  1. The Peoples' Congress never was in session due to a permanent state of emergency that existed in the KSR from 1928 to 1934, but was established as its legislature in its 1930 provisional constitution.

The Kriklivets Social Republic (Narodyn: Криклівець Соціальна Республіка; Kryklivetsʹ Sotsialʹna Respublika, Vichod: Kurikimaan sosiaalinen tasavalta, Seniak: Sociálna republika Krikima), often abbreviated to KCP or KSR was a partially-recognised state that existed in central Euclea from 1928 to 1934. It was an indirect combatant in the Great War and was founded by the Voyins movement. Supported and recognised exclusively by Swetania and its close socialist allies, the state was largely supported by Swetania until its entry into the Great War made logistical support unfeasible, and was mostly pulled by 1932. It subsequently fought against Narozalica but was absorbed back into the country in 1934 at the Battle of Koskov.

The first established socialist state in Western Euclea, the KSR mainly adhered to Swetania's established iteration of socialism, with plans to employ policies of council communism and market socialism throughout the KSR after the war. As no internal state-like elements were ever established in the KSR, political experts have designated it as de facto anarchist in nature – making it one of the first states of its kind. However, Alexej Batsov, Premier of the KSR from 1928 to 1934, openly disavowed anarchism and professed desire to establish a state "on common grounds with Swetania". Due to the war, a permanent state-of-emergency existed in the KSR throughout its existence. The KSR was characterised by widespread guerrilla warfare as well as rampant militarisation ordered by Batsov and his contemporary Saku Litmanen, primarily to defend from Narozalica attempting to reclaim its land.
