History Of the Social Republic of India (SRI) Prior to 2015
Until 2010, the term of Manmohan Singh the prime minister of India had been going swimmingly. He had been re-appointed, by the president, to remain the prime minister of the country. However when the Wailing Wall incident occurred, like the rest of the world, India was shaken to the core. As the world seemed to be recovering from the incident it was struck a second blow with oil being cut off to the rest of the world by the members of OPEC. The prime minister considered this blow more major than the first and he advised immediate action to the country. Having no reason to doubt his advice his ideas became realities. Considering about three fourths of India’s oil was shipped to it he gave the country a year to convert to using coal entirely and to become more independent, since India had the fourth largest coal depots in the world. During the one-year period India’s coal reserves skyrocketed, and more funding was put into alternative methods of energy production. This change however did not sit well with the environmentalists of the country and laid the foundation for a downward spiral.
On August 12, 2011, India’s plans for energy change were complete and the country ran almost solely on coal and became more independent. This success also gave the country a greater amount of money to spend on the development of new sources of energy. In this science, India paved the way in the researching of solar power. But for all its success the imminent doom that Manmohan Singh had predicted was not happening. This did not sit well with the people of India, and even with all its success, the margins between economic classes became wider and wider. Because of the growing dislike for Singh, the president had him removed from office.
Not two months after the impeachment of Singh, the looming economic recession, which he had predicted, happened. With Singh’s impeachment still fresh in their minds, a visible group supporting the ex-prime minister, called Siists, started to form. Unsure of what to do next, the president of India, named Gopal Gotama, asked the council of ministers what do next. Even though warned of the impending danger that would happen is Singh was not re-instated, Gotama decided not to listen for he had placed his brother as the replacement prime minister.
Becoming more and more bold as his support grew; Singh began to make speeches and attend rallies about overthrowing the current government. At these rallies he broke his party ranks, and supported the equality of the people; gaining the support of the lower class. The country seemed split between the two most influential figures in their midst; their prime minister and their president.
In February 23, 2013, during one of his support rallies, Singh was shot and killed by a supporter of Gotama. In retaliation, not a week later a mob of Siists stormed the prime minister’s house and killed Gopal Gotama. In the following month of March two distinct factions formed in India tearing the party lines. One of these groups, the Siists, was led by Singh’s assistant, Hadrian Mercer. Mercer was an American who moved to India when he realized America might go into economic recession. The other group, simply called loyalists, remained true to the presidents. The current Prime Minister, Gopal’s brother, Isha Gotama, led this group.
When tensions finally reached a boiling point, Mercer realized he could wait no longer to fulfill his mentors dream. In a rash and unexpected move on May 3, 2013 he pulled all the Siists to the southern section of India and seceded, naming his country Social Republic of India. The reason for pulling them to the southern half was fairly obvious because that was where the majority of Siists were, and it still gave them access to their major trading partner, Singapore. The Siists also proclaimed Mumbai to be the capital of their new nation. This however was not enough he then declared war on the Republic of India. With the help of Russia, the SRI, as they were now called, fought with loyalty and determination. Before the year was out, the Siists had conquered New Delhi, which forced the surrender of the Republic of India. On December 14, 2013 the SRI reunited India under their new government.
In the year of 2014, Mercer helped get India back on its feet, and resumed where his mentor had left off. Mercer continued with India's plan for a finding a different source of energy and letting the country run off its coal supplies along with solar power. Mercer also succeeded in creating an entente with Britain, an alliance with Russia, and kept close ties with Singapore. With war now looming and threatening to engulf the world, Mercer looks to the future and hopes he can guide India through this turbulent time.
