Aprosian People's Democratic Union H O M E ارزاد | Union | | سان | Politics| | ساچارە | Defence | ماركازۇم | Economy | رادە | More | L I B E R T Y,—U N I T Y,—S O C I A L I S M! . “For centuries we flourished, for centuries we faltered and now, with an Aprosian rebirth, we shall turn back the pages of history and prosper for untold centuries to come!” - Dimíras Ketséluv E N C Y C L O P E D I A—O F—T H E—A P R O S I A N—U N I O N — Míra Dejažév (left) and Dimíras Ketséluv (right) Aprosian socialism (زاندىنەتا ابروزىلان, Zándineta Abrózilan) is the national ideology of Aprosia and a leftist nationalist ideology that promotes Aprosian unity through an united Aprosian nation, development of such nation through socialist economic ideals and the creation of an enlightened nation through a long lasting revolution purging foreign influences from the governance and the culture, under the leadership of a Vanguard party. Despite being formed over the decades, most Aprosian socialist movements consider philosopher Míra Dejažév to be the original founder of the ideology. Aprosian socialism is based on the principles of Aprosian nationalism, political and economic reform, socialism and secularism. Aprosian socialism strives for economic and political modernisation through socialist economics and vanguardist politics. Both are envisioned as temporary for unspecified lengths of time, but are seen as necessary in order to create both political and materialistic elements for the enlightened Aprosian society. Initially, a revolutionary professional nomenklatura would lead the nation forward, but strive for the education of Aprosian socialist ideals to the people to create an ideologically aware population to continue the advancement of the enlightened Aprosian society. Despite the ideology’s beginning in late 1800s, Aprosia has been the only nation in the world where Aprosian socialism is the official ideology of the ruling party, starting from 1978. Criticism towards the ideology has only intensified with the practical establishment of an Aprosian socialist nation, with many citing the ideology as a justification for the creation of a totalitarian state. Concepts The Reactionary and the Popular Classes While Aprosian socialism believes nationality to surpass one's social status, Aprosian socialism maintains a belief of two social classes; the reactionary class working against the enlightenment of the Aprosian society and the popular class consisting of the ideologically uneducated sections of the society that require the leadership of the vanguard party to achieve the desired society. Under Western socialist terms, the popular class is often thought to consist of the intellectuals not among the reactionary class and the proleteriat, who exist under the rule of the reactionary class. The reactionary class is the existing ethnic, religious and national leadership of the Aprosian nation that deprives the Aprosian nation of its full potential through self-serving policies, promoting individual ethnic nationalism that works against pan-Aprosianism, religious extremism that attempts to demean the importance of the belief on pan-Aprosian nationalism and not working towards cleansing the Aprosian culture of the foreign influences. Through these actions and other false pretenses, the reactionary class attempts to control the disunited popular class in order to serve itself instead of working towards an united goal and future. Through his political pamphlets, Dejažév accuses the reactionary classes for the collapse of the united Kunihár-monarchy, the first pan-Aprosian political entity, and for the loss of the golden age through the monarchy's collapse. Continuing his claims by accusing the self-serving goals of the reactionary classes for the fall of the unified Aprosian people, Dejažév declared the reactionary class as the primary internal enemy of the Aprosian socialist revolution and promoted class warfare by the popular class, under the vanguard party, against the reactionary class to get rid of the class' damaging influence on the nation and on the creation of a pan-Aprosian state. The Aprosian nation Aprosian socialism shared the pan-Aprosian ideology of the Aprosianist-movement and worked towards the creation of a pan-Aprosian nation guaranteeing the sovereignity and independence of the Aprosian people. History was used widely as the unifying feature alongside common heritage and cultural similarities. The united Aprosian nation, created after a popular revolution, was envisioned by the Aprosian socialists to go through a revolutionary period involving the modernization of the economy and the political scene and through a period of cleansing the nation from harmful foreign influences to achieve a new renaissance, often referred to as the enlightenment of the Aprosian society. According to Dejažév, the enlightenment of the Aprosian society could only occur in a pan-Aprosian nation capable of defending the revolution from outside dangers and influences, but only through progressing on economic development through socialism and through a political vanguard party advancing the Aprosian socialist ideals to the popular class and the nation as a whole. Socialism The Aprosian socialist view on economic socialism differs from many international and regional socialist movements by seeing socialism as a way to achieve economic modernization and not as an end goal. For the Aprosian nation, the proleteriat was just a group within the wider popular class and as such, the goals of the nation should