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 existing 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, both directly intervening with tens of thousands of volunteers and 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.
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. While Ratsimanjava's regime was collectivist, it became increasingly ideologically distinct in the years following the ceasefire. An emphasis was placed on the peasantry as opposed to the urban proletariat, who Ratsimanjava feared would become tools of globalist thalassocracy by virtue of the form that industrialization took under the late Alaatki era.
