'''Esmir''', officially the '''EsmiranImperial FederationEsmir''', is a country in Gondawa that spans across both sides of the Esmiri Strait. Throughout history. Esmir was largely dominated by Estamite faiths, often united under different dynasties. In 1910, the Sara Dynasty united much of modern Esmir’s borders under its control by annexing two of its vassal states.
 
Since the 1990s, the Esmiran Federation’sEsmir’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 [[Dahorianism|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 territory of the cosmopolitan reality, which reinforces the open and dissociative quality. The supreme leader of Esmir 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 Orthodox Katharian faith. It is the leading member of the Rehmed Cooperation Association and a founding member of the International People's Organization.

The collapse of the Tzruids saw the growth of the Holy Confederation which was renamed the Holy Empire in 227 BC. While the Holy Empire covered a good portion of modern Esmir, it was plagued by corruption and it was little more than a loose association of competing kingdoms that the church barely managed to control. Heterodoxy, Neo-Estamism, and a new heretical religion called "spiritualism" still continued to exist and even slowly gain ground in the Holy Empire throughout the years. Some scholars argue that the Holy Empire fizzled out of existence, and other scholars argue it never really existed as an entity in the first place. By 100 BC, all of the kingdoms of the Holy Empire were under the influence of the Cheshmej Dynasty, which continued to refer to itself as the "holy empire" even as the term was no longer used by the general populace. This would become a common theme among all dynasties to come.
 
Much of theVarious kingdoms of the Holy Empire would fly triangular flags of various colors. While none were officially adopted, the triangular design is rooted here.
 
==== Cheshmej Dynasty ====
Line 124 ⟶ 128:
The Peasant Uprising in 617 led to the founding of the Alo Yopa Republic. Land was redistributed to those that partook in the uprising. While the Orthodox Church supported the uprising, it did not support the republic that came after. Southern regions of Esmir did not recognize the republic nor the redistribution program and gave rise to five different kingdoms, each claiming to be the successor of the Cheshmej Dynasty thus calling themselves the Holy Empire. From 625 to 670, the Alo Yopa Republic became more defunct as warlords became impossible for the government to control. Durubi warlord Nyeshm I declared himself emperor after annexing two other states thus giving rise to the Dorhanic Empire in the east. It conquered southward while warlord states in the west were consolidated under the Irangan warlord Regra I. Both claimed to be the holy empire and while the Dorhanic Empire used it as a secondary title, Regra's empire used it as its first title. The west and east from this point onward remained divided. The west and east went through several successive competing dynasties all the way until 955, when the Muzki Dynasty of the west united Esmir once again. It was officially called Imperial Esmir.
 
==== Old Imperial Esmir ====
[[File:GreenFlag.png|thumb|Muzki Flag of Imperial Esmir]]
Imperial Esmir, like the dynasties that came before it, continued to centralize the civilization under the state apparatus, introducing the civil service exam and finally standardizing a new alphabet for Esmiri, which up until then used Hamayan letters. Unlike the Cheshmej Dynasty, Imperial Esmir was extremely intolerant of outsiders. All residents that could not feasibly claim heritage from the ancient Irapkas were expelled, and while many humans could simply lie about their heritage, it wasn't as easy for non-human intelligent species, which were probably expelled in the tens of thousands. They were pushed to "trade zones" of cities and were only allowed to be merchants on top of having to pay an extra tax to the government. Imperial Esmir officially adopted the well-known triangular flag in 1227 which would be in off-and-on use throughout its history.

===== West Esmir & East Esmir =====
Because warlord states, kingdoms, and the colonizers alike kept claiming the land of peasants, the Second Peasant Uprising began in 1816 in the east and resulted in Lapinumbian work sites being raided. Soon after, the Orthodox Church ordered an incursion and the knights freed the majority of Esmir's indentured servants in the east. It became the strategy of the Lapinumbians overtime to focus on consolidating the western portion of Esmir instead of the east, which proved significantly less risky and thus more profitable. The knights successfully united the east by 1866 under the Sara Dynasty which became the RepublicEsmiri ofNational EsmirRepublic in 1881 before the Sara Dynasty was promptly restored in another incursion that same year.
 
=== ModernEarly modern era ===
In 1884, West Esmir's borders were demarcated by the colonial authority. During a visit to Portaloy, Governor-General Thomess was assassinated by a knight. Knights descended upon the colony from the mountains, liberating peasants who joined the ranks of the knights as they marched eastward toward work camps and destroying supply routes along the way. The Lapinumbians were completely driven out by 1890 as forces landed on the shores from the east, finally breaching the Lapinumbian Empire's naval formations along the strait. As they were driven out, Lapinumbian flags were burned and Lapinumbians abandoned during the withdrawal were sent to work camps for the rest of their lives, usually in treacherous conditions. Two vassal states were created in the west. In 1910, the Sara Dynasty annexed the western vassals, officially reuniting Esmir under one flag. In 1933, there was a failed attempt at a seizure of power from liberal elements within the House of Sara that resulted in a large-scale conflict between loyalists and supporters of the ‘opposite faction’. While this faction was swiftly defeated within the House of Sara, the wave of political dissidence only continued to get stronger as supporters began to rally behind the new Republican Party.
 
