About Toutanglom:
Toutanglom is among the states with the longest-standing biological traditions, with an enduring focus on biological sciences that dates back approximately five thousand years. This tradition is particularly centered on the study and manipulation of microorganisms. Over centuries, Toutanglom developed the ability to adapt and direct microscopic life forms to function according to deliberate intent. Although the state became infamous for its use of biological agents as instruments of warfare, these same technologies were also employed for constructive purposes, including accelerated plant cultivation, advanced food production, and large-scale environmental restoration.
Throughout its history, Toutanglom maintained a long and traditional alliance with Draviskas, founded on their shared interest in biological research and application. In contrast, its relations with Senas Tuath and Abern were consistently tense due to disputes over control of the Sea of Song. Numerous wars were fought over this region across several millennia. Approximately three thousand years ago, relations among these powers were characterized by a mutualistic arrangement, in which the sea was jointly utilized without clearly defined territorial boundaries. However, as the Sea of Song grew increasingly prosperous and strategically valuable, ambitions for monopolization intensified. Toutanglom, in particular, sought to assert control over the entire expanse of the sea.
All parties attempted to secure as many islands as possible. Many islands in the region lacked permanent ownership, with some remaining uninhabited or functioning as temporary neutral territories. Disputes expanded in both scale and intensity year after year, with many remaining unresolved into the modern era. Among the most infamous and destructive conflicts were the Great Pelagic Succession (-14, Former Common Era), the War on Open Water (223), the Oceanic Coalition War (427), and the Blue Boundary War (625).
These large-scale conflicts significantly contributed to repeated political instability within Toutanglom, resulting in the collapse of multiple regimes. One such example was the fall of the Toutanglom United Republic. While its collapse marked the end of a unified political structure, it also gave rise to a more centralized and militarily prepared system that proved more stable in sustaining prolonged warfare.
Architecturally, Toutanglom's built environment clearly reflects its biological ideology. Structures are designed to resemble cultivated organisms rather than assembled constructions. Buildings grow like microorganism colonies, characterized by soft, cellular geometries with rounded volumes, membrane-like surfaces, and an absence of sharp angles. Forms are inspired by amoebae, radiolaria, and diatoms. Surfaces often appear semi-translucent, allowing light to filter through as if passing through living tissue. Layered façades function like cell membranes, featuring porous patterns, flowing ribs, tendrils, and fin-like extensions reminiscent of cilia and flagella.
Buildings expand through modular cell-like pods that cluster and branch organically. Bio-textured surfaces display vein networks, micro-perforations, and lattice-like shells. Materials resemble bio-resin, translucent stone, or algae-infused glass. Straight lines are entirely absent; all forms curve, swell, or stretch as though frozen mid-growth. Exteriors are punctuated by small pore-like openings for light and ventilation. Interior spaces resemble the inside of a living organism, with walls blending seamlessly into ceilings and spaces forming cell chambers, vascular tunnels, and hollow biological cavities.
Sun motifs appear frequently in Toutanglom architecture, often positioned as crowns or central atriums. These are not symbolic suns but living constructs - designed as glowing biological nuclei with radiating organic tendrils. Their light pulses softly, mimicking the rhythm of photosynthesis. Dominant structural colors include warm amber, honey gold, and coral white, accented by iridescent bio-sheens. Interior lighting evokes the sensation of existing within a living body.
In the city of Trifulum stands the Solinum Tower, rising to a height exceeding three kilometers. The tower's form is neither straight nor rigid; it spirals gently, swelling and narrowing like a living stem or spinal column. Its exterior functions as a living membrane composed of three layers: an outer porous shell resembling a cell wall, internal structural ribs akin to cartilage, and an inner vascular system. Vein-like patterns climb the surface, accompanied by soft ridges and openings that emit pulsing light, giving the structure a distinctly living presence, especially at night.
