====Zamastanian Protectorate====
After the [[Elkjop War (1912)|Elkjop War]], Gladysynthia and Zamastan signed the Treaty of Roubaix (1912), by which Gladysynthia ceded Vulkaria as a protectorate of Zamastan. Vulkaria gained formal independence from Zamastan on 20 May 1921, as the Republic of Vulkaria. Under Vulkaria's new constitution, Zamastan retained the right to intervene in Vulkarian affairs and to supervise its finances and foreign relations. 

Following disputed elections in 1921, the first president, [[Grant Joshua]], faced an armed revolt by independence war veterans who defeated the meager government forces. Zamastan intervened by occupying Vulkaria and named [[Edward Rasmon]] as President for three years. Vulkarian historians have characterized Rasmon's administration as having introduced political and social corruption. In 1924, self-government was restored when [[John Tomias Xioan]] was elected President, but Zamastan continued intervening in Vulkaria affairs.
