'''Malentina''' ([[Maalit language|Maalit]]: ''Mááleen'ti''; [[Qabóri language|Qabóri]]: ''Mâlintunóc''; [[Tiiu language|Tiiu]]: ''Amtàà'uska''), officially the '''Presidential Confederacy of Malentina''' (Maalit: ''Mááleen'ti Uqaalatikis Aptúúnala''; Qabóri: ''Tascena'ató Kuscant Mâlintunóc''; Tiiu: ''Poha'abíísdataabus Amtàà'uska''), and formerly known as '''Pertoolua''' until 1987, is a country in southern [[Crona]] in the western parts of the [[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 its 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''' ([[Maalit language|Maalit]]: ''Mááleen'ti''; [[Qabóri language|Qabóri]]: ''Mâlintunóc''; [[Tiiu language|Tiiu]]: ''Amtàà'uska''), officially the '''Presidential Confederacy of Malentina''' (Maalit: ''Mááleen'ti Uqaalatikis Aptúúnala''; Qabóri: ''Tascena'ató Kuscant Mâlintunóc''; Tiiu: ''Poha'abíísdataabus Amtàà'uska''), and formerly known as '''Pertoolua''' until 1987, is a country in southern [[Crona]] in the western parts of the [[Songun sea#North Songun Sea|North 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 its relative security from [[Zurgite Varshan|Varshani]] [[The Hunt (Varshan)|Hunts]]. During the 18th century Malentina became a somewhat important colony for the [[Ardmori people#Ænglo-Ardmori|Ænglish]]-descended settlers from [[Ardmore]] as they settled the mostly unsettled, or some argue abandoned, island of [[Hileenkop]].

Their economy is mostly built around agricultural products, a mixture of cash crops like tobacco and sugar as well as fishing products like crustaceans and squid. They do suffer from some insurgency issues partially caused by a severely-lacking military which still tends to lead to minor international meddling, mainly by Arcerion but more recently also by Tierrador ever since 2002. | ||
Most of the | Most of the nation's struggles are rooted in the demographic conflict between the Ænglo-Ardmori and native populations. Ever since the genocides of the Starlit Revolution, Ænglish-speaking nations such as Arcerion and Alstin have held a particular investment in ensuring the local far-left Neomaalit Waakabii extremist cells are destroyed post-haste. Because of these foreign interests, it has been commonplace for the last three dacades for Malentine settlements to be the target for foreign airstrikes. In recent years, however, Malentina has seen a shift in their approach to local insurgencies. With military assets provided by Tierrador, and with the breakdown in relations with Arcerion since 2002, they have started cracking down on terrorist cells without foreign intervention, while at the same time distancing themselves from Arcerion as a result. These actions have to a long diplomatic incident period surrounding Malentina which has risked becoming a major flashpoint for a power struggle over who holds the most influence over Malentina. | ||
