The United Bahian Republic was a confederation in Bahia which existed from 1954 to 1969. Comprised of the entirety of present-day Garambura, Rwizikuru, Tabora, and Djedet as well as parts of present-day Mabifia, it was intended as a political union between Rwizikuru, Tabora, and Djedet with the intention of inviting other Bahian states to join.
While it was initially a success, as the institutions of the United Bahian Republic were established, which helped increased cooperation between its member states, the United Bahian Republic was beset with a number of issues, namely foreign policy and whether member states have a right to express their own foreign policy independent of the United Bahian Republic, and what were the official languages of the United Bahian Republic.
(TBC)
History
Formation
seizure of the Bahian bits of the Adunis to Mambiza Railway by coalition of Bahian nations (Rwizikuru, Djedet, and Tabora) is a huge boon for Pan-Bahianism, people demand formation of UBR, politicians agree to do so
Heyday
tensions arise over languages, and foreign policy and role of both the UBR government and member states, but UBR somewhat functions effectively enough to limp along, beginnings of centralization and unification of military, joins Congress of Bahian States as the UBR, freedom of movement between members, but probably plenty of issues. Mukoma is designated capital of the UBR, construction takes place, yeah
Decline
Tabora leaves after Izibongo Ngonidzashe crowns himself King, Djedet severs diplomatic relations with Rwizikuru but UBR still exists because of railway: language issue and diplomatic issues still plague the UBR, final straw in 1969 when Rwizikuru, sick of debates over Badawiyan becoming an official language threatens Djedet that if they keep it up, Beheiran's being removed, and then when Garambura declares independence, Djedet leaves the UBR, so it's gone
Government
The United Bahian Republic was headed by a collective leadership, with the Presidents of the United Bahian Republic being designated as such due to their positions as being the country's leaders. This was organised so that no one person had too much power within the United Bahian Republic.
The legislature of the United Bahian Republic was the Bahian Assembly, comprising of 100 members. They had the power to legislate over the issues of foreign affairs, defence, and monetary affairs, as well as pass budgets for the operation of the government of the United Bahian Republic.
The institutions of the United Bahian Republic were located in the capital cities of its member state, albeit there were plans to make Mukoma (present-day New Mina, Garambura) the capital of the United Bahian Republic.
Politically, the United Bahian Republic was meant to be a confederation, with the federal government only having jurisdiction over foreign affairs, defence, and monetary affairs, and its member states maintaining sovereignty over all other affairs, with the exception of Mukoma, where it was to be under the direct control of the United Bahian Republic.
Member states
During its existence, the United Bahian Republic comprised of three member states from 1954 to 1965, and then two member states until its dissolution in 1969.

Prospective members
During the existence of the United Bahian Republic, some countries in Bahia expressed their interest in joining the United Bahian Republic. However, due to various reasons, the United Bahian Republic never expanded beyond its three initial members.
