The Socialist Republic of The Eisley (Eisylian Iberic: Socealesta Repobleca de le Isly, Illyrian Iberic: Soçaelesta Repoleca de le Esly), more simply known as The Eisley (Eisylian Iberic: ''Le Isly, Illyrian Iberic: Le Esly), was a socialist nation in southern Ecros from 1854 to 1956. It was bordered by New Illyricum to the north and Tyrandor to the south, and it was entirely landlocked. The Eisley was founded by Luçeo Alo who overthrew the Protestant Republic of The Eisley in 1854 and was elected the first President. The Eisley struggled with a lack of economic output and political autonomy, mostly stemming from the nation's small population and the Marinicum Accords, which was a set of agreements signed between New Illyricum and The Eisley in 1854 limiting The Eisley's political autonomy and rendering it effectively a satellite state of New Illyricum.

Following the South Ecros War, The Eisley and New Illyricum were forced to pay heavy reparations as part of the Treaty of Lavignole, which drove The Eisley's struggling economy into the ground. President Sobeleo was forced to take out a large set five year loans from New Illyricum in 1950, furthering tethering The Eisley to New Illyricum. However despite the loans, The Eisley still struggled significantly with infrastructure, economic, and health problems, with a large outbreak of Polio racking the country.

Urging change and reform, former soldier Jano Vanoco took to campaigning as an Independent candidate for the 1953 election. Vanoco ran on a platform of anti-Illyrian dependency, with his campaign slogan being "Elo non vaet contenoar!" (Jackian: It shall not continue), referring to Eisylian reliance on New Illyricum. Eager for change and reform, the Eisleyian population elected Vanoco President, who defeated AP candidate Luceo Saraneo by just 1.3% of the popular vote. Jano took leadership and immediately ejected all New Illyrian troops and police from the nation, as well as declaring the Marinicum Accords defunct and illegal in January 1954. Saraneo attempted to impeach Vanoco in March 1954, claiming that Vanoco was a "tyrannical dictator who must not be allowed to lead." [note 1] In early April, the Congress attempted to block a bill from Vanoco which would have officially terminated all economic reliance on New Illyricum, and in so doing doom the Eisylian economy. This opposition led Vanoco to suspend Congress indefinitely on April 19, and declare martial law throughout the country on April 19.
