The South Galwegian Democratic Republic was a breakaway republic formed by rebels claiming the Roscami region (later province) of Oranmore. The area was de jure Roscami territory, but in actuality was under the control of the South Galwegian Republican Army. Before its dissolution, the territory was being fought over in the 2023 Roscami civil war.
Etymology
The name came from it being near the south of Galway City, hence the name South Galway.
History
The nation was considered to have been founded sometime in November 2022, but didn’t declare independence until January 2023. In January, it declared Oranmore independent as the People's Republic of South Galway, a socialist presidential republic under a provisional government. It would change its name to the South Galwegian Democratic Republic in February 2023.
The nation collapsed after its legislature surrendered to the government of Roscamistan on the 26th of February.

The Volkskammer was the unicameral legislature of the nation. It was composed of five seats, elected by the people every 3 months in January, April, July and October. It elected the President and passed all laws in the nation.
Political parties
There was one party in the state, the South Galwegian People’s Party. It was the only one legally allowed to exist, and operated nationwide. It used the South Galwegian flag as its logo.
