The Tengarian Republic (Tengarian: Тенгарска Република or Tengarska Republika), sometimes referred to as the Tengarian First Republic (Tengarian: Първа Тенгарска Република or Pŭrva Tengarska Republika) was a sovereign state in Western Euclea from 1935 to 1958. It was the successor state to the Empire of Tengaria and was eventually succeeded with a new constitution by the current state of Tengaria after the Tengarian Civil War. It was created in the aftermath of the Great War when Soravia forbade Emperor Dragomir III from returning to the country and forced the provisional government under Regent Simeon Kovachev to adopt a republican form of government. The resulting republic was largely a creation pro-Republican scholars and political figures, who adopted a new constitution by June 1935 and the Republic became officially in power the following November.
The First Republic was plagued by political instability and economic stagnation and decline for almost all of its existence. Political parties proved unable to gain decisive power, and were forced to result in unstable coalitions. Furthermore, every single government barring the first was a divided government, with the right-wing parties controlling the Senate and the left-wing parties controlling the Assembly and the Presidency. The divided legislature ensured that legislation could be stopped by the other house, with neither side having the numbers to override. Tengaria had gone into debt to repair the damages of the Great War, and no government was able to fix the economic problems on account of the partisan divides conclusively. In addition, the Tengarian National Army under Simeon Kovachev became a state within a state, and was known for maintaining its neutrality in political disputes, oftentimes against the express wishes of the Presidents.
The combined effects of political deadlock and economic downturn, as well as the failure of left-wing Presidents to provide economic reform, led to the increase of public resentment and protests against the Republic. This culminated in the elections of 1955, which saw the Dimitri Denov and anti-republican and pro-monarchist Restoration Party being elected to office with the first majority government in fifteen years. However, the election was claimed to be illegitimate by members of the left-wing parties in the incumbent government, including President Vladimir Vasilov, who believed that the Restorationists were enemies of the Republic and thus ought to be barred from holding office. They refused to give up their government posts to the newly elected officials, instead staging a protest by barring themselves in the Assembly Building and in the Presidential Mansion.
Kovachev marched army forces into Lenovo to oversee the transition, which resulted in the storming of the Assembly Building and a firefight at the Presidential Mansion. In the end, President Vasilov and the protesting politicians were all taken into military custody. However, this transition was quickly proclaimed as a coup d'état by major pro-Republican sources, and pro-leftist protests erupted all around the country. Soon after pro-leftist military officers staged their own coup, managing to assassinate President Denov and siezing the southeastern portion of the country. A Republican government in Avren declared People's Republic of Tengaria, proclaiming themselves to be the legitimate government of Tengaria. The Tengarian Civil War was in the government's favour, and saw the defeat of the Republican forces. At the end of the Civil War, Kovachev, who had taken over as head of state, authored a new constitution, creating the state of Tengaria in March of 1958.
The Tengarian Republic has a complex legacy. In Tengaria, the Republic is almost universally viewed as a failure, and is used by the propoganda of the Kovachev regime to see itself as a solution to the problems which the Republic faced. Many descendents of political exiles in the aftermath of the civil war view it as flawed but see it as better than the current state, and that it was legitmately succeeded by the brief-lived People's Republic of Tengaria. Anti-Kovachev activists still adopt the name "Republican" to this day. Outside of Tengaria, the general scholarly concensus is that the Republic was politically and economically a failed state, but that it was at least democratic, and that the end of the Tengarian Republic during the civil war marked the end of democracy in Tengaria.
