Geography

Maloka is largely coastal, being a peninsula with a coast stretching up into and along the mainland to the Boral Zone. Its northern coast is rugged and frozen, and its southern areas are cold and snow well into summer. The peninsula itself is mostly flats or rolling hills; the region is only marginal for farming quality and natural resources are poorly exploited. Its inland stretches are sparsely inhabited tundra. Most of its population lives along the inner coastline of the bay it rests on, the Mera, as storm weather on the coast is infrequent but savage; icebreaking and transport to the southern tip of the peninsula is critical for the country.

Economy

GDPPC: 14,233 USD

Maloka is a developing nation with a fairly small GDP, and relies heavily on Faneria for funding its military and political process. Fishing and subsistence farming, along with imports, feed the nation, and its few exports largely consist of meagre iron yields and canned goods. Trade is reliant on the city of Mharnsgate, at the southern tip the peninsula, which is currently under a 99-year lease to Faneria. Shipping further into the bay normally requires icebreakers except in summer.

Politics

The three major political parties of Maloka are the Red Suns, White Suns, and Forward Path. The Forward Path is a reactionary party focused on advancing the aims of the disparate northern enclaves, shoreward communities, and tribal factions; the Red Sun is a conservative reformist faction aimed at centralization of the state along Occidental lines; the White Sun is the liberal faction (comparable to Occidental centrists) and focuses on government reform specifically along Cananachan lines as well as social reform reflective of Occidental enlightenment and modernism. The Red Sun and White Sun have consistently formed coalition governments throughout the country's history.

Voting in Maloka is limited to citizens; the Forward Path has been pushing for a switch to landed voting but is unsuccessful. Due to the country's moderate cohesion, its elections tend to be difficult and filled with low turnouts and a relatively small voting pool compared to the total adult population.

Maloka's government is comprised of a unicameral legislature, the People's Council, lead by a Chief Minister. Various ministers oversee the government's business at the pleasure of the Council, with the Head of State, the Director, being a largely ceremonial position with minimal power beyond the veto and military authority. Maloka does not exercise rights as a nation in regards to bilateral relations with other states, but instead operates a diplomatic ministry that works in conjunction with the Fhainnin Foreign Affairs Bureau. In theory, this limits their ability to conduct diplomacy; in practice, it is more a check to ensure Malokan relations do not counteract Fanerian aims.

The primary Ministries of the Malokan government are the Ministries of: War, Trade, Security, Records, Development, and Finance.

Military

National Liberation Navy

The Navy consists of six surface craft (one modern destroyer, two icebreakers, and three frigates/corvettes) and two dozen-odd patrol boats; its destroyer is a mine warfare-oriented design of Fanerian origin and its corvettes are Fanerian surplus. The Navy also operates Maloka's fleet of eighteen aircraft (two trainers, four scout planes, and twelve last-gen fighter craft. Its primary role is coastal and air defense, and it operates the country's major naval base in Kimiornee and uses Mharnsgate as a second port due to the Fanerian base there.
