Marlatia

Marlatia is a country from the Hex universe.
==Geography==
The capital city of Marlatia is Emavan. Other known cities include South Fork, where Iobel Swan was born, and Panhar, where some of her mother's school friends live.
==Government==
The Marlatian royal line descends from a King Aynsee who ruled four centuries ago. Marlatia was previously ruled by Queen Alinaret Cartalian. She had two children, the twins Prince Edarial Cartalian and Prince Zevros Cartalian. Alinaret was not a good queen, and her death left the country in a bureaucratic mess steps away from civil war. Because Marlatia's laws require the monarch to be married, she could not be officially succeeded until one of the twins married. Her widowed husband acted as regent until Edarial's marriage to Iobel Swan, and Edarial and Iobel now rule jointly.
==Society and Culture==
Marlatia is, generally speaking, not very stable. There is a prevailing local religion which remained, at least until Edarial and Iobel's wedding, noticeably sexist. The Equinox Revel is a major Marlatian holiday and the local language is Marlatian.
==Economy==
Marlatia imports tropical luxuries such as fruit from their neighbor Ethayr, though their relationship has been tense ever since Alinaret took a dislike to the ambassador.
