'''Mallia''', officially the '''Mallia'''; is a federal republic located in the southern region of Aeruvia. The country is divided into 14 provinces; it borders [[Terryfe]] to the east, [[Ịkẹvẹ]] to the northeast and [[Traule]] to the east. It shares additional maritime borders with [[Cring]].

== History ==
Mallia was formerly part of the [[Mâlbondə]], a federeral republic also containing Ịkẹvẹ and Terryfe. It dissolved on 19 Laumánt 2187, leading to its own reastablishment as the nation of Mallia.

Prior to its dissolution on 19 Laumánt 2187, Mallia was part of the [[Mâlbondə]] alongside Ịkẹvẹ and Terryfe (which formed its own region).

== Geography ==
Mallia is seperated from Terryfe via the Hauwiegən {{Mallian|hæwígən}} (Terryfins: Auwiehən {{Mallian|æwíhən}}) mountain range.

In the north of Mallia flows the Schallə {{Mallian|sxallə}}, a major waterway that flows through the heart of the country. Both Euveldə and Wydcant are located along the river. The biggest tributary of the Schallə is the Massə {{Mallian|massə}}.

=== Administrative Divisions ===
Mallia is divided into 14 provinces, each of which are divided into a number of municipalities.

Mallia also unofficially consists of two regions, Cempfebant {{Mallian|kempfəbant}} and Lendeberch {{Mallian|lendəberx}}, remnants of the former Malbond union with Ịkẹvẹ and Terryfe.

== Government and Politics ==
Mallia operates as a parliamentary republic with a federal structure. The government is divided into three branches: legislative, judicial, and executive. The legislative capital is Wydcant, while the judicial and executive functions are centered in Euveldə.

=== Elections ===
The 771 members of the Greutmachəl {{Mallian|grøtmaxəl}} (Lower Chamber) are elected to three year terms.
Of those, 585 are elected in 14 multi-member constituencies, being the 14 provinces. Those geographical seats are allocated using the Sainte-Laguë method, with an electoral threshold of 5% per constituency. Apportionment of seats is done every five years in accordance with population data.

The other 186 members are elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list, proportional representation, nationwide. The threshold of these seets are about 0.54% (1/186 of the total vote).
