Imperial Territory of Basanreseri

The Imperial Territory of Basanreseri (Tosanese: (?)永炭共; ?; Seriyedang: ?; ? 永炭共; ? Basanreserihi) was a puppet state of the Empire of Tosan after the Eulhae War.

During the Eulhae War Basanreseri joined the Contingent Powers thus prompting a response from Jupon and Tosan. Juponese and Tosanese forces marched through Ssordoni only leaving death and destruction in their wake. Shortly after the Ssordoni Massacre Tosanese Emperor X, along with the Juponese Emperor Seotachōu signed a treaty in Waigayam. Together the two emperors drafted a partition which divided Basanreseri into two separate territories; Imperial Territory of Basanreseri (commonly known as North Basanreseri), and the Juponese Republic of Basanreseri, commonly known as South Basanreseri. Immediately after the signing of the Treaty of Waigayam the Basanreseri royal family were sent into exile, and the president along with the prime minister were executed. The royal family of Basanreseri fled to Jihwa in Yedal where they attempted to garner support, though to no avail. Military occupation was met with heavy resistance, though, other allied powers implemented trade tariffs on Jupon, though the Juponese didn't quite see this as a relevant issue since they had access to an abundant amount of Basanreserian resources.

Jupon-Tosan relations initially blossomed during the occupation period, the two empires commonly engaged in trade with one another. In Puwol of 1940 the Panjin Trade Agreement was signed by Tosan and Jupon, the agreement entailed that Jupon would exchange Basanreserian resources for Basanreserian slave labor. Unlike the Juponese zone, the Tosanese ruled with a lighter touch, not caring to assimilate the locals into Tosanese culture and was just interested in maintaining stability.

Serving as a puppet state of the greater Tosanese Empire, the Imperial Territory of Basanreseri was governed by an administration implemented by the Tosanese government. Unlike Jupon, Tosan did not care to create a plan to annex Northern Basanreseri in the long-term, and work was accessible to all citizens of the occupation zone. The occupation period, as it's become known as, was a grim period of Tosanese and Basanreserian history.

Treaty of Waigayam
The Treaty of Waigayam was a treaty signed in Waigayamgui by Basanreseri, Tosan and Jupon shortly after the end of the Ssordoni Massacre. The treaty clearly stated that the Basanreserian government was to surrender all power and sovereignty, along with Tosan and Jupon dividing Basanreseri in half, though Jupon's territory was slightly larger.

Fall of the Government of Basanreseri
After the signing of the Treaty of Waigayam, members of the Basanreserian government were arrested and held captive in prisons. Swift and easy court trials declared numerous Basanreserian politicians guilty of treason and conspiracy to commit treason, and were thus condemned to death via public execution.

The emperor of Basanreseri and the empress-consort were beheaded by guillotine in view of the Basanreserian mass in Siwol of 1939. The president and prime minister had met more gruesome fates. The heirs to the Basanreserian throne had been sent to live in Jihwa so that they'd be safe from both nations. Quickly the Basanreserian government's power waned, until they were entirely powerless and at the mercy of the Tosanese.

Policies enacted by the administration forced many local Basanreserian politicians out of local governments. Basanreserian administrations, mayors, prefectural governments and municipal governments had been replaced by administrations directly ruled by the main administration. Cities and municipalities were under direct jurisdiction of the main administration, and prefectures were also under jurisdiction of the main administration. Tosanese civil servants, low-ranking commissioned officers of the military and inexperienced lower nobles took charge of running lower-level administrative divisions, whilst high nobles and more important officials ran larger divisions. In many cases, wealthy families in Tosan bought these posts to benefit themselves and their companies. As a result, corruption in the territory skyrocketed.

In Tosan
Declassified documents from the Imperial Security Bureau have shown that Tosan actually opposed the execution of major Basanreseri political leaders, privately decrying the executions as barbaric and improper to their Juponese allies. Moreover, the reason slave labour was not as extensively used as in the South was due to the Emperor's vehement opposition, who, after seeing detailed images of the Ssordoni Massacre, was horrified by the brutality. He tried to atone for this by resisting all attempts to utilize slave labour, even threatening to step out of his mostly ceremonial role by dismissing the entire government and signing a separate peace treaty with Fusen, but he was forced to relent to the demands of the government to sign the Panjin Trade Agreement, as Tosan sorely needed those resources for the war effort.

Tosan committed less atrocities than the Juponese, and thus the Tosanese occupation is viewed as less brutal by the Basanreseri. Some Tosanese ultranationalists became furious at the Imperial family after the ISB's revelations, condemning the Emperor for opposing what they see as "justice".
