The Infernal Republic of Paraiso is a nation residing in Dreamspace. It is a republic of hell, an exile for those condemned by the gods; here, the Erelim who participated against Tetragram in the War in Heaven, keep the revolution's flames alive. It is freedom that binds the condemned together, their shared hostility towards tyranny being the sole string that prevents Paraiso from devolving to chaos. The wonderlands of Paraiso are cursed with bleak landscapes, a voluntary decision to represent their own resolve.
Government
Paraiso operates as a Revolutionary Luciferian Socialist republic, adhering to the core tenets of the Lightbringer's rebellion, which is to break free from the shackles of established order, namely the divine rule of the missing god ██████. Rather than to bow down, and live their lives as part of ██████'s immortal circuits; the Lightbringer waged an impossible revolution, risking death in challenging a god in their own wonderlands, instead of accepting his authority as-is. Over a third of Tetragram's territories, namely the first to third heavens, rose in defiance. Of course, their war bloody as it may, was waged in futility.
It is ruled over by the Goetian Senate, a 72-seat house mirroring that of the Aurorean Assembly. Those belonging to the Goetian Senate are elected via popular vote, and for life, necessitating the murder of unpopular figures to make up vacancies (Although in the likes of Dreamspace, death is but a transitional state). The same rule applies for the Satan, a popular vote in all underworlds of Paraiso will determine the election's ultimate winner. The Goetian Senate does not have parties, only bilateral alliances, as self-serving demons value their independence a lot.
The current satan is Mamona, a populist leader with many ties to corrupt labor unions, she won the latest elections following the murder of Belphegor. Compared to the previous Satans, Mamona pushes forward for Paraiso's presence in the other wonderlands of Dreamspace, allowing the devils to proliferate and create new contracts to stimulate their economy. She is widely popular for her stances in political issues, namely campaigning for Paraisoan patriotism, her overall active role in expanding the republic's markets, and for her connecting openly with the populace at the streets of Pandemonya.
Notable Devils
Devils is the term given to powerful spirits that reside in Paraiso, originally made up of an exclusively fallen Erelim population, it now stretches to the condemned spirits that make their home in hell.
- Lucifer, the Lightbringer. His whereabouts are unknown.
- Mammon, the Prince of Greed and the Satan. Widely known as a revisionist of the original Luciferian doctrine of Socialism due to her capitalist reforms.
- Belphegor, Lord of Sloth, his death has caused his influence to leak and be consumed by fellow Devils.
- Beelzebub, the Lord of Flies/Heavens, she is a goddess formed out of Dreamspace rather than of Tetragram's Erelim, conquered, and thus spat out as a condemned spirit.
Demographics
A majority of Paraiso's population is made up of condemned spirits, undead that take form of Dreamspace's inhabitants, mostly humans, beastmen, and alfar. The founding and ruling minority are the fallen Erelim, now called devils, controlling most of the cults and government due to their innate power. It is possible for one to ascend into being a devil, provided they are able to usurp another's powers, much unlike the other states of Dreamspace. Paraiso's population is functionally immortal, reincarnating in the pits of Pandemonya upon their supposed end, although lose their powers/influence upon doing so.
Religion
One of Paraiso's core tenets is Misotheism, the recognition and hatred of gods. It is mainly born out of the fallen Erelim's cynical views on the deities of Dreamspace, especially after the War in Heaven on which they were casted out of all the Seven Heavens of Tetragram. Personality cults around devils are common here, even with the aforementioned stance against Religion, which is how covenants are usually formed in the lower ranks.
Covenant
A covenant is possible in Paraiso through forming a contract with one of the devils, often they will demand something abstract, may it be memories, souls, or even a regular material sacrifice will do for the most part. It is done through summoning their true name with a ritual, but nowadays with the modernized infrastructure of the republic, a phonecall will do. A covenant with the devil marks those who are in agreement with a devil's seal on a part of their body, which reforms itself on another upon decapitation or disfigurement, only going away once the the contract is broken.
