how many ministers of Bajor are there. is this established. obviously Shakaar is first minister, and there’s a mention of the ministry of agriculture. surely there must also be a defense ministry, but they’re still referred to as a “militia” so how in touch with the government actually is it? or do they keep the term as a sort of “for old times sake” thing

Some Bajoran earring headcanons I finally got around to compiling, I feel like the symbolism of the earrings would have been tied to the caste system pre-Occupation
FELLOW DS9 LOVERS!! I did a pottery painting thing and created this pencil pot featuring the station, the wormhole, a little shuttle craft, Bajor and the inside of the wormhole!
Considering how pro all things Bajoran Kira is, it's actually quite remarkable that she dislikes Winn, the religious leader of her people. That said, the fact that she knew both Opaka or Bariel and has also been privy to the human/political side of the kai (and that Winn herself has been rude to Kira) contextualizes who Winn is to her. If she hadn't been, I wonder if she would've been a Winn proponent.
"Progress" makes no sense as a plot. We've seen several times that Bajor is desperate to feed itself. You have an entire moon that's clearly usable farmland, so lightly populated that it was basically ignored by the Cardassians and its ecosystem is fully intact. That's far more valuable than power that's essentially fossil fuel, only usable once and once it's gone it's gone. Especially since we establish there is a way to still get that power out without damaging the moon's ecosystem, just more slowly. They should be promising people farms of their own to move there! Even if it's not great farmland, that guy has been making a living for both himself and his farmhands, and he's clearly got at least some surplus product to sell given that he's got materials on that farm he couldn't possibly have made himself.

If I was an anthropologist doing my fieldwork on DS9 here are some of the research questions I think I would have about Bajoran communities on the station:
How do Bajorans living on DS9 conceptualise the station?
How do they navigate living on a structure that was designed by their oppressors for the purpose of genocidal colonial violence?
How do they synthesise that fact with the station's spiritual significance as a gateway to the celestial temple and home of the Emissary?
How do they take that contradiction and create a place they call 'home'?
In what ways do Bajorans transform, co-opt, conceal, or memorialize the Cardassian design, architecture, and computer systems of the station? How do you create a sacred space like the temple in a place designed for profanity?
How does the prospect of Bajor joining the Federation in the future impact interpersonal relations between Bajorans and Federation citizens? Do some Bajorans perceive it as just another form of colonialsim with a softer face?
How do Bajorans think about replicated food? From living through starvation to being in a situation where they can eat as much as they want whenever they want, how does affect things like diet, body image, what is considered a normal or healthy body?
What kinds of social norms and morals have formed around Bajoran vs alien cuisine? Around replicated vs non-replicated food?
How does the availability and diversity of food on DS9 affect the Bajoran community's relationships to Starfleet and the Federation?
What kinds of new fusion foods have popped up?
Do Bajoran communities on DS9 invent any unique dialects or lingo? They could get linguistically influenced by humans, Ferengi, Vulcans, Klingons etc.
How Does a Jumja Stick Taste? An Autoethnography
An ethnographic account of how Bajorans celebrate the gratitude festival on DS9, how are they influenced by Bajoran traditions and what kinds of new traditions have formed?
I think about my Bajoran CMO idea a lot and so she is constantly being developed and gaining backstory.
I love her so much it's unreal.
Making me want to co-write a script/ story with a bunch of other Star Trek fans with their own OC's. We could make a whole crew. It would be so cool.
I don't know how realistic it is but still.
If people are interested lmk.
Lieutenant Liao gets a haircut!
