The People's Federal Republic of Malorian Islands was a socialist state located within the northeast Caribbean near Haiti, The Dominican Republic, and Cuba, which would become the present-day Malorian Islands. The People's Federal Republic was founded on March 10th, 1947 through the end of the Malorianese Civil War and the Proclamation of the People's Federal Republic by Evan Gonzales . The People's Federal Republic was dissolved with the overthrow of Gonzales on May 1st, 1953.

History

On March 10th, 1947, the LeMonde Administration reached a compromise with the Malorianese Popular Front, allowing Veronique LeMonde to step out of power and for Evan Gonzales to lead the Malorian Islands under a socialist government. To celebrate his accomplishment as President of the Republic of the Malorian Islands, he changed the name of the country to the People's Federal Republic of the Malorian Islands in an effort to legitimize his rule.

This also meant changing the position of the head of state of the Malorian Islands from President to General Secretary of the Worker's Party. Under the guise of the Worker's Party of the Malorian Islands, Gonzales implemented social reforms including the re-distribution of wealth, land reform, and the nationalization of the sugar and banana industries. Gonzales also implemented economic reforms to significantly change the economy from a purely agricultural to a mostly industrial economy.

While these reforms were mostly successful, the way that Gonzales and the socialist government implemented these reforms was through strict quotas and a ideal plan for a Five Year Plan (from 1947 to 1952). These strict quotas made Gonzales and his government unpopular through time but any dissent or rumors of an uprising were quickly stomped out through the Comite Populaire Des Affaires Nationales et d'Etat (People's Committee on State and National Affairs; CPDANE), the political police of the Malorian Islands during the Gonzales Era.

By 1953, things were not going in Gonzales' favor. Stalin had died earlier in the year with his replacement being a less than favorable successor in the eyes of Gonzales, with Soviet and East German support withdrawn a week after Stalin's death. Gonzales had attempted to gather support from the People's Republic of Albania, only for it to fall through as Enver Hoxha did not see Gonzales as a "pure Marxist-Leninist", which resulted in the CPDANE weakining significantly due to a lack of support from the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic. Seeing an opportunity, the United States reached out to Quentin Farcoise indirectly through CIA liason Richard Bryson.

Farcoise, a Major within the Malorianese People's Army and pretender to the House of Bourbon, was annoyed with the current socialist government. Bryson and Farcoise secretly created a plan to overthrow the socialist government in favor of a dictatorship with US backing and recognition. On May 1st, 1953, Quentin Farcoise and three other military officers led the 51st Armored Tank Battalion, the 21st Infantry Battalion, and the Erich Mielke Special Regiment toward the Republican Parliament. Forcing Gonzales out of power, Gonzales surrendered to Farcoise's forces and fled the Malorian Islands to the People's Republic of Bulgaria, where he stayed in exile until his death in 1981.

Foreign Relations of the PFR of Malorian Islands

Under the rule of General Secretary Evan Gonzales, the Malorian Islands shifted its foreign relations from its western allies of the United States and the United Kingdom to the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact to reflect its commitment to the ideas of both world communism and Joseph Stalin's adaptation of the ideology of Marxism-Leninism. General Secretary Gonzales also gave foreign aid and support to the Communist Party of China and the Irish Republican Army whilst in office. In 1950, at the start of the Korean War, Gonzales officially had his government recognize and send aid to North Korea as part of his doctrine of "keeping friends close" in order to have an effective relationship with any nation that leaned anywhere close to the Soviet satellite of power.

Politics

Under the rule of a communist government, the main legislative branch was renamed to reflect the leap from a weakened social-democratic state into a socialist state, with the official name of the legislative branch of government being the People's Council of the Republic. While according to the constitution of 1947, democratic centralism was established to The Malorian Islands were supported and propped up by the Soviet MGB and the East German Ministry for State Security in order to make the Malorianese secret police effective against any form of dissent towards the Marxist-Leninist regime. While as head of state, Gonzales began to develop a cult of personality around himself. He did this by glorifying the deeds of his pre-revolutionary activities as a humble socialist and leftist writer as well as skewing the media to have a strictly improved view of Gonzales. This was done by having any dissident journalists either imprisoned, assassinated clandestinely through the CPDANE, or just outright executed publicly.

Culture

After the overthrow of the Second Republic of Malorian Islands, the country under socialist rule embraced a new kind of culture. This culture (which embodied both the ideals of Marxism-Leninism and Malorianese nationalism) was one that highlighted the values of four social groups in the Malorian Islands: The Worker, The Peasant, The Student, and The Soldier. This type of culture (as well as socialist realism) was reflected in many parts of Malorianese society including: Music, Art, Cinema, Television, and Radio.

Television and Radio

In 1948, the first radio broadcast in the Malorian Islands was cast by Radio Bordeaux with television broadcasts soon following after it. Radio and television broadcasts were owned and supervised by the Malorianese government during the rule of General Secretary Gonzales' communist Workers' Party of the Malorian Islands. Radio Bordeaux operated on a schedule of "information and entertainment for the popular masses", with music inspired by the revolutionary ideals that the Workers' Party of the Malorian Islands wished to push onto the citizens of the Malorian Islands, Russian folk music that was brought over by political officers belonging to the NKVD and later MGB, and the localized sounds of the many regions of the Malorian Islands.

Legacy

After the fall of the communist government in 1953 and the creation of a kingdom in 1953, Gonzales surrendered to Farcoise's forces and fled the Malorian Islands to the People's Republic of Bulgaria, where he stayed in exile until his death in 1981. While living in exile, Gonzales continued to write books reflecting on his exile as well as the political system of the Malorian Islands under an absolute monarchy. He had also lost his position as Supreme Leader of the Malorianese Popular Front after 1953, as the exile was seen as a cowardly move to the Maoist faction within the MPF. The Malorianese Popular Front fought against the Malorianese Royal Army until 1955, when its headquarters within the Southern Malorian Islands was destroyed (with the remaining members of the MPF being arrested, tried, and executed up until 1963). On April 3rd, 2020 Union Patriotique, a successor to the Worker's Party of Malorian Islands was formed by leftist writer Harold Bisset and Gonzales' grandson Ronaldo Gonzales.
