The Communists would structure their government as The Peoples Republic of Mirthan, informally referred to as South Mirthan. Though initially, soviet aligned, relations would sour in the late 60’s as the South would follow the steps of China and the ever-widening Sino-Soviet split. The nation was restructured, many industries were nationalized, and farming collectivized. A so-called Socialism with Mirthanese Characteristics would see the nation industrialize rapidly, at cost to its citizens. Its new distance from the soviets would see relations with the west opening in 1970. By 1980, many nations began adopting a one-Mirthan policy, seeing more business done with the South. Military funding began to fall by the wayside, as weapons and equipment were scrapped in favor of rapid industrialization. The military would also be watered down by massive conscription. The Government sought a position like that of North Korea, with heavier emphasis on economic success and diplomatic cooperation, as a means of safeguarding the nation.
The provisionary government of the Loyalists would restructure itself into a quasi-dictatorship, Initially still calling itself Mirthan. It would liberalize into a strong federal elected government in the 1970s. changing its name to the Federation of Mirthan often informally called North Mirthan, giving many of states semi-autonomy, but with strong federal oversight. It would continue relevance on the national stage, until the 70s to 80s, as more countries began to recognize the South as more useful nation to have relations with. The North would opt to vast defense spending and receive heavy American aid. In return, the north would export resources to the US and would cooperate with whatever the US wanted, becoming a western-puppet strong-man government. Relations with the South would remain hostile, with several clashes in the later years. It would come to a head in 1984, when the North would invade the South.
Seeing the near communist takeover, the US would take a more active stance against communism. Aid for North Mirthan had come too little, too late. Which would effect US policy in the Vietnam war a few years later. Officially, the US recognized both Mirthans, however became slightly more Southern aligned as commercial relations became bigger and bigger. However would continue to supply the North until 2012. It would normalize relations with South Mirthan in 2013.

We went to the great gatsby fesitval at the tallac historic site in south lake tahoe, california for the first time this year, their 24th year, the kids loved it, we took a neighbor/friend of emerson and spent 4 hours playing vintage children's games, touring historic homes, viewing period costumed performers play music, sing and perform duties of the era....the blacksmith shop was in full operation and we all watched as they made and forged useful items for sale, a great day...FREE except for the food we purchased!
It will be a regular event we will try to attend every year! all with lake tahoe as the backdrop, the tea gardens, trout stream and natural beauty draw us there for normal enjoyment but the added fun of the kids sitting in vintage fire trucks and riding around and seeing history come to life is priceless
Last week we had a huge storm, and when I resumed my usual running route this week, I found this magnificent fallen tree (its twin was lying on the other side of the road, like two dead sentries). Silverfox is a shaman so I took him there to say farewell.
