==Sovereign States==
===United Kingdoms of ʻĀinakai===
The United Kingdoms of ʻĀinakai (Oiwiʻolelo: Nā Apuni Lokahi o ʻĀinakai) is the nation of the Maluhia Archipelago that remains under the rule of the indigenous Oiwi people outside of Soligaian rule. It occupies the western half of the Maluhia Archipelago, sharing the archipelago with the Meridiño colonies of the Tampico to the east.
The largest island of the nation by total land area is the island of Kaikamahine in the northwest. In the northeast of the nation is the ring island of Akua Mokupuni. The island in the center is Ola ʻUhane, in the center of which is a vast ancient temple believed to house the tomb of Iekika Ka'aukai.
As part of the Maluhia Archipelago, ʻĀinakai is sometimes also referred to as paradise due to its near isolation from the rest of the world, and the waters remain pure and untouched, allowing the tradition of surfing.
ʻĀinakai is a collection autonomous Oiwi chiefdoms/kingdoms under the hegemony of ʻĀinakai itself. ʻĀinakai itself, which rules all of Kaikamahine, and the nation began there. The various Oiwi chiefdoms of Keikamahine were united by diplomacy and conquest first beginning under the reign of Aliʻi Nui Kaihekoa IV, also known as Kaihekoa Ka Mea Nui (Kaihekoa the Great). At first Kaihekoa established hegemony over the immediate area around his home village of ʻĀinakai with marriage alliances before spreading out to control Kaikamahine more by conquest. For several centuries, control of Kaikamahine fluctuated between ʻĀinakai and several other powerful kingdoms before full sovereign control of the island fell under ʻĀinakai's just before the Soligaians came. Over the centuries, the chiefdoms of the other islands began following ʻĀinakai's example and began unifying their home islands as well.
As Soligaian powers, mostly Meridiña, encroached and conquered the eastern archipelago, more and more chiefdoms and kingdoms in the outlying islands sought powerful alliances and unification for protection from conquest by the Soligaians, some even offering vassalage to ʻĀinakai. An eventual coalition of kingdoms, referred to in history as the Huihui o ke Kai (Coalition of the Sea), banded together under the leadership of ʻĀinakai to wage a series of major wars that ended in neither victory or defeat but kept the Soligaians from spreading any further. This was also aided by the fact that the Soligaians had began fighting each other for territory in the archipelago. In the aftermath of the wars, the coalition consolidated under ʻĀinakai's rule, though the chiefdoms remain autonomous from one another and only answer to the Ānuenue family of ʻĀinakai. 
ʻĀinakai remains free of Soligaian rule and has fostered prosperous trade.

The Empire of Majapahit is an archipelagic nation of Taraki origin in western Maritymir, occupying the Kejawen Archipelago. Majapahit shares maritime borders with no other nation in Maritymir.
Majapahit was once known as the Empire of Srivijaya. After the said empire fell, the archipelago became divided between the kingdoms Kediri, Singhasari, Kahuripan, Sunda, Galuh, and Medang, all vying for land power, a time in Kejaweni history known as the Six Kingdoms Period. This period of back and forth territorial expansion and recession ended when all six kingdom were reassimilated into a single empire through a treaty of union.

