The Glorious Federal Republic, or TGFR for short, was a short-lived union between several mandates annexed by the Democratic Union United Nations from The Glorious Empire at the end of the First DU War. Its creation was one of the many conditions placed on TGE as a punishment for starting the war, and was intended to establish a peaceful independent state in the area. Durring portions of the Second DU War, all mandates but Solray's were once again under TGE control. After the war, however, the TGE government pulled all forces out of the mandates. After a territorial exchange with TGE, the Palixian mandate was returned, leaving only the TLSB and Solray mandates.

The First Republic

After the Glorious Empire's surrender, the northern half of the nation was heavily occupied by international coalition forces. United Nations Resolution IV divided the north into 5 administrative regions, controlled by Palixia, Abascalania, Solray, Tetris L-Shaped Block, and Compopund-Complex. All of the nations except Abascalania then decided to create the First Glorious Federal Republic.

The government of the First Republic was extremely loose. Each mandate was run autonomously, with no official capital, language, or currency. Issues that affected the entire Republic were voted on in the Glorious Federal Republic Parliament, with each mandate having one vote and an additional vote being a public referendum, and for the most part were settled amicably.

After Abascalania began building a military base in its mandate, in clear violation of UN Resolution VII, the Republic threatened to declare war. Not wanting to risk a major conflict, Abascalania became a member of the Republic and had its forces join the TGFR military.

For several months, tensions flared among the many nations involved in the running of the Republic. Eventually Solray, not wanting its territory to be bound by the laws of non-Solists, motioned in Parliament to secede from the Republic. The unprecented demand led to an emergency vote, with three mandates and the public voting for secession, Tetris L-Shaped Block voting against, and Palixia abstaining. The success of the motion effectively ended the First Republic. Shortly afterwards, Abascalania returned its mandate to TGE as an appeasement to prevent a future invasion. A few weeks later Compopund-Complex followed suit.

The Second Republic

After the dissolution of the First Republic, Tetris L-Shaped Block declared its mandate to be the Second Glorious Federal Republic. Palixia's mandate quickly joined the Second Republic, despite its geographical position on the opposite side of the nation.

The Second Republic was even looser than the First. It had no central parliament, each mandate instead governed itself with the help of its occupier. Rather than work on the difficult concept of unification, the mandates attempted to modernize themselves and step out of the shadow of TGE. After many years of reform, the people of the Second Republic were considerably different from their TGE counterparts. They became more tolerant and open-minded, dedicated to the causes of democracy and socialism.

With the outbreak of the Crusade of the Glorious Empire, the Second Republic became a hotbed of violence. After TGE invaded, Tetris L-Shaped Block's mandate became host to an LLF insurgency. In retaliation, TGE began a campaign of mass killings, claiming it was to prevent any insurgencies. At the same time, a TGE strike force overtook the Palixian mandate, and used it to stage the invasion of Brezec. A Palixian counterattack began to drive out the occupation, but TGE surrendered before the forces could finish their campaign.

The Third Republic

After the end of the Crusade, the Palixian government withdrew their mandate from the union, ending the Second Republic. The mandate was renamed the Second Republic of Eastern Palixia, and put under direct Palixian control. The Tetris L-Shaped Block's mandate was renamed the Tetris Zone of the Third Glorious Federal Republic. The Palixian government saw itself as an independent country, while the TLSB mandate saw itself as the sucsessor to the second TGFR.

The Anschluss

After The Glorious Empire had established a new government and gained territories in the former Chucknorrisville, it extended an offer to Palixia. A deal, called the Anschluss (German For Political Union), was struck and the Palixian mandate was handed over to TGE, while the newly-conquered CN land was given to Palixia. Citizens in the Palixian mandate were given the chance to either claim TGE citizenship (Proived they meet Citizenship Requirements) or Palixian citizenship. Those who chose Palixian were given an apartment in either mainland Palixia or the newly aquired CN land.
