Gao Republic

The Gao Republic is the government of the planet Gao. Though formally subject to the UNSC's authority, the republic largely resents this and has a strong sense of independence. The Gao Republic openly supported the Insurrection at some point, but eventually distanced itself formally from such an allegiance. In 2553, Arlo Casille, the minister of protection, allied with the Keepers of the One Freedom and the Venezian militia in order to stage a coup and oust the sitting president, Tejo Aponte. Incumbent in his plans was also a hope that a UNSC fleet at the planet could be provoked into attacking, which might have triggered insurrectionist sympathy on Gao and throughout human-occupied space. Casille successfully was elected president by the Cabinet of Ministers, but his plans to antagonize the UNSC failed.
