Second Republic of Breadia

The Second Republic of Breadia was founded in the aftermath of the First Breadian Civil War as a presidential federation with a weak legislature that functioned under a three-party system. The Second Republic existed for 14 years, from 952 till 966, after which it was dissolved and the People's Kingdom of Breadia was established. The Second Republic oversaw the creation of the South, North, East and Centre as states and the longest peacetime between Breadia and Changelingia in Breadia's early history.

Background
Main article: First Breadian Civil War

The Second Republic formed out of the Parliamentary Opposition to the ruling government of the First Republic, which itself was restored after the Raspberrian Monarchy ruled for 4 years. The First Republic's 3rd election (also its last and the first one after the Raspberrian Monarchy) had led to tensions rapidly rising between the Opposition and the governing Red Bread Union-UP Party-SHAKSOC Coalition. The opposition raised concerns about the establishment of a totalitarian government, with Toast League leader Prophet Shadow remarking the possible danger of letting an openly radical party like SHAKSOC getting into power and the risk that another coup might occur. The Red Bread Union was criticized by the nascent National Bolshevik Party for making the North a "Communist industrial hell-on-earth" that competed relentlessly against Griffonian industry yet failed to appeal to the religious and migrant workers. As such, when the election had concluded, the opposition proposed the formation of a separate provisional Government formed out of the Toast League, Messianicate (NazBols) and the Democratic Party (formed out of the Reformist faction of the Raspberrian Party).

The core tenets of the Second Republic were to:


 * Officially federalize the Government into regional states.
 * Prevent the rise of radical political parties such as SHAKSOC and the Red Bread Union.
 * Form a stable, democratic government with the support of 3 parties or more.

Following both the assassination of President Miniluv and the Changeling invasion of Breadia during the last third of the First Breadian Civil War, the Second Republic remained as the only Breadian government in power, absorbing former political parties in support of the First Republic and taking full control of the deplenished army.