==== Republican period ====
[[File:Republic of Esmir.png|thumb|188x188px|Flag of Esmir (1945-1950)]]
In 1945, the military forced Emperor Tetbe’s abdication, leading to the Republic of Esmir. The republic suffered food shortages and political turmoil during its short-lived existence until 1947 when leftists in the military launched another coup and established the Socialist Republic of Esmir. In response to the socialist takeover, and anonymous writer published ''State & Civilization'' under the pseudonym Edho Dahorian. The book, which opposed all ideologies and instead presented a concrete psychogeographical, sociopolitical, phenomenological, and ontological analysis that was at its core existentialist while borrowing from the “ideologies” of the world, “having discarded their delusions for content”. In 1948, the Legacy Order was established in Alo Yopa by university students in the church. While it was at first a group composed of thinkers on the fringe of Esmiran politics, the organization capitalized off of a wave of discontentment with the socialist regime from 1953 onward. Still, it continued to grow in popularity and began participating in protests, charity programs, and self-sufficiency initiatives for farming communities across the country. Between 1953 and 1957, the Legacy Order prepared its armed forces for an insurrection. Government intelligence uncovered the plot in 1957 and managed to capture then-leader Mautin Stuye, who was swiftly executed. Tbebe Serul, Stuye’s right-hand man, took his position as chairman of the Legacy Order and immediately began the insurrection against the socialist authority. The Orthodox Church, having been banned by the socialist regime, pledged moral support for the Legacy Order.

==== Aramha regime ====
In 1965, then-president and secretary-general of the ruling Workers’ Party was placed on house arrest by the military and replaced with Ujune Aramha, minister of transport. His regime maintained socialist aesthetics but was considered a nationalist leader. His nationalist tendencies led to a split in the Workers’ Party which prompted political purges and repressions for years up until 1971, when he was pressured by his cabinet to liberalize. Aramha died in 1973 and his son, Iruyo Aramha, was placed as his successor. Unlike his father, Iruyo was deeply unpopular and was overthrown by insurrectionary forces the year after.
 
=== EsmiranDahorianist Federationtakeover ===
Upon taking power, the Legacy Order proclaimed the EsmiranImperial FederationEsmir in 1974. The former Workers’ Party was completely purged by the Dahorianists and was merged into the Legacy Order, which was renamed the Legacy Party. Being openly anti-democracy, Serul rejected the notion of a popular election. Instead, he instituted “reconciliatory totalitarianism”. While the socialist republic depended on the largely progressive urban intelligentsia and the secularist segment of the working class, Serul appealed to the peasants and conservative elements of the working class. In 1977, Serul began to institute academic reform, which eventually coalesced into the Technical Revolution (1977-1989). The Technical Revolution Revolution saw the complete rejection of the “thalassocratic” philosophical tradition. Academists, scientists, politicians, and students were sent to the countryside to “realize” the masses. This has a profound effect on the sciences even today, as academics and politicians are expected in Esmir’s political culture to “get their hands dirty”. A surge in cinema, art, and poetry resulted from this stage of Technical Revolution. The second stage involved a “reengagement” with technology: a renewed understanding of the culture’s relation to technology according to territorial interests and underlying territorial cosmology. Having spent the former half of the Technical Revolution persecuting academia and even to some extent the use of technology, Serul used the second half to breathe new life into it. Serul died in 1988 and the Technical Revolution ended a year later.
 
==Politics==
[[File:LPP.png|thumb|Depiction of Legacy Party Flag]]
Esmir functions as a federalunitary one-party totalitarian dictatorship. According to its constitution, it is a non-democratic federationpolity of statesprovinces under the supervision of the supreme leader who is directly held accountable by the people via the [[Legacy Party]], which is guided by the Dahorianist political science. No other political parties are permitted and no elections take place among commoners. The Legacy Party doubles as a thinktank-militia organization, just like its roots. Members engage with the Dahorianist philosophy and learn about its resulting anthropology. Members climb the ranks both by doing community service and by writing analysis.
 
Relevant administrative entities are summoned by the supreme leader to the federal council. This includes major companies in primary industries.

{{Main|Dahorianism}}
[[File:Stuye.jpg|thumb|Mautin Stuye, Former Leader of the Legacy Order]]
[[Dahorianism]] is the state philosophy of Esmir. The brand of Dahorianism that meets the particularities of Esmir can sometimes be stylized as Dahorianism-Stuyeism. Adherents of the philosophy believe that the subject of politics is not class, state, nor ego, but ''existence itself'' in therebeing—a conscious person reckoning with community, environment, class, and death (neither collective nor individual). From an existential point of view, this makes organized religion important, because it allows for a cultural default to be set in therebeing. However, there is an ontological basis as well. Dahorianists argue that necessary existence relies on some infinite substance and that for something to truly be substantial it has to negate the negation of direct infinity, meaning that the negation of direct infinity in free will actually contributes to a predetermined outcome. Many contradictions are built upon these positions and negations, which in actuality are one in the same having appeared to the subject as two resulting from the negation. To Dahorianists, the [true] peasant is the archetype of a man that ''is there'' or consciously exists. The peasant seeks self-sufficiency, reckons with his realities, is conscious of his class interest, and tends to be traditional. Tradition is found on the ground as opposed to the cloud of ideas; therebeing reveals the particularities that serve as a basis to tradition, as the purpose of tradition itself is to reckon the people with the realities of the land. Thus, traditionalism most efficiently resolves these contradictions that rear their head everywhere.
 
