Ōato:12:40| May Ōmatórij have mercy on us all and guide its great patron into the abyss; away from strife. Our great leader Ditor-Sōto Jācī Lāzīn has died during an failed TSA operation to release him from the chains of his illegal imprisonment by Afalian authorities. Their reasoning being that the was involved in leading the Shōgun's illegal invasion of Afalia . Such beliefs were unfounded however the trial informed his truthful evidence but was trapped in a police station which was later attacked by unknown "vigilantes" (who had ASA written on their backs) and destroyed much of the police station were he was being held. While badly injured by the vigilantes; Jācī persevered with the trial but was moved to another prison complex as the trial was suspended. Later the TSA Shinobi disguised as normal civilians assaulted the facility and managed to break the Ditor out of his holding cell but not without him taking a single hollow point round to his leg. Then they left and headed to a farm outside of Blackdon where they had hidden Type-17 ground attack craft which was converted to a high speed civilian tiltrotor and a type-11 light utility transport for the Shinobi. The Type-11 was easily shot down by Afalian airforce however using his skill in fight and clever usage of flares, Lāzīn managed to reach the coast line and was near the Type-88 ACV but was shot down by a missile, casting him and his co-pilot into the ocean were their corpses now rest. The Type-88 quickly fled the scene and managed to slip away from Afalian waters with ease.
After little progress was made by the Afalian authorities and after the wreckage of both aircraft was recovered, Lāzīn was declared KIA and this was confirmed by the TSA Shinobi core soon afterwards. It was believed that Lāzīn's body was completely destoryed by the missile impacting the craft and his blood was found on throughout what remained of the cockpit. With Lāzīn's death, the Enclave has declared a week of mourning for him and his brother Warrant Officer Sān-Ēli Sai Lāzīn has returned from Afalia to be present at his funeral. There are also his consort Chief Administraitor Máchiko Lāzīn, his son and heir Lord-Master Húláng Lāzīn and his extended family. The streets were filled with those greatly saddened over the loss of their leader but was Jācī's rule like after he has now passed?
Born as a son of Lóng Míngzhì Lǐngdǎo zhě Lāzīn he was raised in the quickly modernising city of Ōato as a normal child in the States education system. He was described as an introverted but bright and devoted student. However at the age of 13 he was taken hostage by the ruthless terroist organisation known as the Kēng National Revolutionary Front. He was subjected to torture in order to gain information about the now late Ditor Lóng Lāzīn. He managed to fight back for a while when the TSA Shinoni began to successfully assault the location were Lāzīn was held. Under the torture it was believed that Ditor Jācī Lāzīn's face was heavily disfigured. The event had no impact on Ditpr Jācī's mental health or lead to him developing antisocial/narcissistic tendencies all such accusations are lies spreads by KNRF and dissidents.
The Ditor upon learning about his fathers death inherited the throne at the age of 26 after a successful Rīdākyōtei where he was elected by the four Shōgun. He then proceeded to say the Great vow of service in order to complete his ascent to power. He said:
With the blessing of Ōmatórij
I Jacī Dānxīn yī Zhǔdǎo Kāimíng Lāzīn of the Great Clan of Lāzīn Here by swear to serve the Titianician people with gratitude
To protect the Titianician people from the horrors of the world
And to rule them with wisdom at all times.
I Jacī Dānxīn yī Zhǔdǎo Kāimíng Lāzīn of the Great Clan of Lāzīn Here by swear to serve the Titianician people with gratitude
To protect the Titianician people from the horrors of the world
And to rule them with wisdom at all times.
One of his first actions upon ascending to power was to reform the failing welfare system which failed to deal with the poverty of the cities and the workers of the villages. He began using the vast network of state industries and made them into an somewhat efficient method of rebrubishing the desolate parts of the main cities of Titianicia - he also specifically chose to redesign vast parts of the cities in order to avoid the problems of congestion reappearing. In order to make Titianicia economically sound he deregulated several industries and opened them up to international corporations however he gave state sponsorship to corporations which took a sustainable way of acquiring resources. This sponsorship gave companies far greater ease in navigating the Titianician economy. They had practically significantly smaller amounts of taxes (in comparison to the standard corporate taxes) as well as subsides in order to deal with the decrease of profit caused by their techniques. He also began the Nuclear regeneration program - creating private corporations to control the new network of thorium power plants in the country. In the year 2003 Titianicia was mostly energy independent from the world. Meanwhile the Titianician economy began capitalising on its ability to generate wealth by developing the local capability to produce consumer goods and started developing factories locally.