At the summit rests a biological sun construct - not a conventional emblem, but a glowing nucleus or radiant seed that functions as a photosynthetic organ. Organic rays extend outward like tendrils rather than spikes, emitting a warm golden light that pulses slowly, as if breathing. The interior of the tower is vertically stratified by function: lower levels house public halls and water or entry systems; middle levels contain residential, research, and cultural spaces; upper levels serve as observation zones and sacred areas; and the apex contains the light core, energy systems, and ritual spaces. Movement within the tower follows organic paths rather than straight elevators, utilizing vertical light shafts, helical routes, and capsule transports that move like blood cells through a circulatory system.
Historically, Toutanglom possessed a vast arsenal of biological weapons, which were deployed extensively in warfare. Simultaneously, the state maintained one of the largest food reserves in the world. Through the use of microorganisms, processes that would normally require decades could be completed in weeks without compromising quality. Toutanglom also succeeded in creating fully artificial microorganisms, many of which have since been made publicly known.
Brief modern history:
Before the establishment of the modern Toutanglom, the nation existed under the regime known as the Toutanglom United Republic. This state endured for nearly two centuries before collapsing into a civil war in 1167 between two major factions: the Murrani (purple), who controlled the South, and the Croci (yellow), who held the North. These two clans had jointly governed the republic since its founding, but tension over political power had always lingered between them.
The situation deteriorated dramatically after the leader of the state, Upsed Uhtavis Upsedis, was assassinated by an unknown hitman on 5 November 1166. His death triggered months of intense disagreement between the Murrani and Croci over who should assume leadership, and no successor could be elected. After four months of deadlock, the Croci launched a coup, declared themselves the rightful rulers of Toutanglom, and sought to diminish the influence of the Murrani, insisting that the nation should obey a single authority. In response, the Murrani established their own government in the South - where their influence was strongest - thus igniting a violent civil war driven by political ambition.
The war lasted nearly two decades. Continuous battles caused immense destruction: millions perished, over half of the territory in both regions was devastated, and several cities were completely wiped out. As the conflict progressed, shortages of essential goods and waves of refugees caused additional suffering. The war finally ended with the defeat of the Croci at the Battle of Pelsa in 1183. The remaining Croci forces deserted or fled to neighboring southern nations. The Murrani emerged as the dominant clan and assumed full control of the state.
However, their challenges were far from over. Years of conflict had left the republic in total ruin with the severe shortage of nourishment and waterlessness, the civil war lead to a famine that spread across the entire state, crime rate surged and shelter was heavily destroyed that lead to a great amount of homeless percentage - a period later referred to as the Loufir (Loss), this period was remembered not only for its hardships but also for the grim imagery it produced. One of the most striking symbols was the so-called "mountain of corpses," formed from bodies of those who had died from starvation, violence, or various other causes. These accumulations were usually constructed in empty fields. At the time, proper funerary rites were not a priority; Tanglomi authorities had little choice but to gather the dead in a single place and postpone ceremonial burial until circumstances allowed. Over time, more bodies were added to each heap, gradually creating a mound that came to be known as a Mutanmenus.
Entire fields became filled with these mounds. They were inhabited by swarms of blowflies, beetles, maggots, rats, crows, and other scavengers. Both the sky and the ground were thick with such creatures, reinforcing the dreadful appearance of these sites. The largest recorded Mutanmenus is estimated to have contained approximately 1,500 individuals.
Distrust toward the new Murrani-led government remained strong, particularly in the North. The young administration was immediately confronted with the immense task of recovering a shattered society. Although progress was slow, this era laid the foundational framework for the future modern Toutanglom.
After nearly a decade of effort, the state began to manage the consequences of the war, largely thanks to the reconstruction initiative known as Toutiuf Recuprum, which aimed to repair wartime damage and rebuild trust both in the South and, gradually, in the North. Following its recovery, the state resumed its previously delayed biological research initiatives, strengthened further through cooperation with Draviskas.
Although the material cost of the war was eventually rebuilt, the memory of the nearly two decades of civil conflict - and of the subsequent Loufir - remained a lasting taboo within Tanglomi culture. Even after many of the fields were cleansed, a significant portion of the population refused to enter them, believing these places to carry a heavy spiritual burden. In later years, several of these fields were consecrated and transformed into sites of national ceremony, serving both as memorial grounds and as reminders of the suffering endured.
