'''South Kabu''' ({{wpl|Javanese language|Kabuese}}: ''Kabupik Kidul''), officially the '''Socialist Republic of Kabu''' ({{wpl|Javanese language|Kabuese}}: ''Republik Sosialis Wong Kabupik'') also known as the '''RSK''', is a country in [[Southeast Coius]] constituting the southern part of the [[Kabu Archipelago]]. The country shares a maritime border with [[North Kabu]] across the strait of TBD. Like it's Northern counterpart South Kabu claims the entirety of the Kabu Archipelago and the overseas territories of [[Kingsport]] and [[Nouvel Anglet]] of [[Estmere]] and [[Gaullica]] respectively. It has an area of 44,154km2 (17,048 sq mi) and a population of 7,841,984. The capital city of South Kabu is [[Ayukarta]] which is also the largest city in the Kabuese archipelago.

The country shares a maritime border with [[North Kabu]] across the strait of TBD. Like it's Northern counterpart South Kabu claims the entirety of the Kabu Archipelago and the overseas territories of [[Kingsport]] and [[Nouvel Anglet]] of [[Estmere]] and [[Gaullica]] respectively. It has an area of 44,154km<sup>2</sup> (17,048 sq mi) and a population of 7,841,984. The capital city of South Kabu is [[Kutha Pamungkas]] which is also the largest city in the Kabuese archipelago.


The first human settlers arrived in what is now South Kabu at around 500AD. The earliest evidence of human settlements come from [[Tanah Yuwana|Yuwana]]. Primarily these settlements were found on the coast or inland near {{wpl|Paddy fields}} and {{wpl|Terrace (earthworks)|Rice terraces}} which are prominent to this day in South Kabu. Through trade and contact with [[Dezevau]] the [[Badi]] religion was spread across the Kabu Archipelago becoming the dominant religion in the archipelago influencing centuries of Kabuese culture. Various Kabuese Kingdoms and states existed throughout Kabuese history, the most prominent is the [[Kingdom of Kabu]] which existed from XXXX to XXXX and was governed from TBD. The [[Aguda Empire]] established control over the Kabuese archipelago to control the expanding Spice Trade in the area. As a result of the growing spice trade the city of [[Sulapangan]] was ceded to the Estmerish TBD (East India Company) as a trading port for primarily spices. The company's influence grew over the Aguda eventually allowing the company to gain a monopoly on the Spice Trade in the Kabu archipelago. The Carolinian Islands colony was officially created in 1797 with the Colonial administration being based in [[Ayukarta]]. Estmerish rule over the archipelago continued almost uninterrupted until the outbreak of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] when Gaullica invaded and occupied the colony. Following the invasion the Gaullican administration on the islands promised the natives independence if Gaullica won the war leading to a surge in anti-Estmerish and pro-independence sentiment on the islands. Following the war, various pro-independence anti-colonial militias were set up. The largest in the South was the [[National Liberation Front of Kabu]] which was a {{wpl|Socialism|Socialist}} group which desired an independent, socialist Kabu similar to [[Kirenia]]. Tensions between the Socialists and Nationalists led to the beginning of the [[Kabu Civil War]] between the Socialists and Nationalists eventually culminating in a stalemate and a ceasefire under the Treaty of X. Following the war, militia leader [[Sutikno Harjo]] was elected President. Sutikno was assassinated in 1984 leading to the beginning of the [[Negara Darurat]] which still continues until today. In 2022 President [[Tirto Sutikno]] and the army used emergency powers to remove hardline elements of the government in a [[2021 South Kabuese coup d'état|coup d'état]].
The southern portions of the Kabuese Archipelago have experienced continuous human inhabitation since approximately 432CE according to existing records and archaeological evidence of {{wpl|Rice|rice farming}} and human civilisation on [[Gedhe]]. During the 9th century the [[Kingdom of Agunglintang]] was influential in spreading [[Badi|Badist]] beliefs across the south of the archipelago through trade with [[Dezevau]]. The archipelago was unified under several kingdoms at various points in it's history although was finally conquered by the [[Aguda Empire]] in [[Agudan conquest of Kabu|1558]] who centralised power in the newly created city of [[Kutha Pamungkas|Vinhumavizia]]. The islands became particularly important to the global spice trade and were an important trading hub in the [[Brown Sea]]. The islands were eventually sold to the [[Kingdom of Estmere]] after the purchase of [[Kingsport|Pulau Hujung]] in 1778 and were consolidated into the [[Colony of the Carolinian Islands|Carolinian Islands Colony]] with the administrative centre of the colony being in Kutha Pamungkas.
 
