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 government faced harsh retribution, but these practices are becoming less pervasive as wartime zealotry fades. The government 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 government 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.

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 common factor among the urban population of the PRA cities, even if their ways have become less pervasive as the war dragged on.

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 government. 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 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.

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.
