The Independent State of São Paulo

The Paulist Republic, officially known as The Most Serene Paulist Republic, is a sovereign nation in South America, emerging from the historical and economic powerhouse of Brazil’s former São Paulo state. The grandsons and granddaughters of the brave heroes of the 1932's constitutionalist revolution rejoice, the separation from the corrupt socialist juristocracy known as Brazil is a new beginning for the hardworking people of São Paulo. Established following a successful bid for independence and political maneuver, the newly formed republic is a dynamic blend of industrial might, financial prowess, and deep cultural heritage, positioning itself as one of Latin America’s leading economies.

Spanning from the Atlantic coast to the rolling highlands of the interior, the Paulist Republic enjoys a diverse landscape that supports both thriving urban centers and vast agricultural regions. The capital, São Paulo City, remains the beating heart of the nation, housing the government and acting as the primary economic hub. With a population of over 45 million, the republic boasts a highly urbanized and technologically advanced society, characterized by a robust middle class and a globally connected workforce.

The Leadership status of High Commander is a reminder of São Paulo's independence and vigilance amidst the ever looming presence of the Socialist Brazilian enemy.

Glory to the heroes of the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932, may the memory of the 9th of July be eternal.

To São Paulo

"For the sin of being good, of being just and being logical,
For the sin of being strong, of being harsh and being practical,
For the sin of being great, oh my beloved São Paulo,
It is that you shall be sacrificed!"
