Republic was New Order's first album after the demise of Factory Records, and their last for eight years.
The album follows on the standard New Order principles of not having anything other than the credits and art inside the CD sleeve, and of having a Peter Saville designed cover.
The album reached Number 1 in the UK, and as of 2004, is New Order's last chart topper.
The band broke up whilst on the tour following this album, and media reports suggest that the pressure of the long North American leg of the tour, an area of the world with lead singer Bernard Sumner is known to not like travelling to, assisted in the bands (temporary) demise. They would reunite in 1998
