Burayan State

The Burayan Democratic Republic, often informally known as Buraya, is a sovereign nation located on the south east coast of Caerus within the world of Abexilas. It is a Parliamentary Republic that follows the ideology of Democratic Xeroist. Many governments excited in Buraya with the most recent being founded after the Burayan Revolution which saw the overthrow of a corporate government known as the Burayan State. The country was founded in 304 TE.
Buraya city sits upon the Tsarus Sea bordering the Romilian Kingdom and Zaryt Republic of Krasnoi. The city of Buraya is the sole territory of the Burayan Democratic Republic making the country a city state. Buraya is predominately ethnically Baszku descendants from an old city known as Tyafara now modern day New Falka. Minority groups include Naveerese and Krazniks. 
Naming Convention
The official name of the country is the Burayan Democratic Republic, though most residents refer to the government as “Buraya" this is the symbolize that the people are much more than the naming convention of the state. A famous saying during the Burayan Revolution is, "It has always and will be Buraya." 
With a long history of occupation and corporate lead repression, many monitories do not practice their traditional languages preferring to speak Baszku as a way to fit in more with society. 
The most commonly spoken tongue other than Baszku is Naveerse with many ethnically Naveerse not seeing much repression under the know overthrown Burayan State. The Naveerse people refer to Buraya as Buraiyi. 
Government
The government of the Burayan State is described as an oligarchic corporate government. This legal arrangement started in 304 TE with Burayas independence from Tyafara and the creation of the Statute of the Buryan State. This Statute infused the Burayan State Export Company with the powers of the state and ensured that all Burayan citizens were registered as employees with BSEC. 
The highest organ of state and corporate power comes from a shady group known as the Board of Directors. This Board appoints a Chief Executive, State Asset Manager, and Chief of Operations. The Board of Directors appoints itself with members being added and removed with a simple majority vote. 
At the forefront of the government is the Chief Executive which serves until voted out by the Board of Directors. The Chief Executive serves as Head of State, Head of Government, and Chief Executive Officer of BEC. The Chief Executive is mainly a hereditary role given to the oldest member of the Sikarala dynasty . 
The State Asset Manager serves as the right hand of the Chief Executive. Historically this role is used to promote unity and is given to the opposition leader of the corporate government. The State Asset Manager has little power and closely watched by the Board of Directors and Chief Executive.
The Chief of Operations is the head diplomat of Buraya and head negotiator for the Burayan State Export Company. This position is seen as the second most powerful position and usually given to long time allies of the  Sikarala dynasty. The Chief of Operations mainly does diplomacy for the interest of the cooperation focusing on trade deals with lucrative investors rather than establishing relationships with regional actors. 
Citizens
Citizens of the Buryan State are registered as employees once they are the age of 10. Employees are assigned to sectors such as building, energy, mining, or forging based on the needs of the corporate government. It is common for a citizen to eat, sleep, and work only with other members of their sector witch restrict ethnic minorities to associate and practice there traditions but through such an arrangement, many groups have there own special way of staying in touch. 
Same slivers of rascim still exsict in the Burayan Democratic Republic. The Baszku ethnic group makes up 68% of the population which is roughly 102,000 of the citizenry. Members of this ethnic group are “seen as the most pure” in society, making many Baszkus adhere to ethno-supremacist ideals. Many Baszkus within the country are estranged from more mainstream traditions which are mainly practiced in the continent of Kejafros. Baszkus hold their self worth entirely on their ability to work and produce for the Burayan State Export Company. Competition is fierce between family members, neighbors, and even lovers who would be willing to betray one another for the sake of social advancement. In recent decades with the rise of Xeroism and the Burayan Workers Party, there has been a trend away from competitive social behaviors and towards more communal oriented values. Baszkus who consider themselves Xeroist believe in working for oneself as well as for one's community. People leading by example have slowly chipped away at very bad cultural habits allowing for new norms to come in the future. Sacredism which originated in Naveere has played a role in the cultural shift promoting nature oriented spirituality and focus away from work. Post revolution, many customs stopped being hidden with religions like Sacredism rising greatly. 
The Naveereese people are the largest minority group within the country making up 21% of the population which is roughly 31,000 citizens. The Naveereese are the most defiant group within the Burayan State as they hold no high office or have any influence on the running of the country. 89% of Naveerese practice Sacredism as it originated from the Socialist Republic of Naveere. Naveerese people are treated unusually harshly by the Burayan State as 95% of Naveerse citizens are members of the Burayan Workers Party, the largest opposition party to the corporate government. During the late hours of the night, Naveerse people meet in small gatherings to plan action against the corporate government as well as speak their native language and enjoy each others company.
