== Biography ==
=== Youth ===
Born in the year 310 TE, Abusaja was born in the early years of the Zilatran popular interim government. His parents were guerilla soldiers who fought to demolish the Baszku Kingdoms in favor of forming Zilatra. His parents organized peasantry in the various enclaves across southern Kejafros. His mother, Baqiya si Hacz, led armies against the Kingdom.
Abusaja is attested to have had a very turbulent childhood. His father, Yaba si Gadus, died when Abusaja was merely two years old, succumbing to long-held injuries which his father acquired during the peasant revolt. The lack of adequate medical infrastructure meant that he could never be properly treated.
Abusaja's name indicates he was born on a Sunday, which in traditional Baszku spirituality is the day of the human. Abusaja's mother envisioned that he represented a new generation which would lead the Baszku people onto a greater path without oppression or monarchies. This led to Baqiya pushing Abusaja in the direction of politics, insisting that he too fight for all those who are oppressed.
=== Juvenile years ===
In his early years, Abusaja was sent to rigorous schools. He began reading the political and economic theory that the Lo'Oix people brought from Eldham; being mesmerized by the ideas, developing a desire to fight for others the same way his mother did. He traveled Abexilas to learn more about the world and if people practiced and believed in the same ideas as his own people. He quickly discovered the cruel world that lies outside of Zilatra, realizing that the idea taught to him aren't held to the same regard elsewhere.
After numerous years of traveling, he came back home to Zilatra, understanding that for the first time his efforts are best spent building up Zilatra.
=== Early career ===
With his return to Zilatra in 16 VE, Abusaja sought to help build up the nation. He would participate in politics wherever he could, immediately joining the Xeroist Union party and applying for the elections of the Second Kelitá, where he earned a prestigious Seat IV. He would go on to rise through the ranks of the Industrial Commissariat, becoming the Industrial Commissar in due time and developing the early economy of Zilatra. He would also attend to roles in the Construction Commissariat, where he at one point maintained a role as Assistant Commissar.
