Retirees

Retirees are an important social group in the country of Perantsa. They have a complex relationship to different ministries and branches of the Perantsian government.

• The older generation in Perantsa views the military as a symbol of stability, particularly for its role in maintaining order after colonialism.
• They value its defense of national identity and sovereignty, especially in keeping Molbra under Perantsa's control.

• Until the 1990s, the police in Perantsa were viewed as an elite institution.
• The education received by the baby boomer generation instilled in them a deep respect for the police, seeing it as a protector of fundamental freedoms.

• The older generation values education as an important pillar of society and respects universities and research institutions.
• Due to the focus on computer science and other IT-related fields since the early 2000s, they cannot relate to the content of the studies as much anymore and feel as if other, more “traditional” fields are being neglected.

• Due to their low pensions and low living standards, the older generation hold a lot of resentment against the Ministry of Economics.
• With the SAP prioritizing the support for minorities and social welfare programs, they often feel left behind.

• Retirees have mixed feelings about the government.
• Many struggle with reduced pensions and rising living costs due to inflation, feeling unsupported by current policies.
• While some see the rise of more radical parties, including far-right groups advocating for retirees, as a promising alternative, others remain hesitant to abandon the traditional conservative and socialist parties they have long trusted.
• This leaves retirees divided on whether drastic political change is the solution to their challenges.
