The '''Republic of the Union of Eastasia''' ([[w:Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin Chinese]]: 東亞聯邦共和國), often referred as '''Eastasia''' or the '''RUE''', is a self-proclaimed sovereign state located in the [[w:Taiwan|Republic of China (Taiwan)]] and the [[w:Hong Kong|Hong Kong Special Administrative Region]] of the [[w:China|People's Republic of China]], commonly known as a [[micronation]]. Located in [[w:East Asia|East Asia]], it is completely landlocked within [[w:Taipei|Taipei City]], [[w:New Taipei City|New Taipei City]], [[w:Tainan|Tainan City]], and [[w:Pingtung County|Pingtung County]] of the Republic of China except for Nanxi Beach National Park, and Bektei Prefecture. Eastasia is a [[w:Democracy|democratic]] [[w:Secularity|secular]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation federation], with the elected leader acting as one of the delegates in the Eastasian Central Conference, and the highest representative of the RUE to outside observers. Being a confederation, Eastasia does not have an official capital, however, Anbei Prefecture of Yungshin Commune and Zhonghuang Prefecture of Daqinghe Commune are the two administrative centers, the largest prefecture by land area is Linjiang Prefecture of Yungshin Commune, and the largest prefecture by population is Anbei Prefecture of Yungshin Commune. The RUE is divided into two communes, Yungshin and Daqinghe. Yungshin Commune is further split into 4 prefectures, Anbei, Beiyun, Linjiang, and Fanghua, while Daqinghe Commune is split into 7 prefectures, Zhonghuang, Zhangmutuo, Jinguo, Jincheng, Kweifang, Bektei, and Yinong. The nation also holds an additional national park, Nanxi Beach, located in Pingtung County of the ROC(Taiwan). The total population in Eastasia is currently 66 citizens.  

Eastasia was established as the '''Forwardist Republic of Eastasia''' on January 2nd, 2020, it's also when micronationalism began to fully function in Eastasia. Following the February Reforms and the adoption of the Social Contract, the Forwardist government was replaced with a more broadly [[w:Left-wing_politics|left-wing]] government, instead of the old one, which focuses on the ideology of Eastasian Forwardism.

==Etymology==
The name ''"Eastasia"'' is a combination of the Mandarin Chinese characters of "東" (meaning "East") and "亞''"'' (meaning "Asia"), which literally translates to "East Asia", or "Eastasia". This name reflects not only the country's location, but also the cultural roots of the nation. Coincidentally, Eastasia's name is identical to that of the totalitarian state of Eastasia from [[w:George Orwell|George Orwell]]'s famous dystopian novel, ''[[w:Nineteen_Eighty-Four|1984]]'', and the government of Eastasia has on several occasions, explained that the RUE is in no way similar to the fictional Eastasia. However, misunderstandings of the name has occurred from time to time.

==History==

===Three Nations Period===
The history of micronationalism in Eastasia dates back to August 1st, 2018, when three nations, the Republic of Koreston, a Kingdom of Greenlandia, and the State of Cauchista declared their independence from the Republic of China(Taiwan). The President of Koreston at the time was [[Su Yi-An]], currently the Leader of the RUE. The King of Greenlandia was Su Yi-Chuang, Su Yi-An's younger brother, now the Overseer of Yungshin Commune and Eastasian Central Conference delegate. The President of Cauchista was Su Wei-Shuo, both Su Yi-An and Su Yi-Chuang's younger brother, now a United National People's Assembly delegate. Koreston declared war on Greenlandia and Cauchista, called the First War, and the war ended on November 9th, 2018 with no casualties and injuries, and both nations surrendering.

===Vashira Period===
After the end of the First War, the Republic of Koreston changed its name to the Federation of Vashira and reformed its governmental system to a federation. However, the Federation of Vashira was mostly inactive in its lifetime.
[[File:Vashira.png|thumb|127x127px|Flag of the Federation of Vashira]]

===Valdecott Reformation Period===
[[File:Valdecott.png|thumb|130x130px|Flag of the Valdecottan Federation]]
In an attempt to make micronationalism more active, Su Yi-An, President of the Federation at the time, began pushing reforms. The country's name was changed to the Valdecottan Federation, and the governmental system was much more decentralized. The reforms did achieve its goal temporary, but failed to make active micronationalism the norm in the end. The Valdecottan Federation ended up dissolving on April 5th, 2019.

===Cauchi-Korest Period===
Su Yi-Chuang took power after the Valdecottan Federation dissolved, and established the United Republic of Cauchi Korest. The URCK was a de-facto [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship dictatorship], with the power of the government lying in the hands of the General Secretary of the State. Attempts were made to expand the URCK's borders, however, all attempts were unsuccessful. Su Yi-Chuang's regime was toppled from June 12th to June 15th of 2019 because of a coup by Su Yi-An, who felt that his younger brother's power had grown too big. In the 4 days of the Korestian coup, the provisional government of the Revolutionary Republic of Koreston was proclaimed. However, on June 16th the RRK was dissolved, allowing Su Yi-Chuang to take back the reins of the country. The URCK was restored on June 17th. Around September of 2019, popular movements demanded the removal of the dictatorship, led by Su Yi-An. On October 4th, Su Yi-Chuang gave in to the demands, and ended the 6 month regime.
[[File:Cauchi-korest2.png|thumb|132x132px|Flag of the URCK]]

