The Republic of Gulbistan (Mershi: د ګلبستان جمهوریت; Da Gulbistān Jumhoryat) was former state located in Satria and existed from 1959 to 1995 and was ruled by Pason Paywastun during most of its duration. It was a socialist single-party state ruled by the Gulbistan Social Party, whose ideology was based around Watanism. The nation would establish itself after the a coup overthrew the Emirate. The Republic would rise to become a significant power in Satria during the Satrian Wars. Ideologically it was founded upon an anti-colonialist, Irfanist, and highly nationalist ideology. Under the rule of Paywastun, the Republic would also focus on modernization and construction of infrastructure. Between 1968 and 1980, the Prime Ministers would gain power due to the aging of Paywastun. These PMs would enforce different laws as the central party worked to keep itself from splitting and keeping stability. This led to the rise pf Turan Wassan-Hassan, who began promoting more socially liberal laws and secularization. This period also saw economic collapse due to many of Wassan-Hassan's policies, and led to a quickly growing resistance. In 1983, a second reform occured and numerous progressive rules were instated, which many of the tribal leaders of Gulbistan hated. They also began pushing "de-Mershization", which was a plan to bring more civil and social rights to minority groups such as the Satrians. These reforms were disliked by numerous different groups, of which included powerful people such as tribal leaders, clergy, businessmen, and foreign interests.
