| History | |
Following Esmir's series of comprehensive expulsion of non-human intelligent species from 1965 to 1989, Esmir has remained a world leader in radical humanism. Since the 1990s, the Esmiran State’s unique insights regarding geopolitics have placed it in an interesting position. For the most part, it remains rigidly isolationist and militaristic while placing an emphasis on its Dahorianist anthropology, which remains the core of Esmiran political life. The country is exceedingly critical of the “seafaring empires” of the world, which it sees as individual projects of an antagonistic “thalassocratic object”. Esmir considers itself a “land empire”, to say that its territory being the subject of Esmiran reality reinforces its closed, associative quality, while the “seafaring empires” maintain the sea as the subject of the cosmopolitan reality, which reinforces the open and dissociative quality. The supreme leader of Esmir, officially the Chairman of the Legacy Party, is Aboa Habshi.
Esmir is a regional power due to its geostrategic location and expansive military capabilities, as well as its leading role in the Katharian faith. It is the leading member of the Rehmed Cooperation Association and a founding member of the International Human Organization.
