Zemasy (English: literally "stuggle") was a period societal stagnation and social change in Seketan during the 1970s. The era encompasses the last of years of Kjedorate autocratic rule in Seketan. It commenced in the late 1960s during which Seketan experienced a significant economic downturn, eventually culminating in the revolution and referendum of 1978.

Economic hardships and unreconciled ethnic relations led to various armed civil conflicts during Zemasy. The Fjeskan conflict was the bloodiest and most widely reported, which saw ethnic Fjeskans, Sekens, and Svealanders in conflict over the status of Fjeska. Wilsk insurgents staging attacks in Wilskland and beyond were a regular occurrence, but saw less unanimous ethnic support from Wilsks. Communist and neo-Sosymet insurgencies occured as well in various iterations. Zemasy protests against president and prime minister Etyjen Pesan and the Kjedorate Party rule contributed to a political schism in the Hérvynsken and the rise of various opposition parties. A violent revolution ousted Pesan from power, as law enforcement and military agencies support Seketan's eventual transition to democracy.

Name

Zemasy is a word in the Seketese language that literally means "struggle". In most contexts in Seketan, zemasy said alone is understood as referring to the period. In the Wilsk and Fjeskan languages, the period is referred to by its Seketese name.

Usage of zemasy has been traced to originiate since the beginning of the period, with media and literature lamenting the sociopolitical and economic sitaution in Seketan. By the mid 1970s, zemasy became the general motto of the time, with revolutionaries of the time advocating for the end of their zemasy.

Background

On the onset of zemasy, Seketan had been under the Kjedorate regime under the authoritarian rule of Loren Allis and later Etyjen Pesan. Political and personal freedom fluctated greatly under Kjedoratism.

Late 1960s

1970–1975

1975–1978

Aftermath

Legacy

After the revolution and referendum in 1978, Seketan political culture and rhetoric transitioned from Kjedorate domination to multi-party parliamentarianism. The Kjedorate party and its symbols largely fell out of use as the National Conservative Party became the largest centre-right party represented. Kjedoratism as a political term remains in use as a generally all-catching nationalist ideology and is further divided into specific positions, such as Orthodox Kjedoratism. Among Fjeskans and Wilsks, Zemasy is well remembered as a threshold moment in obtaining political and cultural liberties; the consequences of the era are still widely debated, as regionalist and separatist topics remain mainstream in Seketese political discourse.