The Chiefdom of Sahul is a large monarchical island nation in northwest Maritymir, occupying the island of the same name and many more. It shares maritime borders solely with Nukilani, its suzerainty, to the southeast. Sahul was allegedly part of the Soynaltian mainland before the Great Ketellaao, but whether of not this is true is unclear.
===Empire of Soynaltiar===
Soynaltiar is an island nation in central Maritymir, taking up the whole of the island continent of the same name, the many islands surrounding it, and a portion of the eastern islands known as the Wildlands.
Eastward, it shares land and maritime borders on three islands: Elapardris, the southern island; Darkatisyol, the small ringed island; and Zantyonas, the larger northern island. On Elapardris and Darkatisyol, Soynaltiar solely borders the colonial province of Xotil, Nactcudt; but on Zantyonas, Soynaltiar borders Nactcudt to the east and the Jóiazês colonial province of Ilhas Selvagens to the north. 
One of the oldest continuous nations on Qirsyllviar, and currently ruled by the Kyiida Dynasty, Soynaltiar, like Xotil, is also the site of ancient strange technology and ruins made of stone and metal, but they learned how to use it much earlier than the Xotil did. It is presumed to be the same sort that exists in Nekcroz, but these are relatively younger and most believe the ancient civilization that created the technology – referred to by historians as the Qophrae, based on partially translated glyphs – originated in Nekcroz, making ancient Soynaltiar a colony of the Qophrae. The Soynaltians of the time salvaged the strange technology and used it to make their homeland prosper, and became the first nation, until Xotil, to master flight without magic or beast-riding.
Unlike Xotil, Soynaltiar had no interest in expanding beyond their island's borders, and so stopped using the salvaged technology for conquest once Soynaltiar achieved dominance over the Soynaltian homeland and surrounding islands; regardless, Soynaltiar has still been known to resort to war and invasion to achieve demands or repel threats.
The island continent Soynaltiar occupies used to be much larger, with additional land to the southwest, and east; the Wildlands were also once part of the whole. But, an accident during a civil war known to history as Kanjiniro-Tografik War (a civil war between two dynasties competing for the throne following the extinction of the Hoklorac Dynasty), caused by ill-tampering with the alien technology, resulted in a cataclysmic disaster known to Soynaltian history as the Great Ketellaao. The Great Ketellaao is described in ancient texts as a massive earthquake that shook the land for fourteen full days, and created many tsunamis, some nearly two miles high. The devastation resulted in over half of Soynaltiar's original lands, mostly lands to the southwest and the east, breaking off and moving further out, becoming large subcontinental islands outlying the mainland, the Wildlands being one prominent example. Some of the former whole didn't survive the disaster and sank beneath the waves, particularly lands which used to be northwestern continent and some lands that were once between the current islands. Some smaller islands that existed before the disaster also sank. The few small islands that didn't sink beneath the waves simply moved further out. The Great Ketellaao reportedly affected other lands around Maritymir, but this is unconfirmed.
After the Great Ketellaao, Soynaltiar on the mainland collapsed into at least seven different independent states and didn't reunite into a single state for at least three centuries. But, even with reunification, the Soynaltiar all but abandoned administrating most of the eastern lands while it rebuilt the mainland, paving way for several other new nations to form in absence of the Soynaltian government; at least until the invasion and colonization of the Wildlands by Xotil and Jóiazão.
===Undersea Nations===

==Neutral Territory==
===Insulae Calvariae===
Insulae Calvariae is a pair of skull-shaped islands in northern Maritymir, halfway between the Gugyo Archipelago and ʻĀinakai. It is, by a mutual unwritten agreement between nations, neutral ground.
In exploitation of this, pirates from all over Qirsyllviar have made it a haven for hiding out and the island has long been feared to house the souls of the dead that never passed from the world. Other myths say that these islands house a passage to the underworld. But this has yet to be proven either fact or fiction, as no one, not even the pirates that use the island, has ever ventured into the lower bowels of the islands for thousands of years.
==Notes & Trivia ==
*The demonym for people from Maritymir is "Maritymiri".
*What's shown on the map is known as "Maritymir proper"; the Maritymiri Ocean technically ends at the eastern shores of Tarak, the western shores of Nekcroz, and at the grand line to the north.
**The waters that extend into the southward across the South Pole are called the Eluoec Sea, which is considered separate from the main ocean.
*The waters within the Maluhia Archipelago, which is divided between ʻĀinakai and the Meridiño and Jóiazês colonies, Tampico and Ilhas de Grama respectively, is believed to be the homeland of Iekika Ka'aukai, the first Abjaksan of the great ocean.
*The reason Majapahit is mostly cut off on the map is because most of the archipelago is situated closer to Tarak.
*Although not shown on the map, thousands of small islands and mini-archipelagos dot the surface. However, some periodically vanish beneath the waves and then reappear some time later due to the water levels constantly rising and falling.
