Matrix

The Matrix was a political party founded in 4177 as a more militant offshoot of the already violent Raspara political party. The Matrixes promised to enslave all non-Matrixes, but focused their efforts on physically small tribes such as the Swamp Kids since they were easier to intimidate. They legalized all forms of crime against non-Matrixes, and then limited party membership to males; therefore all rape of women was legal.

The Matrixes chose their name to symbolize their approach to politics. Whereas other parties such as the Raspara and the Crystals believed in a coherent political ideology, the Matrixes rejected ideological commitments in order to ensure that they could always be on the winning side of every war. Their only loyalty was to the Matrix.

The Matrixes spoke their own language, although their reign as a political power was so short that the only monolingual generation reached adulthood after their reign had ended.