However then came along the 2nd Kēng rebellion spearhead by the KNRF. KNRF was lead by the terrorist leader Dai Liyasto a ruthless, sadistic figure who claimed to want the liberation of the Kēng people and the removal of all TItianician people's from the region. His racist agenda resulted in the horror of the slaughter of Rajoyo where a number of nuclear devices were detonated killing over 4.8 million innocent civilians. He also continued then continued to attempt to assassinate the Ditor and his six year old son - Húláng. Dai Liyasto managed to seize the Kēng coast but latter had to deal with a theatre of 3 million troops lead by Prince Sōto Ketro Lāzīn (Jācī's uncle). The largest battle of the war was over the city of Neo-Kēng which Ditor Jācī observed. The KNRF commander was threatening to kill the entire city with a 1 megaton nuclear weapon. The TAF in turn detonated a small HEMP greatly crippling enemy communications and the KNRF's ability to give the order to detonate the nuclear device. The device was located in the Gun-Kegnar temple which later stormed by TAF troops. However it turns out the place was filled with incendiary bombs and Titianician civilians. The result was a vicious slaughter of innocent people and the destruction of the Gun-Kegnar. Dai Liyasto latter was captured after the KNRF forces were captured and summarily executed after a trial. Dai Liyasto was sentenced to solitary confinement in the arctic exclusion zone.
Soon afterwards the Neo-Kēng exclusion zone was declared as well as Project Eden. The region was declared a regeneration zone for corporate contractors to directly develop a long side the the state. Lāzīn continued to reform Titianician public services, laid down the plans for future city developments and introduced support system to the children of the 2nd Kēng war. As Ditor Húláng has now risen to power, the all Sondrian nations are hereby invited to come to his coronation where old disputes am be settled. A further announcement has been heavily hinted by the Titianician government though they have been secretive about the topic of said announcement.
Its for real, Lāzīn is well and truly dead, what will happen now I wonder.

To the highly esteemed recipients
The Titianician continent has long been controlled by by despots of all colours. The cruel and the pragmatic - the imbeciles and the magnificent have all ruled in some or another. Yet now I do desire change of incredible magnitude and the creation of a democracy in the place of the bureaucracy. It is old and tired, it needs to be retired and Titianicia has never experienced the touch of democracy. That is why at my coronation (which you are invited to) we will discuss the creation of a democracy and all are invited to discuss the issues which plague Titianicia. We wish for Titianicia to be a modern and stable nation. It also just so happens that the most prosperous and stable nations are democracies as well.
Please take note of the following:
Your's sincerely
Ditor Húláng Lāzīn I

Ditor Húláng Lāzīn I
Titianicia | The Strategic State Geofront |The Ditor's section
Húláng was at his old fathers desk, caressing the fine wooden oak that made it so wonderful to touch. His family is an incredibly wealthy one and now he is its patron after his father died. Many faces and tales were carved into its face. He could identify at least one Omātorian creation myth among the many detailed carvings in the wood. It was an old table though, it looked like it might have been older than Titianicia itself which was no easy feat,year it had a certain allure which made you intensely stare at it. Yet it was covered with items for varying purposes - paper, pistol and a pen. It was a strange feeling, knowing that any person in the room could be killed by you.
Húláng was told to wait here alone by Chief Administrator Máchiko for a few days for some reason. Just him and a few toys, games and the mysterious complex which surrounded him. What was even more surreal than the feeling of omnipotence over man was the size of the Geofront. It stretched across for seemingly forever; it was an endless maze of unimaginable proportions. Again, he was only recently informed of this subterranean fortress' existence and then only by overhearing monologue of the drunk Doctor Oyram. It seems this place wasn't even meant to exist but yet it does.
