The formation of Marigastar, located on the land promised by Allah, combines the courage and wisdom of now and then. These ideals come from my understanding towards Animal Farm, written by George Orwell in 1945. The essay will examine the totalitarian ruling principles and policies, the allegiance with the Economic Community of West African States(ECOWAS) , and the relation to the aforementioned novel and Russian Revolution. First and foremost, the nation’s political system inherited the British colonial governing body-totalitarianism. Our government projected a similar picture to one that Napoleon created in the Animal Farm. To further elaborate, Napoleon devised a cult of Personality that maintained his position in the Animal Farm and posed a greater fear among the animals.
And with the band of arrogant supporters, the dictator had his grip utmost on every aspect of life in the farm but to only prosper the Animal Farm. With the lasting colonial traditions, the nation has made protrusive growth within the foundation of this very place. This is the very opposite towards Napoleon’s totalitarian governing ideology. To have a totalitarian government, the most empowered title will be the President, who holds the most states’ rights including surveillance, foreign diplomacy and declaration of war against foreign powers, in addition , the President holds the absolute power to amend the national Constitution. Subordinating is the functioning National Diet which has no fair share of power to the President but only to enforcement of lawful establishment of the nation. Under the National Diet, the 10 provincial administrations which adhere to the President were to function as an executive branch of the government that enables the law to be obeyed by the mass public.
In addition to the governing body, lies the policies of this nation which are of the pivotal matters to the very establishment of the country.By incorporating religious beliefs and general ruling, the policy of Marigastar falls under 5 distinct categories.. Designed to protect the human rights of the citizens and maintenance of social order.Via this legislation, the country referenced the Seven Commandments’ All animals are equal’. The law aims to stress the equality between diverse ethnic groups and across gender, beliefs. Obeying the law is maintaining the order of the country and ultimately the legitimate way to support the government by adhering to the law.
Moreover, I plead for membership with the Economic Community of West African States – a regional political and economic union of fifteen countries located in West Africa founded in 1975. In this way, we can cooperate with other nations to further develop our national economy and security. Locating in Central Africa, means numerous conflicts that the country must confront with adjacent nations. With the region’s lack of raw materials and products, resources can only be brought into the country through export and import. Aiming for a common goal, Marigastar joined the ECOWAS to strife for a better tomorrow that the future has in store. In the Animal Farm, Napoleon realises that he needed raw materials and products to continue the business to sustain the farm, to achieve the bigger picture, he acquired a helping hand from My. Whymper who acts as his sole connection to the human world.
In this scenario, Nigeria who is the head of the ECOWAS and regional powerhouse who reached out and by far developed the region’s economy are likely comparable to Mr. Whymper in Animal Farm. Ever since the foundation of ECOWAS, Nigeria has been able to lift many countries out of famine and poverty including Marigastar. Our national economy and production was raised with the help from the member states in ECOWAS. Aside from joining the ECOWAS, Marigastar also seeks its membership in the United Nations, via the action, the nation has been receiving millions of help world-wide, UN relief fund has been supporting the country to operate for their undaunted effort to sustain our country. Additionally, trading with non- ECOWAS member states, such as China, Pakistan and Iran, has further strengthened our economy. With the initiation of China’s Belt Road Program, Marigastar has been benefiting from millions of Chinese investment that renovated our infrastructure. Simultaneously, the nation has been to raise its international popularity through those programs and union, with an annual 34 million tourists, the citizens have been able to prosper from our rising tourism.
This was also covered in Animal Farm where Napoleon invited Mr. Whymper to inspect the farm as it progressed. The nation does the corresponding matters by having foreign tourists coming to visit the nation, we are mimicking Napoleon’s method of governing. In sum, alluding to the content of the Animal Farm that referred to the establishment of socialist regime in Soviet Union and its tragic end, of those lessons learned by other nations around the world.The choices I have made in my nation were based on the context of the novel. In order to avoid the tragic end of our forefathers.I created an authoritarian governing body to halt the deteriorating economy and political structure. The laws are there to enable our citizens to live and wander free without any concerns via lawful enforcement , to stabilize the country, to protect human rights. By the very formation of Madagascar ,we stand with the people. By joining the Economic Community of West African States, we are benefiting the people. This is my ideal nation.
