Prozhnian People's Republic

About
The Prozhnian People's Republic (aka. Prozhnia) was a Federal Marxist-Leninist one-party directorial parliamentary socialist republic located in Mesothemia, bordering the Union of Ruralia and the Union of Orchrestran in the Eastern Bloc. Currently, in late 1989, the communist government in Prozhnia is suffering from a collapse as it recently began their transition into a democratic government, including a series of demonstrations and civil unrest following the massacres which occurred in the country. It was formerly an ally of the People's Republic of Crimsonia and their capital city is Droiyan.

History
"NOTICE: The history of Prozhnia will be only limited from the 1900s until present day, as a result, it will not cover their background."Prior to 1914, Prozhnia was a governorate within Orchrestran, after surrounding countries such as Ruralia proposed the partition of the country. After Prozhnia was conquered by Orchrestran, the empire began reigning terror over the Prozhnians, and forced the Prozhnian language to use the Cyrillic alphabet instead of the normal alphabet they had been using, the Prozhnian language was also banned from public schools in the governorate, and Prozhnian culture was nearly eradicated and it would be on the brink of being completely assimilated. Many rebellions occurred in the region in opposition, but most of them were crushed. It all changed, when Orchrestran had begun to rapidly industrialize, and the economy was going stable, however it would abruptly change as the First Great War occurred.

In early 1917 before the revolution occurred in Orchrestran, all of Prozhnia was occupied by Ruralian troops and the governorate was officially dismantled, the Ruralian monarchy proposed a plan to create an independent state which would be ruled by Prozhnians and it would be economically dependent on Ruralia, and the Kingdom of Prozhnia was established after an agreement was signed between the Ruralian king and Prozhnian officials. The Ruralian monarchy then selected a new king from the Ruralian royal family to rule the country. In weeks following the formation of the state, Prozhnia was renamed the Kingdom of Droiyan, named after the capital city of Prozhnia. In late 1917, the Orchrestran Revolution occurred, which marked the end of the Eastern Front in Mesothemia.

In the year of 1918, the Ruralians lost the First Great War, and they were forced to sign a treaty which marked the end of the 4 year conflict. Weeks after the end of the First Great War, Ruralian troops began their complete withdrawal from their occupied territories and puppet states, including Prozhnia, and as a result, Eastern Mesothemia collapsed into several states, the Prozhnian puppet government then officially proclaimed their independence, and overthrew the king in a coup d'etat, ending the short kingdom. It would then be immediately recognized by allied forces and several other countries.

After Prozhnia gained independence, it was then forced to fight in the civil war, as it had to deal with the remaining Ruralian remnant forces, the Prozhnian opposition, which attempted to restore the kingdom, and Orchrestran, which had now been under control by communists after a brutal civil war occurred. However, Prozhnia managed to fight back using many of the Prozhnian legionist forces and as a result Prozhnian independence was later on secured in the end. Prior to the 1940s, Prozhnia was an independent democratic state which had risen from the First Great War, and prospered along with many other post-war nations in the interwar period, however, as the late 1920s reached, the Great Depression began, affecting the entire economy including Prozhnia. As a result, a fascist and militarist party known as the Gronya rose as a dominant political party in Prozhnia, however, along with several other countries, they were overthrown by a coup d'etat and they were banned, and the Gronya was banned from the country.

In mid 1938, as a result of tensions, Ruralia sent an ultimatium to Prozhnia, demanding the immediate handover of territory lost in the previous war, reparations, and the lifting of the ban on the Gronya, however, the Prozhnian government declined, and in the process deployed thousands of troops to the Ruralian border in anticipation for war, and after Ruralia expanded its territories in 1939, it formally declared war on Prozhnia, and as a result it swept through their vast territories. The Prozhnian government immediately asked the League of Nations for help, and in the process Mongravia and other allied forces joined the war and declared war on Ruralia, marking the beginning of the Second Great War, Prozhnia then surrendered after heavy months of fighting and Ruralia emerged victorious in the war, and it would later on sign an agreement with Orchrestran to partition Eastern Mesothemia.

During the Ruralian occupation of Prozhnia, over a thousand Jews were deported and sent to concentration camps, and over a thousand people were brutally oppressed by the government, the capital, Drolyan, was divided into the settler and ghetto zones, and in 1942, Prozhnian resistance began spreading across the country, and in 1943, the autonomy within the puppet government of Prozhnia was eradicated and the entire Prozhnia was annexed into Ruralia, the following year, Ruralia began its efforts to eradicate nearly every city in occupied Prozhnia, and with the help of engineers destroyed the city of Drolyan. In 1944, it was liberated by Orchrestranian troops, and the post-war occupation would begin.

Post-war occupation
In 1945, the Second Great War in Mesothemia had officially ended, and during the post-war occupation, Prozhnia's borders were later on completely redrawn, giving parts of territory from occupied Ruralia and forcing Prozhnia to cede territories in West Prozhnia and give up their western claims. After the border treaties went into effect, thousands of Ruralians were deported into occupied Ruralia and thousands of Prozhnians in West Prozhnia were then deported into Prozhnia, where they were forced to repopulate many of the former Ruralian communities. In 1947, the Union of Orchrestran then formally withdrew all of its troops from Prozhnia, although they still continued to have an influence, in preparation of a new Prozhnian state.

Prozhnian Republic
In 1948, the Third Prozhnian Republic was declared, becoming a sovereign state once again after years of occupation, however, it didn't continue, as in 1949, nearly a year after the democratic government was established, a coup d'etat occurred which was funded by Orchrestran, which officially marked the beginning of a communist state in Prozhnia, this would also effectively cut them off completely from the rest of the world and it would mark the beginning of Prozhnia in the Eastern Bloc.

Cold War
In 1949, the Cold War officially began, as relations between the Union of Orchrestran and the United States of Megaton and Columbia had turned bitter, this resulted in the several establishments of several communist states, such as Prozhnia. After the coup d'etat, Orchrestranian troops attempted to stop demonstrations on the streets, which later turned violent after a massacre had occured. The following day, the Prozhnian People's Republic was officially declared, however, some claim that the Prozhnian People's Republic was established sometime in 1950 before the Sidanian-Ruralian War.
