Kelekona: Difference between revisions

In that same year, the country was plunged into a devastating civil war between the ruling [[United Front for the Independence of Kelekona]], supported by [[Urcea]], [[Burgundie]], and many other Occidental powers, the socialist insurgent [[People's Front of Kelekona]], and the social nationalist insurgent [[Kelekonese People's Front]]. The victory of the People's Front in 1977 led to the establishment of an {{wp|authoritarian}} [[Socialist Republic of Kelekona|socialist republic]] that lasted for eleven years until it was overthrown by right-wing military elements in 1988. The country remained under the rule of a {{wp|totalitarian}} [[State of Kelekona|military junta]] until it was overthrown by the [[Yellow Revolution]] in 2002; the revolution was partially triggered by the junta's heavy oppression of the minority [[Azstranipi]] peoples and its tight grip on the economy. The fall of the junta led to the rise of the short-lived [[Free Republic of Kelekona]], an experiment in {{wp|minarchism}} and {{wp|objectivism}}. The minarchist republic's loss to Arcerion in the third [[Telekonese Conflict]] in 2007 led to a second coup in 2009, bringing forth a [[Union of Kelekona|democratic republic guided by the military]]. A migrant crisis that occurred during the [[Final War of the Deluge]] would lead to the collapse of the Kelekonan economy and the stratocratic democracy which was soon overthrown in 2025 by [[Fall of Maktalin (2025)|qhapaqists]].  

Kelekona is rich in {{wp|natural resources}}, although its economy has remained stagnant due to recent political instability, a lack of infrastructure, and societal tensions discouraging wide-scale development. Much of Kelekona's development had mainly occurred during the years prior to the collapse of the minarchist government in 2009, although this growth was extremely uneven and was largely undone due to Arcer attacks during the Third Telekonese Conflict in 2007; what little development that had occurred during the years of the 2009 junta have been undone thanks to the Second Kelekonese Civil War in the 2020s. Standards of living remain low for most Kelekonans - even more so as the country handles a migrant crisis on the scale of millions, itself triggered by the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. This has effectively made Kelekona one of the most decentralized governments in the world as the central government in Maktalin has been largely unable to consolidate its control over the entirety of Kelekona, in turn resulting in the formation of local, ''de-facto'' civilian councils to handle local affairs outside of Maktalin and the state of Mayusuyu, the only region in Kelekona that the central government has been able to completely consolidate its control over and thus makes it the only fully-functional part of the country.

Asides from the brutal methods of repressing protests against the regime, the military junta was also noted for being highly {{wp|ethnocentric}} in nature, believing that only people of North Songun ancestry were "true Kelekonese" and that the nation's [[Azstranipi]] minority, people of Varshani ancestry who have lived in Kelekona and the preceding Kelezuno tributary state since the late 16th Century, were at fault for the centuries of decline that the North Songun civilization had suffered under. With that, the junta began to heavily persecute the Azstranipi through forced displacements and {{wp|internment camps}} while confiscating their possessions to distribute them to loyal supporters of the regime. The actions against the Azstranipi garnered even more international condemnation, with many calling it an ethnic cleansing given the nature of the persecutions. It was also during this time that a group of internationally-educated students formed an opposition group known as the ''[[Dawn of Liberty Party|Pakariyninqispikaykawpayphatma]]'' (PQK), a political party heavily influenced by {{wp|right-libertarian}} ideologies from the Occident such as {{wp|night-watchman state|minarchy}} and ''{{wp|objectivism|paqtachismu}}'' ("objectivism"), the latter of which was developed by Kelekonese philosopher [[Ninasisa Pariwana]] during the socialist era.
