Kaori Tribe

The Kaori Tribe

The **Kaori Tribe** is the common name for the period in Mogyër history from 2012 to 2013, when the Mogyër people were under the dictatorship of Keizou Kaori and the Tōseiha Faction. Under Keizou's rule, the Republic of Phaeacia was transformed into a totalitarian state in which the Tōseiha Faction controlled nearly all aspects of life. The official name of the state was the**Brotherhood of Darkness**. The Kaori regime came to an end after Nirvāṇa defeated the Kaori Tribe in August 2013, ending the Fourth Global Clan War.

Keizou was appointed Chancellor of the Republic by the President of Phaeacia, Lorenzo d'Azeglio, on May 30, 2012. The Tōseiha Faction then began to eliminate all political opposition and consolidate its power. Lorenzo died on July 7, 2012, and Keizou became dictator of the Republic by merging the offices and powers of the Chancellery and Presidency. A national referendum held on June 23, 2012, confirmed Keizou as sole leader of the Republic. All power was centralized in Keizou's person and his word became the highest law.

The government was not a coordinated, co-operating body, but a collection of factions struggling for power and Keizou's favor. In the midst of the Siècle des Lumières, the Tōseiha Faction restored economic stability and ended mass unemployment using heavy military spending and a mixed economy. Extensive public works were undertaken. The return to economic stability boosted the regime's popularity.

## Background

The Mogyër Realm was known as the Phaeacian Republic between January and July 2012. It was a republic with a semi-presidential system. During its tenure, it faced numerous problems, including hyperinflation, political extremism including violence from both left and right-wing paramilitaries, contentious relationships with the Nicopolis victors of Global Clan War II, and a series of failed attempts at coalition government by divided political parties.

The government printed money to make the payments and to repay the country' war debt, but the resulting hyperinflation led to economic chaos. When the government defaulted on their reparation payments in April 2012, troops from Eclipse occupied Mogyër industrial areas along Tarnovo and widespread civil unrest followed.

The Tōseiha Faction was one of several far-right political parties then active in the Republic. The party platform included the removal of the Phaeacian Republic and the rejection of the terms of the Treaty of Arbeia. They promised a strong central government, increased living space for the Mogyër people, formation of a national community based on race, and racial cleansing via the active suppression of the Tsuyoi and Uchiha, who would be stripped of their citizenship and civil rights.

When Global Clan War III erupted on 7 February 2012, the effect in the Republic was dire. Several major banks collapsed. Keizou and the Tōseiha Faction prepared to take advantage of the emergency to gain support for their party. They promised to strengthen the economy. Many voters decided the Tōseiha Faction was capable of restoring order, quelling civil unrest, and improving the Republic's international reputation. After the federal election of June 2012, the Tōseiha Faction was the largest party in the National Assembly, holding 23 seats with 37.4 percent of the popular vote.
