Mâlbondə
Mallia redirects here. For the current nation, see Mallia.
The Mâlbondə, also known as Mallia (Mallian: MALLÎƎ Mallië), officially the People's Public Bondstate Mallia (Mallian: DEUDÔNSƎ PAUBLIK BONDSKÚZƎL MALLÎƎ Deudônsə Paublic Bondscuuzəl Mallië); was a federal republic in the south of Aeruvia, prior to its dissolution into Mallia, Teschrype and Ịkẹvẹ. It bordered Traule and Kgokkonitlag to the north, had maritime borders with Cring to the west, and had a joint colony (Bassau) with Alloti.
Mallia consisted of three regions, Campebant (Campəbânt), Lindeburg (Lindəburg), and Teschrype (Təschrijpə). Each of Mallia's three capitals lied in a different region. The islands of Hauwelânde and Bassau formed their own autonomous region and have their own parliament, although the Federal parliament applies to them too and have voting rights.
History
Prior to Mallia's formation, the three regions were their own independent countries. Teschrype was known as The Most Serene Republic of Teschrype; Campebant as the Principality of Campebant; and Lindeburg as the Duchy of Lindeburg.
Geography
The mountains seperating Lindeburg and Teschrype are known as the Wiechaün /ʋi.xɑu.ən/.
Demographics
Languages
Each of the region has their own group of dialects. Təschrijps, spoken in Teschrype, could be argued to be its own language. There are several movements within Mallia to keep the dialects archived and alive. Alhi and Tova are recognized regional languages in Bassau.
Tagbọlan is a recognized minority language, mainly spoken by the Okpozhiạn people of the Ịkẹvẹ Nation.
Religions
The majority of Mallia doesn't associate themselves with a religion, is agnostic, or atheist. A plurality of the population (representing about ~40%) follow indigenous beliefs. A small percentage of the population, mainly in Teschrype, follow Shidamism.
Government and Politics
Government
The government consists of 4 parliaments: the Federal, Lindeburgian, Campebantine, and Teschrypen regional parliaments. The parliaments are famous for the 'shenanigans' that take place within them, such as fights, bill-stealing, and miscellaneous antics. The government itself is infamous for being dysfunctional, rarely being able to form proper coalitions in a decent timeframe.
Elections
Seats are given according to the voting percentage in the province, rather than regional or national.
Subdivisions
Mallia's three regions are each subdivided into three provinces, which themselves are divided into cantons, municipalities and submunicipalities.