In 1193, a powerful and rapidly spreading biological agent was completed: Helix-9. This agent became infamous for its extraordinary transmissibility through respiration and its unprecedented effects achieved through advanced biological manipulation. In its early stage, Helix-9 resembled a common flu, causing cough, fever, and fatigue. After two days, symptoms escalated: severe throat pain preventing speech, red rashes causing intense itching, muscle paralysis, and increasing difficulty in breathing. By the third stage - typically two days later - the throat appeared to decay as if melting, the skin deteriorated, consciousness was lost, blindness followed, and in some cases bone erosion was recorded. This stage lasted only eight hours before death. Its only notable weakness was that natural immunity could develop, eventually producing herd immunity.
After extensive consideration, Toutanglom decided to test this new weapon on Thauris, a powerful and long-standing regional threat formed from the unification of Hledisland, Raginheim, and Morthen. Thauris had supported the Northern regime during the civil war and continued to provoke Toutanglom afterward through repeated border attacks. Although strong, Thauris was known for its fragile central authority and frequent ethnic divisions.
On the mornings of 15 and 23 January 1195, specially engineered birds - another biological product created by Toutanglom - carried the Helix-9 agent across the Thauris border. This event triggered the Zeta Flu, a devastating pandemic that spread rapidly and caused the swift collapse of Thauris, particularly targeting regions around Hleidisland, as the region constituted the core of the nation's economic and military strength, its destruction would imperil the entire state.. The effectiveness of Helix-9 was decisively proven through this outbreak. The biological terrorist documents were highly classified, as the state did not yet want to reveal it.
Following the success of Helix-9, Toutanglom continued to develop even more advanced biological weapons. In 1199, the state initiated the Meitium Touts Upsannom plan, an ambitious national program aimed at improving all aspects of society and further strengthening the cultural identity of the nation.
In 1201, the Meim-Upsed-Planom project was initiated - a grand undertaking aimed at improving logistics and transportation across multiple routes, with particular emphasis on strengthening the transport system in the South. The project was concluded successfully in 1205.
In 1204, taking advantage of its long coastline, multiple ports began construction and repair in an effort to rival Senas Tuath directly, setting the stage for a renewed period of tension and an extended trade war between Toutanglom and Senas Tuath. The most advanced and modern ports were Akkiudum and Rakkiom, receiving millions of visits each year, largely from long-distance overseas trading partners.
Following the success of Helix-9, two more powerful biological agents - VESTRAKO-12 and Kluvis-Orum - were developed simultaneously in 1206 and 1207. Both were manufactured viral agents created by Toutanglom. These were tested only on mice; although there were initial plans to release a pandemic upon enemy states, concerns that repeated outbreaks would attract regional attention and bring strategic disadvantages led to the abandonment of the plan. Toutanglom's ambitions did not end with the creation of disease-spreading agents; they sought to develop fully cloned and mutated soldiers. This was secretly initiated under the codename TTT-3X, but ultimately failed due to technological limitations of the time.
From 1213 to 1216, numerous minor border conflicts occurred between Toutanglom and Abern. At one point, the Toutanglom United Republic attempted to conquer Abern, but due to strategic errors the campaign failed - marking the first direct confrontation between the two nations. Their mutual hostility did not diminish despite multiple peace treaties. On 3 April 1215, a misunderstanding nearly escalated into total war. Abern, believing an intruder had crossed into its territory, prepared to launch a strike on a Toutanglom military camp. The attack was cancelled when it was determined that, due to weather and technical error, a wild wolf had been misidentified as an enemy soldier. Continued border provocations caused ongoing security concerns, leading Toutanglom to propose a peace treaty on 12 May 1216. Abern, having gained nothing from its border aggressions, accepted the treaty; however, tensions persisted, merely delayed rather than resolved. Abern continued provocations, and Senas Tuath remained an additional, long-standing maritime rival over control of the Sea of Song.
