The Southern Peoples' United Autonomous Government (Sangunese: 南人聯盟自治政府 Nanjin Renmei Jichi Seifu), also known as the SPUAG, is a puppet regime supported by the Empire of Greater Sangun. Established on 10.VIII1719 AN in expectation of the imminent collapse of the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union, the government claims to represent various former Bassarid territories in northern Corum.
Name
The word Nanjin (南人) has a dual meaning within Sangun. In its literal translation of "southern people", it is a historical term for the Bassarids of New Zimia and neighbouring lands in northern Corum. It is also the Sangunese name for the city of Southman/Sóuzhamäl, which was originally intended to serve as the SPUAG's capital.
History
Foundation
The Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union entered a period of slow decline during the second decade of the eighteenth century AN. This decline accelerated dramatically in 1717 AN, as the weakening empire withdraw from its territories in Eura and Keltia, prompting the eruption of a series of destructive conflicts as neighbouring states sought to stabilise the degenerating situation.
By 1719 AN, it was apparent that the final collapse of the Bassarid Empire was imminent. Unwilling to see the adjoining Bassarid heartlands in northern Corum fall under the sway of elements hostile to the Raspur Pact, the regency council of the Empire of Greater Sangun began cultivating support within New Zimia's Region of the East and the neighbouring Protectorate of the Wallis Islands. On 10.VIII.1719 AN, representatives of various pro-Sangunese parties met in the Sangunese capital, Yasutomi, and agreed to form a "regime in waiting", the Southern People's United Autonomous Government.
Establishing a new state
The discovery of a major Bassarid corsair armada massing in northern Corum, together with the subsequent Raspur Pact attack on 9.VI.1720 AN, prompted the SPUAG and its Sangunese handlers to accelerate their plans. It soon became apparent however that the SPUAG commanded rather less appeal than hoped: while the Wallis Islands enthusiastically declared for the fledgling regime, the cities of Cannassas and Southman declined to commit, responding to the overtures of their would-be rulers with an altogether ominous lack of enthusiasm.
An attempt to force the issue by landing troops of the Imperial Sangunese Army at Cannassas and Southman on 20.VI.1720 AN did little to help. Although the Sangunese were able to secure a foothold in both cities by the close of the day, their position remained precarious; this was particularly so in Cannassas, where the mood of the populace was anything but welcoming.
The following days witnessed mixed fortunes. At sea, Bassarid corsairs frustrated attempts to reinforce and supply the Sangunese forces in Northern Corum, prompting the Imperial Sangunese Navy to intervene in an attempt to restore the sea lines of communication. The Sangunese and their Wallisian allies were however defeated in a bloody engagement with a larger corsair fleet on 23.VI.1720 AN. A Wallisian Bijeko-class attack ship was sunk and three Indigo-class gunboats damaged, together with a Sangunese battleship and cruiser; although three corsair vessels were reported destroyed, the severe losses forced the allied fleet to return to port, surrendering control of the straits.
Government and politics
Few details are known about the SPUAG's political structure. The government is known to be led by a "chief executive", although the identity of the individual or (individuals) holding that office has not been publicly revealed. The chief executive is believed to preside over a governing council, possibly modelled upon the Bassarid Council of Courts, comprising representatives of the two regions and various aligned military forces.
Regions
The SPUAG currently claims two former Bassarid regions, East Zimia (the former New Zimian Region of the East), and the Protectorate of the Wallis Islands. The latter includes the Erlo Sinders Regional Forest protected area.

Military
The SPUAG asserts ownership of all personnel and assets formerly belonging to the Wallis Island Division of the New Zimian War League; in view of the confused and chaotic situation following the fall of the Bassarid system, it is unclear how much of this materiel survives. The regime is also believed to be supported by the Army of the Imab, a militia force formed from the warbands of the Imab-Adred-Nas people of Northern Corum.
