Dzakwanist Gabrielland, officially the Great People's Gabrielt Revolutionary State of Dzakwanists (Gabrielt: Gadza Golvena Dzukana Vannyarganna Rul e Dzakwanoni), was a partially recognized state established after the Dzakwanist coup of 1976 containing the entirety of the Gabrielt realm and most of the new frontier which operated unter a totalitarian one party theocratic government with sole faith in Dzakwanism. It was controlled and administered by the People's Dzakwanist Party (PDP) from its establishment in 1976 until its political collapse in early 1980, forcing the democratically-elected Gabrielt republican government into exile in Arsya, establishing the Arsyan Republic.
During its rule, the state and its ruling PDP party were responsible both directly and indirectly for the deaths of between two and four million Gabrielts either by forced labor, executions, starvation, or disease. The PDP envisioned a utopian state based on the principles of Dzakwanism and its implementations on everyday life, and sought to transform Gabrielt society by forcing the return of peasant-agrarian life coupled with a rudimentary form of manufacturing. In January of 1980, the PDP collapsed due to tumultuous pressure from the new years' eve protests known as the people's uprising and numerous rebel guerillas present since the inception of Dzakwanist Gabrielland.
In its history, Dzakwanist Gabrielland was mainly seen by foreign powers as a rebellious and separatist movement from the legitimate Gabrielt government now in exile within the borders of its own country, and was still treated as a part of the Arsyan Republic when it officially changed its name on the 1st of January 1977. The Arsyan Republic is considered the sole successor of the Gabrielt and Arsyan Republic, which is succeeded by the Federation of Gabrielland and Arsya upon reinstallment of power in 1980, however in practice, were two separate countries under different sets of laws, and many suggest the legitimacy of Dzakwanist Gabrielland as embassies from around Anteria have opened branches both in Vailhims and Sangur, the capital of the Arsyan Republic.
The state formally ceased to exist on 1 May 1980 when the newly democratically elected government of the Arsyan Republic was sworn into office, and the reunification of two sides happened.
Context
The People's Dzakwanist Party (PDP), after gaining some political power in the early 1970s through various support of the farmers and the workers, planned a takeover of the government then dominated by Arsyans, who were not Dzakwanists, and return Gabrielland into the ideal utopia and paradise that was envisioned in the teachings of Dzakwan through agrarian renewal and embracement. With such heavy support from peasants, farmers, and workers, the PDP won a landslide election within Gabrielland and controlled a majority of seats in the parliament. On the 11th of February 1976, with the help of military forces loyal to the Mariyan Galli, the party leader, seized control of Vailhims and other strategic points within the realm of Gabrielland, and quickly captured towns and cities, emptying them of any influences of past governments.
The PDP used the pretext of neocolonialism from inside the country as the base of their operations, sacking any non-Gabrielts from official posts and high-ranking titles, while using racial purity and the continuation of Dzakwan's helpers as a justification to remove the "unwanted" people, mostly those who opposed the PDP, intellectuals, and city folk. The context of self-sufficience and the utopian dream of self-production across all fields was achieved through forced labour both in the fields and factories, though the factories were reserved for people with higher statuses. With these pretexts in mind, the PDP enabled itself to commit the atrocities and violations towards the Gabrielt people.
The actions of the PDP were only present in the Gabrielt realm. Within Arsya, the PDP failed to gain a single seat both in the national parliament and the regional parliament. After the fall of Vailhims on the 11th of February 1976, Mariyan Galli became the supreme leader of Dzakwanist Gabrielland, while appointing Lailan Torima as the chancellor, though he fell out of favor quickly and was sacked off his position before July 1976. Mariyan Galli initially sought to bring the entire former Gabrielt and Arsyan Republic under the PDP's rule, however realized with lack of support from the local population and most high-ranking officials, the task was deemed impossible, and operated under the pretext of "the motherland divided within political lines."
History
The historical contents of Dzakwanist Gabrielland in the context of modern day Gabrielland is a sensitive issue, and has been regarded by the federal government to be "the darkest times ever since the act of union". It is still illegal to support the PDP in any form or manner in some parts of the country, most notably Arsya and the New Frontier.
Rise to power
The PDP was formed in 1968 as a far-right Gabrielt nationalist party strictly adhering to Dzakwanist principles as a response to the growing Arsyan hegemony both in political, social and economic contexts. A lot of their base of support comes from small farmers, herders, factory workers and other disenfranchised people. Gaining political traction quickly, the PDP managed to win four seats in the Gabrielt and Arsyan People's Communion. The PDP continued to campaign massively in the countryside and in rural settings, and their popularity and electability soared.
In 1974, Mariyan Galli was imprisoned after his remarks towards Arsyans and non-Gabrielts in general, sparking massive protests in various cities across Gabrielland, demanding the release of Mariyan Galli. Support for the PDP was miniscule in the cities, and many city residents resisted these protests in counter-protests demanding rural protesters to exit the city immediately. Many cite the use of the city and urban environment to their advantage and destroying public facilities in the process. Martial law was declared on the 28th of June 1974, and protests subsided. In early 1975, Mariyan Galli was released from prison with new-found support, still mostly rural voters, and the popularity of the PDP reached an all time high.
In the 1975 general elections, the PDP won a majority of the seats in parliament, effectively controlling all aspects of government and bureaucracy. President Lilgyir was put in a state of no-confidence and was subsequently removed from office, and two months following the general elections, snap presidential elections were held, with Mariyan Galli being the only candidate. The elections have been criticized by the international community as a sham election, however was carried out anyways. Mariyan Galli thus became President of the Republic, appointing Gosta Lannyarni as the new prime minister. Many officials of the previous government were sacked of their position and replaced by loyalists of the PDP regardless of their ability.
On the 19th of December 1975, a massive student movement occured in Vailhims protesting the authoritarian moves of the PDP and its plans to limit political and personal freedoms. The protest, known as blue December in reference to the blue uniforms worn by the students, would mark a turning point in the future policies of the PDP. Mariyan Galli, along with Prime Minister Gosta Lannyarni, adopted more stringent prohibitions and regulations on day-to-day life, fearing opposition and potential usurpers to the leadership of the country.