not be only the goals of the proleteriat, but of the wider popular class. While under Marxist rhetorics the proleteriat was fighting for their own rights and future, the entire Aprosian nation represented by the popular class was fighting for their political sovereignity, economic and cultural freedom against the Western imperialist powers. For Aprosian socialists, socialism was an integral part of creating a nation capable of defending the Aprosian sovereignity and socialism was necessary for the modernization of the economy to feed and supply both the people and the defenders of the pan-Aprosian nation. Much like the vanguard party would liberate the popular class from the reactionary class' political rule and the enlightenment of the society would liberate the popular class from the reactionary class' cultural rule, socialism would liberate the popular class from the reactionary class' economic rule by redistributing the lands and economic assets to the popular class, enpowering the popular class and weakening the reactionary class. The future of the socialist system of economics was a widely asked question in the early Aprosian socialist movement and the later Aprosian People's Front, the Aprosian socialist vanguard party. This question has proved to be the largest dividing factor within the movement alongside the future of the political system established by Aprosian socialism. While Dejažév and Ketséluv shared the belief that eventually the socialist system of economics would no longer be necessary and the vanguard party would eventually liberalize the economy once the pan-Aprosian nation was ready for it, many members of the Aprosian People's Front believed that both the vanguard party and socialism should be continued to ensure continued prosperity, a view shared by the 2nd President of the Union, Ár Héžin, unofficially referred to as the Héžin Thought on Aprosian socialism. Secularism In the place of religion, Aprosian socialism promoted pan-Aprosian nationalism as the ideal leading idea of governance for the Aprosian people, further strengthened by the opposition of religious extremism and theocracy. A secular government was seen as necessary to lead the Aprosian population, sharing two faiths, and to truly gather the Aprosian populace under the pan-Aprosian nation, so that the population would place their loyalty to the nation rather than religion. While a large portion of the religious establishment was placed under the control of the Aprosian People's Front and made the religious establishment responsible to national law following the revolution, religion was tolerated by the early Aprosian socialist movement and by the later Aprosian socialist government. Aprosian socialism would count then as well Dormill and Stiura, Athara magarat, and Wellsia | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The United Republics of Dormill and Stiura Aizcona The Estral Republic mainly called Aizcona, is a Plutocratic Republic located on Argus. It is bordered on the north by Brulafi and Haasar, on the south by Wellsia, Keverai lies just off its East Coast and Mokov lies some distance off its West Coast. Aizcona covers LAND AREA square kilometers and has has an estimated population of 24,350,000. Aizcona comprises of eight districts and the autonomous community of the Irla d'espezia. Aizcona considers itself the preeminent power in South Argus, with interests expanding out into the Southern Sea, the Mesder Sea, and up into Central Argus. Positioning itself as a stabilizing element in the area, it's military focuses on an 'Argus Shield' with power projection into the Southern Sea and the Mesder Sea. This projection of power came to a head with the nation of Aprosia in 2016 in the Second Imperial War which saw the two nations fight in the Southern Sea. Cementing it's position in South Argus though, Aizcona operates military bases and performs humanitarian efforts. Overall Aizcona operates on a policy of enforcing its own national sovereignty and protecting it's interests around Argus. The original and main name for this nation is the Estral Republic. The name descends from the First Estral Republic, an ancient civilization that this nation descends from. The name comes from the main city, and the nation's capital to this day, Estra. Named so after the legendary Estrabon who originally founded the city. The nation's secondary, more common name is Aizcona. The name was taken on after the death of the great Eulatz Aizcona who reunited the nation after it had been dissolved and fractured for so long. The standard way to refer to a citizen of Aizcona is as an "Estran," an "Estral," or an "Aizconan." DESCRIBE HISTORY Geography Aizcona is located in the southern portion of the subcontinent Argus. It is bounded on its east by the Southern Sea with the Gulf of Ekaitza, bounded on the West by the Mesder Sea, to the North by the Tsunterlands and the Gulf of Galbar, and bounded to the South by Wellsia. The nation can be divided into its political subdivisions; seven districts, one autonomous community and the Special Kingdom of Galbar. On the Eastern Coast of Aizcona lies Estra, the largest city and capital of the nation. Aizcona has a diverse set of physical features that include seven major islands, seven lakes of notable size, ten important rivers, many inlets and peninsulas and natural harbors, mountains and elevated interior lands, and two active volcanoes. The peak of Izartrappa is the highest point in the nation at 2,458 meters above sea level. The lowest point in