Dongchuang Autocracy

The Dongchuang Autocracy is the autocratic, totalitarian and isolationist governing body of much of the planet Tōshō, known as Dongchuang to the natives. They are not aligned with the Empire and are considered an extremely dangerous and illegal rebel group. Due to extremely adverse natural conditions on the planet and the unexpectedly powerful military strength of this illegitimate government, the Empire has unfortunately been unable to attain control of Tōshō beyond a few scattered colonies on the hospitable equatorial belt.

The self-titled Autocracy was formed soon after the colonisation of Tōshō. It is a largely self-reliant socialist state with settlements planetwide, primarily underground in the inhospitable north and southern hemispheres. The means of production are owned by the state through state-run enterprises and collectivized underground farms. Most services such as healthcare, education, housing and food production are subsidized or state-funded.

Its guiding ideologies include the promotion of a sense of racial superiority, as the Dongren consider themselves and their biological adaptation to the harsh Tōshō environment a mark of racial supremacy. The state also believes in the equality of all and the desperate need for national unity in the face of scarce resources and adverse conditions. The military is also considered to hold priority over all other aspects of the society.
