Brief Information
The Grand Republic of Serrukan, often referred to as Serrukan is a Republic in the south of Eldham, located on the continents of Serrona, Onthukhan and Leifmyrr. It is made up of the states of Oceanum, Batu, and Shakumagu. The Head of the Republic is the Lord Consul, while it elects its Head of Executive, the Prime Director and Secretary Prime Director, and the Senate every month, with each province appointing each Senator to the Senate.

Annexation into AWE
During the late FSS, there were many issues across the federation, a sudden decline in population and growing inactivity was spreading across all the cities, despite pleas for help to the federal government, there wasn’t a single attempt to curb the problem, and the governors tried to fix the situation only to continue failing. This decline in population eventually started affecting the army, even then the federal government was stale, only observing the situation. It only continued to grow worse, seeing this weakness, Eleanor through their proxy group the “Hands” decided to press old issues about the city of Horizonte, with rumors about them potentially invading. The federal government finally reacted, but in an unexpected way, fearing the war and inactivity in the nation, the federal government asked to join the AWE, of course they accepted and the federation got integrated in the AWE as the provinces of Batu, Shakumagu, and Oceanum- collectively referred to as Serrukan.

This was a surprise for the citizens of Serrukan, as no one was consulted about their opinion, however most people didn’t had reasons to oppose the integration into the AWE. As a part of the process, most of the Southern Stars government mysteriously disappeared, with only Francis Regulus and Con Allevatori remaining in public life and with high government positions inside the AWE. Also, all the war equipment was transferred to AWE arsenals, over a million worth of armor, weapons and pots. At first, it seemed like good things were on the horizon, with the AWE promising “help” to the eastern provinces (Oceanum, Batu and Shakumagu) but it was never specified what it was, or when it was going to be received. The larger empire had just ended their war against Atlechia, with that, all government attention and resources went there. After that, the AWE supported a rebellion in the neighboring Razuni Sultanate, with all promises of help delayed once again.

Despite not being recognized by the AWE, after the annexation Serrukan developed their own independent government, being careful of not opposing the empire but maintaining all the sovereignty possible, this was necessary, as the provinces of Serrukan remained in a state of total abandonment and neglect from the central government until the rebellion was on the horizon. Most of the citizens didn’t had negative feelings towards the AWE, but as time passed many realized there also weren't any benefits. Kythnos began suffering constant raids, with the AWE refusing to do anything about the situation, raiders were free to sow chaos in the city on an almost daily basis, after several denials from the central government to provide the citizens with equipment for self defense, a homegrown arms industry began to develop. Meanwhile in the halls of the AWE senate, bills continued to be approved, pushing for an even greater centralization; this began with the AWE slowly removing mayors from Serrukan towns and replacing them with useless bureaucrats controlled by them and a law to remove governors, all this spread discontent amongst the Serrukan government. The inflexion point was the war against Eros, using the AWE controlled Serrukan town of Prosede as a base to continue their military conquests. By this point Lord Consul Francis Regulus had enough, despite being granted a government position he began organizing a rebellion to gain independence. After getting international support, Serrukan officially seceded from the AWE, siding with Eros in the war against imperialism. Immediately the AWE started hit and run attacks in Serrukan cities and threatened to raze every rebellious city and town; this had the opposite effect, with a public outrage against the AWE and a boost in support for the rebellion. Nations like Sethris and Ashai got involved in the war, decisively defeating the AWE at the second battle of Stigenbrige, the AWE high council saw no reason to continue the empire any further and dissolved it, officially making Serrukan an independent nation.

The Imperial Republic
Following the Great Clone War, The Imperial Republic of Serrukan would spend the majority of its time dealing with AWE remnant forces in Shamania and Danubia in an attempt to unite the region. Serrukan though, was far from a united nation, as events later on would show.

Upon reclaiming all Oceanumite, Batu, and Shakumagi land from rebels, squatters, and neutral parties the Lord Consul Francis turned his attention to the nation of Nova Azcoria for a multitude of reasons. The first of which was former Chancellor Con Allevatori’s actions in the great war as an AWE general and his threats to demolish Serrukan’s cities, and the second of which was that Nova Azcoria had allegedly been supporting rebels. Two key demands were made, the first of which was that Nova Azcoria be indefinitely occupied by coalition forces and pay reparations of $2,000,000 for Con’s actions. The Azcorians would blatantly reject all demands and purposely stall negotiations, resulting in Serrukan mobilizing its army and moving to war, however, the city of Kythnos and its affiliates who were sympathetic to the Azcorians would threaten to rebel if the war went through. This critical division in the government would spell disaster for the Lord Consul’s plans.

Interim Southern Stars
Following the breakdown of negotiations with Nova Azcoria for the exile of Con, Wissam VII would re-emerge in Serrukan and begin attempting to take these talks into his own hands, meeting with the leaders of both nations unofficially to resolve the conflict. During this time, Francis would lose a great deal of his popularity among the mayors of Serrukan, leading to an ultimatum towards Francis being developed in secret, passing around mayors and gathering signatures from mayors across the nation. This would culminate in Wissam, with support of the mayors who signed the ultimatum, would convince Lord Consul Francis to step down and hand him the title of Lord Consul.

Wissam would then aim to start the “2 Year Interregnum” (8 days in real life time), where he would attempt to undo issues that were sprouting during Serrukan, revive the old Southern Stars and restore the Republic (modeled after the one he made during his terms as Prime Director), and, most importantly, resolve the peace with Nova Azcoria. His aim was to host democratic elections by the end of the 2 year period, to line up with the traditional election date for the Grand Republic of Oceanum (the 28th). He would make it several seasons into his coup, implementing several reforms and beginning to draft a new constitution for the Interim Southern Stars. Several seasons after his coup started, Wissam would successfully broker a peace between the newly reformed Southern Stars and the state of Nova Azcoria.

It was when all was seeming to once again look up for the nation when disaster struck. On an afternoon when the various government officials of the nation were working on the new Constitution, AWE remnant forces, led by Crusader, would successfully seize the Oceanum capital, Hyperion, additionally seizing most government assets that could not be destroyed in time for the coup. Crusader and his allies would claim that their objective was to restore republicanism in Oceanum. This coup attempt, while not destroying the Southern Stars government, would severely destabilize it, leading to several more regions rebelling.
