Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation Founded
Crowds in Kalopia celebrating the creation of the MRSF
October 4214 - A new power now dominates central Majatra, a Socialist Federation grouping the largest Majatran nations with clear goals of expanding its rule. The recent socialist revolutions in Kalopia and Jelbania, both benefiting from significant sponsorship from Deltaria, which had already been governed under a socialist regime for a long time, have ultimately led to the governments of Deltaria, Jelbania, and Kalopia coming together to create a socialist superstate called the Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation. Although the Deltarian legislative has yet to ratify the treaty establishing the Federation, the Deltarian government has already signed on behalf of the Soviet Socialist Republic, and with this act all of central Majatra, from Hadjoheims to Ishkiziartzoupolin, is now under a Socialist Federation, with its own flag, anthem, armed forces, and central government.
However, the creation of a state of this magnitude, especially given its anti-capitalist and militantly socialist orientation, has naturally created much opposition. Particularly Istalia and Kazulia, who hold the Kalopian provinces of Mossavi and al-Najd, respectively, as protectorates, are opposed to the rising red tide and have increased their military presence in the protectorates, as the new Federation may soon move to assert its sovereignty over the entire Kalopian territory
The border between the MRSF and the protectorates
And in fact the creation of the new Federation has already led to a serious crisis between the MRSF and the Istalian and Kazulian protectorates. Soon after the signing of the treaty establishing the MRSF, the Kalopian government proceeded to close its border with the two protectorates, initiating the construction of a border fence, and preventing anyone from leaving. Since the socialist revolution in Kalopia many have fled the Vanguard government there towards the two protectorates, and the flow has drastically increased since the creation of the MRSF. Worried about a potential brain-drain and the attendant loss in productivity, the Kalopian government decided to prevent anyone from leaving Kalopia, on pain of death. The Kalopian government has also increased its own military presence on the border, seemingly threatening to overtake the two protectorates by force of arms if necessary. This new standoff, coupled with the newfound assertiveness of the Kalopian state as a result of its membership in the much larger and more powerful MRSF, may lead to a quick escalation of the crisis
