People's Socialist Republic of Gishoto

WIP

The revolution of 2245-48 lead by the militant Communist Party of Gishoto came to a bloody end in 2248 where Kaiser Klaus Gustav III was assassinated in Kien when a communist rebel launched an RPG at the Kaiser's automobile, killing him instantly; his death led the paralyzation of the Luthoran Monarchy and a mandate for the subsequent communist coup d'etat. Shortly thereafter armed militants of the Communist Party of Gishoto stormed the capital and seized it by force. The CPG took over the legislature and abolished the Luthoran-based Empire, the State Church of Luthoranism, and created the People's Socialist Republic of Gishoto, a new secular-communist state.

Following the communist coup, several new communist and republican parties arose to make up the legislature and after some time formed alliances with other parties to create an iron stranglehold on the government; this prevented others parties to make any sort of gain and silenced for awhile royalist voices.

Soon after the revolution however the Imperial Hulstrian Party resurged and looked as if they were going to finally end the iron grip of the communists; Philip Strauss was elected the Premier of the Socialist Republic and served for over a decade becoming a monarchist icon to Hulstrians but despite this the IHP collapsed under the suppression and popular support of the Communists after Philip was defeated in the late 2250s. While there was a large influx of Marxist groups, the Communist State was secured by successive governments led by three large differing communist parties; The Communist Party of Gishoto, The Intellectual Revolution Party, and the Christian Communist Party were the three main dominant leaders during the People's Socialist Republic and often dictated the majority of national policy. The CPG and the IRP were seen as more strict, keeping the ideals of the 2245-48 Revolution in the manner of their governing and keeping far-left secularism as commanding religious policy; however the latter, the Christian Communist Party, took power in 2272 and was seen as more moderate in the sense of religious affairs. The CCP made a rapid increase of nationalization of industry but in a surprising move reversed the unpopular secularism set before by the CCP's predecessors, bringing back the Lutheran Church as a dominant power in the state. This propeled a resurgence of several new political parties being created and citizens were free to worship without being looked down upon once again.

The end of radical secuarlism paved way for what many called the "Second Revolution"; the growth of democracy in Gishoto ended the dominance of one or two parties ruling the country for extended periods, as had previously been the norm, and allowed the return of capitalist and royalist parties that acted as new opposition to the People's Socialist Republic. Many of the mass nationalization laws were overturned and the restriction's on business were loosened; these new acts were seen as widely popular and the parties who were pushing for such reforms often saw large gains in the legislature come election time. The Christian Communist Party's hold on Gishoto began to break; the end of the Communist era was confirmed in 2309 when the Saints Alliance took the Premiership and the Refuge Pressure Party became the majority party in the Supreme Soviet. The parties in the Central Diet then easily split in two with the liberals on one side (called the Left-Wing Coalition) and the conservative Hulstrian and Gao-Showa aristocracy on the other. The latter remained in power for many years following the fall of communism. The year after the 2309 elections the "People's Socialist" out of the People's Socialist Republic of Gishoto was dropped and it was simply renamed the Republic of Gishoto
