====== Zezouics ======

The Zezouics are an important social group in the country of [[countries:perantsa|Perantsa]]. They have a complex relationship to different ministries and branches of the Perantsian government.

==== Relations with the military (Ministry of Defence) ====

- The Zezouic community experienced violence at the hands of the military during the 1970 [[countries:karti|Karti]] independence events.
- Older generations still feel the pain, while younger ones, aware of the stories, do not feel direct resentment unless reminded.
- Military encounters do not trigger immediate emotion, but the stories from their elders can still stir feelings.

==== Relations with the police (Ministry of Interior) ====

- Since 2009, the [[history:visa-restrictions-for-kartisians-in-perantsa-2009-2012|visa restrictions]] for Kartisians, initiated by the [[countries:perantsa:parties:republican-front-party|RFP]]-led [[countries:perantsa:government:ministry-of-interior|Ministry of Interior]], have been seen by many Zezouics as a betrayal by the Perantsian government.
- These measures are viewed as an attempt to sever ties between Zezouics in Perantsa and Karti, forcing them to lose connection to their religion and heritage.

==== Relations with the Ministry of Education ====

- The Zezouic community shows strong support for [[people:neli-muv|Neli Muv]] (who is Zezouic herself) and her efforts to include their faith in schools and universities.
- The agreement with [[countries:karti|Karti]] enabling Kartisian students to study at prestigious Perantsian universities is also an achievement they strongly support.

==== Relations with the Ministry of Economics ====

- The Zezouic community in Perantsa supports the policies of the [[countries:perantsa:government:ministry-of-economics|Ministry of Economics]] and favors the social welfare aspects.
- They push towards close trade relations with [[countries:karti|Karti]] to ensure the supply with Holy Sprouts as well as the development of domestic sprout farms.

==== Criticism of the government and key issues ====

- The Zezouic community in Perantsa feels deeply dissatisfied and unrepresented by the current government.
- Stricter visa policies for Kartisians and worsening poverty, unemployment, and social tensions in [[countries:molbra|Molbra]] have fueled feelings of neglect.
- Many believe the government fosters division, further alienating Zezouics from the rest of the population.
