Political and Societal System
Ivaenjaliyan society is organised around the Gehennavist concept of pavule minisun (trans. family men). Due to the nation's nature of being mainly based on many small but elevated high islands, there is often only enough room for a single family to live and raise their livestock. The extremely low population density and spread of the population means that every family is, for all intents and purposes, practically autonomous. People typically follow the trade set out by their fore-fathers, most often rearing livestock and harvesting grown produce, however the sons that return home after their traditional samamuhurtakaraṇaya (trans. synchronisation) will often be taught in medicine, metal-working or other useful skills, to alleviate some of the reliance the family has on other Gayiyan families that have practised specialised skills for generations. Families pay a tithe every decade-and-a-half in the form of goods to the central monastery, indeed goods are often traded without the use of currency and no currency is recognised by the central monastery. Very little industrialisation has taken place within Ivaenjaliyan, the spread out nature of the populace and Gehennavist scriptures hindering it significantly. Upon the Aebaṭ's death, a successor is chosen from amongst the upper ranks of the central monastery, stripping themselves of all former identity they held and taking the name of Lilitadamandeve.
Samamuhurtakaraṇaya
Upon reaching the age of 8, male children are sent to the central monastery, where they spend two decades in training. There they're taught the path of the swordsman, the path of the scholar and the path of the monk, the three central tenants of the īvā, the perfect soldier within Gehennavist philosophy, alongside other skills that they'll find useful in day-to-day life. This is done in an effort to prepare the population for Gehennava, the final battle that could break out at any second within the third impact of the Gehennavist cyclical cycle of the death and rebirth of the human race. The effort also instils within the children a fierce sense of fanaticism and nationalism, comradeship with many others their age being woven through the experience. It also gives them a proper education, where up to the age of they left, they were homeschooled by their mother. Returning home from Samamuhurtakaraṇaya is a cause of celebration for many families, the returning son often receiving the symbol of Gehennava (the seven-eyed pyramid) branded onto their forehead as a sign of celebration and resistance to evil. Sadly for some families, if their son is found to be a Dakinava (trans. seeing) they'll never them again. Dakinava are said to be "blessed" with the ability to see what others cannot and are said to be able to draw the subconscious reality into the conscious. (OOC- they cannot, this is not me using magic in rp, this is pure superstition and religion.) They are recruited into the central monastry, as their perceived magic is thought of as a great tool to use during Gehennava.
