The Miersan Socialist Federation (Miersan: Mierska federacja socjalistyczna), also known as East Miersa (Miersan: Mierska Wschodnia), is a sovereign state in central Euclea, comprising the eastern portion of the historical nation of Miersa. It is bordered by Kantemosha and Kirenia to the north, by Aimilia and Gaullica to the east, and Champania to the south. To the west, it is bordered by West Miersa, though like its western counterpart, East Miersa claims to be the legitimate government of the entire Miersan nation. The country has an area of 197,568 km² (76,281 sq mi) and a population of 21.7 million. The capital city is Żobrodź and the government is seated in Dynsk, the largest city.

Miersa was first inhabited by the early Marolevs in the late classical period, as the Solarian Empire expanded into the Miersan hinterlands. Although not conquered by Solaria, the Solarians left a definite legacy in the region. The three first significant Miersan states were known as the Three Crowns. The leading kingdom in East Miersa was Wybrzeże, which was later united with Zachódnia and Firencja by Romuald the Bold in 1257. The The kingdom would be a pivotal player in central Euclea expanding into modern day Vedmed, Kirenia, Gaullica and Champania. Much of its land was religiously and ethnically diverse although political power was rooted in the east of the kingdom. In 1623 the king died without issue, leading to the Miersan Interregnum and the rise of the Miersan Republic. The Republic would be short-lived, with the monarchs of Gaullica and Kirenia both claiming the Miersan throne causing the War of the Miersan Succession. The war ended in 1638 put an end to the Interregnum, with a kingdom being recreated. Land in what is now East Miersa was annexed into Gaullica. The Gaullicans began to expand influence and annex more territory, establishing a strong presence. This resulted in the Miersan elite becoming Soraviophilic.

The end of the Ten Years’ War would lead to a second partition. Soravia annexed much of the territory in the west and a rump state was left. In 1790, a final partition during the Euclean Revolutionary Wars was performed. On the pretense of preventing a republic revolution in Miersa was fully annexed between Soravia and Gaullica. The remaining eastern regions of the rump state were fully annexed into Gaullica. During the period of the final partition the east under Gaullican rule would industrialize while the west remained undeveloped and agricultural. Pan-Marolevic efforts in the west were frustrated by the Catholic faith of the Miersans whilst in the east ethnic differences between Gaullicans and Miersans would end any attempt of a pan-Catholic identity.

The Great War resulted in the end of Gaullican rule over East Miersa and gave way to socialist partisans, who established control over much of the region with the support of Kirenia. These insurgents also estblished a presnse in Soravian administered lands in the west. A unified Miersan republic was planned but the strength of socialist partisans would force the imposition of the Godfredson Plan which divided Miersa between a socialist east and authoritarian west.

The Miersan Socialist Federation was established in 1936. With support from Kirenia, the east began to recover from the Great War and establish itself as a socialist economy. From the late 1930s to the 1960s, the east began to expand its standard of living and increase the wealth of its population. Power was concentrated around key individuals, who built grassroots power-bases centered around geography, personality, connections, and in some instances bribery. The defining figure during this period was Stanisław Jabłoński, who served as President of the Presidium and First Secretary of the Miersan Working People’s Party (Ludowa Partia Pracy) from 1938 to 1962. He dominated politics in the east and held significant power. He faced little serious opposition during his tenure and has at times been classified as an autocrat. He stepped aside due to health challenges, creating a power vacuum that the east’s grassroots oriented political system struggled to fill immediately. In 1967, Bolesław Rakowski established himself as the central personality in the east’s politics. The east continued to develop, though faced some economic stagnation in the 1970s. Rakowski stepped away in 1978 after a series of corruption scandals shook confidence in his leadership.

The collapse of Soravia led to the 1980-1981 Miersan War. The east attempted to annex the west but were unprepared for the conflict and after a few months were bogged down. A ceasefire was signed with the east annexing the Ziarnokosz region and crucially the old capital of Żobrodź.

The East emerged from the war in a relatively strong position, signifying that they were not merely as client of Kirenia as had been understood by many outside of the socialist world. However, the failure to fully defeat and integrate the west in addition to changing economic circumstances led to a political shift. The east began to move away from “strongman” politics. The LPP was disbanded and politics became non-partisan, with coalitions forming around various causes, mostly centered around ideology, approach, and personality. Organized, national political clubs, organizing groups, and mass organizations are among the leading political entities, however, this system is fairly informal compared to party politics in the past and in many other countries.

Today, East Miersa is a federal constitutionally socialist council republic, operating a socialist economy, with a nominal GDP per capita of $25,884. The current President of the Presidium is Iwo Kłosek. East Miersa is often considered a middle power in central Euclea, maintaining close ties to Kirenia. East Miersa is a member of the Community of Nations, the ITO, the OMS, the Mutual Assistance Organisation and AIS. It is an observer of the ASN.
