The Inquisition itself, as one of the countries of the Kaiṣamā, had more or less the same territory that it had at the beginning of the Nāɂahilūmi years, before the invasion of the Bronic and Skyrdegan countries, except for Gorjan - divided into Northern Gorjan (since 6372 (3830<sub>12</sub>) independent as Gorjan) and Southern Gorjan (heavily Chlouvānemized and to date still a diocese of the Inquisition) - and the easternmost areas of Brono, which for the first time in history gained their identity as ''Fathan''; the pre-war Bronic province of Moamatempony, minus most of the coastal area except for the city of Moamatempony itself (at the time the largest Bronic-speaking city), was also annexed to the Inquisition as a different diocese, and heavily Chlouvānemized since the very earliest years of the Kaiṣamā (today still a Chlouvānem area with its Chlouvānem name of ''Måmatempuñih''). | The Inquisition itself, as one of the countries of the Kaiṣamā, had more or less the same territory that it had at the beginning of the Nāɂahilūmi years, before the invasion of the Bronic and Skyrdegan countries, except for Gorjan - divided into Northern Gorjan (since 6372 (3830<sub>12</sub>) independent as Gorjan) and Southern Gorjan (heavily Chlouvānemized and to date still a diocese of the Inquisition) - and the easternmost areas of Brono, which for the first time in history gained their identity as ''Fathan''; the pre-war Bronic province of Moamatempony, minus most of the coastal area except for the city of Moamatempony itself (at the time the largest Bronic-speaking city), was also annexed to the Inquisition as a different diocese, and heavily Chlouvānemized since the very earliest years of the Kaiṣamā (today still a Chlouvānem area with its Chlouvānem name of ''Måmatempuñih''). | ||
====Early Kaiṣamā==== | |||
The first half of the Kaiṣamā period was marked by a general abandonment of the religious-only focus that had been prevalent in the Nāɂahilūmi era, a tendency that had already started in the years immediately after the Consolidation, especially under Namihūlšāvi Šūlteniyæha ''Nājaldhīm'', but had been halted by the rise of the radical Great Inquisitor Nāɂahilūma. Yunyalīlti-mediated Communism (or simply Yunyalīlti Communism; in Chl. ''yunyalīltat yaivcārṇædani'' but usually only referred to as ''yaivcārṇædani'') became the fundamental ideology of the Union, shared in the common planning apparatus of its constituent countries; its implementation was more secular in the countries of Vīṭadælteh, which had no Yunyalīlti presence aside for Chlouvānem migrants, and gradually more Yunyalīlti than communist in the countries where the religion was present, especially in the Inquisition. The all-Union administration of the Kaiṣamā first under Great Inquisitor Maɂikembītā (whose reign, however, ended abruptly less than a year and a half after the constitution of the Union when she was forced to resign) and especially under Kailemūrṣāvi Julaṃhārka ''Mæmihomah'', elected in the Conclave of 6328 (37Ɛ4<sub>12</sub>) gradually restricted private property, abolishing it in 6331 (37Ɛ7<sub>12</sub>) and initiated a large-scale economical reform through the collectivization of private-owned lands and initiating production according to the First Six-Year Plan codified in 6330 (37Ɛ6<sub>12</sub>), with food autarky being the underlying goal. Great Inquisitor Maɂikembītā repealed all restrictions that prevented males from studying in Seminaries, while under Great Inquisitor Julaṃhārka education became a focus, introducing mandatory school years and planning for a more capillar distribution of schools in the Inquisition's territory, along with the creation of the Mugišca, the Yunyalīlti Communist youth organization of the Kaiṣamā<ref>De jure, there was an independent similar youth organization for each constituent country of the Union, but they were all coordinated from the Chlouvānem one, i.e. the Mugišca.</ref>; she also started the first large-scale vaccination campaigns of Calémerian history, a vital step towards eliminating various tropical infectious diseases endemic to various areas of the Chlouvānem world. | |||
These policies were copied into all countries of the Kaiṣamā, while the housing reform, carried out alongside the abolition of private property, was an all-Union policy from the start, granting the possibility of having a dwelling to all people of the Union; however, it was only in the early years of the reign of the following Great Inquisitor, Mæmihūmyāvi Upāṃruṇāri ''Læhimausa'', that the construction of panel apartment blocks became widespread and fast enough to fulfill the housing demand, creating in the process a new urban environment, that of the green suburban areas with tall, identical apartment blocks that is still the standard across all of the Inquisition and in the other countries of the Kaiṣamā. | |||