Dahorianists contend with liberalism, cosmopolitanism, and democracy as a whole because these are ''thalassocratic'' and exist only in the ideal. Instead of being rooted in a human reckoning with land, these phenomenon are rooted in the open seas. The sea empire looks to the cloud of ideas as it seeks to grasp at these ideas to find an excuse to impose an open regime on the peoples it conquers, as opposed to a closed regime based on the traditional particularities that must be shared with the conqueror in order for a true incorporation of a peoples to take place in a manner that is at all beneficial to both parties let alone the conqueror. What the sea empire is not conscious of is that it sacrifices its therebeing in the open seas, adopting the fluidity of water in its philosophy and serving as the foundation for oppressive international finance.
 
But out of good arises the bad and out of bad arises the good. In this super open post-modernity is rooted a rejection of the open quality itself. For instance, the projects of thalassocracy have inadvertently given rise to great land empires, as is the case with Esmir. Through this inadvertently furnished land spirit, true historicity with the civilization that really exists can be found, and therebeing is pursued.
 
According to its constitution, the imperial tradition is the state ideology (the philosophy being put into practice) of Esmir. The brand of Dahorianism that meets the particularities of Esmir is sometimes be stylized as Dahorianism-Stuyeism by analysts, domestic and foreign. In principle, it distinguishes Esmir as its own land empire and humanity.
 
===Administrative divisions===
[[File:EsmirStates.png|thumb|StatesProvinces of the Esmiran FederationEsmir]]
The Esmiran FederationEsmir is composed of 12 statesprovinces, 5 municipalities, and 14 autonomous people's councils. All 31 of these entities are under the supervision of the supreme leadership and have their own branch of the Legacy Party as parties in of themselves and form the federal council.
 
When a supreme leader dies in office or resigns, they can tap a successor, who must then be approved by the Legacy Party by at least 65% of the membership. If they are not accepted, an internal election is held for the next supreme leader.
States are led by presidents but are not defined as republics. Instead, presidents act as autocrats and are held directly accountable to their people through their state's branch of the Legacy Party. While certain states have certain specifications, they are generally responsible for appointing a state minister, which acts under the president's permission to appoint ministers throughout the government. All of the presidents make up the presidium, which is headed by a presidial chief. The presidial chief is appointed by the supreme leader with the permission of the presidium itself (via an election) and helps guide the presidium to coordinate cooperation between the states in political, economic, and cultural domains. The presidium makes itself accountable to the federal council as opposed to each state doing so in name. Individual states may be called to represent themselves if requested by the supreme leader.

Municipalities are cities with their own government directly accountable to the supreme leadership instead of going through a state. This status is reserved for cities of strategic importance, such as the capital.

Autonomous people's council is a status reserved for groups without permanent territory (generally nomadic tribes) that are granted representation by the supreme leadership.

===Law enforcement and internal security===
Esmir has a unique civil law system based on the imperial model and influenced by Dahorianist legal theory. Judiciary procedures are handled by community struggle sessions, municipal courts, the church, and the Supremeimperial Courtcourt. Justice is handled by the community in a struggle session until a party involved in the case requests for a higher court, as the right to a higher court is a constitutional right. Judges are appointed by chapters of the Legacy Partyparty.
 
The Directory of Internal Affairs maintains the most law enforcement activities. It is one of the most powerful federal institutions in Esmir and oversees the Federal Police Force, investigates major cases, and co-manages correctional facilities along with the Orthodox Church. The DIA also oversees fire departments, traffic control, and tailroad security. It is said to also conduct counterintelligence and intelligence operations abroad.
 
Much of Esmir's foreign policy is based on the Dahorianist concept of geopolitics, leading to sympathies for "closed societies", or societies with a transhistorical tradition based on social-geographical conditions. This allows Esmir to maintain close relations with countries that are ideologically diverse, such as [[Hlenderia]].
 
===Military===
{{Main|Imperial Army of Esmir}}
{{Main|Esmiran Armed Forces}}The Esmiran Armed Forces are estimated to be comprised of around 150,000 active duty troops and over a million reservists, giving Esmir one of the world's highest percentage of citizens with military training. Members of the military often receive employment benefits and are given free university education. Some reservists join paramilitary orders under the church.

Esmir has been identified as a regional military power due owing to its geostrategic location and the capabilities of its armed forces.
