The Western Republic, sometimes referred to as West Qabór, and officially referred to as the Western Confederation of Independent Qabóri Republics, was a partially-recognized independent republic in South Crona that existed from March 25, 1733, to November 8, 1874. The Western Republic comprised of three Tierradorian commonwealths; Alcosky, Telohakee, and Ulunkheria. Despite the nation lasting for 141 years, it was very unstable, politically and economically, with a weak central government that was consistently overpowered by the regional governments' own interests.

The Republic was formed on March 25, 1733, with five new breakaway qoyalets that would formally be established as independent nations. All five of these nations were created by unifying a certain number of former Qoyalets (provinces) of the Qabóri Woqalate, which would be dissolved following the Revolution of 1733. The Republic was originally intended to be a political union between the five nations, with no designated central capital or government until the Western Charter was signed in 1795. The signing of the Western Charter bounded the five nations into a confederate republic, with the first of four designated capitals being Touraba, the capital of Undursky. Despite pleas to rejoin the newly-founded Tierradorian Confederation to the east, the leaders of the Western Republic believed that rejoining Tierrador would lead to greater economic turmoil. The Republic's economy was mainly based on agriculture, and the rapid industrialization of Eastern Tierrador was not seen as "on par" with the more conservative Western economic standards. The growing geopolitical tensions between the two nations led to many small conflicts across the sole border of both nations throughout the Western Republic's history. Domestically, the tensions were not much better, as the five republics would consistently dispute over various matters, such as trade, land, and politics.