===Andareidia Reformation Period===
The URCK was renamed into the Cooperative Republic of Andareidia and democracy was restored, with Su Yi-An, leader of the only political party in Andareidian history, the Popular Front, a social democratic party, sworn in as the first (and only) president of the CRA with 100 percent in favor. Nevertheless, Andareidia still suffered from the same problem that plagued former governments, which is inactivity in the nation. The CRA did, in fact for a short period of time expanded to North America, with newly gained territory located in the US, after the annexation, the name was changed to the Intercontinental Cooperative Republic of Andareidia (ICRA) Inactivity continued to get worse day by day, which resulted in the Andareidian Civil War.
[[File:Andareidia.png|thumb|134x134px|Flag of the ICRA]]

===Andareidian Civil War===
The Andareidian Civil War began with the Reformists pushing reforms by force, then came the declaration of war on the state by the Reunificationists and the Cauchi National Revival Militia, the former supports reunification with the Republic of China(Taiwan), and the latter supports the reestablishment of the State of Cauchista. What remained of the Andareidian State was split between the Forwardist Revolutionary Front, led by Su Yi-An, and the Left Militia. The FRF and the Left Militia originally cooperated under an united front, but after the other three factions were defeated, the two turned on each other. The FRF eventually prevailed, resulting in the declaration of the Forwardist Republic of Eastasia on January 2nd, 2020. 1 injury and 0 causalities were reported.

===Forwardist Republic Period===
Micronational activity surged after the end of the Andareidian Civil War, which helped Eastasia build up its experience in micronationalism. During the Forwardist Republic Period, Eastasia acted under the command of the Forwardist Party of Eastasian Unity, with an elected Leader acting as head of the country. Some say that the Forwardist Republic lacked democracy, but others argue that just because the FRE was a de-facto one party system doesn't make it undemocratic, since all positions were democratically elected. On February 3rd, 2020, Chien Chia-Heng (now Supreme Judge and Chair of the Eastasian Central Conference)'s micronation merged with the FRE, but resulted in 40+ citizens leaving Chien Chia-Heng's micronation in the progress, the reason being the FRE's leftist nature doesn't fit with their right-wing ideals. Nonetheless, the merger greatly increased the territory and population of Eastasia, from just 5 to 16 citizens after the merger. Around February, the first draft of the Social Contract was finished, along with the end of the Forwardist Republic of Eastasia Spring Summit (FRESS), and the outcome changed the Eastasian governmental system and others, so the reforms were collectively called the "February Reforms", or "二月維新"in Mandarin Chinese.

The delegates are split into proportional delegates and regional delegates, proportional delegates being elected through the process of proportional representation, and the regional delegates being elected with a first-past-the-post system in each commune. As of today, there's a total of 11 seats in the UNPA, 5 of which are proportional seats, and 3 for each commune. Commune delegates are further split into the mainland delegate, the overseas delegate, and the regional delegate.

===General Politics===
Politics in Eastasia is dominantly left-wing, ranging from social democrats to anarcho-communists. However, there are still a number of individuals who identify as conservative or right-wing. This phenomenon is often speculated to be the cause of Eastasia's original founding cause, which is to promote Eastasian Forwardism, and left-wing values not only in the micronational world, but also the macronations located in East Asia, such as the ROC(Taiwan), Japan, South Korea, and so on. A rising force in Eastasian politics is the party Reform Eastasia, Reform Eastasia is a broad collections of centrists to classical liberals on the economic far-right.  

===Judicial===
The Judicial power in Eastasia is held by the Judicial Branch, a collection of different courts. The Supreme Judge is the not only the head of the Judicial Branch, but also the Chair of the Eastasian Central Conference, the reason for this being to balance power between the three powers. As for the different courts and their purposes, a detailed description can be found in the Temporary Law of the Judicial Power ([https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d7XpFBxFdWbQt1m4TkzNVsNJSW2EALPr/view?usp=sharing here])

==Foreign Relations==
The Republic of the Union of Eastasia has established and maintains diplomatic relations with many nations all around the world. All diplomatic matters are handled by the Eastasian Central Conference and the Director of Foreign Relations. Eastasia distinguish three types of official diplomatic relations, mutual recognition, which is obtained via a treaty, some nations may choose further their relations with the RUE by also establishing Special Cooperation Status along with the mutual recognition treaty. The Special Cooperation Status allows nations to work and cooperate with Eastasia on matters such as environmental issues, infrastructure, and such, and informal, which is specified by documents of intermicronational organizations. 

Eastasia's foreign policy is relatively neutral, welcoming nations all across the political spectrum. However, the nation strongly opposes fictional and simulationist nations, often refered to as "simmies" informally by Eastasian citizens. Eastasia also has a rather anti-fascist sentiment, refusing to communicate and establish relations with nations that either claim to be fascist, or the governmental system and policies are fascistic in nature. Eastasia is a signature of the Sough Convention on Climate Change 2020, Halcyon Convention, and adheres to the terms mentioned in those treaties.

The RUE is a member of the [[Taiwanese Micronational Community]], and a former member of the [[Reformed Intermicronational Confederation]].

As of today, the Republic of the Union of Eastasia has established mutual recognition with 15 nations, and established Special Cooperation Status with 3 nations. For all official treaties, please check references.