Estmerish rule in the south collapsed in 1941 when [[Tirto Sutikno]] declared the Socialist Republic of Kabu (RSK), officially beginning the [[Kabu Civil War]]. Much of the south's rural and administrative centres [[Battle of Kutha Pamungkas|including the capital]] were seized quickly by the [[Kabuese Section of the Workers' International]] (BKMI) aligned soldiers. The war ended in a {{wpl|Stalemate|stalemate}} between the Southern government and the [[North Kabu|Kabu Republic]] dividing the archipelago in two. The newly formed RSK was isolated from the non-councilist international community and faced severe economic problems owing to it's strict {{wpl|Planned economy|planned economy}} and isolation. The country experienced major political and social upheaval in and began the gradual transition to a [[Dalan Anyar|semi-democratic system]] in 1978. The country's international isolation was ended in 1991 when the southern government was admitted to the [[Community of Nations]]. Since then South Kabu has experienced a period of considerable economic growth. Since 2020 the country has [[Dalan Dewanis|begun to adopt]] a fully-[[Council republic|councilist]] system of government.


Today, South Kabu is seen as a developing country with a high HDI and low income inequality due to the Socialist economic system in the country which has been in place since the Kabu civil war. South Kabu has a fast growing economy although development has slowed slightly in recent years. South Kabu faces severe problems with {{wpl|Poverty}}, {{wpl|Corruption}} and ethnic tensions between the Kabuese Majority and the various minorities in the country. South Kabu is a member of the [[Association for International Socialism]]; the [[Brown Sea Community]]; the country has also established Diplomatic relations with numerous countries.

* Authoritarian consolidation of power by the Kabuenom faction
The Kabu War was devastating to South Kabu. X% of the entire South Kabuese population died in the war and Ayukarta was devastated by initial fighting and subsequent skirmishes and sabotage attempts. Sutikno Harjo was subsequently elected as President of the Socialist Republic of Kabu in 1948 and was influential in writing the country's constitution which claimed to be the constitution of the entire Kabuese Archipelago. In 1952, Sutikno Harjo formalised South Kabu's claims on Nouvel Anglet and Kingsport.
* Long protracted insurgency with anti-communists
 
* Attempted coup against [[Sutikno Harjo]]
In 1958, [[Masioran league for Democracy|Masioran separatists]] launched a series of attacks against government with covert aid from North Kabu. The [[1958 South Kabuese bombings|attacks]] led to the deaths of several high ranking officials including the Premier. In response to this the province of [[Masiora]] was placed under martial law and a crackdown on civil liberties began in the area. The South Kabuese government was accused of ethnic cleansing by Masioran activists and members of the international community after forcefully expelling Masiorans and destroying several Masioran villages.
* [[1968 South Kabuese student protests]] and crushing of the opposition
 
* [[Assassination of Sutikno Harjo]] and [[1970 South Kabuese coup d'état]]
Further crackdowns on Masiorans began in 1969 after the murder of a civil servant in [[Kutha Harjo]]. The resulting crackdown resulted in the deaths of over 1000 Masiorans within two weeks, the mass campaign of arrests and executions was ended after condemnation from the international community. The crackdowns did little to quell the violence in Masiora and support for the Masioran league for Democracy (LMKD) grew at a rapid pace. The LMKD was banned in 1970 and it's leaders either went into exile or were arrested and executed.

In 1984, a Masioran student shot and [[Assassination of Sutikno Harjo|killed Sutikno Harjo]]. The student was detained shortly afterwards trying to flee Ayukarta and was executed without a trial. Sutikno Harjo's assassination caused a period of political chaos within South Kabu. In 1986 an [[1986 South Kabuese coup d'état attempt|attempted coup]] left 132 dead and resulted in widespread purges of the armed forces and specifically the navy. As a result of the attempted coup d'état and the assassination of Sutikno Harjo a [[Negara Darurat|state of emergency]] was declared. Freedom of speech and expression were suspended indefinitely and thousands were arrested after a spy-ring was uncovered within the Foreign Affairs department.
* Reproachment with North
 
* [[1986 South Kabuese coup d'état attempt]]
As a result of the mass arrests and crackdown on civil liberties, militant members of the LMKD and anti-BKMI groups formed an alliance and started launching [[Insurgency in South Kabu|attacks against the government]]. As of 2020 the insurgency has cost the lives of over 12,000 people.
* Suryo steps down & reformists seize power
 
* Party infighting and failure to deal with insurgency or implement a councilist government
In 2017 the South Kabuese government began to liberalise and certain parts of the Negara Darurat were ended. President [[Tirto Sutikno]] vowed to end the Negara Darurat in 2021 but was met with opposition from hardline factions among the BKMI. A planned referendum on ending the Negara Darurat was blocked by Premier [[Susilo Dwi]] who accused the President of listening to counter-revolutionaries in the government. The disagreements between Tirto and Susilo led to the [[2021 South Kabuese coup d'état]] in which Susilo was killed and Tirto assumed emergency powers

According to a [[Community of Nations|CN]] report published in 2013 says "Human rights in the Socialist Republic of Kabu are poor compared to it's counterparts in the Brown Sea area. There are reports confirmed by investigators of torture, kidnapping, forced disappearances and politically motivated murders that were conducted between 1950 and largely subsided in 1994.

