Preceded by Succeeded by Amathian Equalist Republic Champania Amathia Champania

The South Euclean People's Republic, commonly referred to as the SEPR or simply Amathia-Champania, was a socialist federal republic located in central and southern Euclea that existed from its foundation in 1963 until its dissolution in 1982. The country bordered, from clockwise, East Miersa, Gaullica, Etruria, Piraea, Tengaria, Bistrava, and West Miersa.

Amathia-Champania traces its origins to the mid-to-late 1950s, where the Amathian and Champanois Sections of the Workers' International about the possibility of uniting the two countries into a single, socialist polity. Talks were halted briefly following the Equalist takeover in Amathia, but following a similar coup in Champania, talks resumed between the two governments. In 1961, the Amathian League of Equalist Unity and the League of Equalists of Champania came to an agreement, and following referenda in the Orangais Socialist Republic and Bregalian Socialist Republic, Champania was symbolically dissolved and the two constituent states entered a political union with Amathia.

Former Champanois Premier Bastitou Courderç was elected general secretary of the newly formed All-Euclean League of Equalists, and quickly developed a cult of personality. Under the Courderç government, Amathia-Champania became the "third-face" of global socialism alongside Kirenia and Dezevau, and established Equalism as a viable alternative to councilism abroad. Courderç continued the Equalist split from mainstream councilism that was initiated by the former Equalist government of Amathia, and battled Kirenia for influence abroad in the developing world.

Following the death of Couderç in 1976, the government and economy of the country began to collapse, leading to widespread inflation and unemployment. By 1980, poor socioeconomic conditions, exacerbated by the beginning of the 1980 economic crisis, prompted violent civil unrest to prop up throughout the country. The resulting Amathian Revolution led to the collapse of the governments in the Amathian states, causing the Amathian-Champanian government to relocate to the Orangais capital of Brigançon. Following the creation of the Amathian Democratic Republic, Amathia formally seceded from the South Euclean People's Republic, leaving a rump state that continued to exist in Champania. After existing for two years in Champania, the 19th session of the All-Euclean Federal Congress voted in favor to dissolve the South Euclean People's Republic. The League of Equalists of Champania subsequently formed the Champanois Socialist Republic.

History

Champanois rump state and dissolution

From 1979 until its dissolution in 1982, the South Euclean People's Republic existed solely in the territories of Champania. The loss of the constituent states in Amathia contributed to an already growing socioeconomic crisis that was developing domestically. The collapse of Equalism in Amathia sparked dissent in the both the All-Euclean League of Equalists and the governing bodies of Bergalia and Orange. The outbreak of the Miersan War helped alleviate some of this dissent and the declaration of independence by Lemovicia also aided in reaffirming equalist rule in the territories of Champania.

On paper, the bureaucracy of the South Euclean People's Republic continued to exist, and the All-Euclean Federal Congress continued to meet regularly. In reality, these organs existed only in paper and were in reality dominated by the League of Equalists of Champania. Amathian Equalist exiles continued to operate and maintain the Amathian League of Equalist Unity, however, the organization existed solely on paper and did not have a large enough membership to have any sway in the decision making process for the South Euclean People's Republic. In 1980, as part of a gesture of good faith, Amathians that resided in Champania were made members of the Amathian League of Equalist Unity regardless of their prior political affiliation, and the league was given several seats in the All-Euclean Federal Congress. While these seats were token at best, they served a useful propaganda tool in maintaining the legitimacy of the South Euclean government.

Following the outbreak of the Lemovician War, talks were held between Lemovician President and First Secretary Ociote Sasiambarena and SEPR Premier Jeremèis Dior, with the ultimate hope of Lemovicia joining the South Euclean People's Republic. These talks were abruptly halted by the South Euclean delegation however when it became apparent that Lemovicia was still viewed as East Miersan territory by the East Miersan Government.

With the talks halted in late 1981, General Secretary of the All-Euclean League of Equalists held an extraordinary session of the League Congress, and announced his intention to table the dissolution of the All-Euclean League of Equalists and the South Euclean People's Republic. On 15 September, the League Congress voted in favor to dissolve the All-Euclean League of Equalists overwhelming. On 5 October, the All-Euclean Federal Congress narrowly voted in favor of dissolving the South Euclean People's Republic. A week later, on 13 October, the regional governments of Bergalia and Orange agreed to reunification. On 1 January, 1982, the South Euclean People's Republic ceased to exist, with the Champanois Socialist Republic taking its place.
