During Persia’s existence, Mangoooishere pursued the policy of neutrality which was a major boost to the early development of the nation. However, with the rise of the Quintessence Syndicate, this neutral status was not to be maintained for much longer unless Persia joined the Alliance or Coalition. Something we desperately wished to avoid as our principles would be meaningless.

So we began to look for other fellow nations who wished to pursue neutrality yet still be able to defend themselves with the help of allies. Knowing that the Alchak Federation was an advocate for neutrality, the Persian Leadership approached the Alchak Leadership and began to discuss plans of a defensive pact in which either nation would defend the other , should they be sieged in the future. The Alchak Federation using their friendship with the Dominion of Teyvat, began to include them in the negotiations . The Mashriqi Caliphate, led by vectyl and GingfulGlider expressed their interest aswell  and so did Eastern Columbia. The negotiations were finished and it was agreed upon that the defensive pact was to be coined as the ‘Grand Republic’.

Initially, at the start there was a lot of work to be done and many things not agreed upon, such as matters of policy and criteria of if a nation was allowed to join the pact. The States of Ember and USSR both applied to join the pact but both were denied due to concerns raised about both nations and how they would contribute to the Pact. Persia and the Mashriqi Caliphate both used their influence to deny any further application from both nations to join the pact.

Unfortunately, Persia disbanded due to Mangoooishere being occupied with other duties in real life and the Dominion of Teyvat de-facto merged with the Siberium Federation to form the Siberium Dominion.

However, this did not prevent the pact’s defensive capabilities from being weakened as a joint Grand Republic defence of Beograd led to an overwhelming victory thanks to the efforts of the Alchak Federation, Mashriqi Caliphate and Eastern Columbia in February 2025.

In March 2025, The recently-formed Duchy of Lithuania, led by Konstantin_XI and the Finnish Empire, led by CRAVYC and Kolixzx, joined the Grand Republic further strengthening it’s defensive capabilities.

I think this is great for organising attacks and making opposite nations do strategical moves