The Kaiṣamā era had a large impact on the ethnic composition of its territories, with internal migrations as well as both natural and forced population transfers. People of the various Kenengyry ethnicities, which had been strongly nomadic up to the Chlouvānem conquest in the Nāɂahilūmi era, were settled down in their own countries but a substantial number of them migrated to the Inquisition, especially to the newly-industrialized cities where they quickly formed ethnic-centered subcultures (which would evolve into urban subcultures and tradition with the later generations and ethnic intermixing; note, however, that no ethnic enclave could ever form due to apartments being assigned by the state with no<ref>Except for titular ethnicities of ethnic dioceses.</ref> consideration for ethnicity); similarly, many Chlouvānem also migrated to other Kaiṣamā countries, forming communities which still remain today. However, the early Kaiṣamā was marked by a reduced amount of freedom of speech and overall little personal freedom, possibly overemphasizing the Yunyalīlti focus on the wellbeing of society. The Union had eradicated hunger, unemployment, and illiteracy, but there was a deep cultural dissatisfaction with the perceived lack of diversions and the few opportunities for creating such diversions due to the totalitarian hold on peoples' lives. | |||
====Latter half of the Kaiṣamā Era==== | |||
Things started to change after the election in the Conclave of 6340 (3804<sub>12</sub>) of Mæmihūmyāvi Upāṃruṇāri ''Læhimausa'' and subsequent events in the cultural scene such as the novel ''Lila lili vi'' by Naryejūramāvi Lanæmyai ''Mæmihomah'', possibly the most influential contemporary Chlouvānem novel and a landmark event for Chlouvānem history: the book was a perfect telling of the internal struggles of the average Kaiṣamā citizen of those years, carrying out a critical deconstruction of the Kaiṣamā society in the meantime, not in a controrevolutionary way but in a way which was still Yunyalīlti and communist at the same time (the author Lanæmyai always declared herself a proud communist, and Great Inquisitor Upāṃruṇāri herself acknowledged the historical influence of the novel, which she declared herself to be a great fan of). In fact, the early part of the reign of Great Inquisitor Upāṃruṇāri was marked by a loosening of the totalitarian hold; there was a general thaw of censorship and economical planners started factoring more free time of workers as a goal to be accomplished; gradually, the self-employed artisanal sector was also favoured, starting to adapt the economy from heavy industry to more consumer goods, light industrial products, and the arts. There was also, for the first time since the Global War, an easening of mutual relationships between the Kaiṣamā and the Western Bloc and, more importantly, cooperation agreements between the Kaiṣamā and selected countries of Greater Skyrdagor, where a form of communism also influenced by the Kaiṣamā-specific Yunyalīlti Communism was gaining favour, eventually paving the way for the enlarged Eastern Bloc. | |||
Among the landmark policies of the early part of Great Inquisitor Upāṃruṇāri's reign was the so-called "Gender Equality Laws" (introduced by the Encyclical ''lelivaḍipårdakmom paṣlāvī vaiṣātṛdarīssūgis pa'' "On the [tackling of the] Gender Issue for the resolution of Class Struggle" dated 6347, 10 mālutaivrai 10 (380Ɛ, ᘔ mālutaivrai)), which replaced the historical legal recognition of gender based on birth sex only by officializing recognition of gender as a spectrum with six possible legal definitions; these laws were the first ever laws providing complete gender equality on Calémere and were introduced in all constituent countries of the Kaiṣamā in 6348 (3810<sub>12</sub>), and similar laws would be passed in the other Eastern Bloc countries in the following decades. | |||
