Republic of Zeon

The Republic of Zeon was founded by Zeon Zum Deikun, and comprises the colonies located at Side 3. The colonies declared their independence from the Earth Federation in U.C. 0058, and for the next several years they engaged in diplomatic issues surrounding there succession from the Earth Federation. The Republic of Zeon encountered many problems as the Earth Federation applied economic pressure on them in an attempt to force them to return to the Earth Federation. In U.C. 0068, the Republic of Zeon changed in leadership when Zeon Zum Deikun died suddenly, and his trusted adviser Degwin Sodo Zabi took his place. The Republic of Zeon continued on with its diplomatic and economic struggle till it changed its name and broke away from the Earth Federation, becoming the Principality of Zeon. This event and the subsequent attack by the Principality of Zeon sparked the One Year War.

Following the One Year War, the Republic of Zeon was re-established with a pro-Earth Federation government in control.
