The Taoyuanese Provisional Government, formally known as the Provisional Government of the Republic of Taoyuan was a partially, later on, fully recognised Taoyuanese government-in-exile based in Insomnia, United Kingdom.

A month after Taoyuan's fall, Taoyuanese nationalists fled to the UK and declared Taoyuan's independence from Quenmin. The declaration was backed by the Lucian Government, who wanted to slowly legalise the Taoyuanese government, given the stream of Taoyuanese civilians who fled to Lucian territories and realms. A constitution was enacted on 25 April 1925, creating the "Republic of Taoyuan". It was joined by many Taoyuanese policians from the Free Quenminese Government, which the latter recognising Taoyuanese independence. It introduced a Federal Parliament of government, similar to those found in Lucian realms. The TPG inherited the territory of Taoyuan. Taoyuanese refugees and resisters actively supported the new government and receiving economic and military support from the UK, Gallia-Bruhl, and the Erebonian Empire.

Although the Free Quenminese Government was the Allied-aligned Quenminese force during the Second Europan War, the Taoyuanese Provisional Government sent troops overseas, fighting in Zemuria, Middle East, and in Asianna. The 1940 Alexandria Conference declared Taoyuan as a major power in Asianna, and decreed that independence must be granted by Quenmin.

Following the end of the war, the Federation of Quenmin ruled over the Quenminese realm. The government was prepared to grant Taoyuan's complete independence until in early 1947, when the Allied Occupational Government of Quenmin reintroduced the Constitutional Monarchy into the country, thus ending the Allied government. The new Quenminese government refused to abide with the Alexandria Conference, and pushed for Taoyuan remaining under Quenminese control. This caused outrage in Taoyuan, whose people wanted its independence.

The Taoyuanese Independence Protests of 1947 began after the rigged victory of the Pro-Quenmin votes in the 1947 Independence Referendum. This sparked the final string that would lead to the Taoyuanese Civil War, in which Taoyuanese military forces and rebels fought against the Quenminese government ruling over Taoyuan. The civil war was a victory for the Taoyuanese after forced pressure from the Allied powers on Quenmin to grant independence to Taoyuan. Taoyuan was eventually declared fully independent from Quenmin, establishing the Federal Republic of Taoyuan.

The sites of the Provisional Government in Insomnia and Manchester have been preserved as museums.
