The Florian Free State, formerly the Community of Shirerithian Municipalities (Florian: Cymuned o Sxiro bailtean), is a self-governing association of municipalities with a majority of Pro-Shireroth supporters in the southern portion of the Florian Republic that was annexed by Natopia during the War of Lost Brothers.
The association came into existence after to end a brutal civil war in the country and to end a brutal chapter in the War of Lost Brothers. Before the establishment, there was tremendous violence between the Florian Government and a Florian faction backed by Shireroth. To end the violence, the governments of the Florian Republic and Shireroth signed a landmark deal which would see Pro-Shireroth Florians in the south gain autonomy. In the community, the treaty signed between Shireroth and the Florian Republic would remain intact whilst the rest of the country would withdraw from the treaty. On the 28th November, the community was fully established.
The Jingdaoese reacted to this agreement with the Shirerithians with a 'minor' correction in Southgate. The massacre led to calls for the association to be scrapped, balanced by even greater calls for the dead to be avenged, resurrecting the tensions that the Armistice of Blyth had sought to bring to a close.
With a base of operations secured by the Natopian occupation around Blyth the civil war in effect resumed with the Free State opposing the General Government established by Jingdao in the north.
