Irdenjan government-in-exile

The Irdenjan government-in-exile, officially known as the Congress of Irdenjan Labourers in exile (Irdenjan: Brinádd'v Śigéjda ce Irdénje Buvlle), is the government-in-exile of the Irdenjan Federative Republic formed in the aftermath of the Torberian Intervention in Irdenja and the subsequent annexation of Irdenja into Torberia.

The current government-in-exile primarily consists of former members of the labourist May Government that took power following the 1991 constitutional crisis and the ousting of the president Junic Guzix. It is currently based in Danijalgraz, the capital of Sentryzija, and is recognized by Sentryzija and it's labourist allies. Torberia, as the current de facto controller of territory that formely belonged to IFR, denies any claims of the government-in-exile's legitimacy and legally considers it to be a terrorist organization.

After the execution of Operation Halatejat by the Torberian Armed Forces the government fleed persecution to Sentryzija and became the official representative of the Irdenjan diaspora in the federation. It still maintains institutions similar to those of the past governments of Irdenja, having it's own elections, legislative and executive branches, and even an army under the jurisdiction of the Sentryzijan Armed Forces.

Establishment
On 7 June 1991, the President of Irdenja, Sirvu Ruga, issued a dissolution of the Sigejda and the Emergency Council in the midst of the Battle for Sajnirt, seven hours before being arrested in the outskirts of the capital by Torberian Armed Forces, urging the retreating government to flee the country to a newly established Irdenjan Embassy in Sentryzija. The requests were not fulfilled until the 16th of the same month due to optimistic expectations of the Armed Forces that hoped to repeat the success of the Ártanan Campaign and the largely advisable nature of the message. It was then, in the Danijalgraz Embassy, where the Prime Minister, Abaj Ddijá, upheld the constitution's Article 6 and officially became the new President, ordering for the immediate evacuation of "all armed and able men" through nearby nations, such as the friendly Renavina, while all that were unable to evacuate were ordered to continue fighting as guerillas.

By that time the Irdenjan Navy has largely been destroyed by overwhelming Torberian presence in the Torberian Sea or has surrendered to the enemy, with very few military ships managing to leave the area. One of the few surviving vessels, the Varz, has been recognized as one of the Grand Revolutionary Armaments (Irdenjan: Ddárgiv Uanáj Dádálle), a honorary category of ships typically reserved for the period of the Cyan Revolution, for it's transfer of the Minister of Healthcare, Nánac Ruga. The Irdenjan Armed Forces suffered from severe problems during transportation as well: crossing into nearby Renavina required moving through the territory of hostile militants of the Yalovan People's Army, while Aspayn was still a largely unstable and dangerous region. For those reasons, during evacuation, the armed personnel have sustained major causalities: the humanitarian wing of the Organisation for Peace and Solidarity estimated that a loss of over 30% (around 89,000 people) of active evacuating personnel has occured during the July 1991 crossing through Yalova alone.

After the formal capitulation of Irdenjan Armed Forces to Torberia on August 4th, the President issued the formal formation of a government-in-exile, with the request for recognition unanimously passing through the Tyrvałik and then the legislative bodies of most other Sentryzija-aligned Labourist nations.

Sentryzijan exile
Abaj, together with his allies in the Irdenjan diaspora in Sentryzija, pushed for it's further recognition as an entity separate from Sentryzija, organizing the Party of Independent Irdenjan Labourers in the multicultural port-city of Kandav. Later, in the autumn of 1991, the PIIL organized and headed the Movement for Immigrant Recognition, a popular initiative seeking to cooperate with local administration in handling the regional Irdenjan immigration crisis and general immigration into the area. The Ddijá petition, published on September 17th in Citizens' Herald and adressed to the Sentryzijan government bluntly outlined the failings of the local authorities in handling the housing and rehabilitation of former Irdenjan soldiers, officers and their families. Following the subsequent state-level investigation and creation of a government commitee dedicated to the issue, the Ministry of Internal Affairs offered the creation of a special batallion "Navré" (Irdenjan: "Comradery") and special housing to all members of the MIR. All conditions got accepted on December 2nd of the same year.

In the first three years of MIR's existence, Sentryzija has provided special housing to over 200,000 people of Irdenjan origin in the newly build district "Little Jaturna", with around 60,000 joining the Sentryzijan Armed Forces. The MIR, since it's creation, has expanded it's scope: it became a representative of all immigrants and minorities of Jaturnic, Cutalic and Yalovan origin, dominating over the city's council until it's dissolution in 1998.

PIIL, parallel to the rise of MIR, held it's own elections on August 2nd, 1995. Nánac Ruga, an independent candidate and a councilor to the Movement, emerged victorious and allegedly headed multiple "excursions" into the unstable region of Torberian Ártanan. Many contemporaries, from both inside and outside of PIIL, accused him of terrorist actions and purposeful worsening of relations between Torberians and Irdenjans in the region, some going as far as to blaming Ruga for inciting the 1995 Karthira riots. The legitimacy of these claims is still considered dubious, although they are considered factual by the Torberian government that branded Nánac as an internantional terrorist. Torberian secret services may also have been responsible for three assassination attempts on the politician, although, according to investigations from inside Sentryzija, the Epirgarda could not have carried out the assassinations with the degree of professionalism shown by the perpetrators.
