Padgintüschöchü

Padgintüschöchü (lit. ‘national malaise’) is a cultural phenomena in post-war Tschintiessteiss. Since the end of the Copper War, there has been a profound sense of national fatigue in Tschintiessteiss. Most major newspaper sources have run stories over the fruitlessness of Tschintiessteiss’s continued wars, and more than 67% of Copper War veterans have attested to feeling as though their “job is done.” This cultural shift stands in contrast to the previous Zeitgeist of Tschintierst nationalism, and the need to assert the political and cultural status of Tschintiessteiss through military force. Over 56% of Tschintierst men over 30 have indicated, or voted for in the past, against future wars of expansion or influence, with a prevailing idea that Tschintiessteiss has “won” against the world being common.

History

Further information: Copper War § Legacy

The Copper War brought an untold suffering upon both the working population of Tschintiessteiss and the economy of most of the world, with many war veterans returning home to economic and financial struggles. Despite the heavy gains for Tschintiessteiss and reparations placed upon Dhimrai, the Tschintierst economy would largely stagnate. X

Legacy and effects

The effects of the Padgintüschöchü still affect the cultural and political atmosphere of Tschintiessteiss into the modern day. In the 4623 Tranzgenschaden election, Schåzuur Dachöss would win surprising gains in his home province of Maarküche and neighboring provinces. A large majority of his voter base lies within young men, typically young sons of Copper War veterans. A prevailing narrative among X, the newspaper run by the Great Free Yazland Party, states that the Yasgan peoples have fought against each other in senseless bloodshed for no gain. Appealing to the harsh economic and social circumstances many young Tschintierst men now find themselves in. X
