The Kingdom of Mabifia (Ndjarendie: Hooreejiteeri ko Mawbifiya, Gaullican: Houregerie de Mabifie), most commonly referred to as Mabifia, is a sovereign state in southern and western Bahia. It borders Zorasan to the west, QQ1 to the North and Rwizikuru to the east. It has a population of nearly 48 million, over 9 million of whom live in the capital of Ainde. It is divided into sixteen Karanates and twelve departments, which are futher divided into several types of administrative division.
Mabifia has been a site of continuous human inhabitation since the early neolithic era, with archaeological records attesting to development within the Gabima river basin from this time. Southern Mabifia, with its location on the southern coast of Bahia, was an early adopter of Sâre system and the site of several key trading cities in the classical era. However, it was not until the spread of Irfan into the region and the Bahian Consolidation that Mabifia attained its prominence. The western regions of Mabifia, which are covered by the Fersi desert, saw the rise of the Founagé Dominion of Heaven. This was the first of the Bahian Jihad states which triggered the consolidation and growth of the Hourege system. These states managed to conquer almost all of the modern day borders by the 13th century, with the remaining territory being held by the veRwizi empire in the south-east and Kingdom of Kambu in the north. With the end of the golden age and Bahian collapse, Mabifia was annexed by the Gaullican empire. However, this control was never fully successful at submitting the Ndjarendie warbands which roamed the central harmattan plains despite their pacification in 1927 under the national functionalists and this meant that traditional Karanes still wielded large amounts of power. Independence was won following the transfer of the land to Estmere, but the independence movement was highly divided between Bahian Socialists led by Fuad Onika and the traditionalist Karanes. The first Mabifian civil war soon broke out, with the socialists winning power thanks to foreign backing. An authoritarian state was soon established, with collectivist policies which aimed to restore an idealised version of the Sâre and persecution of traditional authorities. This new regime began to falter in the seventies, as economic action slowed down in the wake of the war with Rwizikuru. The traditional karanes, whose respect in the eyes of the populace had grown as the socialist regime lost relevance, soon called for an uprising, finding an unlikely ally in the student democratic activists in the more developed cities. This started a second civil war, which raged between 1973 and 1978 and destroyed much of the nation's infrastructure. The rebels won, with a new state set up that established a democratic state while legally enshrining the positions of the Karanes in the state.
In the modern era, Mabifia is a regional power. Its elective monarchy, while officially a figurehead, maintains major influence over society, while the democratic system is marrred by accusations of corruption and a lack of transparency. Its economy is highly underdeveloped, owing mainly to corruption and regionalism which have decreased from the potential natural wealth of Mabifia. Much of the population is dependent on subsistence farming, with food insecurity rated as the highest in the world and food supplies further threatened by desertification. In international affairs, Mabifia is a member of the Congress of Bahian States and pursues close relations with its Bahian neighbours, but is highly dependent on Zorasan economically and politically.
