The Republic of India is a democratic state and republic bordering the People's Republic of China, American-occupied Pakistan, and Burma. It is one of the world's largest democracies ever known. After a humiliating defeat by the American Empire during the Indo-American War, India began to rebuild its economy and its military with the help of the British and French empires. It also has struggled for the annexation of the small nation of Bangalore. India was founded when Gandhi declared independence for India after surviving his assassination. Despite such success, India was still unable to control its outraged Pro-American population.
