I recommend you first check out the "Fin de La Michát" page first, since this is spoilers to that.
(Introduction)
Michatism (also refered to as Monzvergian Monarchism or Michourism) is the ideology based of the ideals and philosophies of the first reigning Rashad (title for supreme Monzvergian leader) of the michate dynasty. The ideas of Michatism are codified within the Michate Doctrine (see below). The reigning Rashad (Usually a Michour) is required to learn and memorise the doctrine's principles.
The Michate Monarchy
The Michate Monarchy is the current governing body in Monzverg. The Michate Monarchy began in 1092 and ended in 1960, before returning in ~1996 to reclaim the throne with Michour XV.
The birth of the Michate Monarchy
The Michate (Michour) was created with the birth of Chanai Michour in 1092. His father (Roukaier Michar III) was a member of the Micharate(Not to be confused with the Michate. The Micharate is an Abyssinian colony of settlers with the goal of extracting Monzvergian resources and benefiting Abyssinia). His father believed that splitting the kingdom into two would bring more economic profit to their coloniser, Abyssinia.
When Michar III died in 1114, Michour inherited the east and Haisan Michar inherited the west. Michour I, naturally ambitious (some say because of his young age) decided it was necessary to convert to Islam to gain the support of the northern arabo-muslim rulers, which he felt started to 'close in on him' from the north.
In 1116, he reached mecca and converted while doing his pilgrimage there. When he returned in 1118, he was ridiculed by the Micharate. The Micharate later prepares for war, under fear that the Michate will eventually do its own (Haisan knows his brother very well, and so he assumes it). This leads to the schism.
The Schism
Haisan declares war on Chanai with the goal of restoring Monzvergian unity under christ (but also because of the fact Chanai sounds a bit too radical towards Haisan's slave-farmers, and he doesn't like it one bit.). So, after a long and fierce two year war, Chanai wins after conquering Khanuj Rag, the capital, and the Micharate collapses.

The Michate Doctrine
Now, this is the most important part.
The Michate doctrine is the "bible" for Michatists (not religious-wise). It's the ultimate guidebook for ruling Monzverg, originally written by Chanai Michour I in 1149 but eventually compiled and updated by multiple other succeding Rashads. The biggest update to the Michate doctrine came in 1782, which is the "Michate Princip". Within it are two things; Worker's constitution, and Corporates' constitution. These were created by Michour VII to process the industrial revolution better without having a small group of elites control the entire industrialization process, aka stealing power from the Michour. The final biggest update came from Michour XV in 1992(ish). This was during the Fin de la Michát stage.
XV's goal was to rewrite the Michate doctrine despite the fact the fragments for it were burned in 1960. He recreated it at age 17 and with it, his new manifesto, which is now printed with the doctrine. The Michate doctrine has (usually) 1500 pages. The original doctrine along with its minor updates and changes (pge 0-910), the Michate Princip (WC, CC)(911-1143 pages) and finally, Michour XV's manifesto, shockingly longer than the Princip, (1144-1500 pages). Damn.
Photo of the doctrine's front cover
On the top, it reads "Written by Michour I & VII, Rewritten and updated by Michour XVth RECENTLY"
The intricate designs on the top right represent the communist nature of the south throughout the "Fin De La Michát"(seen through the appearance of sicles and hammers).
The top-center displays a locket. On the top of it is written Michât (representing the Michate in general) and within the locket, the left squares (crescent and star) represent Monzvergians, while the right squares represent Aragbians (sun and sword).
The Intricate designs on the left represent the north, though there aren't any images displayed that showcase that.
under the locket is a traditional Monzvergian musket with a crescent bayonet. The two pairs of flags represent the two major regions (as seen before). The North (the flags to the right (this time)) and the South (the flags to the left). The right flags have the modern Monzvergian flag paired with the Michate flag, while the left flags have the hammer and sickle flag along with the traditional Aragbian (or Ninzian) flag.
Under the musket, the words" The Michate Doctrine " appear. Under that, "1149 & 1992" representing the two major years of the doctrine (1149, the writing and 1992, the rewriting). Under that, in roman numerals (MCXLIX & MCMXCII), the same numbers appear.
Under that, the words "1500 pages AND 843 years" appear. 1500 pages within the doctrine and 843 years being the lifespan of the doctrine.
Under that;
To the right of the whole title, the words "Cover drawn by Mohamed Ahmed Ar-Rashid" appear. That's the illustrator. A known Monzvergian Michatist artist responsible for many propaganda posters.
The words "PRINTED BY COTIC ©, hardurai store" appear right under.
Right under that, "Distributed by her, Monzvergia.", the government organisation responsible for the distribution of Government works.
Now, For Flags
This is the Michate's flag.
This is the Micharate's flag.
The Michate's flag was in unison with the Micharate's until the schism. The blue represents the ocean, the red representing blood through work. The Micharate version (the cross) represents the christianity within the Monzvergian colony. As for the Michate, the crescent used is a common Monzvergian symbol. It's the Michate's way of saying "Hey this flag's Monzvergian". The 5-pointed star represents two possible things; one, which is Islam. Or two, which is the 5 states that were apart of the Michate that held their loyalty to the Rashad during the schism. There is no way of knowing since this is lost to time (or I can't choose which ;D )