The high pitch screech of the door bell rang across the empty room. Doctor Oyram burst through the door with three Shinokusuri at his side. He was a certainly a huge man, though his wounds were still clearly visible and his face now bore a monstrous scar across it. It smiled like an half grin and Oyram had clearly attempted to hide it under a thick beard. That however it failed to cover up Oyram's now hideous face.
"My Ditor, I have come to take you to the international airport now so we can properly greet our guests" said Oyram, in a loud cry.
Húláng felt somber and unusually inquisitive : "I will come yes, but may I ask what is this place?"
"The Strategic State Geofront or SSGF for short," replied Oyram trying to drag Húláng along. "I'll tell you more about it on the way."
Húláng and Oyram followed the oath until they reached the location of the Maglev train in the facility. Húláng noticed that very little space wasn't used, its like the place was designed by someone trying to optimise the maximum amount used space while simultaneously creating a depressing atmosphere of inhuman control. They quickly boarded the train which was strangely empty
Oyram continued: "You see Húláng this building is an arcology designed to serve as a guide on how to go and build enclosed environment which are mostly self sufficient. It was commissioned as a technology demonstrator for the Titianician government to assess future city building techniques. It provides efficient housing for its inhabitants, grows and creates food which is currently only vegetarian due to Koyo university failing to provide us with cost effective artificial meat facilities. We currently rely on hydroponics and a variety of genetically modified vegetables. Arthropod incubators are planned to be installed soon so we can prepare some protein based food."
"So what about the actual building, then" asked Húláng. He sat directly facing Oyram however he watched the room like a hawk for some reason. He noticed the design philosophy of the building seemed to have a minimalist touch to it, like it was designed to be ascetic as humanly possible. Húláng pondered wether that was due to the lack of natural light to save costs on building.
"Well the SSGF itself is around 1,700 kilometres squared in its surface area though that isn't considering the depth of the place which I think is somewhere around 400 meters. That means that around at least 125,000 people can remain permanent residents. There are different geofronts such as the residential, the life support, the commercial geofronts and many other versions of geofronts which I'm not allowed to talk about. Your chambers are near the central parts of the facility and is under constant surveillance so nobody can hurt you. This will be your home and many other people for years to come."
Húláng did wonder though what other alternatives to this building were proposed? He knew about the colossal vanity projects designed by some of the more idealistic members of the Titianician Enclave such as a Standford Torus or a small city of neoclassical extravagance. He also wondering wether more of these projects will be built in his life considering Oyram mentioned that is was a technology demonstrator.
A few hours passed by when the train began to make a slow stop at a station. Outside was the matriarch of Lāzīn standing like a mountain of steel - Máchiko Lāzīn. Her cold pale eyes stared at Húláng like a cobra. Her smile however betrayed her eyes as it was calm and warm as she set her eyes on her son. She was flanked by seven TSA guards on each side but a tired and shaken character stood at her side - Sān-Ēli Lāzīn stood alongside her. His was a short but handsome man not unlike the old photos of Lāzīn before he was forced to hide underneath his mask.
"Húláng, we don't have that much time to chat so please follow me" quickly said Máchiko quickly turning away from Húláng and quickly walking towards the exit. Sael looked at Húláng and smiled with uncanny warmth and said "Húláng, how have you been?"
Húláng walked with Sael, with Oyram and his group not far behind: "I am fine myself, my education has been going wonderfully and I'm soon to be Ditor."
"That is well, wonderful" Sael solemnly mumbled, his eyes dashing across the room, only resting on Húláng.
Outside was the gigantic runway and the equally large reception for the guests, several guards a red carpet and a glorious enterance to Titianicia. The journalists were also present,for the first time in years - if there was one group controlled by the state, it was the press due to the power they idiotically wield. One of the first things to be regulated soon before Jācī Lāzīn's absence was the press. Now Húláng stood waiting along with the rest of the welcoming party, just waiting. 魂
