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. | Maloka is a developing nation with a fairly small GDP, and relies heavily on Faneria for funding its military and political process.

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. | The three major political parties of Maloka are the Red Suns, White Suns, and Forward Path.

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. | Voting in Maloka is limited to citizens; the Forward Path has been pushing for a switch to landed voting but is unsuccessful.

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. | 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.

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. | 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.

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. | Maloka is divided into thirteen provinces, three of which are semiautonomous as part of the [[Rianee Cooperative Reserve]].

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. | Education is highly stratified, with the Algosh population being 85% literate, the Malki being 64% literate, and the Rianee being 4% literate.

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. | ||

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. | |||
