Naruist Azkali

Naruist Azkali describes the period of Azkali history between Karomiko 11, 10,839 (September 24, 2023) and Angapizkea 20, 10,840 (February 26, 2024), when Korru Naru and the Yellow Dragon Society narrowly won the Karomiko 11 Azkali presidential election, called by then Azkali president Chei Nakathinai. One month before the election, the ruling Azkali Peoples' Party (AKR) fractured, with the Socialist Party of Azkali (IRA), the National Party of Azkali (NRA), and Democratic Party (KR) nominating their own candidates. In the resulting election, in combination with sabotage efforts by the Yellow Dragon Society to feed votes from smaller parties to itself, Korru Naru was narrowly elected to the presidency by a margin of 15,703 votes (0.21 percent); counting only votes for the Yellow Dragon Society itself, Naru's margin of victory was only 491 votes (0.01 percent). Under Naru's rule, Azkali was transformed from an unstable presidential republic into a totalitarian dictatorial monarchy, which commited genocide against Azkalis and various minority groups in Azkali and caused the eradiction of human prescence in Azkali, waged war against Sunteria, commited mass ecocide and delibrately burned millions of acres of the Azkali Rainforest, and ultimately attempted to achieve anarcho-primitivism by the destruction of Azkali society at large.

History

Naruist seizure of power

Chei Nakathinai was elected in the Kuoke 10,839 election on 25 Kuoke (25 January), decisively defeating incumbent Turruist Peoples' Party (TKR) president Ari Hirata. Under a self-described Nakathinaist economic policy, Nakathinai endeavored on a decisively neo-liberal agenda, clashing with the AKR's social democratic old guard. Nakathinai sponsored and passed the SAALFTA; dramatically slashed funds being spent on the military, infastructure reconstruction, and welfare; and massively de-regulated business within Azkali. These policies caused a gradual growth in discontent amongst Azkalis, with many feeling betrayed by the abandonment of the social democratic voter base of the AKR.

Korru Naru, the leader of the then-conceived High-conservative Turruist sect the Society of the Yellow Dragon, announced in Lerearitsa (July) that he would be contesting the next Azkali presidential elections, then scheduled for Kuoke 10,842 (January 2026). Naru considered his chance of winning the next presidential election slim to nil, so he began organizing plans to subvert the oncoming election via election tampering, voter fraud, intimidation, and violence in order to institute a Naruist dictatorship. In early Satseoko (August), the AKR fractured amongst factional lines following a leaked Telegram chat between Nakathinai, AKR Party Secretary Ñaitiez Uegokai, and several AKR PMs explicitely outling a plan to massively continue the fiscally-conservative scheme, which split the previously decisively-large vote share of the AKR between four parties. Because of this, the Yellow Dragon Society changed from having scant chance at winning a presidential election to becoming a serious contender at the presidency. Serving as a measure to check his popularity, then measured at an approximate 30 percent approval rating, Chei resigned from the presidency and ran in the subsequent by-election, which was scheduled by the Naen for Karomiko 11.

In polls done before the election, Nakathinai stayed comfortably within victory margins. Before election night, polls showed a further slump of support for Nakathinai, displaying a 20% for AKR in comparison to the IRA's 18 percent. However, on election night, AKR and IRA both underperformed, giving the AKR, IRA, NRA, and KR nearly the same amounts of support, and the Yellow Dragon Society massively overperformed. In the election, no candidate received a majority, and it was not initially clear what party would win until late in the morning of the 12th. The Yellow Dragon Society won the plurality of votes, by itself receiving 16.23 percent of the vote, or 16.35 percent of the vote including the votes of the parties infiltrated by Naruists. Nakathinai repealed the Azkali Presidential Runoff Act of 10,838 before the election, and as a result, Naru was declared the winner of the election.

Theory

Outline of a Turruist state

Korru Naru sought to create a state and Azkali society based on his interpretation of religious society as depicted in various Turruist texts. Both in theory and in practice, the Naruist state was conceived as a totalitarian hereditary dictatorship styled in the manner of a monarchy. The Naruist state was led by an all-powerful imara (king), who would be advised by a Turruist-corporatocratic naen ren anurokozke (Council of the People) made from one-half high-ranking members of the restu (or party, acting equivalently to the Turruist Church of the past) and one-half corporate groups. The restu, led by the imara, would control and direct all aspects of society, including political, social, and economic affairs. It would also serve to organize matters of religion, and in turn would also act as the nation's sole and supreme legal body. The government of the Turruist state, in most affairs, would be subsumed by the affairs of the Society of the Yellow Dragon.

The citizens of the state, referred to as the urokoz (people) explicitly to be defined as Turruist Azkalis, would be granted their franchise via participating in periodic egeko, unpaid governmental labor, under the economic apparatus of the restu. A large population of seko, a neologism variously described as serfs and forced laborers, who would be made up of non-kali Azkalis, non-Turruist Azkalis, criminals, and primarily members of other sapient species and of other non-Azkali ethnicites, numbering more than double or triple the population of free people, would be the main drivers of the economy and would be responsible for all production for the benefit of the urokoz and restu.
