Tanaya Soviet People's Republic is a state in the east Mu-Kal, situated on the east coast of Talia Sound in Tanaya river valley. It has 52,520,520 inhabitants as per 2019 census, 55% of which are situated in the central and north-eastern half of the country known as Koltsograd (Ring-City).

There are evidences of cultures in Tanayan Valley going as far as 13,000 years ago and the first recognizable political entity, called Tanayan Early Tsardom emerged in 40th Century BCE. Further state developments included Tanayan Old Tsardom, Middle Tsardom and New Tsardom, combined in Tanaya Tsarist Era; during the entirety of that era Tsardoms contested control of Talia Sound with neighboring societies.

Economic crisis of 1880 weakened the New Tsardom already in decline and gave the rise for the worker movement, culminating in creating Tanaya Revolutionary Party (TRP) in 1901. Although industrialization and militarization programs facilitated the recovery, they did little to alleviate class conflicts. June Uprising of 1934 turned into the full-blown Tanayan Revolution which lead the country to a civil war between monarch-capitalist ruling block and foreign anti-communist supporters and TRP, now organized into a fighting force called Tanaya Revolutionary Army.

After a five-year Tanaya Civil War, TRP emerged victorious and Tanaya Soviet People's Republic was established in 1939. Initial economic and cultural politics helped the country to recover from the civil war; however, the expansion of bureaucratic machine eventually lead to the conflicts in the TRP. With bureaucracy initiating repressions against TRP intelligentsia core, its wings combined their efforts and started the Second Tanayan Revolution in 1951 culminating in a wave of purges against pro-bureaucratic elements of TRP. Its later consequence was the loss of monopoly by TRP and establishment of several other political intelligentsia organizations.

Today, TSPR is one of the leading members of the International Revolutionary Pact and the main socialist power in the Eastern Hemisphere, but it also maintains friendly relations with Mu-Kal countries, being a member of the Mu-Kal Union. TSPR planned economy is in the top-20 economies of Olympia by GDP and is the first economy in the world featuring centralized computer coordination; despite including several market elements, it has the least market influence within the socialist block.

Etymology

The name "Tanaya" was first found in the document of Middle Tsardom from ~800 BCE known as Irrigation Engineering Paper #70-19-205, done by an irrigation engineer named Volk. He referred to "Tana" river and "Tana-Ya" area which was covered by his irrigation project. Further use of this constructed definition in that sense continued until 200 years later, when "Tanaya" was used in its modern sense, denoting the whole river.

Politics

Most of the political system of TSPR was established in the TSPR Constitution of 1939 and retained in the current TSPR Constitution of 1951, under which the country opeartes. TSPR is a workplace council republic operating as an organic semi-direct democracy.

The primitive cell of the TSPR council system is a workplace collecitve, forming a Workplace council from its members. Workplace councils elect City councils, City councils elect Oblast' (county) councils, Oblast' councils elect Regional councils. Oblast' and Regional councils send delegates to the Assembly of Soviets of Tanayan S.P.R. (AoS), which is the supreme collective organ of power in the Republic. All councils above Workplace level also have their Executive Committees for day-to-day operations.

The system operates with imperative mandate and under the principle of democratic centralism: the decisions of the upper councils are mandatory for the lower councils. The AoS decisions, coming from the supreme power in the Republic, are mandatory for all councils down and affected by the decision. In practice most of the decisions approved by AoS are localized for the Regional Councils.

Assembly of Soviets convenes four times a year on a month-long sessions. Between them, the operations are handled by the Central Executive Committee (CEC) appointed by AoS. Central Executive Committee is formed directly from the AoS members, the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, Chairman Directors of the Central Institutes, Chairman of the Rabkrinkon, Chairman of the Supreme Court and other appointed or coopted individuals. The day-to-day operations of the CEC are handled by the Presidium of the CEC, which is the formal head of state and head of government of the Republic, reporting to the AoS. Presidium is appointed by CEC and approved by AoS. Any member of the Presidium of the CEC may represent it abroad.

The executive power is maintained by Councils of all levels; however, there is a system of civil government centered around the Council of People's Commissars (CONPECOM), subordinated to the CEC. Commissars are appointed by the AoS alongside with CEC.

Another organ of political power is the Workers', Peasants' and Intellectuals' Control Inspection (Rabkrinkon), serving to check bureaucracy and Councils of all levels. It has Regional, Oblast' and City levels and is elected by respective Councils. The only prerequisite requirement until 1967 was the membership in TRP or TMRP; since then it was lifted.

Judicial system is composed from the City, Oblast', Regional courts, members of which are elected. Councils may conduct judicial procedures on minor matters themselves. THe Assembly of Soviets serves as the Supreme Court; in practice, Presidium conducts judicial matters most of the time. TSPR employs death penalty.

The term of the AoS, its Presidium and CEC, CONPECOM, Region and Oblast' Councils, Regional and Oblast Rabkrinkon Commissionaries and all judges is four years; City and Workplace councils and City Rabkrinkon Commissionaries have a two-year term.

Revolutionary parties

A revolutionary party can be defined as a group of social-oriented intelligentsia working together as a united political entity, not necessarily as an actual political party, to achieve a revolution, not necessarily global, and coordinate the post-revolutionary state to achieve its minimal and maximal program using political power. Going by this definition, there are two revolutionary parties in TSPR ─ Tanayan Revolutionary Party (Танаjска Революционарна Партия, TRP) and its radical offshoot, Tanayan Maximalist Revolutionary Party (Танаjска Максималистична Революционарна Партия, TMRP).

TRP, formed from five parties in 1901, was the heart of both Tanayan Revolutions, but in the aftermath of discussions in 1950s its left communist wing split from it, forming TMRP. Parties coexist in coalition, maintaining significant ideological influence as well as a political oversight over whatever is left of bureaucratic machine since Rabkrinkon is technically non-partisan people's oversight structure. One of the TMRP leadership always resides in the Presidium and Maximalists maintain their faction in the AoS.

Both parties maintain a fairly enclosed and democratic centralist internal structure and have strict requirements for membership, both parties employ TSPR resources in advancing the wordwide socialist agenda and both parties raised cadre for structures of TSPR. Thus, the relationship between TSPR and TRP/TMRP can be considered symbiotic with parties guiding the state ideologically while the state is providing parties with materiel for socialist revolution which, in the end, is a joint goal of both. Internal critics, however, point out that TRP and TMRP operate independently enough from TSPR popular leadership to occasionally get "out of hand", casting an unnecessary shadow on Tanaya.

Foreign relations

TSPR foreign policy is driven and regulated by TSPR Constitution of 1951, "Foundations of Revolutionary Policy in the Eastern Hemisphere" of 1953 and Stamboliyskiy Doctrine of 1954.

According to the Preamble of the Constitution of 1951: "a 'socialist' state not being a material base and a working engine of the socialist revolution has neither any reason nor any right to exist"; as such, TSPR primary political goal is the worldwide socialist revolution and all means are subordinated to that goal. Nevertheless, in practice, TSPR more often than not conducts its policy with the Stamboliyskiy Doctrine demanding local "homeland" security and alliances within Mu-Kal, however unstable.

TSPR is a founding member of the International Revolutionary Pact alongside with the People's Republic of Velkanika and is considered primary socialist power in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is also one of the key members of the Mu-Kal Union representing the leftmost wing of all countries in it. Finally, as per 2020, TSPR is an observer in the International Meronophone Organization; the official position is that membership there serves as the check on potential neocolonialist moves in the South-East Nori area.
