In recent months, almost two years after the coup, the regime of Marshall Abdurashid Yüknäki and the Homeland Security Council has begun to implement wide administrative reforms. The first move was approval of the Homeland Administration and Stabilisation Act, restructuring the governing HSC into a new Administrative Military Committee with an even wider range of powers, thus completing the transformation into a stratocracy. The AMC has proceeded to completely reform the structure of the 11 provinces of Utaristan, creating the Western Provinces General Administrative Military District, Central Utaristan and Greater Cise General Administrative Military District, and the Eastern Utaristan General Military District, which consist of various Local Administrative Military Districts, equivalent to old provinces, creating subdivisions such as the Kotanmosir Local Administrative Military District.
Following the establishment of a more permanent structure for the new regime, several factions have crystallised within the AMC and its aligned Administrative Party of Utaristan. The strongest factions are the Stratocrats, led by Marshall Yüknäki, who believe in imposing their vision of an apolitical military government upon Utaristan, and the Idealists, a coalition of liberals who believe this is a golden opportunity to reshape Utaristan into a proper institutional multi-party democracy. Among fringe factions belongs the Kaliburg Clique, a coalition of people inspired by the political system of the Empire of Ananto and Kalistan, who believe Utaristan should be transformed into a state with strong institutional autocracy, at the cost of political rights, but providing citizens with wide civic liberties. Another fringe faction is the Federal Coalition, a grouping that believes that the central government should be weakened and that the provinces of Utaristan should be given wide autonomy.
So far it appears that Yüknäki's clique maintains secure dominance; however, that could quickly change, especially if Yüknäki fails to stabilise the situation in the Western Provinces. The recorded number of attacks against government infrastructure in Kotanmosir, Utarigawa, and Utarimark, the three provinces generally considered to form the geographical term 'Western Provinces', has risen razantly over the last year and 4 months since Yüknäki's coup. Since the coup, the People's Liberation Militia, an armed splinter of the Dovani and Communist Party of Utaristan from which it has split over disagreement over electoral politics, has formed a coalition with the Dovani Century Revolutionary Corps, a remnant of the old pan-Dovanist far-left Dovani Century Movement which merged into the DCPU years ago, and the Utari People's National Army, a far-left nationalist Utari separatist, into the Armed Revolutionary Popular Front of Utaristan. While the ARPFU is strong in urban centres and some rural areas, it is contested by the New Hulstrian Army Faction, an armed wing of the Hosian and Hulstrian Party, in the west, as well as the Ahmadi Army of Ashkerstan in the east. In urban areas the ARPFU has formed an alliance with a revolutionary liberal militia known as Brigade of 5634, referring to the Utaristani Spring.
Even though the Yüknäki government remains in control through most of the country, the situation could deteriorate, especially if foreign powers like Xsampa or Bianjie decide to take concrete steps against the regime.
