Estado Social (Rumahoki): Difference between revisions

The '''''Estado Social''''' ("New State") was the {{wp|corporatism|corporatist}} [[Rosaria|Rosarian]] and, from 1976, [[Delepasian Commonwealth|Delepasian]] state installed in 1938. It evolved from the ''[[Dictadura Perfecta]]'' ("Perfect Dictatorship") formed after the [[14 July 1919 coup d'état|''coup d'état'' of 14 July 1919]] against the unstable [[Rosarian Republic|First Rosarian Republic]]. Together, the ''Dictadura Perfecta'' and the ''Estado Social'' are recognised by historians as the '''Second Rosarian Republic'' ([[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]]: ''Segunda República Rosariana''). The ''Estado Social'', being greatly inspired by {{wp|conservatism}} and {{wp|autocracy|autocratic}} ideologies, was developed by [[Fernando Pascual]], who was the [[Prime Minister of Rosaria]] from 1933, and [[Prime Minister of Delepasia]] from 1976, until illness forced him out of office in 1988.

Greatly opposed to the ideologies of {{wp|communism}}, {{wp|socialism}}, {{wp|syndicalism}}, {{wp|anarchism}}, {{wp|liberalism}}, and anti-Levantism, the regime was conservative, {{wp|corporatism|corporatist}}, {{wp|nationalism|nationalist}}, and [[Delepasian exceptionalism|exceptionalistic]] in nature, defending [[Religion in Rumahoki|Rosaria's, and eventually Delepasia's, traditional Catholicism]]. It policy envisaged the perpetuation of the [[Delepasians|Delepasian]] people being the most "civilised" and thus was the supposed source of civility to all of [[Vallos]] in general, and to the [[Loa people|Loa]] in particular since 1976 and the integration of the [[Navidadian System]], an idea which dates back to the early 20th Century as the [[Delepasian Kingdom]] became highly romanticised. To that end, Rosaria generally sought relations with its fellow Delepasian polities, the fruits of which being the eventual [[Pact of Eighteen]].

Rosaria, like all other Delepasian polities, was a member of the [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]] (LOTA) since its founding, and thus was involved in the [[Second Great War]] on the side of the [[Levantia|Levantines]], and was a founding member of the [[League of Nations]] since its formation in 1955. As Delepasia, the ''Estado Social'' regime was well on its way towards becoming an observer state of the [[Vallosian Economic Association|VEA]] by 1987. In 1988, [[Nicolas Torres]] was appointed prime minister, replacing an aged and debilitated Pascual; he continued to pave the way towards economic integration with Vallos and a higher level of economic liberalisation in the country, achieving the signing of an important free-trade agreement with the VEA in 1992.

From 1976 until Pascual's death in 1990, Delepasia under the ''Estado Social'' saw its GDP per capita increase at an annual average rate of 6.9 per cent. Despite the remarkable economic growth, and economic convergence, by the fall of the ''Estado Social'' in 1994, Delepasia still had the lowest per capita income and the lowest literacy rate in Vallos (although this also remained true following the fall, and continued until the 2000s). On 30 April 1994, the [[Velvet Revolution]] in [[Santa Maria]], a military coup organised by left-wing Delepasian military officers – the [[Democratic Revival Society]] (SDR) – led to the end of the ''Estado Social'' and the Delepasian Commonwealth.

Since the turn of the 19th Century, there was a growing national sentiment amongst the populace of the [[Viceroyalty of Los Rumas]]. For about three centuries, many of the viceroyalty's colonists saw themselves as one of two groups: [[Pelaxians]] or Mestizos. The former living near coastal areas, and the latter further inland. The rise of a Delepasian identity began when author [[Juan Guerrero]] wrote in 1797: "''Hace trescientos años, el intrépido héroe Mauricio Delepas plantó la bandera de Pelaxia en el hermoso dominio de Delepasia. Nosotros, los delepasianos, deberíamos desarrollar una identidad separada de Pelaxia, una identidad en la que abracemos la única fe verdadera sin importar si nuestros antepasados fueron pelaxianos, cartadanianos, latinos o los Vallosi, mitificados durante mucho tiempo.''" ("Three hundred years ago, the dauntless hero Mauricio Delepas planted Pelaxia's flag on Delepasia's fair domain. We Delepasians ought to develop an identity separate from Pelaxia, an identity where we embrace the one true faith without regard towards whether our forefathers were Pelaxian, Cartadanian, Latins, or the long-mythologised Vallosi.").
