Komasarism

Komasarism (Koman: Khomaṣar, meaning 'the Koman way'), is the core ideology guiding the Imperial State of Komania. It's occasionally mistakenly referred to as Sahbarism. This ideology was established by Prime Minister Sahbâr Aharli, fondly referred to as Hashajan 'The Reformer', in 1958. The principles of Komasarism are deeply rooted in the values and philosophies of Koman culture, originally shaped during the epoch of the Great Horde, and adapted within the framework of Sannist principles. Its connections also extend to the previous nomadic Tamir Khanate, from which Komans descend. Komasarism could be labelled as a form of Reactionary Sannism.

Komasarism places heavy emphasis on non-partisanship, and as a result, lacks any representative political party, instead, it is fully integrated into the 1958 Koman Constitution. As such, the government is expected to abide by its principles. It is this ideology that commanded the Yellow Purge and triggered backlash against foreign influences shortly after the Koman Civil War.

Emphasis on Militarism

Militarism is a core aspect of Komasarism, primarily due to the aftermath of the Koman Civil War. The protracted conflict has significantly increased the accessibility of firearms to the general civilian population, leaving a lasting mark of militancy in society. Prime Minister Sahbâr Aharli adeptly capitalized on this prevailing militaristic sentiment, utilizing it as an opportunity to rally support against perceived threats from Kuulists and Balkists. This was done as a preventive measure, to avoid the rise of paramilitary groups filling the power vacuum once the civil war came to an end.

Aharli strategically implemented policies aimed at further militarizing the state, harnessing the existing militarism as a means to consolidate power and promote the interests of the Komasarist regime. This militaristic approach served to cultivate a sense of national unity and strength, bolstering the government's authority while fostering a climate of militaristic fervour among the populace.

To a larger extent, Aharli's policies mainly consisted of programs such as the creation of military youth groups, obligatory registration of firearms, mandatory military service, compulsory indoctrination through welfare programs and the infamous Kharem Ishkumar program. As well as a complete overhaul of the penitentiary system to include 'deviants', meaning people non-conforming to state ideology.

As a result, Komasarism has become synonymous with a robust military presence, which has led to a greater degree of authoritarianism, with militarism permeating various aspects of society. The legacy of the civil war and the subsequent rise of former military cliques have left an indelible imprint on the Koman psyche, shaping their perception of security and national identity.

State Religion

By custom, Komasarism abides by Shawadii Zarasaism as the Religion of State of the Imperial State, codified into the Tughanjuh Proclamation and into the Koman 1958 Constitution. As a result, the state rejects any religion or denomination that the Constitution does not accept. However, politicians and government members are prohibited from using religious values as a basis for administrative matters, judicial reviews and decisions, and executive matters, as the 1958 Constitution dictates that state laws precede religious principles.
