A Start to Summer

[Thaumantica]

Monthly, or perhaps quarterly, myself or one of the other mods will be taking the time to summarize the NSEurope world of RP. This summary will obviously neglect a few storylines, a few nations, and the valued efforts of several players. Do not take this as a negative appraisal of you or your contributions, because this summary was compiled by myself, and it may be me who is ignorant or misinformed to important RP arcs.

The Jurzan is currently under the governance of its President, Mirwais Ahmadzai, and its Supreme Chancellor, Delbar Achakzai. Ahmadzai and Achakzai are both immensely different from their predecessors, Zurab Nadarejshvili and Faraj Khayrat. They mark a significant change in Jurzani politics.

President Nadarejshvili worked on rebuilding the Jurzan’s image and uniting the people under the flag. He downplayed cultural differences and supported a secular government.

President Ahmadzai focuses on the modernization of Jurzan and uniting the people by common religion, Islam. He fails to gain any popularity in the Georgian Community, but that doesn’t bother him. Ahmadzai also worked to turn the Jurzani National Oil Company into an international economic force. Currently, the Jurzan is the chief supplier of oil to the RDTO and Danmark and has constructed oil pipelines in the Germanian League.

Ahmadzai came to power during the Vanguard Crisis, when leaders of the Adrari Socialist Party attempted to ban all other political parties. Ahmadzai stressed the importance of democracy and the power of the people, his fierce opposition won his party 30% of the General Assembly, to the ASP’s 31%. He also forged political coalitions with other parties, in doing so, he maintains a majority in the General Assembly. Ahmadzai calls for Sharia Law and the acceptance of Islam. He prides the nation on these principles and comes off as a man of the people, as a result of this, he is immensely popular with the people.

Supreme Chancellor Faraj Khayrat focused on organizing the Jurzani Military into a small, but capable force. He mainly relied on the RDTO’s military power to protect the country. Khayrat wanted a certain degree of isolationism, there were rumors he intended to make peace with Talemantros and normalize relations.

Achakzai doesn’t have an interest in normalizing relations with Talemantros. He is a strong believer in realpolitik and wants large armed forces. He wanted to decrease Jurzan’s dependence on foreign aid, especially Carentania. He took a strong stance against Carentania by using the military to seize the National Railway from Carentanian control and deployed troops to the border to stop Carentanians from illegally entering the country to protest Sharjah. Unlike Khayrat, he’s not interested in domestic policy; his only concern is the military and national security.

Often times, Ahmadzai eclipses Achakzai in the public image. Ahmadzai was once a “crazy nut” who was screaming from the sidelines, but now he serves as a very Nasser-like figure.

Currently, the Jurzan is pushing hard for economic development, investing heavily in an arms industry and manufacturing plants. Oil remains the backbone of the Jurzani Economy and that is unlikely to change. The Jurzani Government allowed Danmark to deploy ships to Jurzan in exchange for a deal that Danmark’s chief supplier of oil will be the Jurzan. The Jurzan is also building oil pipelines in the Germanian League and an independent pipeline in Danmark. The Government is currently trying to pass the Islamic Republic Amendment which will establish the Jurzan as an Islamic Republic and recognize Islam as its official religion. Once passed, Ahmadzai will begin to push through numerous reforms. Tensions between Jurzan and Talemantros continue to grow and now Liege, a Christian nation, is causing issues.

 

[Northern Cooperative Unions]

Boliatur has essentially been preparing for a conflict or assault by the forces of Yujin, a foreign neighbor and former enemy from the ancients. Yujin, seeing the threat from a new Post-Delegationist regime akin to that of Nokinawa, has basically threatened Boliatur with military force and various other interventions. Boliatur has received minimal support from neighbors, but much support from fellow Post-Delegationist parties around the world. Yujin has mobilized its reserves, but Boliatur can only preach that Yujin will invade in the hope that people will enlist for the Boliaturian Army. Because Post-Delegationism only has voluntary military service, the Citizen's Council has stated that foreigners and criminals can achieve citizenship at councils if they enlist.

The government and stability of Boliatur is still questioned, but industry and infrastructure have taken a turn upwards ever since the Boliaturian Pipeline was created among several different soils and various foreign companies working with Boliaturian denizens. By this point in the Post-Delegationism organization, Boliatur has essentially organized itself into several national assemblies with different says. First is the Citizen's Council, a group of one-hundred Boliaturian citizens who had been elected by the Citizens. Houses are essentially the same as the Citizen's Council, below and on a local level within a provincial system. The Houses are bases for towns, eg. House of Khavod, House of Mrysini, etc. The Housemen are voted in by the locals of a township.

By this point, Boliatur is administered by the Citizen's Council with Chairman Magleis Nodovinya holding a "judge" position. The real agenda of the entire citizenship is variable, but the government and citizens essentially intend to spread Post-Delegationism to neighboring countries in the future. However, the agenda does not apply to those of friendship or other democracies. (Not yet, at least.) The citizenry shows this agenda by terrorism in old enemies or the pogroms of Yujiners.