During the civil war, Senas Tuath launched arbitrary attacks on Toutanglom's ports, destroying many of them. The loss of these ports contributed to the post-war disaster due to the collapse of overseas aid routes. On the morning of 27 June 1224, an unusual explosion occurred at Rakkiom Port, causing a massive fire and destroying half the facility. Although there were no casualties, the reputation of Toutanglom suffered greatly as numerous ships were docked at the time. Certain of the perpetrator, Toutanglom declared war on Senas Tuath four days later, beginning the Fifth Sea of Song War, despite Senas Tuath denying responsibility. The war lasted approximately two months, with the primary objective of destroying Senas Tuath's ports. Three major ports and fifteen minor ports were reported severely damaged, though the ports of Vesklum and Befiu were also heavily damaged after missile strikes on Toutanglom's side. The war concluded when both sides determined continuation was no longer worthwhile and agreed to mutual free port operation. Toutanglom's goal of destroying more than nineteen percent of Senas Tuath's operating ports was unsuccessful due to the latter's sea defense systems. The war further intensified bilateral tensions.
On 1 January 1254, the Genetu Penterom, commonly referred to as "the Zoo," officially entered operation. It became the largest biological facility ever constructed, developed over nearly three decades, serving as the central site for producing biological products. Some of the most dangerous biological weapons were developed there, with many later traded overseas. The facility's exact location was kept under high classification, but general consensus suggested it was located beneath the Central South sector of the nation.
Between 1259 and 1265, Toutanglom concluded a series of significant trade treaties and commercial agreements with a growing number of foreign partners. Many of these accords were regarded at the time as highly promising, offering favorable terms and expanded opportunities for international exchange.
Following the escalation of the First Great War of Eldervale, on the night of 11 March 1272, a massive fire broke out in the forests along the border between Abern and Toutanglom. Believing Toutanglom responsible, Abern declared war the next morning, beginning the First Cross-Frontier War. The surprise attack, combined with rapid tactics, caught Toutanglom off guard and forced a retreat toward the Central South. Although the situation eventually stabilized, the defensive line narrowly held against constant aggression. Two months later, on 6 May, Senas Tuath joined the war alongside Abern in retaliation for the earlier destruction of its ports. With attacks from both North and South, the southern front collapsed and forces were pushed toward the capital in the northern front; the naval front also deteriorated.
Despite being incomplete, Toutanglom was forced to deploy its newest biological agents - most notably Ufaro-12, Meitas-03, and Brutan-DY. These agents were spread via artificial flying animals. Although still in development, the weapons proved deadly and efficient: within a week, the forces of both enemy nations fell into disorder and panic due to the rapid spread of disease among their soldiers.
Following the widespread collapse of both enemy fronts, the Tanglomi army seized the initiative, launching a series of coordinated offensive operations that rapidly pushed opposing forces back to their national borders. Within only two months of the initial outbreak, Tanglomi pressure had reshaped the strategic landscape of the war.
On the southern front, Abern - taking advantage of its dense forests and marshlands - shifted to a strategy of guerrilla warfare. Hit-and-run attacks, ambushes, and sabotage operations significantly slowed Tanglomi advances and inflicted consistent disruptions across the invading lines. As Toutanglom continued to employ flying animals to disseminate biological agents, Abern authorities issued strict orders to eliminate any airborne creature within the contested zones.
On the northern front, the Tanglomi army struggled to completely eradicate Sunas Tuath forces within their territory, despite the severe casualties the latter suffered from exposure to the agents. During this period, Toutanglom devoted extensive resources to the development of more advanced dissemination methods and deliberated deploying even deadlier biological agents to shift the balance decisively.
On 25 December 1272, Toutanglom successfully tested a small autonomous flying device capable of distributing biological agents across vast areas. The device was immediately deployed. It traversed the entirety of both Sunas Tuath and Abern, releasing Helix-11, an enhanced and far more virulent successor to the earlier Helix-9 strain. The result was a devastating pandemic that destabilized both nations and contributed to their rapid attrition.
