Auzance (Autuzian: Ôtuzance), officially the Republic of Auzance (Autuzian: Republique Ôtuzance), is a sovereign state in central Euclea. The nation shares land borders with Valduvia to the north, Gaullica to the east and East Miersa to the west. Auzance's capital, and largest city, is Cestiène. Auzance is the nth most populous state in Euclea with a population of 14,000,000, and its nth largest state, spanning 60,000km². Auzance also borders unknown lake to its south; this coastline harbours a significant portion of Auzance's population and urban regions, including its capital.
Auzance has been a socialist state governed as a federal council republic since soon after its declaration of independence in 1933, especially since the 1948 coup d'état. Auzance is a semi-presidential republic, with a high level of separation of powers; its head of state has been Chancellor, Houbêrt Louxhî, since 2019, while its head of government has been Prime Minister Catrene Burnot since 2019. The legislature, the Tchambe, is scrutinised by the Constitution (Mwaisse Lwè), which is upheld by the High Court (Hôt-Cour). The nation, having been a de jure council democracy since its inception, democratised rapidly in the 1970s; this has enabled it to gain a status in recent decades as being highly democratic, scoring highly on civil rights indices.
Auzance initially comprised of a lot of proto-Autuzian city-states who remained in consistent contact around the modern region of Auzance, however the rise of the Solarian Empire brought it under occupation intermittently from the early 5th century until soon before the fall of the Empire as a part of the province of Gaullica. Gaullican independence resulted in the Autuzian Marches (li Frontire Ôtuzien), whereby the fragmented feudal states of Auzance received a varying level of influence from Gaullica. Following the 15th century, the Autuzian Marches were annexed into the wider Gaullican state, and remained there for several centuries, resulting in a small but significant migration of what would become the Gaullican aristocratic class, and moderate use of Gaullican (into a dialect known as Auzance Gaullican). The region industrialised rapidly in the 19th century, resulting in the Spring (Potchî) and rural-urban migration.
Following the onset of the Great Collapse in the 1910s, the Gaullican regime's turn to national functionalism led to a harsh rule on Auzance; this persecution of regional culture and economic malaise all became known as "the Sadness" (li tristèsse). Social unrest, initially quelled in the first rise of Gaullican national functionalism, slowly began to rise; by the middle of 1933, Auzance's resistance movement was centralised and had gained control of significant regions, having been radicalised by decades of suppression. The decline of Gaullica's wartime situation precipitated an initially brutal, but eventually rather short war for independence, in which Auzance gained its independence by the summer of 1934. The government, at first a broadchurch from the centre to far-left, centralised its control under the far-left Authoritarians (Otoritaires), under the leadership of Remy Warnot; the councilist authoritarian republic to its north, Valduvia, effectively occupied the state in this time.
Warnot's regime, initially focused on "defunctionalisation", and a general transition towards a mostly-democratic councilist republic, deteriorated into the 1940s; the growing authoritarianism of the Warnot government, enabled by the lack of constitutional controls to prevent its actions, resulted in a return of perennial unrest.

History
Prehistoric Auzance
In the centuries prior to its amalgamation into the Solarian Empire in the 5th century, Auzance was inhabited by a web of agricultural societies, mostly city-states. The Three Roads, two spanning the coastlines of the lakes, and one going inland to the north, became the region's most prosperous and mercantile corridors, and much of Auzance's urbanisation has since occurred along similar regions.
Solarian occupation
Auzance was occupied during the 5th century CE, and merged into the Gaullican region.
Autuzian Marches
Auzance found itself a part of the Gaullican sphere of influence quickly, becoming an expanse of fragmented feudal marches known as li Frontire (the Frontier) in Autuzian. Kings of Gaullica exerted varying levels of influence and control over these marches, and Autuzian diverged from Gaullican during these centuries.
Gaullican Auzance
By the 15th century, Gaullica had occupied Auzance directly, and Auzance became a region of Gaullica proper.
