Maplia

Maplia, officially known as Republic of Maplia (Maplian: Republikê d'Maplia, Dutch: Republiek Maplia), is a sovereign country in northwestern Thinglandia. It is bordered by Chatinam to the north and Interlands to the west and south. Inspired by Tim Cook.
==History==
=== Prehistory ===
Maplia's known history dates back to 5900 BC where several tribes dominate the coast of modern Maplia. The largest tribe at the time was the Maldkarses and had advanced technologies such as maps, stable roads, boats, and bridges. The tribes eventually grow.
=== Several City-States ===
From 4200 to 4000 BC, several tribes became so big that they formed city-states, which have an elective leader known as Xöbélak. As of 3000 BC, there were 210 city-states located in modern Maplia. However, in 2376 BC, a huge storm affected Maplia and many city-states were destroyed. After the Great Storm, there were now 28 city-states.
Maldkarsia invented the Maplius religion in 2109 BC, which believes in the Levdächeñî (Supreme Controller) who manages great storms every 1024 years. As of 2100 BC, the Maldkarses thought that the 2nd World ends in 1352 BC.
By the 15th century BC, the remaining city-states grew and became shethrikhinates, with each containing a leader known as sheðrixin (state controller).
=== Unified Maplian Empire ===
In 482 BC, the 28 shethrikhinates unify together under the Xwalgöði (Treaty) of Maldkarsia to form the Unified Maplian Empire, or Mêxlipixa Jeoxalhangtî. During the first years of the unified empire, Maplia progressed quickly in defence and technologies under the first Jeoxa (Emperor), Yäxultîña Gîhlênté.
The empire existed for a very long time and eventually became a parliamentary monarchy in 1474 AD. Maplia went through several dynasties from 482 BC to 1474, which are Gîhlênté (482 BC-13 AD), Yudzaxári (13 AD-480 AD), Wojnaða (480 AD-516 AD), Chejosh (516 AD-1000 AD), Zaraxanað (1000-1309), and Listaitê (1309-1474).
=== Dutch invasion (1601-1690) ===
In 1601, the Dutch people found a mysterious portal in a cave in Amsterdam and decided to go through it. However, they didn't know that they were in a continent that is only visible in the other slice of the 4D Earth. The Dutch thought they were the Indians and started invading the territory. However, they noticed that the coast was different from India and realized they were teleported to another slice of the 4D World. In 1690, the Dutch were able to go back to the Netherlands through a portal in Xuhlät (now Applen).
=== Industrialization ===
The industrialization of Maplia began in 1790 when the Agonians arrived in Xuhlät. Maplians started working longer for industrial jobs and rapidly increased the economy in Maplia. In the 1800s, Maplia became the number 1 producer of industries in the continent of Thinglandia. By 1850, the economy was 12 times more than 1789. Eventually, it was too much to handle for the government, and the Crown Duke of Maplia Rashajöx III announced that he'll change the country into a First Republic.
=== First Republic ===
In 1867, Rashajöx III decided to reform the country into a republican system and named himself Rashajöx Lidharxi, President of Maplia. He then appointed Fishîr Gopjamanê as the Prime Minister. When Rashajöx died in 1882, he was succeded by his eldest child, Dzämêxar Lekahanî as president. Dzämêxar then announced the election cycle, every 5 years from 1885. When Jutêxa Bekäni inaugurated as president in 1901 following the 1900 elections, his government started an initiative to build hospitals and schools in rural areas without essential services. They also announced a "ambu-chälhugo", which is an emergency medical vehicle based on the designs of the traditional chälhugo vehicles and can travel in rural areas and areas without essential services.
The economy had a second expansion in the 1920s and there were way more employees than before. There were more factories and the population could buy more nice things than ever before. The buy-now pay-later scheme became mainstream in Maplia in the early 1930s and resulted in people buying things that they could not afford. People from rural areas were buying Maplian-made cars which created an illusion of wealth. Meanwhile, many adults were fond of this trend and decided to get big loans from the bank. Suddenly, there were too many people getting huge loans and caused a bottleneck. The banks ran out of money because of people spending their loan money on rich things. It caused the "Financial Downfall" and unemployment and homelessness started increasing.
=== Socialist Maplia (1950-1978) ===
Meanwhile, the Socialist Movement saw the news about the Financial Downfall and thought that the government rigged the economy. The leader of the movement, Guphir Haralöngtî, makes a plan and invades a random town in rural Maplia. They shoot people who were angry with the invasion, but it was too much to handle for them. When they went back to the planning board, the rural people thought it was over, but it was just the beginning.
Guphir bribed other socialist members to activate the plan. Eventually, they reach Xuhlät and starts a martial law. The Socialist Movement starts a civil war with the Freedom Side after the martial law and successfully invades Xuhlät and Chanaitir. Due to the effects of the economy downfall in Maplia, the Freedom Side did a terrible job on fighting through the war while the Socialist Movement borrows weapons from the Soviets secretly through a portal. Maplia was then fully invaded by the Socialist Movement after the 3 year long war from 1946 to 1949.
Immediately after the inauguration of the Maplia SR in 1950, the Chairperson (Maplian: Gáxälök Xohlúchêng, lit. Great Emperor) of Maplia SR, Guphir Haralöngtî, announced that they'll annex Raivelles Islands near Elverway. Guphir sent hundreds of Territory Takers to the Raivelles and sprawled a genocide to the natives. This was so bad that many tried to leave to other countries but the Territory Takers were very powerful and they got killed by the genocide. The children were taken away and were put into confinements.
The surviving native people of the Raivelles initiated a protest in Maplia's neighbouring countries, such as Chatinam and Garavelko (now part of the Interlands) and one Raivellean native unsuccessfully attempted to kill Guphir Haralöngtî.
In 1973, an economic collapse happened throughout Maplia and the problem of homelessness, unemployment, and inequality came back after the Financial Downfall of the 1930s. Unfortunately, the Chairperson of Maplia, Robérta Legaxöngtî, ignored those problems, claiming that it is "already fixed", and he also survived a car crash. It was very controversial and by the following year, people took to the streets to protest about the Socialist Republic. People also pointed out human rights violations and the negligence to the Chairperson.
By the mid to late 1970s, people were usually organizing protests and demanding the impeachment of Legaxöngtî. However, the Chairperson took control and started another martial law. Eventually, it was way more frustrating and people tried to raid the Government Office.
=== The Restoration ===
By 1977, it was clear that people are starting to escape to other countries for a better life, despite the existence of the Maplian Barrier. On March 5, 1978, a large crowd managed to enter the premises of the Government Office and successfully killed the Chairperson of Maplia SR, Robérta Legaxöngtî. Eventually, the Government couldn't find a suitable Chairperson, so it remained vacant. People took advantage and managed to break the Maplian Barrier. Later, Communist Party member, Lorün Mashaði announced the dissolution of the Maplia SR and the flag was lowered one last time.
