The '''Provost-General of the League of Nations''' is the chief administrative officer of the [[League of Nations]] and also serves as president of the [[League of Nations General Assembly]]. As chief administrative officer, the Provost-General is responsible for oversight of the League's administrative authorities and commissions (collectively referred to as "League agencies") as well as nominating the heads of said commissions. The Provost-General is also responsible for nomination of the members of the [[International Justice Court]].
==Selection and term of office==
The Office of Provost-General was, for most of its history, an annually elected position held in the General Assembly of the League of Nations. Election for PG is a simple majority vote, with preemptive rounds of voting winnowing out smaller candidates if more than two countries are nominated to fill the role. In 2019, an amendment of the Code of the League of Nations extended terms to two years; in both cases, the term is Jan 1st to Dec 31st. An individual may be Provost-General for two terms, totaling four years.


==Geography==
==Powers and duties==
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. The Kilmer River forms its primary watershed in the inner Mera Bay, with smaller creeks and rivers draining water along the peninsular region.
The Provost-General oversees the affairs of the General Assembly, which includes presenting resolutions and bills, keeping order, tallying and reporting vote counts, and ensuring that the Code is followed appropriately. Outside of the General Assembly, the PG awards member nations with appointments to the various League agencies and commissions during their term. The PG appoints three members to serve on the Codes Committee (until 2026, the Codes Committee was composed of the runner-up for PG and two members appointed by the PG), as well as nominating three nations to occupy seats on the International Justice Court. Court nominations, unlike appointments, are ratified by the Assembly. The Provost-General also has veto power over Security Council selections made by the head of the SC, which rotates between [[Urcea]], [[Caphiria]], and [[Kiravia]].
==Economy==
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==
=== Parties ===
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.
==League agencies==
=== Government ===
===Environmental Conservation Commission===
Maloka's government is comprised of a unicameral legislature of 33 people, called the People's Council, which is lead by a Chief Minister elected by a direct first-past-the-post vote. 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. As a result, the Head of Government has significantly more power than the Head of State. Delegates serve for four-year terms with a term limit of six terms.
The ECC is responsible for the maintenance of international nature reserves, the enforcement of minimum standards of environmental preservation, and the assistance of developing economies to minimize the time required for them to improve their industry past the most destructive phases of industrialization.


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.
===Human Justice Commission===
The representative appointed to the HJC is responsible for bringing cases concerning human rights violations to the International Justice Court, where he or she acts as the prosecutor. Additionally, they have a responsibility to spread awareness of human rights issues and to work towards humanitarian solutions to conflict and the organization of international foreign aid.


The primary Ministries of the Malokan government are the Ministries of War, Trade, Security, Records, Development, and Finance.
===Protected Lands and Sea Lanes Authority===
=== Administration ===
The representative of the PLSLA is responsible for upholding international maritime law, protecting international trade law, conducting or coordinating antipiracy operations from member nation forces, and bringing charges of maritime crimes to the International Justice Court.
Maloka is divided into thirteen provinces, three of which are semiautonomous as part of the [[Rianee Cooperative Reserve]]. Each non-autonomous province elects three delegates to the People's Council, one of which is approved by the peoples' council to simultaneously serve as governor of their province. Each semiautonomous province appoints one delegate, and is permitted to operate under local tribal law and is not regulated by the central government in regards to hunting and fishing rights within their territory.


South Osweyan, the southernmost province, is partially leased to the government of Faneria until 2122, while Maloka sold the
===Bill Drafting and Indexing Commission===
==Demographics==
The BDIC has historically been an Urcean-held position, and is charged with the legalese of drafting and recording paperwork for the League, as well as consulting with lawyers of both international and local law around the world.
Education is highly stratified, with the Algosh population being 85% literate, the Malki being 64% literate, and the Rianee being 4% literate. The majority of the Rianee population lives in the tundra and northern coastal regions, and are by far the poorest, with some never receiving regular contact with the south and only nominally being under Malokan control. The Algosh population has, since the war of liberation, become a pariah caste, sticking to their own communities to avoid backlash - typically consolidating towards the lease city of Mharnsgate, which is legally a safe haven - a reality usually enforced by Fhainnin troops, though violence does occasionally occur. The Algosh, despite their previous affluence, are politically a non-entity, while the Rianee communities in the southern regions are small enough to be safely ignored and generally are only supported by the White Suns out of deference to their imported ideals.


The largest city in Maloka is Kimiornee, which is home to a population of 1.42 million people. The next largest cities, Losha and Tutelo, hold 1.18 and half a million, respectively, making the Kilmer watershed and its urban zones the core of the country with around two-thirds of the population residing there. These communities are some of the oldest permanent settlements in the country, but remained a smaller proportion of the population until 2011, after the area was annexed by the [[Algoquona|Algoquonan Heirarchy]] and a program of forced urbanization was enacted to help modernize the area.
===Tourism and Travel Commission===
==History==
The TTC coordinates travel via air and sea internationally, acting as an organizing body for international airlines and shipping. It works closely with the PLSLA. In addition, the TTC is commonly used as a platform for encouraging cultural exchange programs, streamlining immigration and emigration, and posting travel advisories and highlighting 'destinations of the year'.
===Antiquity===
===Northern Confederate and Algosh Rule===
===Fhainnin Occupation and Protectorate===
Maloka faces considerable challenges with infrastructure, education, and public health, particularly north of the Kilmer River Basin and on the exterior coast of the Malokan Peninsula. Its military and bureaucracy are heavily dependent of Fhainnin foreign aid, and the government's primary concern has been establishing effective taxation, services, and information systems, as well as formally creating a registry of citizens to fix the issue of more than twenty percent of the population being undocumented as citizens of any country. While basic food and water availability has been met, these services are often privatized, and the government is not yet capable of regulating racketeering without external support.