On 1 January 1273, Toutanglom launched a massive offensive into enemy territory. Recognizing their inability to continue effective resistance, Abern declared its intention to seek peace - following Sunas Tuath - on 15 February 1273. The treaty was signed in the capital of Toutanglom.
The treaty required both defeated states to pay substantial financial reparations for wartime damages and to cede ten percent of their territory to Toutanglom. They were further obligated to pledge strict non-aggression along the Tanglomi frontier. In addition, Sunas Tuath faced a specific maritime restriction, being compelled to reduce its naval activity in the Sea of Song to seventy percent below pre-war levels.
This conflict marked the first recorded use of biological weapons by Toutanglom on the battlefield. Victory elevated the state's regional standing, though it also generated cautious scrutiny from neighboring powers due to the unprecedented lethality of its biological arsenal. Nevertheless, the Tanglomi economy soon recovered and even flourished, buoyed by expanded influence over maritime routes in the Sea of Song.
Despite its recent success, Toutanglom remained wary of Hleidisland, especially after the latter's "Gaida Fanalis" Program and the emerging evidence linking it to the origins of the Zeta Flu. Fearing Hleidisland's growing militarization, Toutanglom forged a defensive alliance with Draviskas and Raginheim. This "Coalition" was united less by mutual trust than by shared apprehension.
After a series of small border clashes, open war erupted between the Coalition and Hleidisland on 7 November 1279. In Toutanglom, the conflict became known as the First Northern Defense War.
Yet the Coalition's internal divisions - marked by distrust, poor coordination, and conflicting strategic priorities - resulted in repeated failures on the battlefield, further compounded by Hleidisland's technological superiority. Attempts by Toutanglom to deploy biological agents proved ineffective, as Hleidisland's decades of disease-prevention expertise rendered the attacks largely futile.
Toutanglom soon suffered major losses, including the fall of Treiktur on 3 June and Ulkanim on 6 June. The Tanglomi army retreated to defensive positions along the Saprissa River, where they mounted a desperate stand under the slogan "Puisa pedem revortom es" ("Not a step back").
The Battle of the Saprissa River raged from 12 June to 4 November 1280. Though ultimately a Tanglomi defensive victory, the toll in manpower was catastrophic. Within six days of the battle's end, Toutanglom - exhausted and unable to continue fighting - accepted defeat alongside its allies.
The subsequent peace treaty, signed in Hleidisland's capital, forced Toutanglom to cede 8% of its remaining territory and pay massive reparations. Humiliated and eager to reclaim lost honor, factions within the state soon conspired with Coalition partners to plan a series of retaliatory terrorist attacks against Hleidis civilian centers.

Humiliated and eager to reclaim lost honor, factions within the state soon conspired with Coalition partners to plan a series of retaliatory terrorist attacks against Hleidis civilian centers.
The double defeat provoked widespread condemnation of Toutanglom's leadership. Karris Veltiom, the ruling head of state, was heavily criticized and eventually deposed. Simultaneously, internal divisions within the ruling Murrani clan erupted into open conflict, deepening national instability.
As public despair grew and trust in the government collapsed, separatist movements surged across the formerly annexed territories of Abern and Sunas Tuath. With external support, these regions swiftly rejoined their respective homelands while Tanglomi authorities remained mired in infighting.
The crisis intensified when the northern provinces of Toutanglom rose in revolt, nearly igniting a second civil war. Only rapid and forceful suppression prevented total fragmentation.
In this climate of political collapse, a clandestine ideological movement - the Trumperak Sloiga Feretrum Uisperiem (TSFU) - emerged. Long operating in secrecy since the end of the civil war, TSFU was a radical, ultranationalist organization advocating deeper cultural strenghthen, technological advancement, and decisive centralized authority. Seizing the moment of governmental weakness, TSFU orchestrated a coup, arresting remaining officials of the Murrani clan and abolishing it - thus ending the last surviving clan of the Old Republic after centuries of rule.
