East Pua (German: Ostpua), officially known as the Floracratic Republic of Pua (FRP or F.R.P.) (German: Blumekratische Republik Pua, BRP), is the name used for the Floracratic Republic of Pua during the Chilled War. East Pua was located south of Naronpar and Xarslasja, north of Aylongam and Pihi, and east of West Pua in the regions of Pua, the Acacialands and Kākāriki Jungle 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 each faction; those factions later became the governments of Pihi, East Pua and West Pua.
The Chilled War

Immediately following the Puan Civil War the two major powers in the Pua region began separating both diplomatically and physically with the construction of border fortifications and the breakdown of cooperative discussions between East and West Pua.
Eastern Expansion
During the Scramble for Murbetia East Pua took the confusion as an opportunity to “Liberate” the eastern lands from the banks of the Blue River to the western shores of the Great Lakes of Thasusa.
Whenua-Kāo-Ua
Whenua-Kāo-Ua is the East Puan portion of the Acacialands in south-central Thasusa. The oblast of Whenua-Kāo-Ua had its capital designated as Sun City on 9/14/2024.
Kākāriki
Expansion into the Kākāriki Jungle was fast on maps but slow in practice, the terrain is littered with dense jungle trees and, at night, rife with deadly creatures. The portion of jungle acquired during the Scramble for Murbetia was vast and unforgiving to the East Puan expeditionary forces tasked with charting the newly acquired territory. Following the Eastern Expansion Quing Zendrid of Aylongam officially requested full or partial control over the Paŋama Canal to which General Secretary Peaches responded by offering a 100 year lease of the canal to Aylongam.
Southern Expansion
Occuring during the Scramble for Murbetia as well, the Southern Expansion to the river comprising Aylongam's border was seen as a widely popular and successful move within the country as it brought Tongatown into the nation.
South Puawhenua & Tongatown
Due to a large amount of intermingling between the Tongatown population with nearby East Puan and Pihitian settlements the East Puan government considered Tongatown to be the perfect place to liberate following the initial annexation through to the far east. Tongatown was in rough economic shape prior to the annexation so the inhabitants welcomed the East Puan government with open arms.
Paŋamania
Paŋamania is the nickname given to the cooperative split annexation of the Paŋama region of the Kākāriki Jungle conducted by Aylongam and East Pua. The planning occurred during the days leading up to the official annexation.
General Secretary Peaches explained the justification for this further East Puan expansion by stating "In order to prevent border gore by currently established nations, the Aylongami Quing and I have come to an agreement as to the division of this previously unclaimed territory in a manner deemed amicable by both parties." Thus forming the Paŋama Oblast upon the East Puan portion of the Paŋama peninsula.
The lease of the Paŋama Canal to Aylongam by East Pua, additionally, extends to the newly acquired half of the canal for the remainder of the lease.
Order No. 227
Following the apparent dissolution of Amuj, East Puan General Secretary Peaches stated
"I am instating Order No. 227, Any non-Puan nation that attempts to colonize within the Pua region shall be, in turn, invaded and annexed by the Floracratic Republic of Pua."
This order was said to be initiated in order to protect the regional interests of all Pua nations in times of crisis from potentially hostile foreign powers or nations hoping to benefit from regional instability. Some critics of the policy regard it as East Pua exerting unreasonable and unjustified control over the region for their own gain, to which the General Secretary issued the following statement on October 9, 2024:
"Regardless of what the West claims to desire I have issued Order No. 227 to their benefit and in defense of their right to self determination just as I had hoped they would do for the Floracratic Republic of Pua. My counterpart in West Pua has time and time again proven to make choices and statements solely to be contrary to East Puan interests even when the West stands to gain from cooperation. We shall not falter under the criticism and naysaying and shall bring upon the region a new era of prosperity and protection. My heart goes out to all of the workers in the former Amujan states that are currently suffering. I will admit that supporting the Kyawcenni occupation of the states comes as a tough pill to swallow but rest assured I will not rest until the Pua region is free of foreign troops. Diplomatic discussions of the Amujan occupation are underway."
The Amujland Expansion
The former territories of Amuj were ultimately split between East and West Pua following the conclusion of the 2024 Nguhrovision Song Contest on November 2nd. This expanded the border between the two Puas greatly, albeit, with natural water borders rather than direct land borders. This has posed some challenges to the two governments. An additional challenge was posed in regards to the Drebzha CenRail station.
End of the Chilled War
Following the West Puan coup, the FRP voted to reintegrate the continental West Puan territory as well as some other islands. The Repunification event excluded Tauranga Puawai which serves as the successor to West Pua.
Government and Politics
Subdivisions
Main article: Federal Subjects of the FRP
In the East Puan federal system, the national government holds primary executive power with the General Secretary above all others. The highest subnational government bodies are the federal subjects. The federal subjects consist of oblasts, which make up the majority of the subjects, and metropolitans which are federal cities that reach a threshold in population, cultural significance, area, legislative significance, or are deemed to be important by the General Secretary themself.
East Pua is broken up into the following thirteen federal subjects:
Metropolitans
