Sona Maldo has been working on helping with climate change with helping with forcing more items to be reusable sources rather than only being used once. Sona Maldo has over 2 different solar panels, and windmills farms around Storsepla and some in Hingson. however, it is quite costly to land to create/fix these farms.

## Economy of Sona Maldo

### National loyalty

Sona Maldo has an economic problem where Droughts have made it hard on them so a national interest of theirs is to find a way to control the droughts that are happening. Another national interest is protecting a person's ethnicity in hope of it to not be affected however it’s been quite hard to do that due to the country almost being assimilated

### Economic Goals

Due to droughts in Sona Maldo a lot of animals haven’t been able to find water so one of the goals that the people want to pursue is to help get water to animals and plants and people too that haven’t been able to find any. Sona Maldo also wants the country to grow bigger than how it has been in the past years by helping indigenous tribes that are in the country so they can live and contribute to the country in either cities or towns or outside of the towns and with the wildlife.

### National Security

National security for the military to help grow that even stranger since Sona Maldo only has about 10,000 people that are apart of it. Sona Maldo would also hope for the Military to always be ready when needed so that people can surround big areas like Stadiums or government official business just so the people can feel safe in the country. Sona Maldo protects the land with policing or anyone that is apart of that area, being able to respond to a threat by any means possible. If a cop sees any sort of person who is about mischievous intentions are allowed to intervene with it. We also have 24-hour border control as well so that say someone tries to cross the border illegally they can stop them as well.

### Humanitarianism

They also show Contending loyalties to the immigrants by forcing them into taxation, and to other British and German actions where they are allowed in the country they are however not supported. Another one is that for example say you do something that is a religious purpose as long as it doesn't affect others around you or yourself you're allowed to practice it.

## Domestic Policy of Sona Maldo

### Key Elements

Sona Maldo has Taxes towards buying certain products such as Hunting rifles, technology, cars, housing etc. However, Government taxation isn't a big part although you don't pay the Government directly they instead take percentages from other taxes on things such as house bills or hospital bills, only immigrants have to pay the government directly. The Monetary policy in the country is also a thing where it helps Inflation, and interest rates as well as anyone who is being affected by debt in the country. Public work is found to be a major job work for people that have immigrated to the country as well as the highest paying job for someone who has not gotten a decent education in the country. The military is also a domestic policy in the country.

### Conscription

Sona Maldo does not support conscription, however, Sona Maldo has something similar to conscription where it's not mandatory. for example, if a person doesn't finish schooling and wants to try going through it again they can go through this program which will help them in that sort of area. it's a 4-year progress where the people that are apart of it have to spend the 4 years in military service and 3 out of the 4 years they have to finish an education process similar to school while they are in the military.

### Military

Sona Maldo has one of the smallest militaries in the world having approximately 10,000 people in the army, the country has an armed force and an airforce with over 3,000 of them in the airforce. With people having to have at most hard 6-8 weeks of training starting from the age of 16 until 40 which is cut off but you are unable to join either the armed force or airforce until you are the age of 18, you must also be a citizen of the country, not an immigrant can enlist. The military is a domestic policy where it helps deal with national problems by giving someone a chance to work and a way to protect the country. Sona Maldo uses OTENEA as their organization to protect them for collective security as well as being an ally with some other countries such as North America, China and Brazil being a few major ones with which they have made a treaty between them. The country doesn’t have much of a deterrence unless of the fact of having missiles and military based weapons but even then the majority of their equipment is out of date from back in the 70s since the last war. instead, Sona Maldo just hopes for the best and that Big brother (aka the other countries) will be intimidating enough in short answer Sona Maldo is a Nuke free country.

### Self-Determination

The country has gained some Self-Determination in the country where people have now been giving the option to choose their own life in the country such as who they want to marry, who should be their president etc. Yes, groups such as LGBTQ movements and certain ethnic groups trying to make a stand are still a big part of trying to get greater self-determination in my country.

### Education

Sona Maldo believes that everyone should be allowed to get a good education in any area that they might be in, thanks to the support of other countries they have been able to build 900+ schools around Sona Maldo however its been found that areas near the borders don't have a well decent education system in the country so they hope in the near future that can change. Every school must be fit to teach the students in either English or Swahili and at the moment only 75% of the population have gotten a high school degree so they hope in the future that percentage can be raised hire so fewer people don't have to worry about not being able to live without any education. School ages are mandatory from age 5-17 and are split by age in teaching skills. Sona Maldo has been struggling with finding a teacher to be able to teach at the schools so they hope that it will also change soon.

### Health

Sona Maldo does not have free health care at all in any of the countries so it has been hard to get any medical attention for many people in the country, there are about 200+ Hospitals that are known in Sona Maldo. Immigrants have the opportunity to get health care just like everyone else, the issue is it's with payment, it has been found that most people will travel outside of Sona Maldo to get treatment since everywhere around them except for Tanzania gives free health care so it's much cheaper outside of the country.

### Immigration

If you are immigrating to the country you must have no criminal file on you, you would also need to have a full inspection on first coming to the country showing that why you are coming here to live is in good intentions once you are apart of being an immigrant in the country you must not leave at all until allowed after a few years. There will be taxes for being an immigrant which shouldn't be a problem since when immigrating certain jobs are allowed to you such as working at a dump, construction etc. if you don’t fit any of these boxes you have 30 days to leave the country or if you don’t you'll get deported. For people that are refugees however many immigration laws are changed, if you are being a refugee in the country, you are not allowed to have any work experience the country you can only be unemployed. The government or national security has to issue a response on whether or not you can enter as a refugee as well as how long you can stay in the country. One problem with being a refugee in Sona Maldo is that there are no places that you can stay at to get the resources you need you would have to find a different solution for finding needs which is the best option is to just become an immigrant into the country.

### Internationalism/Supranationalism

Sona Maldo supports both internationalism and supranationalism however either the UN and OTNEAA (Organization Treaty for North Eastern Africa Agreement) countries that are apart of this are Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya and Sona Maldo where this treaty is similar to how the AU with help protect country sovereignty works the only difference is that all 5 countries have to be on board on the agreement. Internationalism has been a big part of Sona Maldo due to it has helped get the resources for them to grow and cooperate with other countries which helped get them the support that they needed.

### Nations status on the world country

The Country isn’t overly heard as much as the other countries in the world, due to the small part of what the country does for the world they mostly only ever get the option to choose or vote on agreements with others.

### Role In the UN

Their role within the UN is that they help protect countries with peacekeeping and help with peace and security with others in Africa, Sona Maldo also get's help from the countries since they aren't a 1st world country with getting help to stop hunger in the country and poor work experiences. The UN has been a big part in helping Storsepla with helping the growth of the city and making it a major place for visitation and population. The plan is for the UN to help the rest of Sona Maldo so it can be like Storsepla. Sona Maldo also helps with protecting human rights inside the country and outside of it, Sona Maldo believes that everyone should be treated with being allowed with rights and freedom.

### Trade Agreements

Sona Maldo has been known to trade with nearly every country there is including the ones that don’t have a great bond with them. It's one of the ways the government gets values and resources for them or the country. Although only a few major agreements with other countries such as they have one with North America on giving resources like rubber in return for valuables and resources this major trade has been going for a while. As well as OTENEA has also made a big impact on trade between the 5 countries.

### Sovereignty