On 20 November 1282, TSFU proclaimed itself the new governing authority of Toutanglom. Karris Veltiom Rastufais assumed leadership of the state. Although the political vacuum was finally filled, the new regime inherited a nation plagued by civil unrest, economic strain, and profound societal trauma. Following the conclusion of the TSFU period and the consolidation of power by the central government, the Sakarater Toutam programme was launched under the leadership of Toutam. The initiative proved both efficient and judicious. Social stability was restored rapidly through the expansion of employment opportunities, the revival of civilian production, and a renewed emphasis on cultural development.
However, less than a decade later, the Second Great War of Eldervale erupted. Driven by escalating regional tensions and a strong desire to reclaim lost territories, Toutanglom - aligned with Raginheim - declared war on Hleidisland on 28 October 1291, taking advantage of its adversary's overextension on multiple fronts. Motivated by the belief that a powerful enemy must be confronted pre-emptively, the Tanglomi leadership ordered a strategy of continuous offensive action. Tanglomi forces succeeded in regaining most of their former lands within only a few weeks.
After restoring their territorial claims, Toutanglom offered a peace settlement, unwilling to prolong the conflict once its primary objectives had been achieved. As expected, Hleidisland rejected the proposal. Hostilities continued with a series of intensive offensive operations. Despite fighting with considerable determination, Tanglomi forces were eventually compelled to withdraw and establish defensive positions along the Saprissa River. Their second major defensive victory at the river, achieved after four months of relentless combat from December to 2 April 1292, forced Hleidisland to halt its advance.
At this stage, Toutanglom deployed its newest biological agents - SILENUS-9 and Vireo - refined variants of several prior experimental weapons. Their effects were unprecedented. Even the advanced medical and counter-disease systems of Hleidisland struggled to contain the outbreaks. These agents enabled Toutanglom to regain some ground, though their advance ultimately stalled due to exhaustion and attrition. Much of the northern region remained under enemy occupation.
With the Hleidisland front partially stabilized, Toutanglom declared war on Sunas Tuath and Abern on 30 April 1292. The campaign began with widespread biological attacks and the deliberate destruction of food supplies. Caught unprepared for such methods, both nations suffered rapid territorial losses. The Tanglomi advance halted only when Abern reverted to disciplined guerrilla tactics, and Sunas Tuath impeded Tanglomi operations by destroying key ports. Nevertheless, outbreaks of disease spread extensively across both countries.
Throughout the conflict, large numbers of prisoners of war - estimated at more than 800,000 - were transported to Tanglomi research facilities for experimentation with further biological agents. From 15 to 20 July 1293, Hleidisland forces carried out a series of brutal retaliatory massacres in Tanglomi-occupied territories, the most infamous of which occurred at Brechthalla and Nerfinium. These atrocities were perpetrated in revenge for the devastating Zeta Flu epidemic attributed to Toutanglom. The massacres left deep psychological and cultural scars on the survivors and the Tanglomi nation as a whole.
After three years of combat with no decisive breakthroughs, all belligerents reached a state of exhaustion, and the frontlines solidified into stalemate. Tanglomi forces remained entrenched defensively until the proclamation of the Pax of Seraphic. Toutanglom signed the agreement on 5 July, effectively ending the conflict. The war left most of the northern territories devastated. A second Sakarater Toutam programme was initiated to address the extensive destruction. The northern regions were eventually restored to near pre-war conditions, with the programme also enabling new opportunities for urban replanning. Despite the peace, Toutanglom continued to expand its network of biological research facilities.
In 1296, the Suris Statue - an enduring symbol of the nation - was fully restored after sustaining significant damage in earlier conflicts. By 1320, Toutanglom completed development of the first generation of its cloning army, genetically modified to surpass standard soldiers in strength and endurance. Although prohibitively expensive and produced only in limited numbers, the program continued to expand.