==Culture==
===Atomic Energy Commission===
=== Malki ===
The AEC is charged with the assistance of legal nuclear energy production, the strict enforcement of nuclear energy safety standards, and the combatting of nuclear proliferation into rogue states worldwide.
Malki culture is heavily based in familial and clan ties; most Malki families live in multigenerational compounds that are grouped into blocks rather than Occedental-style housing divisions. Their people are stratified by a somewhat more educated and developed urban class and a much poorer small community class, and many still live in cottage industry towns, forgotten by the urban core around the Kilmer River. Their diets heavily feature shellfish and fish, though potatoes have also become a staple crop. Malki art glorifies triangle patterns, as their ancient cloth weaves used series of colored triangles as a primitive writing system.
[[Category: League of Nations]]
=== Ashkenauk ===
=== Rianee ===
The Rianee people are largely hunter-gatherers, and have a preindustrial culture with a heavy emphasis on subsistence hunting and fishing. Many of them visit temporary living sites throughout the north and Polar Zone, and furs and handcrafts still feature heavily in their garb. In modern times, they have acquired a small number of firearms and manufactured goods in addition to traditional spears and clubs, and have adapted well to using modern trappings while maintaining distance from urban society. The few static Rianee communities are relatively stable albeit poor, and Rianee are often found in shanty towns throughout north and central Maloka. Historically, the Malki pushed the Rianee north from the peninsula, wiping most of them out. The Northern Confederation, during its tenure, had little concern for their status considering their small population size, while the Heirarchy employed many as pathfinders and enforcers against the Malki majority.
=== Algosh ===
== Military ==
=== National Liberation Army ===
Maloka's Army consists of approximately fifty thousand men divided into four Occident-style brigades, several garrison units, and a command staff. the Army's command staff also directs Naval operational goals but not its combat decision-making; in other words, the Army is superior to the Navy but cannot instruct it on in-combat operations, only goals.


Most of the Army's equipment is last-gen or surplus modern-gen, and training is handled by a small core of local officers aided by Fanerian advisors. The focus of military doctrine is purely defensive, and as such relies on simpler, tried-and-true methods rather than complex maneuver. The NLA only possesses a half-dozen tanks, although its primary armored vehicle, the [[Bataís 1962-2|Bataís]], is an excellent rough terrain vehicle (for a tracked system) and is decently effective against most of the local Cronan threats the NLA would reasonably be expected to fight.
===Wartime Benefit Fund===
Although not established under the [[Code of the League of Nations]], the [[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)|Treaty of Electorsbourg]] established the [[League of Nations Wartime Benefit Fund]] to benefit war orphans and widows from the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. The Provost-General's office oversees the administration of the fund and directs funding to member nations with nationally established programs.


The NLA was initially a much larger force, but combat losses, mass demobilization, and finally a winnowing of troops by selection reduced the force to a size which could be feasibly supported by Maloka. Most of the initial equipment was mixed, with captured Algosh arms, local small arms, and Fhainnin gifts being seen side by side, but as reorganizations have gone on the Army has gradually approached uniformity, with the oldest armaments being passed down to garrison units and later decommissioned or sold off in batches to Sabnaki or other petty states to help pay for better equipment.

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.

The Provost-General of the League of Nations is the chief administrative officer of the League of Nations and also serves as president of the League of Nations General Assembly. As chief administrative officer, the Provost-General is responsible for oversight of the League's administrative authorities and commissions (collectively referred to as "League agencies") as well as nominating the heads of said commissions. The Provost-General is also responsible for nomination of the members of the International Justice Court.

Selection and term of office

The Office of Provost-General was, for most of its history, an annually elected position held in the General Assembly of the League of Nations. Election for PG is a simple majority vote, with preemptive rounds of voting winnowing out smaller candidates if more than two countries are nominated to fill the role. In 2019, an amendment of the Code of the League of Nations extended terms to two years; in both cases, the term is Jan 1st to Dec 31st. An individual may be Provost-General for two terms, totaling four years.

Powers and duties

The Provost-General oversees the affairs of the General Assembly, which includes presenting resolutions and bills, keeping order, tallying and reporting vote counts, and ensuring that the Code is followed appropriately. Outside of the General Assembly, the PG awards member nations with appointments to the various League agencies and commissions during their term. The PG appoints three members to serve on the Codes Committee (until 2026, the Codes Committee was composed of the runner-up for PG and two members appointed by the PG), as well as nominating three nations to occupy seats on the International Justice Court. Court nominations, unlike appointments, are ratified by the Assembly. The Provost-General also has veto power over Security Council selections made by the head of the SC, which rotates between Urcea, Caphiria, and Kiravia.
