Lost Decade

The Lost Decade (: Dekade Hilang, : ꦢꦱꦮꦂꦱꦲꦶꦭꦁ​ Dasawarså Ilang), sometimes known as the Lost 80s, refers to the period of and a subsequent loss in  in Southern Kesh caused by the fall of East Ramay to Nilaist forces after the East Ramayan Civil War in 1981. Coined by SKECO general secretary Name McNamename in 1997, term originally refers to the period immediately after the fall of East Ramay and its transition to Democratic Ramay up until the bombardment of South Kesh by coalition forces in 199X in an effort to curtail the government ruling South Kesh at that point. In recent years, the term "Lost Decade" have been used in a multitude of ways in different settings by some commentators, including the "Lost 40 years" (1981-2021) by political commentators in South Kesh, as well as the "Lost XX years" in XXX country.

The cumulative southern Kesh economy contracted by nearly 40% in 1982 when compared to that in 1981, and from 1981 to 1995, southern Kesh's economy averaged at 0.89% growth annually. East Ramay's economy, the largest in the region, collapsed immediately following the ban on, severely impacting and  supplies throughout the world, causing the 1980-1981 bauxite and alumunium shock. South Kesh's GDP would never reach pre-Democratic Ramay levels any more, some 40 years after the cataclysmic collapse of the nation. Other southern Kesh nations such as Heiban, Cagayan, and Prabhat would not see their economies return to pre-1980 levels until XXX, in which an economic boom colloquially known as the "roaring 90s" occured.

As the collapse of the southern Kesh economies worsened, SKECO was formed in 1986 by Heiban, Cagayan, and Prabhat to coordinate regional economic and trade interests between member states, and a much more important goal of preventing such a massive economic collapse from ever happening again.
