Following the 1968 ceasefire, the Workers' Movement was changed to the Democratic People's Rally. Ratsimanjava, who acted upon an imperial mandate that was reluctantly given to him by Alaatki, officially dissolved the imperial government in favor of Democratic T'kampa ("a democracy advanced beyond the form of a republic").

From 1973 to 1977, rural industry was dramatically expanded and terraforming projects were subsidized across the country.

East T'kampa, officially Democratic T'kampa, is a country in northeastern Muambia. It constitutes the eastern half of T'kampa and borders X to its south and West T'kampa to its west along the T'kampan Demilitarized Zone. East T'kampa, like its counterpart, claims to be the sole legitimate government of all of T'kampa. The capital is the ancient city of Awaso and the largest city is Markium, which is also the largest city in all of T'kampa.
In 1955, republican forces consolidated the western portion of T'kampa and declared the Republic of T'kampa, which immediately put them at odds with the imperial government. Loyalist forces managed to reverse eastward advances from republican forces by 1957. In 1959, the World Congress intervened in the civil war and enforced the first stalemate, which the emperor blamed for the continued division of the country. The imperial government was overthrown by the collectivist Workers' Movement led by Rakase Ratsimanjava in 1964, the regime of which breached the "peace line" (demilitarized zone) established by the World Congress in an attempt to gain control of Markium. This resulted in World Congress forces siding with West T'kampa, directly intervening with tens of thousands of volunteers in addition to logistical support. By 1968, another stalemate was reached, and both sides agreed to give control of Markium to East T'kampa, partially because the demilitarized zone was as a result much shorter, and thus, easier to maintain. This stalemate has remained up until now.

Ratsimanjava, who acted upon an imperial mandate that was reluctantly given to him by Alaatki, officially dissolved the imperial government in favor of Democratic T'kampa ("a democracy advanced beyond the form of a republic").

East T'kampa is a unitary one-party collectivist state led by the DPR, which adheres to the state philosophy of Manandara. It began to embrace trade with capitalist countries in 1991. In 2001, it tested its first nuclear weapon and created a space program, launching a satellite eight years later in 2009. It is a founding member of the T'kampa Community, formed in 1994 along with West T'kampa. It has been a World Congress member since 1994.
