The Malorianese Republic
The Malorianese Republic (1942-1945)
The Malorianese Republic, established and installed by both Nazi Germany and the French State, was a puppet state led by Oberst Heinrich Laissez. Oberst Laissez, as the de facto Malorianese head of state, set new laws that were in similarity to the National Socialist model Nazi Germany was promoting. All political parties, excluding the Malorianese Renaissance Party, were banned. Those that were deemed to be political threats and/or "undesirables" to the newly established regime were to be either sent to Germany to face a punishment of hard labor within Nazi Germany's many concentration camps or were executed outright by the Malorianese National Police. While Patron Laissez ruled the Malorian Islands as a dictator, resistance pipelines were already forming. The Malorianese Popular Front, a left-wing Marxist-Leninist rebel army formed in 1936 to combat the social democratic government of LeMonde, temporarily ended its policy of class warfare in favor of working with other resistance groups within the Malorian Islands. This included the Free Malorian Army and the Malorianese National Guard-in exile.
Foreign Relations of the Malorianese Republic
The fascist puppet state had foreign relations only with nations that officially recognized it. These nations included the French State, Nazi Germany, the Kingdom of Italy, the Empire of Japan, and other Axis Powers nations. Laissez, as head of state of the Malorian Islands under Axis occupation, adopted the term "Le Patron" (meaning boss in French) to identify his new leadership role as the head of state of the Malorian Islands.
The End of The Malorianese Republic
On August 12th, 1945, the dictator of the Malorianese Republic was assassinated by the Malorianese Resistance (with assistance from both the OSS and the NKVD). Patron Laissez was assassinated by car bomb at approximately 12:05 PM Malorian Islands time after making a speech atop the balcony of the Republican Palace. After his assassination, some remnants of the German Army that weren't yet recalled back to Germany attempted to maintain control of the Malorianese Republic.