South Kabu (Kabuese: Kabupik Kidul), officially the Socialist Republic of Kabu (Kabuese: Republik Sosialis Wong Kabupik) also known as the RSK, is a country in Southeast Coius constituting the southern part of the Kabuese Archipelago. The country shares a maritime border with North Kabu across the strait of TBD. Like it's Northern counterpart South Kabu claims the entirety of the Kabu Archipelago and the overseas territories of Kingsport and Nouvel Anglet of Estmere and Gaullica respectively. It has an area of 44,154km2 (17,048 sq mi) and a population of 7,841,984. The capital city of South Kabu is Kutha Pamungkas which is also the largest city in the Kabuese archipelago.

The southern portions of the Kabuese Archipelago have experienced continuous human inhabitation since approximately 432CE according to existing records and archaeological evidence of rice farming and human civilisation on Gedhe. During the 9th century the Kingdom of Agunglintang was influential in spreading Badist beliefs across the south of the archipelago through trade with Dezevau. The archipelago was unified under several kingdoms at various points in it's history although was finally conquered by the Aguda Empire in 1558 who centralised power in the newly created city of Vinhumavizia. The islands became particularly important to the global spice trade and were an important trading hub in the Brown Sea. The islands were eventually sold to the Kingdom of Estmere after the purchase of Pulau Hujung in 1778 and were consolidated into the Carolinian Islands Colony with the administrative centre of the colony being in Kutha Pamungkas.

Estmerish rule in the south collapsed in 1941 when Tirto Sutikno declared the Socialist Republic of Kabu (RSK), officially beginning the Kabu Civil War. Much of the south's rural and administrative centres including the capital were seized quickly by the Kabuese Section of the Workers' International (BKMI) aligned soldiers. The war ended in a stalemate between the Southern government and the Kabu Republic dividing the archipelago in two. The newly formed RSK was isolated from the non-councilist international community and faced severe economic problems owing to it's strict planned economy and isolation.

Government and Politics

President Tirto Sutikno
Premier Eko Dhimas

South Kabu is a Unitary non-partisan socialist semi-presidential republic. Prior to 2022 the Kabuese Section of the Workers' International (BKMI) is the sole legal party in South Kabu. The BKMI was the dominant and governing party of South Kabu since the end of the Kabu civil war. Since 1985, South Kabu has liberalised some aspects of it's government however the party retains it's grasp on South Kabuese political society. As of 2020, close to 15% of eligible voters in South Kabu are registered members of the party. Since 2022 the party has not ran candidates in the Congress of Kabu and has effectively ceased being a political party in favour of being a political organisation in South Kabu.

The President is the head of state of the country and has executive powers and is the commander in chief of the South Kabuese military. The President of South Kabu is elected democratically every 5 years, there is no constitutional limit to how many terms a President can serve. Since the declaration of the Negara Darurat the office of President has been granted near dictatorial powers over South Kabu's government with the ability to dissolve parliament, remove government officials and the ability to veto bills. The President of South Kabu is also immune from prosecution whilst in office and becomes a Senator for life upon leaving office.

The Premier of South Kabu is the head of government of South Kabu and is appointed by the Congress of Kabu. The Premier represents South Kabu in foreign affairs and legislative affairs.

The Congress of Kabu (Kongres Kabupik) is the unicameral state legislature of South Kabu composed of 115 directly elected members. It was first elected in 2022 to replace the old partisan legislature and is a non-partisan body.

Human rights

Eko Slamet was arrested, tortured and murdered in 2004 after speaking out against the government

According to a CN report published in 2013 says "Human rights in the Socialist Republic of Kabu are poor compared to it's counterparts in the Brown Sea area. There are reports confirmed by investigators of torture, kidnapping, forced disappearances and politically motivated murders that were conducted between 1950 and largely subsided in 1994. Despite this human rights abuses particularly in Masiora and in areas affected by the ongoing insurgency are extremely poor and reports of war crimes conducted by fighters in the area have been investigated." It is estimated that over 8,000 people were abducted and killed by security services between 1962 and 1993. In 2004, activist Eko Slamet was abducted at Kutha Pamungkas Airport before being tortured for several days and then murdered before his body was found off the coast of Kutha Pamungkas. South Kabu officially denies any state involvement in the death of Eko Slamet and blamed the murder on organised criminals.

Serious allegations of war crimes in Masiora and north-eastern Walantaka were confirmed by the CN in 2018 including rape, mass murder and the usage of child soldiers by anti-government militias and the Kabuese People's Armed Forces. On 17 October 2021 the CN released a report that "expressed serious concern at the rapidly declining human rights situation in Masiora which is being blockaded by government forces." A CN expert also warned of a devastating famine orchestrated by the South Kabuese government to starve the militias was likely if the international community did not act within months.
