Line 196:

In [[1964]], communist insurgents from [[Umardwal]] spilled into the eastern provinces of Bulkh and established a People's Republic. Federal forces attempted to route the insurgents but the vast desert and lack of development in the region led to a long and tedious campaign of attrition. A formal People's Republic of Bulkh was accepted by a referendum of the people of the western provinces in [[1968]]. At this time the [[Burgundie]] extended Operation Kipling to include the [[Bulkh#Bulkh_People's_Republic|Bulkh People's Republic]].

From [[1968]]-[[1982]] the Bulkh People's Republic (BPR) was a break away region of Bulkh that hosted its own {{~~wpl~~|~~agrarian~~ socialist}} government and society. It rose in opposition to the increasingly urbanist, industrialist, and capitalist society that was forming in the aftermath of the [[Second Great War]]. Its center of power was in the market settlement of Tall Diwabjah. Despite its aims, the BPR was never successful in its attempts to fully realize its socialist ideals as it occupied mostly inarable, inhospitable desert and was, from [[1974]] until its defeat in [[1982]], constantly at war with government forces.

The BPR was ~~most~~ of a political movement than a defacto state and the population it oversaw were largely Bedouin nomads and transient herders who owed no particular allegiance to the BPR's government. It did some international recognition from other communist and socialist states but it was never seriously considered by most nations and had no trade arrangements with any other states. In its own internal census of [[1980]] it reported to have a population of 325,493 people, but the government of Bulkh has never reported more than 25,390 people in the areas under BPR control in the [[1965]] or [[1985]] censuses of the regions.

The BPR did enact a number of land-use policies that took away what nascent private property laws had been enacted in the early 20th century, but their was very little privately held property in the regions they controlled so these reforms were largely symbolic. The government created a Revolutionary Peoples Liberation Army which boasted, on average, 5,000 troops and a further 15,000 guerillas. While not significant in number these troops were enough to engage, confound, and occasionally defeat the Army of Bulkh throughout the 70s.
