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. | |||

The Malentinan government is mainly inspired by the confederate system in Arcerion, despite how it may first appear. While the highest offices differ greatly from Arcerion, it has many functional similarities. The ruling body is separated into four main components: The Senate, the Parliaments, the Internal cabinets and the External cabinet. The most notable differences is the fact that the Malentinan republic is a presidential system, as well as having no single representative for the entire confederation. | |||
Since the Malentinan government in it's current state has only existed for a few decades, as well as the tension between the different cultural groups within the nation, the state suffers from a lack of legitimacy in the eyes of many of it's people. The actions of their predecessors also weaken the nations foreign policy with most of the first-world nations, leading to more closer ties to local neighbors as well as none Levantine nations such as [[Coruum]] and [[Caphiria]]. | |||
Elections for the position of president as well as lower house positions differ between the three republics. While each presidential vote takes place every seven years they each have their own institutions for carrying out these elections. The lower houses differ greatly, a good example of which is the large differences in elections. Parliamentary elections are carried out every two, five and seven years respectively for the House of Commons, the Gathering of the West and the Northern Assembly respectively. | |||
===Executive=== | ===Executive=== | ||
Under the Treaty of the New Confederation, Malentina separates it's executive branch into three separate institutions, all of which function somewhat differently. These three presidential offices is usually referred to as the Treaty Triad, and together make up the head of state and government for each of the three confederated republics. They each bring with them a number of cabinet members to help serve the executive roles of external affairs. How the executive actions for the confederacy as a whole such as important trade agreements are to be carried out use a simple majority compromise system, where each of the republics receive one vote and must vote for or against the course of action. | |||
Tradition states that no president may stay after a single term, although there is not law that actually prevents this. | |||
Each of the republics internal offices features it's own domestic departments, taking care of internal affairs for the separately. While each of these have some differences most are very similar thanks to the singular main influence of the Arcerion system. | |||
===Legislature=== | ===Legislature=== | ||
The Legislature in Malentina is split between the upper house of the Senate, and the lower houses of the three republican assemblies, The Gathering of the West, The House of Commons and the Northern Assembly. The lower houses work separately from each other for domestic legislation for the confederate members, but meet up together to form the lower house, usually referred to simply as the Parliament, during a one month in the spring and one month in the autumn to take care of confederate legislation. | |||
The Senate is chosen from important and powerful individuals mainly from the old aristocracy, the not-quite-as-old political families from the revolutionary era as well as academics and businessmen. While the senate was originally created with the idea that they would have great limitations to their powers to propose new laws and resolutions, their influence has slowly grown over time, mainly as a result of presidential actions and corruption. Even though proposals by the senate must pass through the Parliament, it is very common for these proposals to be approved without even being discussed. On the other while at first the proposals from the Parliament were traditionally always approved, they now more often find themselves being rejected by the senate. | |||
The lower houses are simple elected positions, usually through a common party system, each of which has it's own number of seats and domestic responsibilities. This causes difficulties as although the houses have differing number of members under the Treaty of the New Confederation they must each have an equal amount of voting power in the combined lower house. This has caused many issues including the perception of the fairness of parliamentary decisions and the counting of votes. | |||

Malentinan municipalities hold a great deal of local power and create even more complications which has allowed the spread of sever corruption in some of these local jurisdictions. | |||
