The Republic of Eshein
Alternate universe thing I'm doing

The People's Republic of Eshein emerged from the ashes of a brutal war of independence against the oppressive monarchic empire across the sea, known as the Kingdom of Brannkland. For years, the people of Eshein had suffered under the yoke of colonial rule, exploited for their resources and treated as second-class citizens. But they had always harbored a fierce spirit of independence, which was finally unleashed in the aftermath of the devastating Great Lumirian War. Led by the visionary Orlin Fedoruk, a young revolutionary who had emerged as the voice of the people during the war, the Esheinian forces fought a long and bloody struggle against the Brannklandic oppressors. Orlin was a man of great intelligence, charisma, and strategic acumen, who had managed to unite the disparate factions of the independence movement under a common banner of socialism. Unlike many of his peers in the international socialist movement, Orlin was a staunch nationalist who believed in the primacy of the Esheinian people and their unique cultural identity. He had developed his own ideology of socialism, which he called "Esheinian Socialism," that rejected the rigid dogma of Radzinskism-Leninism and instead emphasized a more socially moderate and pragmatic approach to building a socialist society. After four long years of fighting, the Esheinian forces finally emerged victorious, and the People's Republic of Eshein was born. Orlin became the first democratically elected leader of the new republic, and he immediately set about implementing his vision of a federal semi-direct democratic republic, where power was held by empowered worker councils and other grassroots organizations. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, the people of Eshein were optimistic about their future. They were proud of their hard-won independence and eager to build a new society that reflected their values and aspirations. The hills and mountains to the north provided a natural defense against external threats, while the sea to the south, which they called the "Silver Sea," offered opportunities for trade and commerce. Relations with their neighbors were mixed, however. The Vanguardist Republic of Deakoa to the north was a close ally and trading partner, but the Kingdom of Kardovia to the east, which had funded their war for independence, was viewed with suspicion and caution. Nevertheless, Orlin remained steadfast in his commitment to building a strong, independent, and democratic socialist republic in the heart of Lumiria.
