Rise of Manoush Nationalism
November 5643
[Backdated]
After last month's coup and the fall of the Malivian People's Federation of Councils at the hands of far-right organization Amaro Drom, the constitutional structure and ideological foundation of post-coup Malivia has taken shape. Basing its claim to legitimacy on extreme Manoush nationalism, Amaro Drom aims to establish a state dedicated to the defense and promotion of Manušipen (literally Manoush-ness), the traditions, clothing, language, and way of life that historically defined belonging to the Manoush nation. The State of Malivia (Them Maliviya) is the new sovereign entity ruling over Malivian territory as of this month, and it is a Manoush supremacist and ultranationalist state founded with the explicit aim of ridding Malivia of Gadjo (non-Manoush) influence and restoring Manoush culture, supposedly tainted by the slavish adoption of Vascanian traditions during past centuries, themselves replacing the Dundorfian influence that had dominated Malivia in the past, and both thoroughly condemned by the new state.
Kalo Śukar, the leader of Amaro Drom and who came to power during the coup, has had his authority formalized under the newly established office of the Rom Baro (literally "Great Man"), a traditional title used among nomadic Manoush, primarily in Artania, but virtually unheard of in Malivia itself. Historically the Rom Baro is the leader of one of the nomadic Manoush tribes (vitsya), elected for life and responsible for upholding Manušipen and acting as a liaison with Gadjo authorities. Though a traditional Rom Baro serves for life, he is subject to oversight by the kris, a tribal court, and may even be deposed for crimes against the Manušipen. Malivia's Rom Baro will suffer no such restrictions. Claiming himself a saviour of sorts of Malivia's Manoush, Kalo Śukar enjoys absolute unchecked power, with an authority that goes far beyond anything prescribed in Manoush culture. This dictatorial takeover, while celebrated by those discontent with the dysfunctional and decentralized socialism of the Federation of Councils, is not without its critics. Though opposition to the new regime is being repressed, it is clear that not all Malivians welcome this new ultranationalist regime. Apart from the Gadjo minorities, targets of the State's ire, many non-Kavlari Manoush also find their specific traditions sidelined by the government's promotion of what it perceives as "pure" Manušipen. The Lalé minority specifically, due to its use of a language other than Manoush, instead speaking the Selucian-influenced Laló language, have expressed concern that their language and traditions may find themselves suppressed under the new order. So far, however, open dissent has been sporadic and limited. That may change should the government continue to uphold its hardline stance.
