Muldania

Muldania (Karsylvanian: Mûldania), officially the Republic of Muldania (Karsylvanian: Republica Mûldaniei), is a sovereign state located in Eastern Eurea, bordered by Berat to the east and Karsylvania to the west and north, with a maritime border with Lima to the south. Its capital and most-populous city is Tiranol, located in the north of the country. Muldania has a population of about 3.1 million inhabitants.
Organized civilization first began in the territory of modern-Muldania in the 5th-century, with the establishment of numerous small city-states. After the unificiation of the first Kingdom of Karsylvania in the 9th-century, Muldania differentiated itself by resisting unification efforts and establishing itself as the Muldanian Protectorate, independent of the Kingdom. However, after about a century of independence, the Principality was conquered by the Kingdom and annexed as an outer province. After existing as an independent and sovereign nation for several centuries, the Kingdom unified with the neighboring Kingdom of Magoria to create the Mago-Karsylvanian Empire in the 17th-century. A politically powerful state, the Empire dominated the region, despite having little interest in imperialism of its own. In order to fend off threats of invasion by the neighboring Kashan Empire, the Mago-Karsylvanian Empire allowed the Kashan Empire to annex Muldania, being incorporated as a province in the 18th-century. A coup d'état occurred in the 20th-century, with the Empire being overthrown by fascists and becoming the Kashan Union. Muldania was incorporated as the Muldanian Fascist Republic of Kasha, becoming one of the most impoverished and economically disadvantaged of the Kashan Republics due to its far distance from the powerful federal government in Zakarina. Individual freedoms and liberties were greatly diminished under the fascist regime, with high levels of poverty, famine, and instability. Following a weakening of the Union and increasing foreign pressure from democracies, the Union began to fall in the 1980s; Muldania declared its independence in 1989.
After receiving its independence, Muldania established itself as a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic. Its head of state is the President, who is elected via a popular vote for a five-year term that can be renewed indefinitely. The President is a ceremonial figurehead in Muldanian politics who holds no real power, wielding even less power than some other ceremonial presidents; the President acts as a national symbol of unity, formally appoints all ministers, and greets visiting foreign heads of state, but cannot veto bills and is not the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. All political power is vested in the Prime Minister, who serves as the head of government. The Prime Minister is most often the leader of the governing coalition in parliament, and they thus serve as the chief legislator of the nation. The Prime Minister is tasked with implementing their own policy agenda through legislation and leading a council of ministers. The parliament of Muldania is its 105-seat unicameral legislature.
Of its population of about 3.1 million, approximately 57.5% identifies as ethnically Muldanian and 22.7% as Karsylvanian. There is ongoing debate as to whether the native inhabitants of Muldania are a distinct ethnic group or no different from the neighboring Karsylvanians, and this divide exemplifies this; both groups are considered by the Muldanian government to be native inhabitants, and the population is sometimes counted as being 80.2% Muldo-Karsylvanian. A further 10.2% of the population identifies as Akrainian, 8.5% as Kashan, and the remaining 1.1% as other ethnic groups; most Akrainians and Kashans arrived in Muldania during the era of the Kashan Union in an attempt to stimulate the Muldanian economy by bringing skilled laborers to work in Muldanian industries instead of Kashan or Akrainian industries; most of these migrant workers ended up remaining in Muldania even after independence. The sole official language of Muldania is Karsylvanian, a Proto-Regian language; like the ethnic population of Muldania, there is debate over whether the national language is Karsylvanian or instead the "Muldanian language;" most linguists agree that the Muldanian language does not exist and is simply a mutually intelligible dialect of Karsylvanian. Approximately 65.5% of the native-speaking population refers to the language as Karsylvanian, while the remaining 34.5% refers to it as Muldanian, while it is referred to as exclusively Karsylvanian by the Muldanian government. Approximately 83.4% of the population speaks Karsylvanian natively, while 94.5% can communicate in it at all. There are two officially recognized minority languages of Muldania: Akrainian and Kashan, both Slavoric languages; Akrainian is spoken natively by 7.9% of the population, while Kashan is spoken natively by 8.2%, with the remaining 0.5% speaking other languages. Approximately 15.5% of the total population can communicate in Akrainian, while 83.7% can communicate in Kashan. Muldania is a highly religious nation, with approximately 87.6% adhering to Eastern Eurean Christianity. A further 2.5% to other religions, while 9.9% identifies as atheist, agnostic, or irreligious. Weekly religious attendance is rather high, with 32.5% of the population reporting attending religious services at least weekly, with ethnic Kashans attending much less frequently than other ethnic groups.
