Achtilism

Mach'aqway ("serpent, snake") is commonly used by supporters of Achtilism as a symbol of supernatural strength.

Achtilism (Achtil Yuyay, "Achtil Thought") is the set of practices, beliefs, political opinions, and religious judgements based on the work of Pitiy Achtil, the first Supreme Leader of Kayahallpa or Kamasqa, and is the dominant philosophy of the Sacred Kayahallpan Republic. Achtilism is derived from the totality of his personal writings and speeches both before and after the Kayahallpan Revolution which brought his theocratic republic to power, but the tenets of Achtilism that established its enduring legacy as setting the framework for Kayahallpan political discourse were primarily established between the end of the Revolution in 1960 and Achtil's death in 1986. Achtilism today is a spectrum of related ideologies that share the common traits of Kayahallpan nationalism, the supremacy of the Sakbeist religion and Yuyaqpi tradition in all matters of daily life, belief in a theocratic government headed by the priesthood, usually with some sort of technocratic element (currently represented with the Great State Council), the use of vanguard forces both at home and abroad to maintain the Achtilist system in Kayahallpa, and the necessity of the export of revolution. Different factions of Achtilism vary in their views on economics and democratic participation, including economic views like aylluist traditionalism, socialism, mixed systems, and capitalism; and views on popular political participation ranging from democracy as a "central revolutionary character" to autocratic views.

In its more extensive and esoteric forms, the religious nature of Achtilism has morphed it into a complete reactionary pantheon of cultural mantras built around an eschatological belief in a coming New Cycle, where the Revolution itself serves the purpose of bringing humanity closer to the end of the universe and eternal reunion with the Gods in paradise. While not espoused by the majority of the Kayahallpan population, such beliefs in the divine nature of the Sacred Republic's political leadership have created a significant grouping of "Fanatics", committed individuals who form the backbone of the infamous anti-reformist "Enforcer" organizations.
