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 revoltuon 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. Zemasy protets 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.
In 1978, the government of Seketan changed drastically. The country was reorganized to a unitary state which included Wilsk populations in the Commons Council. Wilskland retained its constitutionally protected institutions despite being further integrated, and Fjeska was reorganized into a devolved subdivision with the same status as Wilskland.
The collapse of authoritarian rule created sweeping waves of optimistic patriotism. After Zemasy concluded, Daynça Viž commenced a cultural renewal in Seketan.
