Central Artemian People's State

The Central Artemian People's State (CAPS) was a  in central Artemia that existed from 1911 to 1950. It was a federation of socialist republics in central Artemia.

The founding of CAPS traces back to the establishment of the Free Svenskt Republic in 1900. Newly independent from the Gardic Empire, a coalition of republicans and communists governed the nascent Svenskti republic. In 1911, the communists seized control of the government and formally established the Central Artemian People's State. In 1925, the Communist Party of Borgosesia launched the Second Borgosesian Civil War and overthrew the Republic of Borgosesia. Borgosesia joined the CAPS on December 31 1925.

Throughout the 1930's, the CAPS implemented economic reforms throughout its constituent republics, including the collectivization of agriculture and industry. The overarching Communist Party of the Central Artemian People's State (CPCAPS) governed from the capital in Kaasøeborg in the bicameral Union Congress. Members of the CPCAPS originated from all of the constituent states, called "sister republics", of the CAPS. In addition, each constituent state had a local communist party that acted regionally as part of the state bureaucracy to ensure cohesion among the ethnically and socially diverse states.

In 1940, the Central Artemian People's State invaded Gardarike to seize the territories of Grænudalir and Lutzo. In response, the governments of Seratof and Samothke declared war on the CAPS, sparking the Central Artemian War. The war lasted from 1940 to 1945 and resulted in the defeat of the CAPS, the loss of territories A and B to Y and Z, and the fall of communism in Svenskt. In 1945, Borgosesia was the sole remaining constituent state of the CAPS, and the remaining organs of power relocated from Kaasøeborg to Seso. Essentially a, the CAPS languished until the death of Communist Party of Borgosesia General Secretary Carlo Conti in 1950. Following the death of Conti, the Union Congress of the CAPS votes to dissolve the country. The Communist Party of Borgosesia subsequently formed the Borgosesian People's Republic.

Despite its goals of transnational socialism, the Central Artemian People's State contributed little in terms of economics, culture, or technological advancement. However, the rise and subsequent failure of the Central Artemian People's State had lasting consequences for the domestic and foreign policy of nations in Central Artemia.