The Kaiṣamā part of G.I. Upāṃruṇāri's reign was also the time of great scientific advancements such as the conquest of space: on 6356 (3818<sub>12</sub>), 2 bhaivyāvammi, the Inquisition successfully launched from the Tanomalē Island cosmodrome the first human-made object in orbit, the Ilēnye Lahīla satellite, while three years later was the time of the first human in space (Lileikhurāvi Hurvadēṣi ''Hamilǣṣṇa'', launched on 6359, 17 uṣraumaṇai (381Ɛ, 15 uṣraumaṇai)), with additional feats following suit: the first space walk (by Lanaijunyāvi Lajñæša ''Chlamijenyū'' on 6361 (3821<sub>12</sub>), 4 laindyai), and the first humans to walk on both of Calémere's moons (the ''6-e Tūvakarimbas'' on Tūva (Dógato), the lesser moon, landed on 6366, 13 prātuṣāmī (3826, 11 prātuṣāmi) and eight months later the ''5-e Hulyāculla'' on Hulyā (Ašeira), landed on 6367 (3827<sub>12</sub>), 8 martaṣārī). Both first expedition to the two moons were manned by two Chlouvānem and a further cosmonaut from another country in the Kaiṣamā: a Bronic for the Tūva expedition and a Soenjoan for the Hulyā one. | |||
====Downfall of the Kaiṣamā (3830-3836)==== | |||
Starting from the early years of the dozenal decade of the 3830s (around 6372-6374<sub>10</sub>), the economy of the Kaiṣamā began to stagnate, as consumer goods sales had decreased and most prominently exports had decreased, due to the Western world's, and especially Evandorian, economies having completely recovered from the devastations of the Global War and outclassed their prestige before it. The political scene of the world had massively changed in the fifty years since the War's end, with political decolonization of the former Evandorian colonies on all continents having been virtually completed and with only a fraction of newly independent countries (mostly in Eastern Védren, a few on Ovítioná) having elected to align themselves closer to the Kaiṣamā. Furthermore, it was once again the openness of Greater Skyrdagor to drive change in the Chlouvānem-led world, as the mixed systems of the Skyrdegan countries had been taken as model by the more liberal factions that had been growing in the Kaiṣamā countries of Vīṭadælteh. While the governments of those countries never acknowledged and often repressed these movements, news of decolonization also reached those countries, where local movements all over the political spectrum denounced the de facto colonial state of their countries, which had only been equalized de jure with the Inquisition ever since having been invaded and forcefully conquered under G.I. Nāɂahilūma. One of the immediate effects of the crisis of the Kaiṣamā, but which had already been planned for a long time, was the 6372 independence of Gorjan, a part of Greater Skyrdagor, from the Inquisition. | |||
Central to the dismantling of the Kaiṣamā was its lack of political parties and the Chlouvānem not being familiar with the concept, which left the establishing of political parties a grey zone. It is nowadays unanimous that the final straw that accelerated the process of dismantling was the 6374 (3832<sub>12</sub>) decision of the President of Taruebus, Sguez Raaftcoch, to concede to the growing opposition the officialization of the para-partitic formations that had been formed during the previous year, effectively creating the first ever political parties in the Kaiṣamā. Taruebus, located at the westernmost end of the Kaiṣamā mainland, bordering the other countries of Vīṭadælteh, had always been the least Chlouvānemized country of the Union, with nearly non-existant Yunyalīlti and Chlouvānem presence, and was the Union's fourth-largest country by area and fifth-largest by population. The establishment of the first Tarueb political parties alone already caught the attention of the masses in the rest of the Vīṭadælti Kaiṣamā countries, making the anti-Union protests in those countries grow, especially after in the pārghuṇai of 6375 the first partitical parliamentary elections in Taruebus took place, with all parties in the newly-elected Tarueb parliament having had as their prime tenet the "liberation of Taruebus from the Chlouvānem yoke"; the new President, Uezlig Wyssdaelch, communicated on 6375, 3 mālutaivrai, exactly one month after the officialization of the electoral results, the intention of the Tarueb nation to begin the procedure of secession from the Kaiṣamā. | |||
The news of the imminent Tarueb secession sparked further protest across the Vīṭadælti part of the Union, which had no Yunyalīlti links to the Chlouvānem and wanted complete independence; the protests were particularly violent in the countries of the eastern shore, particularly Aqalyšary and Morufalhay, the non-Kenengyry ones which had more influence from Skyrdagor across the sea. However, the process of party building wasn't as fast as Taruebus, which already had para-partitic formations before the spark of protests. At the beginning of 6376 (3834<sub>12</sub>), Taruebus was in talks for secession with the central government, but only Aqalyšary, Šurugu-tae, and Berkutave among all other countries had legalized political parties. | |||
