Consul Gayai began touring the forts that had saved the Sinhalese from absolute destruction. He was a tall man, tall and slim, definetly not a wartime-looking consul. He slim figure made him look like a man of politics. But he wasn't. He had taken control of the Council with full powers granted to him, and had been able to drive the outnumbered and outclasses Sinhalese soldiers to some kind of victory. Even though most of Sinhalese continental land had been taken, it was still a victory for the Sinhalese - they had managed to stay alive despite TWO invasion from much stronger foriegn powers. A statue was planned to be erected in the new city of Kaha, the place of the new Capital, on Ceylon. The statue would be called the Statue to Sinhala. It would commemorate all those lost to save the land, and would commemorate the triumphs the Sinhalese had against overwhelming foes. It was expected to be a statue of a Sinhalese soilder holding a spear jutted towards ths sky.
Another statue was also planned to be erected, one in honor of the Magadah who had definetly saved the Sinhalese from immediate destruction. It would be of a Magadah scribe, holding a scroll of papyrus imported from Arabia. These two statues, side by side, would be constructed in the Republican Garden, a huge three hundred by five hundred yard garden within the center of the new city of Kaha.
The new city of Kaha isn't actually new. In fact, it is still the same capital city as before, but remodeled. After the war, the Council approved of a construction of a huge garden called the Republican Garden in the center of the capital. Going past that, Council member Seyaia proposed that the whole city would be demolished, and upon it a new city built. It would be one of magnificent white walls and humungous trees that would show the power and influence that Sinhala once had, and will once again.
Many lands in the north were affected by the war. Especially in the lands the forts were constructed, scourged fields lay under the dead sun, burnt towns lay in rubble. The Forts, now nicknamed Gayai Line (named after the Consul who approved of the building) had been built on top of strategic locations, regardless of it in the middle of a crop field or a town or a open field. Thus the period of Reconsctruction in Northern India would be born.
Reconstruction would not just target the north and physical damage, but of political damage. The war itself had brought around the dissolvance of all four politcal parties that were once the pride of the New Sinhalese Republic. Instead, three parties took their place. These were the Agrarian Republicans, Republicans, and Reformed Imperialists. The strongest party and most popular were the Republicans, with having strong ties to Ceylon where most of the population is centered now. On the continent, Agrarian Republicans dominated, with beliefs in non-government intervention in the economy and small farm plantations. The Reformed Imperialists were not sectional, rather were national, but on the contrary to one would think they are the least popular.
After the Consul had given up emergency powers, democracy was restored and elections for the council and consul commensed within the temporary capital of Hasia.
The results weren't surprising.
Out of 112 seats on the council:
76 belonged to the Republicans
24 belonged to the Agrarian Republicans
12 belonged to the Reformed Imperialists
A Republican consul was also elected, a Geya Hayam, with almost 83% of the votes. He immediately began where Gayai left off with the funding of the new city and the statues to begin building. He ordered a downgrade in the army so that more men could be put to work in other ways. He also ordered the eventual recreation of the Sinhalese navy, which was almost completely destroyed in the wars. Giving the necessary economy, Geya could almost make this happen. Unfortunately it was a time of limited prosperity. His main focus thus would be the strengthening of the economy for the future of all Sinhalese and for the ability to govern with the authority of money instead of military force.
And so Sinhala was reborn. A new age, a new capital, a new council and consul, a new time. It was Sinhala's time.
Diplomacy:
To Magada
From Sinhala
We would like to congratulate you on your victories and peace, and we would also like to thank you for intervening in a war with the Ayrans. Without it, Sinhala may not be speaking to you right now. Many Sinhalese merchants are eager to trade with their new friends, shall we open trade in the near future?
To Aryan Tribe that is north
From Sinhala
The peace is final, you pay us an economy and you keep the land.
To Geystral
From Sinhala
We thank you for withdrawing your troops and will do our best to forget about the situation that had happened, and hopefully relations between out countries can somehow repair themselves.
ORDERS
Increase economy.
Demilitarize (effects? should have some, right?) 200 soldiers, but keep them on hand. Perhaps create some sort of national guard?
Begin to produce crops from the Maldives.
Continue to man the forts.
Begin Wonder: City of Kaha and Republican Garden. This would raise citizen moral by two, and increase economy by two.
Initiate Republican government once again.
Send gifts to Magadah.
Keep army ready incase of an attack.