Aizcona is sea level. The Estral climate is situated in a transition area between tropical and subtropical climates that are largely affected by the dynamics of Mesder Sea and Southern Sea weather systems interacting over Argus. Much of Aizcona has a Humid subtropical climate (Cfa) that is mostly similar although there are differences between the coastal areas that run along the Eastern coast of Aizcona, the interior area over the uplands that is a bit cooler and drier, and in the area around the volcano Suzkoharka which is a transition area between more Tropical climates and a Subtropical climate. Aizcona's South-East has a Tropical monsoon climate (Am) which during parts of the year gets incredible amounts of rain with frequent thunderstorms during the Summer. On Aizcona's Mesder coast there are two large but separated regions that have a similar climate due to the year round warmth and drier conditions. The Estral Lakes and the Buruzuri Peninsula have a Tropical savanna climate with dry winters (Aw). Here the temperature is warm year round with a more distinct dry season which sees the majority of the lessened amounts of rain that Aizcona gets during this time of year being dropped on the Eastern Coast. Aizcona's mountains often have their own micro-climates with the tops of the highest mountains giving conditions similar to tundra climates (ET) which means that mountains like Izartrappa have snowcaps whereas snow does not fall on the lower altitudes of Aizcona. Overall much of Aizcona stays warm year round, especially in the Southern parts of the country, and wet and dry seasons have a significant impact on the climate so that there are not four well defined and separated seasons as the wet and dry patterns of TWI's tropics heavily influence the nation's climate. Notable species that live in Aizcona are the Mountain Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus Mons), the Riverine Rhino (Rhinoceros Flumen), the Kare Crocodile (Crocodylus Tabajaraca), Mirga (Axis Macula), the Zibil Buffalo (Bubalus Zibil), and the Crested Grey Macaque (Macaca Griseo). The nation hosts many reptiles and insects due to its subtropical/tropical climate. The nation's coasts are home to many species, especially around the many coastal reefs, there is notably the Argusian Octopus (Octopus Argus) and the Ekaitza Reef Shark (Carcharhinus Caudargentum). Some interesting flora in Aizcona may be the Estral Dragon Tree (Dracaena Alas) or the Heriozuha (Cerbera Heriotza). While Aizcona's environment was in taters following the late 19th century and early 20th century, the Estral government has stepped in and nurtured Aizcona's environment into a pride of the nation. One of the most notable civil service programs in Aizcona has been the Estran Conservation Program which has made use of the nation's conscription policies to clean and maintain the natural beauty of Aizcona. Along with that the Environmental Conservation Agency (IKA) is well funded. Much of the reason this has been possible is that the nation's rich take great pride in the nation's environment and are excessively pompous about it believing that their businesses have gained favor from the gods because they have done so much. The government though also takes action in the international sphere with signing onto international agreements. A major political item though is the cost of natural disasters in Aizcona. The North-Western parts of Aizcona get severe bush fires, there are two active volcanoes, the Western Coast of Aizcona worries about earthquakes and tsunamis and the Eastern Coast worries about strong storms that can come in from the Southern Sea. Altogether natural disasters are a major concern for the Estral people. The population of Aizcona is estimated to be 24,350,000, ranked fourth largest in population within Argus. The nation's population is predominantly located along the Easten Coast of the nation and the Western Coast although there are significant population centers in the south of the nation and a subset of the population lives in the provincial kingdom of (Inset name). These four main splits drive some of the sub-culture distinctions in the nation with differences between what are considered Southern Seas cities (Estra, Urtzi, Kapa Berdea, Kai d'Jenderrega, Urrezko Hiria), Mesder cities (Jainkiria, Girasf, Hiri d'Eulatz, Hiri d'Aizcona, Buruzuri), (Inset name) cities (Zefal, Zibiligaldu), with other towns in the north and the interior having their own distinctness. This is especially true with Galbarrena which is located within the Special Provincial Kingdom Galbar. Immigration to Aizcona is mostly from other nations in and around Argus but communities can be found from all over the Isles in Aizcona, immigrants are expected to adhere to Estral ideals though. 