Kingdom of Mulia

Mulian “Mulika”

Flag of the Kingdom of Mulia (199 - 594)

Formerly the Mulian Empire in the old lore.

## Geography

Mulia, or the Kingdom of Mulia, is a kingdom located on the south coast in central Ludanis. It is highly mountainous in the north, with temperate grasslands in the center of the Kingdom, spreading from east to west, with some infrastructure in this region.

Most of the infrastructure and population is located on the coast, with over 70% of the population located there. It is home to the Rogoli mountain range, and the Luban Cathedral.

## Politics

The Kingdom is very stable, prosperous, and wealthy, but weak. The country is an absolute monarchy which has plenty of support from it's populace. The country believes in building strong infrastructure and establishing a safe and secure place within the country. As such every year it receives over 500,000 immigrants.

The Kingdom believes in a free market, outside of products monitored by the government. School textbooks, as well as school supplies are kept at a fixed, low price, to prevent schools from ramping up the price & making college & university difficult to pay for.

The Kingdom, as well as the people, believe in a small, powerful government, ruled by an absolute monarch, whom of which is a descendant of the House of Skoger, or the rightful ruling house.

The Kingdom outlaws abortion, as such resulting in a population boom. In fact, the Kingdom even supports & encourages growth.

Schools are mandatory & children are forced to attend school, albeit a very basic one, at the age of 2, this basic school teaches the children how to read, how to write, basic math, and how to respond to certain situations, preparing them for the much more difficult other stages of school, which begins at age 5.

## Military

### Army

”Mulian Royal Army Service”

The Mulian Army is a purely defensive army. For the very few times they go on the attack, it's to the end of the war and they are winning. The Rudanian Wars are a good example of this.

The army uses foreign equipment of training, and is usually incompetent- at the fault of others. Royalty meddles with the, albeit very few, competent general staff decisions. Many were born and bred into the position, with very few actually working up. This is why the general staff is usually incompetent.

* Infantry - 95,000~
* Cavalry- 35,000~
* Artillery- 20,000~
* Armor- 3,500~
* Total: 153,500

### Air Force

”Mulian Royal Flying Service”

This is the least neglected department of the military. While still using foreign equipment, the officers are domestically trained, and so are the pilots.

## History

### Origins of the Kingdom

The Kingdom of Mulia was established when Suranian Pirates established a port city in Luban, in year 0 CP or the same year the Presian Empire collapsed, which would become the capital of Mulia.

The pirates used a monarchy like system, having the captain be the king. The first house was House of Unker, until the Kingdom of Suran invaded, and put the House of Skoga in power; in 45 CP.

The Kingdom of Mulia was abolished after 45 CP and replaced with the Duchy of Luban, which lasted until 86 CP, in which the Kingdom of Suran collapsed and so was the Duchy of Luban, and the Kingdom of Mulia was restored with major territorial gains, taking the Rudania Region with them.

### Outlawing of Serfdomry and Slavery.

The Kingdom never actually had slavery, in contrast to other countries on the other side of the world. In fact, no countries in the Northwestern Quartersphere, let alone the Western Hemisphere, even had slavery.

### Dormancy Period

The kingdom remained dormant, not having a war until 321, in which the 1st Peninsula War broke out, in which the kingdom intervened in support of the Kingdom of Ludice, in which Mulia won.

The kingdom never declared an offensive war, instead raking in a massive amount of money, from trade deals and taxes, developing infrastructure & civilian departments, and further lining the pockets of the aristocracy with the spare money.

### Dawn of the Republic

In 594, after the death of Antony IV in 592, his son Androyr VII, a staunch democrat, took control of the kingdom. 2 years after his inheritment, he abdicated, declaring himself as the first president of Mulia, peacefully ending the nearly 600 year old monarchy.

At first, the citizens opposed the change, as they were used to not being able to vote, nor being able to change what passes, and what doesn’t. After a while the protest calmed down.

Every 4 years they would vote on 2 new candidates.
