The St John Republic, sometimes known as the Amendistes, was an unrecognised revolutionary state in modern day Carucere that sought to gain independence from the Viceroyalty of the New Aurean and the Gaullican Empire during the Capois Rebellion.
The origins of the republic began after the Congress of Torrazza in 1856, which ended the War of the Triple Alliance, affirmed the Gaullican occupation of the Estmerish Colony of St John. Bahian Amendists, who opposed being governed by a Catholic power, small scale unrest and violent revolts took place until the outbreak of the Capois Rebellion in late 1862. An armed revolt led by John Brown in December led to the full withdraw of colonial regular forces and the collapse of the colonial administration. In January, the colony established a provisional government which declared independence as the Republic of Saint John. The Amendisties then established a parliament, a provisional constitution, and a militia force.
