Specism: Difference between revisions

[[Kæra'zna]] is a self-identified species-centric state which practices a systematic form of species-based discrimination known As Collective Purity which exists against the historical backgrop of centuries of discrimination. Animosity against the Nekomimi is believed to date to antiquity within the area that comprises modern-day Kæra'zna with pejorative terms such as Ryn'ul being used against them. During the Ny'sæk Empire, Nekomimi were excluded from political and cultural life with a judicial system that threatened collective punishment for communities that did not comply with sentences against Nekomimi's it convicted of criminal activity.

Despite an anti-specism movement among Z'rei, Nekomimi were forced to have their own churches and Z'rei faced stigmatisation for their activism. When Fly'ra'du-Øzna was crowned Emperor following the overthrow of the Monarchy by an attack on Zhar'osyk in 1709 by the Ry'uk army, specist policies were gradually reversed. Nevertheless, reforms were circumscribed by rebellions of the Az'ra such as the Wars of Reclamation (1734-1762) whereby the Z'rei-led empire was usurped and replaced with an Az'ra-dominated state and the drastic reduction of the Nekomimi population. Despite attempted reforms in the 19th and 20th century, during the Kæra Republic, institutions formed such as the [[Fundamental Doctrinaires]] and [[Cult of Absolute Purity]] which advocate for and have entrench specist principles in the political, economic and social systems (to varying extents).
