People's Republic of Adhomai

Lead by President Njadrasanukii Hadii, the People’s Republic of Adhomai are considered the 'loyalist' faction on Adhomai and enjoy galactic recognition as the government of Adhomai. It claims to be the true keeper of Al’marii’s legacy. However, the PRA can be described as a Hadiist branch of Al’marii’s revolutionary ideology - that means putting the State at the top of a hierarchy of power. The PRA is a very centralized state, but in recent years has slowly been able to start making true its promises to bring revolution to the masses. With land reform, enfranchisement of women and peasantry, literacy initiatives, and the collectivization of farms and the means of production, the PRA is struggling to hold true to its radical ideals while an entrenched upper party stubbornly tries to hold onto power.

With a focus on expanding the Space Navy of Adhomai and ensuring greater prosperity for his supporters, Hadii has forced rapid modernization on the cities still in loyalist hands. The government's rule is marked by a lack of privacy, enthusiastic police and a pervasive secret police that leave privacy a nebulous concept to most Tajara. During the height of the war anyone suspected of supporting traitors or publicizing media critical of the Hadii faced harsh retribution, but these practices are becoming less pervasive as wartime zealotry fades. The PRA is often accused of making deal with crime families in major cities to help maintain peace and get a cut of the underworld's profits. In addition, the Parliament under President Hadii is criticized for being nothing more than a puppet, providing a rubber stamp to the extremely centralized office of the president. However, life under the government, while not free, can often be stable and safe when away from the conflict zones. Under the Republic, Tajara have more opportunities than they have had historically, with the Party investing heavily in its people. NanoTrasen continues to throw out large nets and bring in hundreds or even thousands of Tajara new employment opportunities in the galaxy as well as selling designs for ships and other space-faring aircraft to the People's Republic's Military. NanoTrasen is also accused of being very exploitative of Tajara laborers, but for many Tajara the company is their path to the adventure of the wider galaxy.

Economy

The People’s Republic of Adhomai uses the Credit as their main currency, with the adhomian knuckles and other local currencies being used sparsely in more remote regions.

Despite being largely rural, the People’s Republic is the faction with the most industrialized economy. While most vital industries are controlled by the government, private enterprise is still possible in the majority of the sectors, as long as the governmental permission is granted. The presence of NanoTrasen in the PRA territory is another important factor in the republican economic success, as the mega corporation offers countless opportunities to the tajaran population, besides the growth stimulated by their operations.

Towns and villages across the PRA are organized into collective farms that are worked on by an entire community. The farmers of these areas come together to form councils that act as a manager to oversee the work and harvest for that season, and to send reports and requests to the central government in Nal’tor. Nal’tor gathers all of the information provided by the farming councils - and all other economic data - and processes them through an older generation Artificial Intelligence purchased from the Republic of Biesel in 2459.

The government sends out directives for the villages to all grow different crops and offer equipment like tractors or government workers to help build new irrigation canals or roads. The farmer councils then negotiate with the government and can get compromises so that they are not simply forced to do something by the Party. They also do not compete with other regions. There is always a diverse yield produced every season, and rural communities enjoy democratic self-management. Profits from collective farms are distributed among the entire community. With no entrenched elite or corporate executives, and only needing to pay to fill the gas tanks of loaned farm equipment or vehicles, rural Tajara tend to live comfortably when they are insulated from the war. However, the simple life, while it may be fulfilling to many, leads other Tajara with a yearning to achieve more in life, or escape the rigid conservative life on the farm, to filter into the cities and then into space to find adventure in the greater galaxy.

Several welfare programs exists in Republican states. A common sight in the cities are communal apartment complexes with no rent, 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.

Culture

The Republican government seeks to create a single monolithic culture for the tajaran species under the ideological vision of Hadiism. The suppression of the ethnic caste system installed by the previous noble rule is one of the goals of the People’s Republic, that has been reached with little success, as such divisions are still deeply entrenched in the tajaran people. The republican culture places a large emphasis on the importance of the collective over the individual interest, with each tajara being seeing as a piece in the machinery of the tajaran society. PRA citizens are educated in the importance of preserving their union and how factionalism is dangerous to their own species.

Deviation from the established expectations can result in ostracization by the population and government. Regional identities and other alternatives trends are suppressed, deemed as subversive. Due to such, zhan communities are often persecuted by the authorities, and have an overall negative image before the eyes of the Republican mass. Loyalty to the Hadii party is a common trait among the citizens of the Republic, as much of the recent success and conquests of the tajaran species can be attributed to the popular leader Al’mari Hadii and his ideals. The fear of the secret service is also a present factor among the urban population of the PRA cities, even if their ways have become less pervasive as the war dragged on.

There is a stark difference in the life of the rural and the urban republican populations. Hadiists are inherently suspicious of urban Tajara, with their philosophers claiming that their cushier lives and access to education can turn them into ‘petty Njarir’akhran’. In contrast they emphasize the inherent purity and goodness of rural peasantry, who live an honest, simple life. In the cities the government’s presence is pronounced. There is a lack of privacy, enthusiastic police, and a pervasive secret police. In some areas Party ministers finance mafia families to help keep order and ensure a slice of profits from the bustling criminal underground make their way into the government’s coffers.

Cuisine

After the great war, the great majority of the land was confiscated from the nearly extinct Adhomian nobility and distributed among the peasant population. Complex agricultural projects and farms ran directly by the State were attempted. Early results were less than favorable and caused dissatisfaction in the rural population who chaffed under overbearing bureaucrats who skimmed their yields to sell on the black market. Al'marii Hadii attempted to break this up shortly before his assassination. Njadrasanukii Hadii took his brother's project on and allowed more freedom to the peasants while adopting modern human farming equipment offered by NanoTrasen. Mechanised agriculture is a growing phenomenon in the republic’s territory.

