History

Arkadii-Zokesia Federation

Main article: Arkadii-Zokesia

Civil War 2089 - 2099

Main article: San Miguel and Salvación

After Grail's alleged genocide against minorities in Arkadii-Zokesia, the federation broke apart. Out of the previously Bastian lands, Pedro Rosario Cruz founded the Free Democratic Republic of San Miguel and Salvación. This was a one-man dictatorhip police state that did not give citizens basic information rights. After anti-Cruz propaganda was dropped by Nuvalkan patriots, San Miguelian citizens protested and formed a new democratic government, the New Republic of San Miguel-Suelto. The new RSS was anti-Cruz and anti-Surnay, and secretly participated in the "Anti-Surnay Taskforce." The AST declared war on Surnay, subsequently putting RSS at war. Much of the San Miguelian military still supported the former Cruz regime, and defected. After a civil war, the RSS split into the Free Democratic Republic and the New Republic, separated by the Jesús Line. Later on, a second civil war sparked after supporters of democracy and Bastian nationalists caused unrest. The Bastian faction won and reinstated the nation of Bastia.

República Bastia 2099 -

After the Second San Miguelian Civil War, Bastian nationalists took over the government and instated a presidential democracy. The popular General Fernando Miñelet was made interim President of Bastia until 2105, when the first general elections were held.


Reformation under Sahrland-Bastia 2144-2197

Main Article: Sahrland-Bastia

The republic of Bastia was reformed from Nuvastian lands after the Sahren Civil War and was integrated into the commonwealth of Sahrland-Bastia. A period of peace and relative Bastian political dominance continued for this entire period. The Treaty of Phoezi was renegotiated in 2148 and resulted in the western region of wardia becoming a Zokesian federal republic, the southern region of Nuvastia becoming independant, and Upper Bastia remaining the sole territory of Bastia.

Although this period saw a growing economy and new infrastructure developements, the government became more and more centralised and authoritarian to hold on to the delicate political balance keeping Bastia and Sahrland held together in the commonwealth. Serra Cisao was elected in 2195 and began a period of reforms largely oriented against authoritarianism and toward a system of local autonomy. Worries about these reforms in the military high command along with the SRGIA caused the Aughtafael coup, which although failed, increased tensions and resulted in the death of Serra Cisao. Less than a year later both Bastia and Sahr left the commonwealth, and it was dissolved.