96% of Aizconans are natives. The national language of Aizcona is Estran, linguistically referred to as Zaroquegui Estran, etymologically due to the Estran name for the Southern Seas where this subset of the Estran language group developed. This is the most widely spoken language in Aizcona and is a native or secondary language for 90% of people in Aizcona. Within the Special Provincial Kingdom Galbar, Galbaran Estran is the official language with it spoken as a native or secondary language by 98% of the population in the province. Another notable language in Aizcona is Barneche Estran which is the third branch of the Estran language group that survives to the modern day. It is considered a minor language and is spoken as a native or secondary language by 26% of Estral citizens. Other minor languages in Aizcona are French, English, and Doman. Religion The national religion of the Estral people is Bilterlijioa, one of the few major Polytheistic religions left today. Early forms of the religion were around with the migration of Indo-European people to Aizcona. It split into three major sects that developed alongside each other, although only two survive today with the other being Erlitxikioa which is the religion of the Galbaran People that reside in the Special Provincial Kingdom Galbar. Bilterlijioa formed into its pre-modern form in the early city state of Estra and developed further in the First Estral Republic with it attaining its modern form in the centuries after the Republics fall as theology became a more important philosophical field of study. Minor religions in the nation are Christianity, Bhuddism, and the remnants of Oelasthiriasi that weren't completely wiped out in religious purges. An increasing amount of Aizconans are becoming Agnostic and Athiest, although religion still plays an important role in daily life for the vast majority of Estral people. The Estral people are thought to be descended from an Indo-European migratory group that went east enough to set sail towards Argus. Many of its branches died off or were absorbed by other cultures, except for the ones that made it to the lands that now make up Aizcona. The people of Aizcona look remarkably similar to many Mediterranean people and many anthropologists have tried to trace the migration of these peoples back as far as they can. The Estral are considered Caucasian and have a tan complexion due to the climate and location of the nation. The closest examples to what they look like are Spanish, Portuguese, and people of Italian descent. The most distinctive feature of Aizcona's cities are two major metro areas, the Estra metro area contains the cities of Estra, Urtzi and Kapa Berdea with incredible urbanization in that area; and the Jainkiria-Girasf metro area has the two cities extremely interconnected even with Girasf being an island city. Of the four cities in the nation with a population in the city limits greater than a million only one, Zefal, is outside of those two main metro areas with a population of 1.367 million and a large metro area. After those four there is a steep drop of in city size to the other cities found around the nation. The special case there is that Urrezko Hiria is an island city and is extremely dense in comparison to other cities in the nation.
The Estral Republic is a Plutocratic Republic in which the rich and influential control the legislative branch and the government. This is attained through the fact that only citizens with a certain amount of wealth or that have aristocratic roots can run for offices. All citizens are allowed to vote people into office, but they have no direct say on the passage of laws, as such the government is classified as an indirect representative democracy. The age of eligibility for voting is 21. The government is divided into three branches. The legislative branch is the "Kontseilua" (Estran for Council) and it contains 300 members elected every two years. This is considered to be the branch with the most power and traces itself back as far as before the first Estral Republic. The executive branch has its powers set between the two Jenderrega who are elected every year. One is elected directly by the people and one is elected by the Kontseilua. The Jenderrega can be seen like the ancient consuls of Rome, but now fulfilling and splitting the role that modern day presidents would. The third branch is the Higher Constitutional Court which keeps the government and military inline with state doctrine and laws. It has been known though that the HCC is quite corrupt and has been so throughout its entire history. Foreign Relations and Military Aizcona considers itself the preeminent power in South Argus, with interests expanding out into the Southern Sea, the Mesder Sea, and up into Central Argus. Positioning itself as a stabilizing element in the area, it's military focuses on an 'Argus Shield' with power projection into the Southern Sea and the Mesder Sea. This projection of power came to a head with the nation of Aprosia in 2016 in the Second Imperial War which saw the two nations fight in the Southern Sea. Cementing it's position in South Argus though, Aizcona operates military bases and performs humanitarian efforts. Overall Aizcona operates on a policy of enforcing its own national sovereignty and protecting it's interests around Argus. The nation maintains diplomats in the League and has ambassadors with many nations. The Estral Republic bases its foreign relations on practical matters and its own vision of itself, moreso than based off of ideals and governmental styles. The nation has been known to associate with nations that are liberal democracies and nations that oppress their own citizens. Aizcona though is very willing to put a good PR spin on these relations though. The Estral Armed Forces (Estral: Estral Indar Armatuak) is comprised of four service branches (Translated in Estral): the Land Forces (Lurreko Indarrak), the Naval Forces (Itsas Indarrak), the Air Force (Aire Indarrak), and the Marine Corps (Igelaren Gorputza). Furthermore the military works closely with the Estral Militarra Adimena (EMA), Estral Military Intelligence. The military age of the nation is 18-42 with a compulsory military service; conscript service obligation – 10 months; 17–42 years of age