== Etymology == | |||
New Madrigal (''Novu Madrughjale'') was named after [[Old Madrigal|Madrigal]], the country which Giolzi Allozu and the majority of members of the original Allozu Expedition originated from. The word ''Madrughjale'' derives from the {{wp|Latin language|Aquillian}} word [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/matricalis mātricālis], "of or pertaining to the womb or matrix". Several alternatives were considered in naming the region, such as Solidarity, Allozuland, and {{wp|Terra Australis|Australia}}. The country is sometimes colloquially referred to as Tziaogiule, as it is the only sovereign entity on the continent, but this name is rarely, if ever, used in an official capacity. | |||
Since the, as of yet unexplained, disappearance of Madrigal, the mother country is academically referred to as "Old Madrigal" and New Madrigal can typically be referred to with or without the "New" in most settings, although the official name remains "New Madrigal". Citizens of New Madrigal are sometimes informally referred to as "Penguins" or "''Pinguinus''", due to the country's southerly, polar geography and wildlife. | |||

New Madrigal (/mə.driˈɡɑːl/ ma-dri-gahl; Madrigese: Novu Madrughjale), officially the Vanguard Territories of New Madrigal (Madrigese: Tirrituali d'Avanguardia di Novu Madrughjale), is a country comprising the entirety of the continent of Tziaogiule and surrounding archipelagoes in the Antarctic. Its population of 9,458,310 is spread out across 4,686,000 square kilometers (1,809,000 mi2) of boreal forest, rocky tundra, and icecaps, resulting in an exceptionally low population density of just 2 people per square kilometer. Most of the population is concentrated in dense, highly urbanized coastal cities, including the capital of Impresa and country's largest city, Muntinedu. Other major cities include Armitaggio, Cadaz, Ciogotti, Relia, and Carcosa.

Today, New Madrigal has a high standard of living fueled by automation and exports of a range of natural resources. Its planned economy provides ample social benefits and the country scores well in international indexes of education, healthcare, income equality, and sustainability, but is often criticized for authoritarian and hawkish policies. General Secretary Adelàsia Varenze leads the Revolutionary Communist Party, and thus the New Madrigese government. New Madrigal is divided into 13 zones, which are governed by local councils that derive their authority from the central government.
Etymology
New Madrigal (Novu Madrughjale) was named after Madrigal, the country which Giolzi Allozu and the majority of members of the original Allozu Expedition originated from. The word Madrughjale derives from the Aquillian word mātricālis, "of or pertaining to the womb or matrix". Several alternatives were considered in naming the region, such as Solidarity, Allozuland, and Australia. The country is sometimes colloquially referred to as Tziaogiule, as it is the only sovereign entity on the continent, but this name is rarely, if ever, used in an official capacity.
Since the, as of yet unexplained, disappearance of Madrigal, the mother country is academically referred to as "Old Madrigal" and New Madrigal can typically be referred to with or without the "New" in most settings, although the official name remains "New Madrigal". Citizens of New Madrigal are sometimes informally referred to as "Penguins" or "Pinguinus", due to the country's southerly, polar geography and wildlife.
Geography
A colony of penguins on the island of Pocu Gioia.
Lake Fuci in the Zone of Règiallu, in summertime.
Cliffs on the coast of Durmendu.
The extremely arid Livantine Desert occupies much of the eastern coast.
The Castaigne Mountains span much of central and eastern Tziaogiule, with some peaks exceeding 8000 meters.
