Xisheng: Difference between revisions

===Politics===

* '''Association of Daxian Mobilized Committees'''- The Association is a body that has its origins on groups of self defense by [[Daxia]]n settlers during the Qian colonization, previously known as the Association of Daxian Settlers on Xisheng. Its members usually had basic weapons training to defend their communities from native Cronan attacks and also served as auxiliaries for Qian regular troops during conflict. After the Qian era and the start of the regional political primacy by the [[Army of Conquest]], the association was allowed to keep their weapons provided they helped with the suppression of dissidents. The association achieved an official recognition of their armed role in with the introduction of the Law on Special State Formations in 1959; it renamed the association and gave it a legal basis for existing as an armed body under state supervision. This status was accepted by the new [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PDD]] governments in exchange for increased surveillance of the association and the integration of its leadership cadres into the Party. The practical result from this is by the late 2010's the party structure in Xisheng has itself been colonized as more association members become card carrying party members. The association's influence is felt in various local party organs that are of importance in crafting policy, they are especially active in curtailing the sovereign powers awarded to the autonomy zones of [[Chimoche]] and [[Ixa'Taka]]. They have also been pushing internally for central government permission to settle parts of the [[Zanoma Regional Administration]], territory that is officially part of [[Varshan]].

*'''Coordinating Council of Fig Producers'''- The Coordinating Council of Fig Producers (CCFP) is one of the leading private enterprise groupings of Xisheng, pulling together the largest fig producers of the state, as such it holds a great degree of economic influence. As part of the Party's consolidation of power, economic groups like the CCFP were invited to add their input on economic matters; they were also invited to discreetly fund party activities in exchange for government contracts. Through strategic donations and establishing personal relations with people in key bureaucratic positions the CCFP has achieved a chokehold on the province's economic and tax policies. It is their influence that has been blocking the entrance of fruit imports from the [[Zanoma Regional Administration]] as council figures argue they would unfairly disadvantage local producers. The CCFP is only occasionally aligned with the Association of Daxian Mobilized Committees, the latter represents many small agricultural cooperatives as opposed to the council being a representative of the interests of large, industry-leading companies.
