multiple national republics which included **The Kyzeshnian Socialist Republics**.

The republic was ruled under a **Socialist Dictatorship** led by His Excellency Alexandr Ivanov until the liberation of **Shenkovysnygrad** in October 1991. Which saw the local UNSR government collapse and allied forces from **Nordenland** liberate the nation's government and swear in the first Democratic Leader of the nation.

The UNSR officially dissolved on **December 26th 1991** and formed **The Freedom State of Aamu** and **Volgan Federation**.

However in July 2020, the largely Kyzeshnian region of the same name broke away from the **Commonwealth of Aamu** illegally forming an unrecognized "Break-Away State" led by state Premier **Dmitry M**. The nation went on to form it's own government and military up until the split of the State in September 2021.

The split of **Kyzeshnia** saw Aamuan and Nordenlandic forces take control of the Eastern Portion of the nation to form **"The Free State of East Kyzeshnia",** however in response the West Kyzeshnian government set up a border barricade in the shared capital of **Shenkovynsygrad**.

On the **4th September 2021**, Premier **Dmitry M.** caused the collapse of the nation, whilst announcing the opening of the Border for citizens of both sides. The announcement was meant to be followed with the subsequent opening of the border the following Tuesday, however after stating to Nordenlandic press that the border should, "open immediately without delay" the border forces were stormed and the wall seperating **Shenkovynsygrad** was fallen signifying the end of the **Kyzeshnian Socialist Republics**.

Following the collapse, Aamuan Forces were sent to liberate the nation under Prime Minister **Magdalena Andersson** which saw a democratic local government be formed under the Stortinget. To this day, the region remains sovereign territory of **The Freedom State of Aamu.**

In October 2021, former Premier **Dmitry M.** was arrested by The Freedom State Military Police for "Crimes against the state" and sentenced to a flexible term of 30 years in state controlled prison. Following his arrest, **Vadim K.** was sworn in as Premier of a devolved socialist republic.

The Republic operated as a devolved nation within the sovereign confines of **The Freedom State of Aamu** under the name **The Socialist Republic of Kyzeshnia** from 2021 to 2022.

Following the **Allied Invasion of Kyzeshnia** the nation was split in two to form the **People's Socialist Republic of Kyzeshnia** under Volgan authority and **Federal Republic of Kyzeshnia** under the authority of Aamu and Nordenland.
