The Republic of Siyezan (Damserz: Iršet Síyezan, Irşet Síyezan [ir.ˈʃet siː.je.ˈzɐn]), colloquially known as the Bothanian Republic (Bathanyába Iršet, Bathanyába Irşet [bɒt.ħæn.ˈjæː.bɒ ir.ˈʃet]), or simply as the Irşet, was the period of Siyezi history between 1944 and 1987, when the country was ruled by a republican form of government. This regime would change over the years, beginning with an in-paper democratic regime during the first term under Davín, morphing into an isolationist ultranationalist regime under Racba, opening up to the world again with Virnaba's reign, the longest of the 3. The parliament was elected by popular vote, but was largely dominated by the United Front for Siyezan (NMS), with opposition existing yet being highly controlled.
History
Formation
After the Republican victory at the 2 year long civil war, king Arzin IV was forced into exile in Balakia and the restructuring of the government began.
A provisional government was established on the 23th of March, day after Loyalist official capitulation, with Tayğoşta Davín, one of the initial heads of the revolution, as its interim president. A constituent assembly was called, to which only members of the parties which had supported the revolution could assist, and various changes were made to the constitution, mostly the elimination of monarchy-related points, addition of the functions of the president as well as his term limits and presidential elections, and several points which would help in the centralisation of national administration. It was ratified the 14th of April, the same day the Republic was officially declared, and a date for new national elections for the lower house would be set.
Towards the end of the year in October, when most of the war chaos had settled, these elections were held. 3 main parties had appeared:
- Siyezi People's Balkist Party (Síyebas Lenyas Balçasba Dákat): Abreviated as the SLBD, it was the most economic left-wing party, advocating for popular control of the economy, while still retaining national values.
- United Front for Siyezan (Nánujiṙ Móta Síyezána lui): Abrebiated as NMS, coalition of more centrist republican nationalist movements, formed during the civil war to ensure stability. It was considered economically centrist although left-leaning, expressing dislike for the market economy proposed by the Sannists, and generally a more neutral option. It is also the faction most influenced by Zarasaism, which while not rejected by any other major party, did not generally affect any party's policies as much as I'm the
- Sannist party (Şanetba Dákat): Abreviated as the ŞD (or ShD) was supporter of a mostly unregulated economy, and more open to international markets than the other 2 major parties.
| Results of the 1944 legislative elections | |
|---|---|
|
Siyezi People's Balkist Party: 23 seats United Front for Siyezan: 65 seats Sannist Party: 12 seats Other: 10 seats

However, presidential elections would not be held even after the provisional government's dissolution, and Tayğoşta, affiliated to the Sannist Party, would complete the 1944-1948 term instead, justified by the need for stability which he was able to provide.
