'''Malentina''', officially the '''Presidential Confederacy of Malentina''', is a country in southern [[Crona]] in the western parts of the [[North Songun sea#North Songun Sea|North Songun sea]]. The nation is made up of as a set of three larger islands just of the coast of [[Istrenya]]. Beyond it's closest neighbour Malentina also has maritime borders with [[Kelekona]] and [[Arcerion]]. While Malentina is connected to the rest of the world through the ocean, this is at great risk to the nations sovereignty as the nation is by far the weakest of those bordering the Songun Sea. Especially [[Arcerion]] and [[The Cape]] both hold immense influence thanks to the [[Warrington Strait]] and the [[Songun Straits]] forming natural chokepoints when exiting the Songun Sea.

 

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 it's relative security from [[Zurgite Varshan|Varshani]] [[The Hunts (Varshan)|Hunts]].

 

During the 18th century Malentina became a somewhat important colony for the [[Ænglish People]] (Ardmore?) as they settled the mostly unsettled, or some argue abandoned, island of [[Hileenkop]]. This would lead to numerous conflicts between the Ænglish settlers and the [[Maaleen People|Maaleen]] and [[Tinuud People|Tinuud]] natives known as the [[Canoe Conflict (Malentina)|Canoe Conflict]].

 

Malentina is a somewhat modern name taken from the term commonly used in {{wp|English language|Ænglish}} to refer to the tribes living on the islands that the nation now encompasses, ''Malentinu''. This term developed from combining the two most common tribe names, the ''Maaleens'' and the ''Tinuuds''. The name was a way for the native people to "take back" the lands that ones belonged to them alone from the colonizing Levantine population.
