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.

==== ~~Legacy~~ ~~Party~~ ====

=== Esmiran Federation ===

Upon taking power, the Legacy Order proclaimed the Esmiran ~~State~~ 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.
