Es de reciente data la concentración de poder político alcanzada por Morena. Eso incide en la actuación de sus miembros. En él hay dos clases de políticos: los de origen priista y aquellos que, por haber actuado al margen del aparato gubernativo, no estaban acostumbrados a obedecer. Los políticos formados en la disciplina priista no han tenido dificultad en adaptarse al nuevo amo; saben obedecer y disciplinarse. Los otros, con sus asegunes, aunque lamen el yugo, no se han acostumbrado a él. Son la excepción y pocos. El poder y las canonjías que su ejercicio implica son la mejor escuela para aprender los rudimentos de la disciplina. Obedecer, y obedecer bien, deriva de la costumbre. Nadie nace dócil; no es natural obedecer. Son la educación, los castigos y los premios los que permiten el sometimiento.

The degree of the Party's concentration of power is a recent development. This has an effect in the attitudes of its members. Within Party structures there are two types of politicians: those with origins in the NRF and those that, by virtue of having been outside the government apparatus, are not accustomed to obedience. Politicians formed in the NRF tradition of discipline have had no difficulty in adapting to the new masters; they know how to obey and be disciplined in their actions. The others, while being under the same yoke, are not used to it. Power and the perks that come with exercising it provide the best schooling on the rudiments of discipline. To obey, and obey well, is the product of routine. No one is born docile; obedience is not natural. It is education, and the use of the carrot and the stick that enable subjugation.

==Notions for a national political/moral/cultural guiding ideology==
Names: The Golden Path, Eternal Mandates, Zhangwo, tablets of the brilliant mandates, mastery of the material
===general description===
Zhangwo or Mastery of the Material is the guiding national ethos of the [[Corummese people]] and State. It is a belief in the superior cultural, moral and racial worth of Corummese people and their special place in the history of not just [[Alshar]] but the world. The term Zhangwo was coined by the First Minister and philosopher Heian Xiujian in a treatise describing the foreign policies of the Yang dynasty and his justifications of external conquest by claiming the material world as the divinely granted inheritance of the Corummese race. Later intellectuals sponsored by various dynasties would further expound on notions of racial and cultural superiority veering on arrogance and xenophobia, ideas that further seeped into the public consciousness upon contact with non Corummese polities such as the expansionist Muslim caliphates, nomads from the northern plains and western explorers.

==Levantine Exploration==
Kiravian explorers were the first "occidentals" to make contact with the peoples of modern Rusana however from their introduction in the 1500s to the establishment of the Martillian Protectorate over the Kingdom of Lakadu it was often overlooked compared to the riches of Daxia. The Ularien Trading Company of Martilles first established contact with the Kingdom of Lakadu in 1616. With Kiravias well established trade with Daxia for far eastern goods the Martilliens negotiated a treaty with the Lakadui to secure ports at first for raiding Kiravian shipping as it passed westerward, laden with Daxian goods but eventually the privateers sought more. They obverved the resentments that the Lakadui held for their neighbors in Barpubad and offered to supply them with mercenaries and to instruct their armies in the lessons learned from the Great Confessional War. Throughout the 1620s and 30s the Lakadui and Barpubadi clashed in minor skirmishes in which the Lakadui became increasingly victorious. While the Levantines did not offer a superiour military product their doctrine of war was so foreign to that part of the world that it proved shocking to the Barpubadi. In a series of violent battles the Lakadui made massive gains into the islands south of Barpubad's coast. These islands long contested between Barpubad and Daxia were captured and an emissary was dispatched to the Emperor's court and a back to the King in Lakadu. In a master stroke the Martillien mercenaries sold the inner ring of islands to Daxia and formally opened relations with that nation, and also demonstrated to the King of Lakadu what could be achieved if he remanded more power to the Martilliens. In this masterstroke the Martilliens secured their future in the region and became friendly with the greatest power in Alshar, Daxia. Whereas the Kiravians were merely traders, the Martilliens offered concrete results to the Imperial Daxian Court. In 1650, the Kingdom of Lakadu was formalized as a protectorate of the Duchy of Martilles. This was only possible by brokering a treaty with the Daxian Court that recognized its sovereignty and promised to support Daxia in the event of an invasion from Barpudad, Ghanim, or the as yet unexplored Tanhai. For as long as the southeast coast Levantines maintained colonies in the area they respected this treaty, one of the only in that time.
With the Great Slavery Revolt on the western shores of Alshar the various colonial administrators had to make a choice as the revolt became a full-scale war, one that the Levantine colonists were losing badly. Would they cast their lot in with their fellow colonists, draining the defensive resources from their own colonies, ignore the plight of their brethren, try to balance both, or abandon their colonial ambitions altogether. The viceroy of Pyrithi Colony attempted to find a balance.
