Mortonia

Mortonia (Mortonian: Moorti), officially the Republic of Mortonia (Mortonian: Moorti Jeipäretuu), is a sovereign state located in Northern Eurea as one of the Taltic states, bordered by Kasha to the east and Lemuria to the south, with maritime borders with Ranland to the north and Framland to the west. Its capital and most-populous city is Otesalu, located on the northwestern coast of the country. Mortonia has a population of about 1.2 million inhabitants.
Organized civilization first began in the territory of modern-Mortonia in the 2nd-century, with various small city-states and kingdoms being established. The territory did not unify until its conquering by the Kingdom of Framland in the 16th-century, becoming incorporated as the Province of Mortonia. Mortonia received their independence from Framland in the 19th-century, becoming the Mortonian Republic. After about a century of independence, Mortonia was invaded by the Kashan Union in the 20th-century. Kashan Mortonia existed as a constituent country of the Kashan Union for seven years, with a fascist government. Following political pressure put on the Kashan Union, they released their grasp on Mortonia later that century, with independence being restored to the Republic of Mortonia.
After receiving independence, Mortonia established itself as a unitary parliamentary republic. Its head of state is the President, indirectly elected for a four-year term that is renewable once. The President is merely a ceremonial office, lacking many powers even offered to Presidents in other parliamentary systems. The President of Mortonia cannot veto bills and is barred from expressing political opinion, instead simply existing to formally appoint members of the government and act as a unifying figurehead for the nation. In its current state, the presidency is typically awarded to an elder statesman who has recently retired from an active role in government. The chief legislator of the nation and highest-ranking politician is the Prime Minister, who serves as head of government. The Prime Minister is typically the leader of the governing coalition in parliament, and is tasked with drafting legislation, leading a council of ministers, and overall day-to-day operations in the country. The Maagukoorpuu is the 105-seat unicameral parliament of Mortonia.
Of its population of 1.2 million, approximately 90.1% of the population identifies as ethnically Mortonian. The two largest ethnic minorities are the Framish community and Kashans, who constitute 4.5% and 3.2%, respectively. Both of these ethnic groups began residing in Mortonia when their respective nations had control over Mortonia, and have remained in the nation since. The remaining 2.2% consists of people from other ethnic groups, primarily Ranns, Lemurians, and Levonians. The sole official and national language of Mortonia is Mortonian, a Mundaric language. Mortonian is closely related to the Rann language, which has led to close relations between Mortonia and Ranland. Mortonia is the only Taltic state that does not speak a Taltic language, instead historically associating itself more with Laposcandia. Framish, a Laposcandian language, is officially recognized as a minority language; most Mortonians are fluent in Framish, although it is only spoken natively by the Framish community, who chiefly reside on the island of Saarmuu, which has its own parliament and a degree of autonomy given to it by the federal government. Mortonia is one of the most irreligious nations in the world; approximately 18.5% of the population identifies as Christian, with 11.8% as nondenominational Christians, 3.0% as members of the Church of Framland, 2.6% as Eastern Eurean Christians, and 1.1% as members of other Christian churches. 0.6% of the population identifies as belonging to another religion, while 80.9% identifies as irreligious, agnostic, or atheist. Weekly religious attendance is also very low, numbering only 4.5%. Reasons for low religious attendance are that Mortonia never had a unifying Christian church, and that most Christian missionaries never reached Mortonia; many irreligious Mortonian people also express a belief in Mortonian mythology, with 45.8% of Mortonians identifying as a follower of Mortonian mythology.
