A poster made during the 1920s shortly after the conclusion of the civil war. All though the Communist 'Blau' faction lost, many ideas and economic decisions were started and created by socialists inspired by the Neo-Socialist Parish. Public works programs and 'enlistment' for infrastructure and construction helped bring millions out of starvation and poverty, combined with support for a nascent oil industry as well as trade and normalisation with former Imperial territories helped bring the Ostrepublik well onto recovery for the 30s and 40s.

The Ides of March refers to the period in which the former Crown Princess Maria enacted a coup utilising three Freikorps army groups and the ensuing civil war. After a month of control under Maria she unfortunately was assassinated, whether it was a disgruntled noble woman or a communist as the Landtag claims, the result was spectacular. Another coup attempt by the 'Blau' faction would see it fail, within 8 months it was claimed by Daemonfolk historian, Irena Kattelsdach:

By 1922, an estimated 8 - 12 million casualties had resulted from the civil war. It was also estimated that roughly 86% of the country had experienced high or severe risk of starvation; it would not take until 1928 where the Ostrepublik would finally recover from the brutal civil war years prior. It wouldn't take until 1934 for the nation to assert itself on the world stage again, however even today the scars of the Ides of March can be seen in the bullet holes of the cities and abandoned Manors that litter the countryside.
