History of the Eastern Republic of Frostia (Frostia)
Foundation (1918-1924)
During the Russian Civil War (1917-1923), the vast and frozen expanse of Siberia became a battleground between the Whites (anti-communist monarchists and republicans) and the Reds (Bolshevik forces). Amidst these factions emerged a unique movement: the Frostian Liberation Front, led by the charismatic and strategic General Volff Mirukhin.
Mirukhin was born in 1894 in the village of Nikolskoe, near Lake Baikal, into a family of Siberian peasants. During World War I, he rose to prominence as a talented officer in the Russian Imperial Army, gaining respect for his intelligence and leadership. After the October Revolution, he rejected communism, viewing it as a threat to individual liberty and Russia's development.
Amidst the chaos of the Civil War, Mirukhin united local resistance groups — composed of farmers, former czarist soldiers, and ethnic minorities like the Buryats and Yakuts — against the Bolsheviks. In 1919, he declared the formation of the Eastern Republic of Frostia, naming it after the harsh Siberian winters and the resilience of its people.
The Ideology of Frostia
From the beginning, Frostia had three core principles:
Anti-Communism: A complete rejection of Marxism, which Mirukhin saw as oppressive and antithetical to freedom.
Anti-Russian Imperialism: A belief that both Imperial and Soviet Russia posed a threat to regional independence.
Anti-China: Mirukhin feared that the instability in post-dynastic China and Chinese Communist expansionism could threaten Frostia.
Frostia adopted the motto "Liberty in Ice, Hope in Adversity", reflecting its vision of a free society amidst the most challenging conditions.
Rise and International Recognition (1924-1941)
After years of conflict, Frostia solidified its territory in eastern Siberia, including parts of what are now Amur, Yakutia, and Chukotka. The Treaty of Harbin (1924), mediated by Japan and Western representatives, recognized Frostia as an independent nation. This recognition was partly driven by Western strategy to create a "buffer" against the USSR.
Mirukhin, now the lifelong president, promoted policies prioritizing education, freedom of speech (limited only by anti-communism), and industrialization. Under his leadership, Frostia developed the FLA (Frostian Liberation Army), the FN (Frostian Navy), and the FLAF (Frostian Liberation Air Force), building modern military forces with support from Japanese and Western weaponry.
World War II (1941-1945)
During World War II, Frostia took a complex position. Despite its disdain for the Soviet Union, Frostia initially remained neutral, fearing a Soviet attack. However, with Japan's invasion of China and the subsequent entry of the Allies into the war, Frostia aligned with the Western powers in 1944, allowing U.S. air bases on its territory. This ensured Allied support in defending against Soviet infiltrations.
Post-War Era and Democracy (1946-1962)
After World War II, Frostia became a bastion of anti-communism in Asia. The Cold War strengthened its position as a strategic ally of the U.S. and Japan, with substantial economic and military support. In 1950, Mirukhin began transitioning the nation toward democracy, believing that authoritarian rule could not sustain Frostia in the long run. The first election was held in 1956, though Mirukhin remained an influential figure until his death in 1962.