On 18 February 1332, the Faleriiia Island Crisis unfolded when a Sunas Tuath vessel docked without authorization. In accordance with treaty procedures, the heads of state initiated diplomatic negotiations. After a month of tense discussions, an agreement was reached: the ship had docked in error, and Sunas Tuath pledged to notify Toutanglom in advance of any future maritime movements in the region.
During the following decades, Toutanglom maintained mutually cooperative - though cautious - relations with Draviskas and Raginheim. The post-Pax era became a period of sustained societal, economic, military, and cultural strengthening. Yet, despite the relative calm, the government consistently emphasized vigilance, reminding its citizens that future conflict remained a possibility.
In the year 1349, the state of Toutanglom completed development of its most destructive and terrifying biological weapon system - a composite and enhanced iteration of several earlier agents. These included Virudom Nerkhul, Nerkhul, Ullun-7, and Mortud-X. All four agents were classified at the highest security level and maintained in a constant state of military readiness.
These agents were notorious for their rapid transmissibility and for inducing fatal outcomes within mere hours of exposure. Documented clinical manifestations included acute multisensory failure, progressive tissue necrosis, rapid osteolysis, continuous internal hemorrhaging, cyanotic macular lesions across the dermal surface, severe respiratory impairment leading to terminal asphyxiation, and catastrophic immunosuppression.
Collectively, these agents rank among the most controversial and horrifying weapons ever conceived in recorded history.
On 30 June 1351, Marrukis Staiis Pompoiis was elected as the new head of state, continuing to shape national development until the outbreak of the Third Great War.
Idealology: Luminafracta
The fundamental objective of this ideology is the preservation of a stable societal order that acknowledges and venerates two indispensable yet unseen forces of judgment and surveillance, regarded as the true architects of reality. Public consciousness is deliberately directed toward a ceremonial figurehead - an intentionally hollow institution designed to concentrate devotion, legitimize authority, and absorb public resentment and blame, thereby shielding the true governing mechanisms from scrutiny.
At the core of this doctrine lie several foundational values.
The Sanctity of Resentment holds that the desire for recognition is not a flaw, but a sacred and necessary motivating force. To ignore or deny a power that performs an essential function is considered the gravest form of sacrilege.
Puppet Sovereignty asserts that visible authority is an empty vessel - an indispensable symbolic construct whose purpose is to be guided, manipulated, and sacrificed as needed by the concealed powers that ensure systemic stability.
Worship as Tax defines adoration not as a voluntary expression, but as a compulsory civic resource owed to the forces that sustain equilibrium. This obligation is extracted and regulated through institutionalized ritual, doctrine, and public practice.
Creative Annihilation legitimizes total societal collapse as a sanctioned and sacred corrective measure, employed to punish collective ingratitude and to reset the cosmic and political balance when deviation becomes irreparable.
From these values emerge the governing principles of the ideology.
The Law of the Unseen Hand establishes that the most consequential rulers are those who remain unseen, whose influence is pervasive yet deliberately unacknowledged, and whose legitimacy derives from effect rather than recognition.
The Edict of Mandatory Gratitude declares that failure to properly venerate all foundational powers constitutes a capital offense - not merely against the state, but against the balance of reality itself.
Within this framework, humanity is defined as inherently unstable: impulsive, impressionable, and prone to misplaced reverence. Humans instinctively idolize sources of comfort while resenting structures that impose discipline and order. This perceived moral deficiency is used to justify the construction of a rigid and fear-driven cosmology, in which both devotion and dread are systematically harvested and administered by unseen authorities acting as custodians of balance.
Accordingly, the ideal state promotes the establishment of public institutions tasked with auditing civic devotion. These bodies monitor, measure, and regulate the distribution of praise among all sanctioned archetypal powers, ensuring that none are neglected. Punishments for imbalance or omission are severe, symbolic, and deliberately theatrical. Central to this system are annual state-sanctioned reenactments of global annihilation, during which citizens are required to collectively plead for forgiveness from obscured forces. These rituals serve to reaffirm submission, reinforce the supremacy of the hidden powers, and remind the population that survival itself is conditional.
