History
Valimian Pamira, and the 1911 Revolution
The Valimian Empire had extended its control over most of Central Pamira by the end of the 19th century, wresting control of the local states from the Gurkhanate. The area was grouped under the Misharistan Governate, although the Governor-General of the area had limited control and acted more as an ambassador than an overseer. Outside of the major cities, which housed Valimian garrisons, governance was largely left to local institutions. The Valimian state also exerted little legal or religious control over the area, allowing for a strong regional Iqladic clergy to emerge in the vacuum left by the formerly autocratic rulers who now had little control outside of their capitals.
Central Pamira was regularly utilised by the Valimian government to dispose of radicals and dissenters. Many ended up in Burukhand, forming a multicultural and multiethnic community composed mainly of socialist and republican thinkers. While they yearned for a revolution in Valimia, they would ultimately be the catalyst for one in Central Pamira. Over time this group expanded to include ethnic Kodeshi and other Central Pamirans, and eventually coalesced into the Revolutionary Socialist Party. A particularly bad streak of famines in 1910 and 1911, coupled with a decade of intensifying Valimian suppression, resulted in a number of revolts. The Revolutionary Socialist Party adopted in late 1910 a commitment to revolution, and under the leadership of Sattar Guli declared the Worker's Republic of Kodesh in May 1911.
The Revolutionary War would last until 1916, and largely coincided with the Great War. Though Valimian troops were able to secure the Khanate of Kodesh for some time, and retook the city of Burukhand in December 1911, the outbreak of the Great War stunted their ability to put down the revolution. 'Sister Revolutions' began breaking out in other parts of the Misharistan Governate, and by 1916 most of Central Pamira was under the control of the various Socialist Republics established.
The war would continue until 1922, when the Imperial Valimian government collapsed from numerous separatist conflicts, and a new democratic federation was established in its place. A peace treaty was signed between the Central Pamiran republics and the Valimian Democratic Federation, and on January to March 1923 the Central Pamiran republics seceded from Valimia and in May of the same year, on the anniversary of the 1911 Revolution, signed a treaty forming the Federation of Central Pamiran Republics.
Foundation and the Western War
The Federation was established as a communist country, operating under a vanguardist model with the Socialist Revolutionary Party as the sole legal party. The various constituent republics established during the Revolutionary War underwent numerous border changes, being largely re-organised under ethnic and cultural lines. During this period power was largely centralised under Sattar Guli, who established a cult of personality and presided over a period of intense industrialisation, as well as numerous massacres and purges.
In July 1928 tensions between the Pamiran Federation and the Republic of Misharistan escalated into a full war after the former invaded the Republic of Tekinistan. Misharistan sent an ultimatum demanding an immediate withdrawal, and giving a seven day deadline, which was ignored. The resulting war escalated into a five year conflict. Though initially only involving Misharistan, the Pamiran Federation, and a few local states, the near-collapse of Misharistan's military forces in 1932 drew in various Berean powers, anxious about a socialist annexation of Misharistan.
The prospect of a total war, and one not so long after the Great War, worried many powers, the Federation included. After an initial allied push successfully dislodged the Federation from most of modern-day Misharistan, the frontline quickly became a stalemate. Under !UN pressure a ceasefire was declared, and in May 1933 a peace treaty was signed. Under the favourable treaty the Pamiran Federation was able to annex Tekinistan, as well as much of eastern Misharistan. It was however forced to pay an indemnity to the Berean powers, and compensation to Misharistan for the lands annexed. Tensions between the Pamiran Federation and the Berean powers became further strained.
While Guli initially received a surge in popularity from the war, the immense cost in lives and materiel soon soured the victory. The harsh indemnity caused financial difficulties which stunted growth for a decade, and its belligerent stance disrupted trade with neighbouring nations. A series of post-war famines and droughts caused widespread starvation and soaring food-prices, while a mismanaged demobilisation process created a surge in unemployment. In September 1935 Guli was removed from office by the Central Committee, and replaced by Erkin Anttila. He would be allowed to peacefully retire from politics, and would pass away in his home in Karakhan in 1941. Although he left a mixed legacy, and was heavily criticised during the Anttila era, he would be rehabilitated by the Gang of Three and remembered as a Revolutionary Hero.