Traditional Dishes

While the People’s republic territory includes several different regional cultures, it is possible to find common culinary traditions among its population. Bread, baked with flour produced from a variation of the Blizzard Ears, is considered an essential part of a worker’s breakfast. Salt-cured Fatshouters’s meat also has been introduced widely, facilitated by the recent advances in the livestock husbandry techniques.

Victory Gin is considered the official drink of the People’s Republic of Adhomai, created to celebrate the end of the revolution. It is commonly found in NanoTrasen’s stations, due to a contract that allows the government to supply the corporation, and in the tajaran communities of Tau Ceti. The destruction of Victory Gin's bottles and reserves is widespread when republican positions and cities are taken by the opposition, because the drink is deemed by many as a symbol of the Hadii's regime.

Canned food and alien goods are a common sight in republican cities, imported by Solarian companies or NanoTrasen. The technological advances provided by the revolution allowed the population to have contact with more exotic dishes, besides granting more freedom of creation to tajaran chefs, now that electricity and refrigeration are not only restricted to the nobility.

Military Nutrition

The republican army is the best equipped among the warring factions of Adhomai, being supplied by NanoTrasen and other outworld supporters. Canned goods and modern rations are issued to all branches of the Republic’s military. Native field meals are composed of salt-cured Fatshouters’s meat, bread and Victory Gin, while imported ones are commonly found in the form of LiquidFood rations, a less than popular alternative manufactured by NanoTrasen.

Religion

The People’s Republic of Adhomai possess no official religion, being a secular state by its constitution. Most of the population identifies themselves as followers of the S'rand'marr Worship or the Ma’ta’ke pantheon. Irreligious and atheists tendencies are growing each day, as many Hadiists consider the traditional religion as fictitious chains created by the old Njarir masters to control their serfs.

Despise being in the territory of the PRA, the holy city of Sana Sahira enjoys a large degree of freedom from the centralized authority of the state. Foreign missionaries are permitted in the Republican territory, but their activity and presence is closely monitored by the authorities.

Language

Siik’maas is recognized as the official language of the People’s Republic of Adhomai, used in all official documents and taught in the schools. The use and learning of other tajaran languages, such as Siik’tajr and Delvahhi, is discouraged by the education system, that works to establish a single universal tongue for all of its citizens.

Government

The People’s Republic of Adhomai is considered a presidential republic with a single party system. The leadership and organization is extremely centralized, with all branches of the government and administration answering to the parliament and the president, Njadrasanukii Hadii. The president serves a twelve-years term while also having ample powers, such as being able to issue mandates or dissolve the parliament in cases of emergency. The Party of the Free Tajara under the Leadership of Hadii, also known as the Parizahra Zhahrazjujz Tajara Akzatauzjauna Azahrazakahuz Hadii, is the only and ruling party in the PRA, with its leader always being the elected president. They follow Hadiism as their main ideology, with the objective of securing the tajaran freedom and place in the galactic community.

Membership of the Hadiist Party is not open. For anyone to become a member, they must be approved by a committee that will consider their qualifications and past. Goverment officials can grant honorary memberships, this is seem as nothing but a honor and does not grant any status or position that a regular Party member would have.

Military

The People’s Republic Military is composed by the Grand People’s Army, the Republican Navy and the Orbital Fleet.

The Grand People’s Army is the ground army of the PRA, being composed by large divisions of motorized infantry and artillery teams. While being equipped with the best that the adhomian industry can provide, the Republican army suffers from low morale and lack of properly trained officers.

A draft was introduced in 2458, replacing the volunteer model-army, requiring all male tajara between 18-30 to enlist, unless they were able to pay a fee, prove that they are a member of the party or that they are employed under the NanoTrasen Corporation.

The Republican Orbital Fleet is the pride of the People’s Republic military, as it is the only space navy among the warring factions of Adhomai. While used to defend the system and impose a blockade against the other factions, the Fleet was able to extract a costly victory in a skirmish against Solarian forces in S’rand’marr.

History

The People’s Republic of Adhomai was established in 2432 as the sole ruling government in Adhomai. With the popular leader Rhagrrhuzau Hadii as their first president, they were able to enact deep reforms, such as the distribution of land, establishment of state schools and healthcare. Despite the recent changes, the planet of Adhomai was still bound to humanity and NanoTrasen, a relation that brought several benefits, but caused resentment among most supporters of the Hadiist ideology, as they believed that the tajaran species could only be truly free if they were allowed to make their own path without the interference of the alien.

In 2449, while the loyalist rebellion happened in the shadows, Al’mari decided to change his policy in regards to NanoTrasen. New economic policies unfavorable to NanoTrasen were enacted, alongside with the denunciations aimed towards humanity’s imperialism and the necessity of a free Adhomai. This new position caused discontentment among many that were gaining profit with the presence of the Megacorporation on the planet.

President Al’mari was assassinated in 2451, one year after royalist rebellion in Northren Harr'masir exploded. Al’mari’s brother, Malik Hadii, took over the office of the presidency, while rolling back the economic reforms implemented two years prior. The head of the armed forces, Nated'Hakhan, attempted a failed coup with the support of many other generals, triggering the creation of the Adhomai Liberation Army.

The following ten years were marked by the Second Tajaran Civil war; the conflict between the People’s Republic of Adhomai, the Adhomai Liberation Army and the New Kingdom of Adhomai. During this period, several authoritarian measures were enacted by the government, such as the establishment of working camps for subversive elements and the increasing percusion of the zhan population.

Despise the presence of a strong economy and modern army, the PRA find themselves in a disadvantageous position in the war, losing important territories and battles. Without the support of the Sol Alliance, lost due to their recent friction caused by their poor relations, many fear that the People’s Republic may not survive the upcoming years.
