The Mannheim Republic is a popular, yet unofficial, designation for the Republic of Germana from 1920 to 1935. The moniker comes from the Germanan town of Mannheim where the new republic was formed and the first assembly of government took place as Nantebourg, the official capital, was in a fierce state of civil violence. Officially, the nation was named the Germanan Reich, however, it was commonly referred to as the Republic of Germana.
The nation became a republic de facto following the abdication of Kaiserin Victoria in October 1920, however, de jure it did not become a republic until the Declaration of the Germanan Peoples in January 1921. A national assembly was convened in Mannheim, where a new constitution for Germany was written and adopted on 19th January 1921. In its fourteen years, the Weimar Republic faced numerous problems, including hyperinflation, political extremism (with paramilitaries—both left- and right-wing) as well as contentious relationships with the victors of the Great Europan War, in which its predecessor state had been defeated in 1920. Resentment in Germana towards the Treaty of Grythshead was strong especially on the far-right and far-left where there was great anger towards those who had signed the Treaty and submitted to fulfil the terms of it, which were considered too harsh by the radical parties within the country.
