The **VaushAgoist Autonomous Municipalities**, also known as the **People's Revolutionary VaushAgoist Republic** or the **Gravisist Area** are *de facto* autonomous territories occupied by the Gravisist-VaushAgoist Army of the VaushAgo International and the Gravisist Party in the Myjohanian State of the Levant. It was established in October 2021 following the Gravisist uprising in which radical VaushAgoist supporters of Gravis took control of the eastern parts of the Levant belonging to the Myjohanian Union. The area is the central region of the 2021 Gravis-Myjohano civil war. Despite attempts at negotiation with the Myjohanian government, the VaushAgoist Municipalities are internationally recognized as being occupied by a terrorist organization. They are currently in armed conflicts with the Myjohanian Defense Force.

The Gravisist-VaushAgoist army, or GVA holds absolute power in the autonomous municipalties. According to its constitution, the municipalities are a proto-state that is moving towards a Post-VaushAgoist Utopia, with Gravis as its current People's Democratic Dictator. The region has been widely described as Gravisist.

## Background

### The VaushAgoist split

Throughout 2021, a split occurred in the VaushAgoist movement, as the more "moderate" far-right VaushAgoists in Yekaterin argued for a "cleaning up" of the movement. Encouraging VaushAgoist to improve the movement's public image. The "moderate" advocates were lead by Jacob Pevsner, who and whose army had been pardoned following the Pevnser-Karlofist-VaushAgoist Armies participation in the Vaushist State's struggle against the UN in early 2021. Since the Myjohanian Union's formation, Pevnser has been persuing a career in politics in the Johanian Autonomous Republic, using a "rebranded" version of VaushAgoism.

The other VaushAgoists; the more radical far-right-left branch and in particular the Gravisists, strenously rejected the propositions to moderate their views. As they believed that their ideology is inherently revolutionary and absolute. This disagreement created a clear split in the movement, which effectively dissolved their previous cooperation through the VaushAgoist International, who sided with the Gravisists. Both sides retain the claim that they are the "true" VaushAgoists, while outside observers refer to the "moderates" as Pevnserists and the radicals as Gravisists.

The split has resulted in the Pevnser-lead party; the Vaush Ninjagoist Party in Siberia, and the Gravis-lead party or militia; the Vaush Ninjagoist Party in the **municipalities** sharing the same name.

### Gravisist uprising

Following the death of Kareastikuru, which reportedly made Gravis depressed and upset, he declared that his army was to seize control over the entire Arabian peninsula. In October 2021, the Gravisist Army successfully occupied eastern Levant in the Myjohanian Union, which they still hold to this day. The municipalities claims the entire peninsula and the 7th Heaven-controlled city of Al-Dualifin as its official capital.

## Government and politics

The government of the VaushAgo municipalities is under direct control of the Gravisist Party, which together with the First VaushAgo International and the GVA form the *de facto* government of the municipalities, as opposed to the internationally recognized *de jure* government of the eastern Autonomous Kingdom of Arabia. The party holding executive power, sharing executive power with the International, the latter of which controls the Gravistist-VaushAgoist Army. Gravis holding the position as the party's General Secretary and Supreme General of the GVA is the municipalities' leader, which has been described wielding dictatorial powers.

The VaushAgoist Municipalities do not claim to be sovereign, but rather claim to be a state of the Myjohanian Union. Though they are *de facto* independent.

### Governing system

The political system of the VaushAgoist Autonomous Municipalities takes place in a personalist dictatorship wherein Gravis, the leader of the Gravisist Party holds authority over the major organs of the municipalties' government.

Officially, the VaushAgoist Municipalities are a confederation of Gravisist communes, which together form a union of which the People's Democratic Dictator exercises their role as the communes' monarch. However, in practice, all of the controlled territory is highly centralized in its governance and only one commune exists. Gravis does not consider himself to be the chosen People's Democratic Dictator as he asserts that role must be fulfilled by somebody of the future "master species".

According to the Constitution of the Gravisist Area, there are officially three main branches of government. The first of these is the Communal Affairs Council (CAC), which acts as "the supreme guidance organ of communal sovereignty". Its role is to deliberate and decide the work on defense building of the municipalities, including major policies of the region, and to carry out the directions of the People's Democratic Dictator, Gravis.

Legislative power is held by the unicameral VaushAgo International's Assembly. Its 30 members are not elected. VaushAgo International's Assembly sessions are convened by the GVA, whose General represents the region in relations with the Organization for Unrecognized Countries. Deputies formally elect the General (Gravis), the vice-General (Ash) and members of the GVA and take part in the constitutionally appointed activities of the legislature: pass laws, establish domestic and officially, foreign policies, appoint members of the council, review and approve the municipalities' economic plan, among others. The GVA itself cannot initiate any legislation independently of party or state organs.

### Foreign relations

The VaushAgoist Autonomous Municipalities is not recognized as the legitimate government of the eastern Levant by any widely recognized and sovereign state. However, it is an observer-state of the non-partisan Organization for Unrecognized Countries (OUC). The municipaltities remain an observer-state since they do not claim to be sovereign but rather an integral part of the Myjohanian Union. In 2021, representatives of the Emission Free State of Svartalheim approached Gravis with a proposal for recognition, though Gravis rejected them and insulted their leader. Gravis instead reportedly opened negotiations with Sven, regarding how the Svenian Reich could exist as an autonomous component of the future global VaushAgo Utopia.

### Border disputes

The VaushAgoist Municipalities claim the entire Arabian peninsula; including overseas territories of 7th Heaven. Though the First VaushAgo International has not voiced issue with Khamael's administration over their headquarters in Al-Dualifin, which results in their relations and the disputes being in an ambigious state.
