Zalozie
“On paper / Zalozie / A nation worthy of the gods / In practice / Zalozie / The truth is so much more macabre” –Excerpt from the Azerian musical, “Politik!”
People’s Republic of Zalozie
Structure
Zalozie is a single party state under the Zalozian Communist Party, which controls all government functions from the local to national level. The General Secretariat – the highest order of the Party – is headed by Wyladmir Nostov, who led the revolution against the Czar.
Culture
A nation of farmers and laborers, the people of Zalozie toiled under the yoke of a brutal regime – The Kingdom of Greater Zalozie – for many years, where a king known as the Czar considered all citizens by law his own property. When Wyladmir Nostov brought his idea of a Communist government to the people, it was met with nearly universal support among the population, unaware they would be trading one despot for another.
Territories
Climate: Plains/Woodland/Tundra
Military
The Communist Party of Zalozie prefers to use subterfuge via its intelligence service as opposed to direct military conflict to incite unrest in potential rivals. The Zalozian Red Army initially relied on peasant conscripts, but has recently made great efforts to modernize the army and reform into a professional fighting force with varying degrees of success. Zalozie’s biggest struggle right now is acquiring enough weapons and armor to meet army demands.
Religion
While organized religion is prohibited by law, many still worship the gods in secret.
Foreign Relations
Nations across the world see Zalozie as a major threat, as their Communist ideals have quickly spread worldwide, gaining popularity among the peasant class. This is intentional, of course, as Zalozie seeks to turn the continent and later the world into a singular Communist state through a domino effect series of revolutions.
Agriculture & Industry
Zalozie has an economy that is almost 100% agrarian.
