Gonzales' Rise to Power

On March 10th, 1947, the LeMonde Administration reached a compromise with the Malorian Popular Front, allowing Veronique LeMonde to step out of power and for Evan Gonzales to lead the Malorian Islands under a socialist government. To celebrate his accomplishment as President of the Republic of the Malorian Islands, he changed the name of the country to the People's Federal Republic of the Malorian Islands in an effort to legitimize his rule. This also meant changing the position of the head of state of the Malorian Islands from President to General Secretary of the Worker's Party.

Foreign Relations of the PFRMI

Under the rule of General Secretary Evan Gonzales, the Malorian Islands shifted its foreign relations from its western allies of the United States and the United Kingdom to the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact to reflect its commitment to the ideas of both world communism and Joseph Stalin's adaptation of the ideology of Marxism-Leninism. General Secretary Gonzales also gave foreign aid and support to the Communist Party of China and the Irish Republican Army whilst in office. In 1950, at the start of the Korean War, Gonzales officially had his government recognize and send aid to North Korea as part of his doctrine of "keeping friends close" in order to have an effective relationship with any nation that leaned anywhere close to the Soviet satellite of power.

Socialism in the Malorian Islands

Under the guise of the Worker's Party of the Malorian Islands, Gonzales implemented social reforms including the re-distribution of wealth, land reform, and the nationalization of the sugar and banana industries. Gonzales also implemented economic reforms to significantly change the economy from a purely agricultural to a mostly industrial economy. While these reforms were mostly successful, the way that Gonzales and the socialist government implemented these reforms was through strict quotas and a ideal plan for a Five Year Plan (from 1947 to 1952). These strict quotas made Gonzales and his government unpopular through time but any dissent or rumors of an uprising were quickly stomped out through the Comite Populaire Des Affaires Nationales et d'Etat (People's Committee on State and National Affairs; CPDANE), the political police of the Malorian Islands during the Gonzales Era.

The Malorian Islands were supported and propped up by the Soviet MGB and the East German Ministry for State Security in order to make the Malorianese secret police effective against any form of dissent towards the Marxist-Leninist regime. While as head of state, Gonzales began to develop a cult of personality around himself. He did this by glorifying the deeds of his pre-revolutionary activities as a humble socialist and leftist writer as well as skewing the media to have a strictly improved view of Gonzales. This was done by having any dissident journalists either imprisoned, assassinated clandestinely through the CPDANE, or just outright executed publicly.

Downfall of the People's Federal Republic of the Malorian Islands

By 1953, things were not going in Gonzales' favor. Stalin had died earlier in the year with his replacement being a less than favorable successor in the eyes of Gonzales, with Soviet and East German support withdrawn a week after Stalin's death. Gonzales had attempted to gather support from the People's Republic of Albania, only for it to fall through as Enver Hoxha did not see Gonzales as a "pure Marxist-Leninist", which resulted in the CPDANE weakining significantly due to a lack of support from the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic. Seeing an opportunity, the United States reached out to Quentin Farcoise indirectly through CIA liason Richard Bryson.

Farcoise, a Major within the Malorianese People's Army and pretender to the House of Bourbon, was annoyed with the current socialist government. Bryson and Farcoise secretly created a plan to overthrow the socialist government in favor of a dictatorship with US backing and recognition. On May 1st, 1953, Quentin Farcoise and three other military officers led the 51st Armored Tank Battalion, the 21st Infantry Battalion, and the Erich Mielke Special Regiment toward the Republican Parliament. Forcing Gonzales out of power, Gonzales surrendered to Farcoise's forces and fled the Malorian Islands to the People's Republic of Bulgaria, where he stayed in exile until his death in 1981.
