East Pua, officially known as the Floracratic Republic of Pua (FRP or F.R.P.), is a country located south of Naronpar and Xarslasja, north of Amuj, Aylongam and Pihi, and east of West Pua in the region of Pua on the continent of Thasusa.

Etymology

The name Floracratic Republic of Pua is rooted primarily in English. Floracratic is a portmanteau of floral and democratic, which, along with Republic are considered misnomers as the government lacks both democratic characteristics and the Unional Kaunihera has little true power. Pua is a Maori word for flower.

Prehistory

The Blossomic Empire of Pua was an absolute monarchy encompassing a vast majority of the Pua region in the continent of Thasusa. Due to the widespread disillusionment surrounding the corrupt leadership in the Imperial government, a populist revolution began, and the King was forced to abdicate the throne.

History

Independence

Following the Puly Revolution the two largest populist factions of the ensuing long and bloody civil war could not agree on how best to run the country following the swift defeat of loyalist forces. The ideological split was primarily caused by differences in the religious views of the floral gods; those factions later became the governments of Pihi, East and West Pua.

The Council of Ministers is nominally the highest state body, it is made of ministers appointed and approved by both the Unional Kaunihera and the General Secretary. The Kaunihera works to legislate, approve and implement the decisions made by the representatives appointed to it by the oblast councils and functions as an executor of the will of the Council of Ministers and the General Secretary. The Kaunihera is tasked with managing an enormous bureaucracy responsible for the administration of the economy and society, while the Council of Ministers serves to allow for communication between the various ministries.

Economy

Defense from the "imperialist dogs" of West Pua was seen as vital and much government effort went toward the planning of these defensive structures and networks, however due to the FRP Fuel Crisis of July 2024 the projects were unable to break ground on their prospective start dates. An internal study found that the East Puan economy was "the best and greatest to ever exist" and that "[their] economic policies are rivaled by no other land." Refined metals are a major industry in East Pua with the state-owned Transpuan Steel Corporation being the primary fabricator of steel and a biproduct of red dye that can act as fertilizer when treated properly.
