President (Head of State/Government): Nasira Ayuwati KUSUMA (Cahaya)-1 May 2004 to Present
Vice President: SHI Meiyu (Cahaya)-1 May 2004 to Present
Party in Power: Gerakan Cahaya (Cahaya [Shining Light] Movement)-led by Nasira Ayuwati KUSUMA
Capital: Jakarta
Overview: After President Suharto, who ruled Indonesia with a corrupt, iron fist since 1965, resigned in 1998, the government, under Suharto's Vice President Rudy Habibie held extremely fraudulent elections. When protests broke out over the results, sparked by Indonesian Trotskyist movement Cahaya, two military coups in quick succession ended in Brigadier General Wira bin Dian coming to power over the country. After executing Suharto, Habibie, and Wira's predecessor Major General Mustafa Ishak, the Brigadier General proceeded to institute a brutal, racist military dictatorship with a stifling personality cult. As a result, Cahaya's leaders, Idris Jati, Malik bin Ahmad Qusay, and Nasira Ayuwati Kusuma, were extremely successful in recruiting impoverished Indonesians and convincing the army to defect. After five years of war, Cahaya entered the wartime capital of Pekanbaru, and Wira was forced to flee to his manor in Arau, Perlis, Malaysia.
Since then, Kusuma has ruled the country as President and leader of Cahaya. Considered a moderate in Cahaya, she nevertheless supports the efforts of Trotskyist groups all over the world. While Cahaya dislikes both the capitalists of NATO and the deformed worker's states of the Warsaw Pact, it will deal with both to get what it wants. The country has rebuilt its war damage and improved its failing healthcare, welfare, and educational systems remarkably well.
