History
Founding of Maltovia
Around the middle of June, 2018 dissatisfaction with the political environment of Mount Augusta several grew within some members of the The Worker's Party. This culminated on the 17th June, on which the organisation for the "Birth of a new Nation" began. After a short period of finding the cultural identity, rough government form, claims, etc the idea of the People's Republic of Maltovia was finalized. The legislative, executive and judicative power was exercised by the transitionary government, which was tasked with the creation of a constitution.
The Big Territorial Dispute
Even though completely abandoned, the island which now is owned in it's entirety by Maltovia was first owned by the nation of Rowa, though that claim was never to be seen on any claims map, which led to the situation were two nations stated ownership over the entire island. Things were settled by dividing the island, the northern half was owned by Rowa, while the southern half was now owend by Maltovia. During that time early developed on that island started, but it mostly consisted of wheat and oak tree farms. Followed by a short period of calmness, a third group, mostly emigrants from Yoahtl came and claimed full ownership over the island. This complicated situation led to diplomatic talks between said emigrants, Rowa and Maltovia, in which all groups agreed to give the whole island to Maltovia. This has been the status quo since today.
First Legitimate Government
After a series of discussions, on the 7th July of 2018 the transitionary government came to a conclusion on how to structure the government, and thus the new government was formed. The government, now called the "People's Commissariat" made it to their mission to enhance the development of the island, which til this day had been rather lackluster.
Government
The People's Republic of Maltovia describes itself as a "Socialist One Party State", in which the will of the people is exercised through the state apparatus. The way this is achieved is inspired by the principles of democratic centralism, anti-imperialism, dictatorship of the proletariat, planned economy and the ideas of ZombieLenin. The governing body, which exercises executive, legislative and judicative powers, is called the "People's Commissariat" and is de-facto a council of "commissars", which act as ministers. The power to creative, dissolve, appoint to and remove from Ministries is held by the Central Committee of the Worker's Party in Maltovia.
The following ministries exist in Maltovia
- Ministry of Agriculture
- Ministry of Construction
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Ministry of Internal Affairs
- Ministry of Industry and Trade
Economy
Maltovia follows the principles of a planned economy and socialism, and thus private property is forbidden. In praxis, this means that every citizen of Maltovia is entitled to a maximum of three double chests, which are referred to as their personal property. There are no restrictions on what materials can be stored in these chests.
Geography
The republic of maltovia is located on a medium sized island in the +,+ quadrant. The island consists mostly of a relatively flat "plains" biome, however there are small beaches at the coasts. An important thing to note is that the environment, especially the beaches are incredibly treasured in the Maltovian community, mining the sand on the beaches is considered a punishable offense. Since Maltovia is an island there are no direct bordering nations, however the nation of Rowa exists in the north, and is thus considered a neighboring nation.
International Infrastructure
At the moment Maltovia does not have any rail or tunnel connections. However plans with Dithmarschen and Xalta Moro exist. Since Maltovia is an island, travelling via the boat is currently the only way to go.
Culture
ZombieLenism
Due to a high concentration of the followers of ZombieLenin and his principles the personality cult surrounding him has a striking presence in Maltovia and especially it's government.
Weebs
The weebs, similar to the followers of ZombieLenin, exercise power in the governmental body and therefore are deemed as an influental minority group. This is also amplified through the existence of the Unorganised Weeb Union (UWU), a group that originated in Mount Augusta
