Malentina was historically a notable [[North Songun civilization]] before their collapse. Although severely hurt by the collapse, Malentina came out of it in better shape than most others, in large part thanks to its relative security from [[Zurgite Varshan|Varshani]] [[The Hunt (Varshan)|Hunts]]. During the 18th century Malentina became a somewhat important colony for the [[Ardmori people#Ænglo-Ardmori|Ænglish]]-descended settlers from [[Ardmore]] as they settled the mostly unsettled, or some argue abandoned, island of [[Hileenkop]]. This would lead to numerous conflicts between the Ænglo-Ardmori settlers and the [[Maaleen People|Maaleen]] and [[Tinuud People|Tinuud]] natives known as the [[Canoe Conflict (Malentina)|Canoe Conflict]]. | Malentina was historically a notable [[North Songun civilization]] before their collapse.

Their economy is mostly built around agricultural products, a mixture of cash crops like tobacco and sugar as well as fishing products like crustaceans and squid. They do suffer from some insurgency issues partially caused by a severely-lacking military which still tends to lead to minor international meddling, mainly by Arcerion but more recently also by Tierrador. | ||
Most of the nations struggles are rooted in the demographic conflict between the Ænglo-Ardmori and native populations. Ever since the genocide of the Starlit Revolution, Ænglish-speaking nations such as Arcerion and Alstin have held a particular investment in ensuring the local Neo-Waakabii extremist cells are destroyed post-haste. Because of these foreign interests it has been commonplace for the last 30 years for Malentines to be the target for foreign airstrikes. In recent years, however, Malentina has seen a shift in their approach to local insurgencies. With military assets provided by Tierrador they have started cracking down on terrorist cells on their own, while at the same time distancing themselves from Arcerion. These actions have caused a diplomatic incident surrounding Malentina which risks becoming a flashpoint for a power struggle over who holds influence over Malentina. | Most of the nations struggles are rooted in the demographic conflict between the Ænglo-Ardmori and native populations.

The first decade or so of Malentine independence since the ratification of the treaty was filled with a sense of distrust towards the Arcer government due to a perception that Arcerion has been rather keen on asserting its influence onto the islands. Arguing that Arcerion has acted in violation of Malentina's sovereignty, and because it felt that they would be better suited at handling the minor indigenous nationalist insurgencies which have emerged in opposition to the treaty, the confederate government began a policy of mild rearmament in 2002 which was soon met with a forced demilitarization order from Arcerion. Malentina refused these orders and continued to build up its military, which in turn led to the Arcer government claiming that the Malentine government is acting in violation of the treaty. Since then, the two countries have had a soured relationship since then that has nearly led to a state of war in 2006 that was only stopped through mediation from the [[League of Nations]] which led to some slight modifications to the treaty allowing for a limited rearmament of the Malentine armed forces in return for an internationally-enforced nonaggression pact between Malentina and Arcerion. Since this incident, the Malentine government has opted to pursue closer ties with its neighbors [[Tierrador]], [[the Cape]], [[Kelekona]], and [[Alstin]] as well as non-Cronan nations such as [[Daxia]] and even Occidental nations such as [[Cartadania]], [[Caphiria]], [[Ardmore]], and [[Vithinja]]. | |||

The government of Malentina is primarily inspired by the confederal system of [[Arcerion]] despite how it appears to be at first glance. Indeed, although many of the highest offices differ greatly from Arcerion's system, it retains many similarities in its functionality. The government of Malentina has four main components, those being the [[Malentine Senate|Senate]], the [[Trissembly of Malentina|Trissembly]] (contains the three subnational legislatures), the subnational cabinets for the country's three main components, and the national cabinet for the country in its entirety. Another very notable difference is the fact that the Malentine system functions as a {{wp|presidential republic}} as well as the fact that Malentina is a {{wp|directorial republic}} and thus has no one-person {{wp|head of state}}. | The government of Malentina is primarily inspired by the confederal system of [[Arcerion]] despite how it appears to be at first glance.