for voluntary service. An increasing percentage of the ranks are "long-service" volunteer professionals; women were allowed to serve in the armed forces beginning in the early 1960s. In the present the EIA is a strong professional military with recent combat experience. The EIA also works on humanitarian missions and peacekeeping missions both by itself and in conjunction with the League. EconomyMain Article: Economy of Aizcona Aizcona has a capitalist mixed economy, dominated by corporations and rife with corruption at the highest level of government. Throughout Estran history the nation has had large amounts of natural resources, although in the present day the economy is dominated by the Secondary and Tertiary Industries with strong bases in manufacturing, finance and technological innovation. (Expand on industries) The Estral economy is the (Rank) largest in Argus with a GDP of $657,450,000,000 at a GDPPC of $27,000. Approximately 4.7% of Estrans lived below the national poverty line in 2019. Unemployment in Aizcona was 3.5% in 2020. The Txan is considered strong and is a stable currency in South Argus, it is managed by the Estran National Bank based in Estra. Estra is a major financial hub in South Argus. Aizcona has a low foreign debt and has low internal debt in comparison to other economies of similar stature. Furthermore Aizcona is considered mixed on a scale of ease of doing business with established companies having large powers and new companies finding it difficult to navigate the government's bureaucracy. Wealth inequality is high between classes although inequality is low within economic classes. DESCRIBE CULTURE While varieties of football have been played in Aizcona as far back as the First Estral Republic, sport in Aizcona has been dominated by football since the early 20th century, after the modern variant of football was brought to Aizcona. The Estral national team is considered to be quite good and has been for many years and its main football league, Du Ligako, has been a mainstay of good talent and entertainment in the sport. The legendary Xenpelar is still a major symbol of Estral football history. (Expand) (Expand) The Estral road system is mainly centralized, with two main highways going from Galbarrena to Zibiligaldu following the Mesder and Southern Seas coastlines. There are multiple highways branching off to connect the two main highways across the country. These highways were constructed during a 1960s infrastructure construction rush that the government sponsored centered around the Errepide Barneche (E-B) and the Errepide Zaroquegui (E-Z), named after the Estral names for the Mesder and Southern Seas respectively. Aizcona aims to put one million electric cars on the road by 2023 as part of the government's plan to save energy and boost energy efficiency. The former Minister of Industry Esparatz Lazpiaur said that "the electric vehicle is the future and the engine of a revolution in how we interact with the world, our infrastructure, and our environment." A national railway system that extends throughout the country and into the Wellsian Colony of Kimisr, is supported and administered by (Name of semi-state, semi-private rail company). Along with that (Name of high speed rail company) operates high speed rail that runs between Jainkiria, the Estra Metro Area and Zefal. The company looks to expand these rails to other large cities in the nation within the next decade. Rail transport of passengers and goods is derived using the (number) of railway lines currently in service, of which (number) are electrified and about (number) are considered high speed lines. The railway network is managed by (Name of company) while the transport of passengers and goods are the responsibility of (Name of first company). In 2010, the (First company) carried 292,600,000 passengers and 21,450,000 tonnes (21,120,000 long tons; 23,540,000 short tons) of goods. The major seaports are located in Estra, Jainkiria, Zefal, Kai d,Jenderrega, Galbarrena, and Hiri d'Eulatz. There are 23 public airports in Aizcona. The busiest one is the airport of Estra, with 38 million passengers in 2012. (Expand) The three largest metropolitan areas have subway systems (Expand) Aizcona has considerable resources of hydroelectric, solar, and wind power, being one of Argus' leading countries in the development and production of renewable energy. Since the early nineties, there has been a trend towards the development of a renewable resource industry and reduction of both consumption and use of fossil fuels. By the end of 2002, 73% of the country's electrical production was from coal and fuel power plants, while 15% were derived from hydroelectric dams, 5% derived from solar energy, and 8% by wind energy. With the introduction of large scale nuclear reactors into the national grid between 2003 and 2013, the portfolio of Estral power production was rapidly shifted. In the present time 22% of power comes from nuclear power. In order after nuclear is wind power at 20.8%, natural gas at 16.5%, hydroelectric at 15%, solar at 12.2%, coal at 7.5%, and then other sources forming the remaining 6%. In the coming years Aizcona is focused on phasing out coal completely, upgrading the power grid in the northern parts of the nation. The nation is making more investments into wind power and solar in addition to new wave farms being planned to open and a new nuclear reactor being slated to be commissioned in 2022 outside of Kai d'Jenderrega. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
