Democratic Republic of Los Angeles (Yellowstone: 1936)

The Democratic Republic of Los Angeles, also known as North Los Angeles or simply Los Angeles is a single-party state totalitarian dictatorship founded by Frank L. Shaw shortly after the Yellowstone eruption of 1936. The nation currently controls the former urban area of Los Angeles, including the once prosperous neighborhoods of Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

The nation is led by former mayor Frank L. Shaw, who declared the nation's independence in 1936 once it was clear that the United States had failed to control the situation. In the first few days after the eruption, before the nation's official incorporation, Mayor Shaw instituted a strict police state led by a provisional city council, which was noted for its harsh tactics against the city's inhabitants.

Formed during one of Los Angeles' most corrupt regimes, the foundations for the Democratic Republic of Los Angeles were built upon organized crime and totalitarian principles, which soon escalated into the current regime of the nation.

The nation has declared large portions of the city's valuable landmarks as government property, many of which were seized following Shaw's regime take over. The district of Hollywood is noted as being on of the government's most important assets, being utilized to create propaganda films, media, and other televised programs, as well as housing a number of government projects.