While in the Inquisition itself there wasn't so much popular dissatisfaction due to the country's role of dominant power inside the Union, the crisis of the Kaiṣamā placed a serious burden on Great Inquisitor Upāṃruṇāri just a few months away from the Conclave of 6376 which could either end her reign after 36 years or confirm her for twelve more. Factions of High Inquisitors blamed the stagnation and the resulting stability crisis on the too political nature of the Union and the compromises with political doctrine it needed in order to extend its influence on countries that were not traditionally Yunyalīlti, and therefore wanted to loosen some economic restrictions and decriminalize every form of self-employment, while keeping other methods for avoiding the emergence of a kulak class; such factions united to form the so-called "new progressivist" group (''lališirāhe paṣlonīn''), advocating radical change in the structure of the Kaiṣamā. Great Inquisitor Upāṃruṇāri reacted to the criticism of new progressivists by opening to them, shuffling the composition of the Inquisitorial Conclave to include more of them and vowing to introduce a more collaborational approach between her and the Inquisitorial Conclave to lead the country. The first act she did under new progressivism was, on 6376, 14 pāṇḍalañši (3834, 12 pāṇḍalañši), a little more than one month before the Conclave of Bishops, the signing of the definitive settlement on the secession of Taruebus from the Kaiṣamā, which came into effect on 1 laindyai. | |||
On 25 (21<sub>12</sub>) haunyai, Great Inquisitor Upāṃruṇāri was reelected in the Conclave of 6376 for further twelve years of reign. The immediate aftermath of the Conclave was marked by the negotiation process between the Inquisition and the 18 remaining countries of the Kaiṣamā about the fate of the Union. Three different negotiations took place, depending on the nature of the area: a collective one for all countries of Vīṭadælteh, which had a trascurable Yunyalīlti presence aside for large numbers of Chlouvānem settled in some urban areas (especially in Kŭyŭgwažtow), similar economic conditions, and only entered the Chlouvānem sphere of influence due to the Nāɂahilūmi era invasion; one for Qualdomailor and Brono, countries with a Yunyalīlti majority and centuries of Chlouvānem influence; and another one for Gorjan, an ethnically Skyrdegan country, religiously divided nearly in half between the Yunyalīlta and Keduvianism (the dominant Skyrdegan religion), and which saw the presence of the two main countries of Greater Skyrdagor, Skyrdagor itself and Karynaktja, in the negotiations. The negotiation process wasn't as long as with Taruebus, as there was a common intent of ending the Kaiṣamā experience as it was, but there was instead the longing for replacing it with a different, less supranational and more equal, international treaty organization, not severing the links with the Inquisition as much as the Tarueb secession from the Union had, though each country would have their own policies and the new organization should act more as a framework for cooperation and discussion of common agreements. | |||
Gorjan seceded from the Union first, on 6376, 20 uṣraumaṇai, joining all international organizations of Greater Skyrdagor but maintaining a country-wide provision for the right to being treated according to Yunyalīlti religious law to the Yunyalīlti people in it. Brono and Qualdomailor, due to their history and their situation (they were the only countries in the Kaiṣamā aside for the Inquisition where the protest movements hadn't gained momentum), negotiated a gradual detachment from the Inquisition which helped them to maintain as many links as they wanted, like for example mutual travel agreements and a common currency, with the option of introducing their own whenever they wanted (Brono introduced the ''beary'' in 6381 (3839<sub>12</sub>), while Qualdomailor never did). Finally, the Kaiṣamā ceased to exist close to the end of the year, on 16 (14<sub>12</sub>) camirādhās, when the 15 remaining countries of the Vīṭadælteh part of the Kaiṣamā seceded, putting an end to almost 52 years of the organization. | |||
