The Satrian Section of the Workers' International (SSWI) (Samundrese: सेक्शन इंटरनेशनल का सैट्रियन कर्मी, Seknā Īntaraneshanal kā Saṭrīyan Karmī), commonly known as the Satrian Section, is an umbrella group of socialist mass movements centered in Arthasthan, although it has branches across Satria. The Section claims to be the legitimate Section for Satria rather than its Ajahadyan counterpart. The SSWI's claim is recognized by the Congress of the Workers' International and the Association for International Socialism.

The SSWI originates from a 1934 split in the original Satrian Section of the Workers' International between the Ajahadyan and Arthani factions. Led by Sheru Ramprasad, the Section was one of the main forces behind the anti-colonial movement in Satria. At the onset of the Solarian War, forces allied with the Section known as the National Liberation Army, fought against Etruria forces. The Satrian Section declared the formation of the Satrian Commandery in 1944, but it wouldn't until after the Coian Evacuation that it achieved de jure independence. The Section would rule the Commandery until its reorganisation into the United Socialist Republics of Arthasthan in 1967. The Section integrated itself into the structure of the new government, and gradually subsumed many of its functions. Today the Section functions as part of the federal government and as the primary political forum for its member organisations.

The SSWI is described by the Arthani government as "the political base of people's power" as it operates through mass participation and popular mobilisation. It has a significant role in society by promoting national unity and ethnic and religious harmony. The Section revolves around a hierarchical system of committees, collectively known as the Councils, which are organized on the basis of councilism where each committee elects the next-highest committee. The Councils are organized into several hierarchical levels from the local level to the federal level. In addition, the Section's member organisations play a major role in the Section by conducting the Section's programs and policies. Representatives from its state councils and organisations meet at the annual National Section Council to determine policy and elect officials. The Congress elects the Secretariat which governs the Section when it is not in session. The Secretariat is led by the First Secretary, who is the leader of the Section and organises the Section's administration.

The Section is committed to socialism and continues to participate in the Congress of the Workers' International. According to the Section's constitution, the SSWI follows the principle of People's socialism, which combines Arthani culture, councilism, left-wing nationalism, and market based ideals into an ideology that the Section claims can guide the country to socialism. It importantly claims that Arthasthan has not yet achieved socialism and is in the process of building the basis for a future socialist system.

Organization

The SSWI's structure; upward arrows denote the appointment or election of members, downward denotes oversight.

The Section organized in a hierarchical and pyramid structure. The Section is controlled by its general party membership, which consists of 15 million people or 20% of the adult population. Its members participate at the grassroots level at neighbourhood or village section councils, which consist of other grassroots councils. These grassroots councils elect Sub-district section councils, who elects the next level.

At the federal level is the National Section Council. It meets annually to determine the national direction of the socialist movement and elect high party officials. When the National Section Council is not in session, daily duties and responsibilities are vested within the Secretariat, which consists of the Section's leadership and other high party officials. The Secretariat functions as a collective body that governs by consensus, with the First Secretary ruling as first among equals. Although the position is primarily responsible for civilian party duties, the First Secretary is effectively the Section's leader.

The third major party institution is the Section Congress which is an assembly of representatives of various organizations affiliated with the SSWI such as labour unions, youth organizations, cultural organizations, charities, and other groups. Its main purpose is to coordinate the policies of the national government with its member organisations and provide a political forum for the entire socialist movement.

The current Vijaylan Subsection of the Satrian Section of the Workers' International was reformed in Baekjeong in 1985 following a warming of relations between Baekjeong and Senrian-aligned Satrian states, chief among them Arthasthan. After the conclusion of the Third Satrian War, Baekjeong had reclaimed its lands lost to Ajahadya in the Dakian War. This more than doubled the number of ethnic Satrians living in the country and posed a major security concern for Ogbei, given the intensity of the Satrian Insurgencies in decades past. Rather than continue the prior crackdowns and repression of Satrian culture, Baekjeong instead implemented a policy of reconciliation and mediation with its Satrian Citizens. One of the earliest concessions granted was to allow the Satrian Section of the Workers' International to reform its Vijaylan branch as a political club and union.

The Eunyeon Compact of 1991 reaffirmed the right of the SSWI and its Subsection to exist as a unique ethnic union that represented workers of Vijayalan and Bumite heritage, the only union granted such a right. The first Subsection-affiliated assemblyman, Lee Sanjib, was elected in 1987. Following the 2004 elections, the Satrian Section was officially recognized as the ninth largest union in Baekjeong, allowing its registered members to elect seven assemblymen to union-reserved seats. As of the most recent 2019 elections, the SSWI has maintained its position as the ninth largest union, commanding seven union assemblymen, four directly elected assemblymen, and two provincial assemblymen for a total of thirteen seats out of four hundred in the Cheonrim Assembly. Membership has been on the rise, particularly in Western Bumayla, and it is predcited that in the next provincial election cycle, SSWI-VS-affiliated legislators will form a majority in two of the three local assemblies.

Today the Vijaylan Subsection is the largest Arthani SSWI affiliated organisation outside of Arthasthan.
