Kabaya'an
Kabaya'an is the political policy of promoting or protecting the interests of native and indigenous centered political and economic relationships within the geographic Ozeros Sea, based in the support of social, economic, cultural, and development based policies that benefit a certain set of nations.
Translated and better identified as Ozeroscentrism in scholarly fields, this ideological identity focuses more on specific forms of intercultural exchange and regionally locked interests rather than pressure towards certain political systems or economic models. Bodies that are analyzed as being vessels that promote this identity include the Association of Ozeros Nations (AON), Vespanian Exchange Institute (VEx), Equatorial Trade Forum (Foareko) and the Kayatman Security Association (KSA). The term itself is used by various scholarly bodies and political goups with distinct definitons and ideological implications.
By Country
Kabaya'an translates and presents itself in different ways depending on the national identity and internal political framework of the nation it is present within, however the following nations all host strong historical and contemporary trends of promoting Kabaya'an-centered policy and values.
Ankat
Bemiritra
Daobac
The Daoan government and general population are strong proponents of the concepts of Kabaya'anism, with annual public opinion polls in the last decade showing strong support for further integration amongst nations of the Ozeros region. Political parties in Daobac that subscribe to Kabaya'an are commonly referred to as Pro-Ozeroscentrism with the current ruling party, the Progressive Party, having placed it as part of its core ideology. The strong Pro-Ozerocentrist sentiment is largely due to the Daoans experience of being the target of conquest by Da Huang from the Ochran mainland. The First and Second Cross-Strait Wars had a significant impact in emphasizing the need for a strong and unified Ozerosi region for the nation to resist and deter aggression from foreign powers. Tsurushima's approach towards a pan-Ochran movement greatly inspired the Daoans to galvinize the Ozeros nations to form its own strong and unique identity that would allow it to maintain a free and active foreign policy. Daobac's ultimate vision is for a political and economically integriated Ozerosi region and it has actively supported and pushed for the establishment of intergovernmental organizations that it perceived to be able to become vessels to achieve that goal. Daobac is a founding member of the Association of Ozeros Nations, Equatorial Trade Forum and the Kayatman Security Asssociation. Many conglomorates and businesses of Daoan origin are members of the Vespanian Exchange Institute.
Fahran
A form of Proto-Kabaya'an, defined by anxiety about encroachments by the rapidly expanding Mutulese maritime empire, began to emerge in Fahran as early as the 1650s. In the lead-up to the Ozeros War, the Caliph al-Mu'tamid, influenced by his grand vizier Mahir ibn Saadallah, assumed a sympathetic outlook towards the struggle of the 'Iifae Imamates, meeting with Jao Avotra, the self-proclaimed imam and mahdi, on two separate occasions.
Pulacan
Kabaya'an has been central to the Union State's federal government for many years. The groundwork for such influence was paved during the Hanaki War of the late 1920s, which saw an informal coalition of Ozerosi states repel Mzanzi irredentist military incursions. The Mzanzi-led invasion of north Pulacan, and the tribal revolt it inspired, were burned into the memories of the era's political leaders, themselves predisposed to collective shellshock from the violence of the previous generation's wars of Pulatec unification. As such, the mid-20th century was heavily defined by Pulacan pursuing a "friends with all, enemies with none" foreign policy; the federal government largely aimed to foster positive relations with as many other local powers as possible while avoiding entanglement in alliances and mediating diplomatic conflicts. The mixed success of this policy, combined with the Pulaui push for greater regional integration at the expense of outside powers beginning in the 1950s, saw many in government wishing to change course. Pro-Pulaui politicians were able to, among other strategies, harness historical enmity with Zanzali and the history of the spirit of cooperation against a common enemy in the Hanaki War to successfully persuade the voting electorate. By the time of the national plebiscite to join the Association of Ozeros Nations in 1957, Pulacan at large had shifted its foreign policy focus from preserving an aloof, noncommittal attitude to one of full support of Ozeroscentrism and a firm ally of Pulau Keramat.
Pulau Keramat
Pulau Keramat, like Ankat, ties the ideological roots and origins of historical Kabaya'an identity to the post Mutulese Ochran period, as sentiment of solidarity in the post colonial architecture - especially given the development of foreign interests such as Arthurista immediately following the end of Mutulese colonial presence - was framed heavily by the two newly independent nations.
Pulau Keramat, and the academics that center themselves within the archipelago, have been seen as some of the earliest and most prolific efforts of expressing and promoting Kabaya'an, especially through internationally reaching bodies such as the Association of Ozeros Nations and the Vespanian Exchange Institute. The manner of how Pulau Keramat has interacted within its neighborhood, such as evidenced by its intervention in the Nkomo Accords and the Fahrani Civil War, indicates that a majority of international policy and interventionism by the archipelagic state is shaped by said policy values.
