The Foxan Republic, formally the First Foxan Federal Republic, was established formally on August 18th, 2031 in the aftermath of the TexMex war with the Treaty of Cuemavaca. The nation, which resides over territories including some central southern U.S. States (Namely Texas and its surrounding territories), some northern Mexican States, and Cuba, is a Federal Oligarchical Republic, consisting of four branches of government with its executive branch headed by a cabinet of equal chief executives. Since its first formation, and after winning the One Year War, it has established itself as a major player in national affairs. The nation boasts a heavy eleven-branch military, high nationalism and happiness rates, privatized healthcare and education systems, and rapid expansion.
History[]
Secession and the Tex-Mex War[]
The Foxan Republic, first known as South Texas, Texia, or the Texian Republic, was born after a series of violent clashes between a secessionist Southern Texas and an increasingly expansionist Mexico. After crime and immigration rates skyrocketed and cartel lords began to take over southern Texan cities, a southern portion of Texas made a bid for secession to create a buffer state that could manage its own borders and alleviate some of the problems on the United States-Mexican Border. After succeeding in the House but failing to pass the United States Senate, President Donald Trump signed an executive order setting South Texas as a Special Administrative Zone in 2027. Texia began to make claims for greater independence and complete autonomy from the union, and after some skirmishes, Texia was allowed to legally secede. Mexico, particularly in its northern portions, generated an idea of reclaiming the Texian territory, seeing it as both retribution for the Mexican-American War, and as more space for running cartels into the North. On January 2nd, 2028, Mexico began a forceful invasion of Texia, claiming some slivers of territory near the eastern Rio Grande. On March 5th, 2028, a forceful overthrow of the American Government was conducted, and the new executives entered the war in an attempt to reclaim Texia, which it claimed seceded illegally. In May of that year, after Mexico and the U.S. had dug into the Texian territory, a counteroffensive began. Around a hundred thousand Texian troops were moved en-masse to each front, performing a double encirclement tactic similar to German blitzkriegs. By late June, the Texian Republic had reclaimed its old territory and was beginning to dig into its Mexican border states. In the following months, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, and Nuevo Leon had fallen to Texian forces. After low morale and high mortality rates ransacked the American forces on the Texian-American border, the U.S. pulled out of the war on May 3rd, 2029. With the U.S. out of the fight, Texia reallocated its troops, quickly making landings down the Gulf of Mexico and onto the Yucatan. By the end of 2029, Chihuahua, Sonora, Durango, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, Veracruz, and Tobasco had fallen into Texian hands. After Texian troops began to utilize makeshift thermobaric explosives, the UN sent troops to the Mexican-Texian border to stabilize the front and offer a peace treaty. The peace treaty was declined and many of the UN operatives sent into the area went KIA. The front was stabilized, however, and it wasn't until late 2030 when the war would see more action. In September of 2030, Texian forces broke through at Tobasco and encircled the Yucatan, successfully sealing Mexico from the Gulf of Mexico. From that month to mid 2031, Mexican troops began to retreat and fortify further inland, but due to regional instability and cartel warfare, most attempts fell futile. Texian forces were later able to seize Puebla, Tlaxcala, Hidalgo, Guanajuato, and Queretaro. On August 12th, Texian forces bombed and invaded Mexico City, damaging the Angel of Independence in a symbolic move. As Texian forces encircled through northeastern Guerrero, the Mexican troops found themselves circled inside Morelos, and soon, Mexico sued for peace, ending in the establishment of the Treaty of Cuemavaca, in which Mexico regained independence, but lost Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, and parts of Coahuila to form the new Foxan Republic with Texia, named after the elitist Fox Platoon that first served as base defense against overwhelming odds and won. The fledgeling nation did, however, face recognition challenges from international governments, with some neighboring countries wanting recognition for peace, and some Eurasian countries recognizing the Foxan Republic because it was falsely believed that it could be a way to combat western influence.
Redistrictization and Development[]
After the Tex-Mex War, the Foxan Republic began to grow, and through the hardworking mix of Texan and Mexican cultures, economy and industry began to boom within the infant nation. The Foxan Constitution was drafted at the El Paso Convention on February 9th, 2032. On July 5th, 2032, the constitution was ratified in its last territory of Foxan Chihuahua, and the Foxan Republic had officially coalesced, with the eight states of King and Eastern Chihuahua made from Foxan Chihuahua, North and South Forctus being carved from Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Arbora and Tamaulipas being carved from Tamaulipas. The capital was also moved from El Paso to Monterrey in Nuevo Leon, which was renamed Libertania, to make Mexican states more agreeable with Foxan influence. Soon enough, a quick stint of martial law was established to stabilize the region and clear any cartel activity before mass infrastructure, urbanization, and forestation projects began to occur. In its first few years, the Foxan Republic had an average GDP growth rate surpassing 120%. Russian and East Asian efforts were held to bring the Foxan Republic into BRICS and help establish it as an allied power to the anti-NATO nation states. The Foxan Republic declined requests to join BRICS and NATO, forming a doctrine called the "Intercontinental Doctrine of the Foxan Republic", which affirmed a stance of hostile neutrality and mediation. On July 23rd, 2032, the first elections were held in the Foxan Republic, officially filling executive, legislative, judicial, diplomatic, domestic, fiscal, and political positions in the government. Its HDI raised from about .840 to .947 over the first four years of development. On August 17th, 2032, the positions of government of the Foxan Republic became stable, and the nation began to focus purely on infrastructure and development, building dozens of major highways, cities, industrial zones, and forestation patches. Nonetheless, the Foxan Republic had achieved regional peace, internal tranquility, and major national development.
