PARTITION OF ISTALIA
January 5592 [backdated]
Following the peace treaty of Istalia with Pontesi and Kafuristan, one of the terms in it was to divide Istalia in three independent and sovereign nations: Quanzar, Alaria, and Istalia. These nations must remain independent for as long as the peace treaty is in effect, unless they chose to hold a referendum to join another nation - but they cannot reunite with the other territories that have been divided until January 5616.

Quanzar, named after an old and persistent regime in Istalia, consists of a state with the purpose of serving the interests of the Majatran population in Istalia, which were mostly located in the west and which, during the war with Pontesi and Kafuristan as well as before, had several groups of armed Ahmadi radicals fighting the Communist government and later sided with Kafuristan in their invasion of Istalia.
Alaria is the last stronghold of the Communist government and the territory least affected by the war, defended by both Istalian communists and Zardugal volunteers. Nonetheless, Alaria has been seeing a rise in other groups and factions, both communist and clandestine, illegal groups opposing communism. The government of Alaria will have to learn how to deal with the chaos and their loss of reputation after having lost a war.
The last territory left, which corresponds to where the capital of Istalia was, has kept the name of Istalia. This territory, while having been occupied mainly by Pontesi and its allies, has still a large population of people loyal to the Communist government. While Pontesi will not rule this territory directly, they would likely choose a government until new elections are held in Istalia, and will have to deal with this big opposition.
While the territories have been divided, not many people are supportive of this division and still keep talking of 'Istalia' as a unified territory, as it was before the peace treaty. Only time will tell what will happen: will everyone respect the terms of the peace treaty? Will each government be able to stabilise their territories? What will happen with Istalian relations with the rest of the world now?
