Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai

Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai
The most pervasive and successful rebellion came from a group calling themselves the Adhomai Liberation Army, a group made up of Tajara from almost every walk of life. This organization opposed corporate claims on Tajaran soil and denounced the mismatched development and governmental negligence as the fault of humanity. They named the nation they were fighting for the Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai.

The DPRA is now lead by Purrjar Almrah Harrlala who is struggling to transition what was once a militant insurgency movement into a modern, democratic nation. With the help of Nated as a government minister going out to negotiate with ruling Juntas to voluntarily turn over power to civilian governments, the DPRA's future faces many fundamental changes. The Liberation Army and the DPRA does, for the most part, try to respect the basic rights of Tajara. Most Tajara under their rule don't need to worry about a secret police or being framed for a crime for civil disobedience. Criticizing the Liberation leadership is allowed, and many powerful figures laugh along with searing satire targeted at them.

The Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai uses the Credit as their main currency, with the adhomian knuckles and other local currencies being accepted and widely used by the population.

The DPRA economy can be described as a mixed system. Most industries and large enterprises are owned by their local government. Citizens are allowed to hold and buy shares from those business, allowing all people to have a voice and participate in the nation’s economy. No single person or company is allowed to have more than 10% of the shares in any public enterprise. Private ventures are permitted by the state, requiring little supervision from the authorities.

The territories of the Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai enjoy a moderate presence of factories and industrialized farms, due to the nationalization of megacorporation industries and confiscation of PRA’s public property. Small farmers control most of the agriculture, being granted freedom to organize and practice agriculture as they see fit, without having to answer to the strict republican bureaucracy or the nobility. However, it is a common practice for the armies to confiscate harvests and other products from the farmers.

The authorities of the DPRA continued many of the social welfare programs created by Al'mari. Bread is freely provided to all citizens who don't make over a certain amount of money. Communal apartment complexes with no rent are present in cities, allowing the poorest urban dwellers to have a residency when they are unable to pay their pills. The life inside of those accommodations is devoid of luxuries, as they are built with low cost materials and can house many families at once.

The influence of megacorporations is very limited, as the government of the Democratic Republic sees NanoTrasen and other galactic forces as threats to the freedom of the tajaran species.

= Culture =

The government of the DPRA seeks to dismantle the ethnic caste system present intajaran society. Instead of creating policies and using the force of the state to do so, they believe that this goal can be reached by giving the necessary opportunities and freedom from external influences to the tajara species. Local autonomy and regional cultures are protected by the authorities. Traditional zhan communities, rock nomads and amohdan lodges are allowed to thrive in the territories of the Democratic People’s Republic. This ideology is known as Al’mariism, as it seeks to preserve the initial ideals of the first revolution.

Citizens of the DPRA are usually nationalists and arduous defenders of their nation, as many see it as the rightful heir of the first revolution. Freedom and self determination are considered the main values in the society. They believe that only by taking control of their own destiny, the tajaran people can prosper.

Xenophobia is widespread among the natives, as it is common practice to blame NanoTrasen and the human nations for the problems which Adhomai faces. This prejudice is commonly displayed through an isolationist attitude and extreme care when dealing with non-tajaran elements.

Former Supreme Command Nated is an important figure to many, due to his role in the second revolution. It is not uncommon to find his picture in homes and workplaces, being revered as the one that carries the torch of Al’mari. Despite his retirement from politics, a small cult of personality has formed around him, with some fanatical members claiming that Halkiikir is a prophet sent by the Suns.

The relation between the civil government and the military is mixed. Some junta commanders are reluctant in transferring their powers to the newly created state. Confiscation of property and other abuses are also reported in regions where the army still holds some power.

They consider a rapid industrialization as the best choice for Adhomai in regards to its economy, even if it is for the detriment of the environment.This party is lead by ex-interim president Brajrr Alnadruskiy.

National Adhomai Worker's Party: this party is composed of urban workers and intellectuals. They aim to increase the autonomy of the states, placing less importance in the decisions made by the national assemblies.

This party is lead by the president Almrah Harrlala.

Amohdan Free Lodge: this minor party is represented by Amohdan nationals. They push for the independence of Amohda as its own state, usually siding with other parties that may help them in reaching their goals. However, they are divided between two different sides; one that sees democracy as the best option for the island, while others believe that restoring the monarchy would be better. This organization was the main supporter of the ceasefire with the New Kingdom of Adhomai.

Adhomian Blue Party: this minor party is formed by farmers and students. Instead of worrying about the course of the war or the composition of the government, their main goal is preserving the environment of Adhomai. The industrialization and the armed conflict are seems as major threat to the nature and beauty of the planet. Members of this organization are also vehemently opposed to the presence of NanoTrasen.

= Military =

The Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai’s military is the Adhomai Liberation Army.

The Adhomai Liberation Army is one of the most important elements of the DPRA, as it was the force that allowed the creation of the republic. Due to this, military commanders were allowed to control most of the territory, creating powerful juntas that only now are being dissolved in favor of a civil rule.

While most of the ALA’s composition is comprised of guerrilla fighters, the main core of the army is formed by the remnants of the officers and soldiers that followed Nated in his coup attempt against the PRA. This grants them a supply of well trained combatants and mechanized divisions.

= History =

he origins of the Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai can be traced back to the armed coup against Rhagrrhuzau Hadii by Halkiikir Na'ted'Akhan. The failure in overthrowing the Hadii from power created the Adhomai Liberation Army, a rebellious force that had the mission of replacing leadership of the People’s Republic of Adhomai in hope of continuing Al’mari’s legacy.

All land taken by the Liberation Army was transferred to the control of military juntas under the watching eyes of the Supreme Commander Nated. In 2459, following the release of the updated ALA manifesto, the territories controlled by the rebels were coalesced into the Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai.

The transfer of power from the military juntas to the civil government was difficult, with many forces attempting to sabotage the young democracy. In January of 2461, Almrah Harrlala was elected as the Purrjar. Her ascension was contested by the military, the so-called Nated Supremacist Movement attempted a coup that was ultimately foiled by Nated himself, who appealed for the return of civilian state and then resigned his command.

The Democratic People's Republic has experienced military success in the Adhomian Civil War. Expelling the People’s Republic out of Das’nrra and securing a ceasefire with the New Kingdom of Adhomai.
