'''Thaitania,''' officially the '''National Republic of Thaitania''' (Thai: สาธารณรัฐชาติไทย), is a country in Southeast Asia bordered by [[Erawati]] to the northwest, [[Viet-Nam]] to the east, and [[Kampuchea]] to the southeast. It was historically known as Siam, or the Ayutthaya Kingdom, named after its capital. In 1934, the monarchy was overthrown and replaced by a National-Republican government. In 1952, the country officially adopted the name ''Thaitania.'' It is a founding member of the [[International Republican Coalition]].

===== The Siamese Revolution (1932-1934) =====
There has been a growing anti-monarchial sentiment throughout the 1910s and 1920s. Large scale protests break out in 1932 in the capital, Ayutthaya. This came to a head when in 1934, the National Republican Party of Siam eventually took over and dismantled the monarchy.
==== National Republic of Thaitania ====
In the 1937, Thaitania (then known as the Siamese National Republic) expanded its territory westwards, after it invaded and annexed Lan Na from the British. At the time, only the National Republican bloc recognized the Siamese occupation of Lan Na. Siam, along with Russia, was also involved in Erawati's war for independence, supporting the rebels against the British.
In 1952, the National-Republican government officially adopted the name ''Thaitania'' in English contexts.
