OUTWARD FACTIONS FULL
At the same time, strict retirement rules on lower level officials gave rise to a cohort effect that gave the general secretary greater influence over the promotion of alternate Central Committee members to the full Central Committee during their first term than in subsequent terms. We further uncover signs that the party institutions may allow deposed secretary generals some measure of influence over promotions even after their political demise. Our results show that Hu Yaobang, Jiang Zemin, and Xi Jinping pursued broadly based factional recruitment strategies, while Hu Jintao recruited faction members mainly from work colleagues. We then explore the factional recruitment strategy pursued by each reform-era (1978–present) party secretary generals of the CCP by evaluating the measures of factional ties which predicted their clients’ promotions to full Central Committee membership. To investigate this, we first derive four reasonable ways of measuring factional ties as suggested by the literature. Although this trend may be true in general, senior leaders may still recruit those with whom they share birth place and school ties into their factions. Some scholars argue reasonably that with increasing specialization of officials, factions are increasingly dominated by those with shared work experience in a set of bureaucracies. A rugged slum has cropped up in the ruined district to the south of the city as a result.The literature on faction suggests that patrons in the party may recruit faction members on the basis of a broad range of shared traits and experience. In recent times, the Heroic Kingdom has begun to suffer an overpopulation problem as people flock to the city, eager for a new start. Levant has a standing army that answers to the Royal Family, but also employs many mercenary bands, relying on them to do most of the work to keep the region safe from the many dangerous animals and bandits that make Abrassar their home. Rather than focus on the survival of the group, Levant champions the ideals of progress and personal freedom, believing that if everyone gets the chance to chase their dreams, everyone will eventually benefit. The Heroic Kingdom of Levant operates outside of the Blue Chamber's authority, and does not recognize the usual tenets of Tribal Law, opting instead for a much more individualistic approach. They repurposed one of the ancient fortresses of the Old Levant tribes into a great walled city and set about trying to bring about their vision of a utopia. So, under the advice of their dear friend Kirouac, and with the blessing of Elatt that's exactly what they did.
The bounty they reaped for their deeds was enough to found a kingdom. Many years later, a mercenary couple, King Simeon and Queen Calixa, led an army into the Abrassar Desert and purged it of the Scourge, managing to do the impossible and slay the huge Beast. Worst of all, it was beset by a truly enormous Scourge Beast, the Devourer, that forced the residents of Abrassar to flee for their lives. The headquarters of the Heroic Kingdom is the Heroes' Palace in Levant, a city in the Abrassar desert.Īfter the Scourge struck Aurai, the Abrassar region swiftly turned into an inhospitable desert and was overrun by the Beasts of the Scourge. The Heroic Kingdom of Levant is a new power that has split off from the Blue Chamber's ways by promising to liberate the population from the harsh obligations of their current lives by creating a new utopia.