One Year War[]
As the Foxan Republic's GDP surpassed 10 trillion and its population surpassed 40 Million, its industry and military were booming. The armed forces actively participating in training drills and military exercises was over 2 Million, with around 18 Million others of its 40 Million citizens stating a willingness to volunteer in the scenario of wartime. The Foxan Military was producing its own oil, rifles, handguns, artillery, tanks, aircraft, and naval craft, each with high quality and innovative practice. After the deposition of the United States Government and the usurping of power by the American Democratic Army, tensions only rose with the Foxan Republic. Several controversial approaches to cultural government, including its negative national views on abortion, social programs, LGBTQ rights, drug legality, obesity, skeptic assembly, and social progressivism, led to increasing tensions with progressive states across the globe. With increasing federal power and domestic independence policies, the Foxan Republic became mainly self-reliant, except for monetary benefits from trade output with several European, African, and Asian countries. In June of 2035, sanctions were placed on the Foxan Republic, and a notice by the United Nations declared that the rapid growth of the Foxan Republic could lead to major continental instability and possible rapid imperialist expansion into surrounding countries if not ceased immediately. The North American Unity Bloc was formed from the United States, Mexico (The American Mexican Federation), Cuba, Belize, Venezuela, Brazil, Honduras, Canada, Greenland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, France, Liechtenstein, the Benelux, Monaco, the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Australia, and several African and Oceanic nations. The North American Unity Bloc, after formal formation, militarized zones around the Foxan Republic and backed its ultimatum. When the Foxan Republic refused dissolution, the NAUC invaded through the Gulf front, the American Front, and the Mexican front. As the Foxan Republic began to lose territory, it quickly activated a matrix system of anti-air, anti-naval, and ABM devices around its borders and territory. On May 1st, 2036, the war was formally declared, at the time called the War of Euromerican Aggression by the FR and the Invasion of the Foxan State by the NAUC. East Chuhuahua and Tamaulipas quickly fell, with smaller territorial losses for the FR on the North Texan border. In June of 2036, FR forces launched a full scale counteroffensive with its double encirclement blitzkrieg tactics, which it called sandstorming. In July, East Chihuahua and Tamaulipas were reclaimed, with major advances into the United States occurring on the North Texan border at the American Front. Hundreds of Thousands of NAUC troops were captured as prisoners of war, compared to around 3,200 Foxan Troops, which were able to manufacture improvised explosives and damage NAUC command on the front lines. On May 22nd, Durango fell to the FR. On May 28th, San Luis Potosi did the same. On June 7th, Foxan troops made landings in Veracruz, Tobasco, Louisinana, Mississippi, and Florida to varying, but generally decent success. By the end of June, the Foxan Republic had made landings in Cuba, Belize, and across the Yucatan: Mexico had been cut off from the gulf. In early July, Cuba and Belize became fully occupied by around 120,000 Foxan troops. On July 4th, landings were made up the American East Coast, quickly signifying the Fall of Florida and the invasion of Georgia, the Carolinas, Greater Virginia, and Maine. On July 7th, another wave of troops was sent into Mexico. By the end of July, Washington D.C. had fallen with the East Coast States and the Canadian Provinces of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edwards Island, and Labrador. By mid August, the whole of the Yucatan was fully occupied, as was Veracruz. Sonora, Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Queretaro, and Hidalgo had fallen. With the Mexican forces in scrambles and with cartel and gang warfare littering the land, Mexico was weak. On August 28th, 2036, a 20 Kiloton Thermobaric Bomb was detonated above an evacuated Mexico City. On August 30th, Mexico surrendered and left the NAUC. By mid September, Alaska had been invaded and the Foxan forces were stretching up the west coast, at that time, Foxan forces occupied the states and provinces of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, California, Nevada, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Main and West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Washington D.C., Maryland, Delaware, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edwards Island, Labrador, New Brunswick, Quebec, Alaska, and Yukon. On October 2nd, after the bombings of Cincinnati and Kansas City, the United States pushed for more support from the NAUC, which had declined from using nuclear bombardment until that point. On October 7th, a Nuclear Bomb was dropped on the Foxan Republic near the former capital of El Paso, leading to the death of hundreds of thousands. From October 9th to October 22nd, eight thermobaric high-yield thermobaric bombs were dropped on Caracas, Brussels, Ontario, and several U.S. and Brazilian cities in the Mid-North. On October 25th, the NAUC capitulated, leading to the signing of the treaties of Caracas (the FR pulls out of Latin and South America), Toronto, and Brussels. The war had finally ended, and most territorial gains were returned except for Cuba, Northern Texas, New Mexico, Eastern Arizona, Oklahoma, Missouri under the 36th parallel, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Western Alabama, Western Chihuahua, Eastern Sonora, and Northern Durango. The treaties also established Belize and Honduras as puppet states, and the partition of Mexico into Baja, the Mexican West Gulf States, Yucatan, Central Mexico, Chiapas, Baijo, Mexico, and Pacifica.
Rebuilding and Revision[]
Following the One Year War, the Foxan Republic had to manage and successfully incorporate its acquired territories, leading to a period of rebuilding, revision, and high growth. Its newly acquired territories, after several congress holds between November of 2036 to June of 2038, were split into King, East Chihuahua, North and South Forctus, Texia, Arbora, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Queens and Nuevos (from New Mexico), Texas (Northern Texas), Arkansas, Louisiana, Del Sur, Ares, Solaris, Oklahoma, Sequoyah (A slightly expanded variant of the historical Native American Reserve state), Arisola (Foxan Arizona), Verita, Rio, and Delta (Verita, Rio, and Delta are three states made from the Mississipan territory of Mississipi, Foxan Alabama, and Foxan Missouri), Havana, Matanzas, Santa Clara, Isla Juventud, Oriente, Camaguey, F.D. El Paso, and F.D. Libertania. By 2039, all of the rezoned states had ratified the Foxan Constitution.
