History

During it's history the United Kingdom of Malgrave has faced and survived several crisis, challenges and betrayals that have shaped the future and current make-up of Malgravean society, culture and politics the most notable of these being the enforced isolationism of the country during the period of 1945-2000 and the distrust of foreigner powers some still hold to this day.
Geography
Political Geography
The United Kingdom of Malgrave is one of the smallest countries of the Mystria region, located on an extremely large island the country is only surrounded by one other country (Rohane Alista)
Climate and landscape
Malgrave is known for it's extremely diverse climate which differs wildly within the country, the Northern region of the country is famous for it's vast snow covered pinetree forests and its treacherous mountains which have claimed the life of many climbers and pilots during the years, these mountains have also turned the region into a hub for national and international tourists wishing to snow down or attempt to accept the challenge of climbing the dangerous peaks.
The South and the West of the country have similar climates, both being temperate during the winter and extremely hot during the summer time which makes it extremely popular for national tourists from colder regions in the country who visit during the summer in order to soak up some sun or during the winter in order to escape the worst of the cold, the landscape of the region is extremely low especially compared to the North of the country with no technical mountains being recorded in both regions.
Politics
Politics in the United Kingdom of Malgrave is organised into five distinguishable sectors all who hold varying amounts of power and influence on the country and its internal and external affairs, these are the Paragon Monarch, the Prime Ministers office, the Cabinet and the Lower and Upper Chamber.
Lower Chamber
The Lower Chamber or Chamber of Representatives consists of elected representatives or MoCR (Member of the Chamber of Representatives). The Lower Chamber is tasked with debating and voting on legislative matters, whether they come from the government, private politicians or the official/unofficial opposition, with money bills such as the budget originating in the Lower House. Elections for the Chamber of Representative are held every five years to coincide with the general election, with each province electing a set number of MoCRs.
Upper Chamber
The Upper Chamber or the Chamber of Supervisors consists of elected representatives or MoCs (Member of the Chamber of Supervision). Although The Upper Chamber can put forward its own legislation its primary task is providing legislative oversight to the bills put forward by the Lower Chamber. Elections for the Chamber of Supervisors are held every three years, with each region electing 3 MoCs.
Prime Ministers Office
The Prime Minister is tasked with overseeing the affairs of government, as they must maintain the confidence of the Lower Chamber they are typically a representative from this chamber, however, technically they can be from the Upper Chamber as well. The Prime Minister oversees the selection and running of Cabinet, and so sets the agenda that the government puts before the Lower Chamber.
Cabinet
Cabinet is appointed and overseen by the Prime Minister, each overall cabinet member is tasked with running their respective department in conjunction with the civil service, including writing legislation to put before the Lower Chamber.
Paragon Monarch
The Paragon Monarch maintains ceremonial power in the Malgravean system of government, with the Paragon Monarch filling the senior role in the ceremony that dissolves the Lower and Upper Chamber prior to their election cycles. The Prime Minister also meets with the Paragon Monarch prior to the establishment of a new government, however, this is just a ceremonial meeting and serves no real official purpose. The Paragon Monarch also has some ceremonial control over the Malgravean Armed Forces, with the Paragon Monarch typically engaging in military service with the Royal Guard and overseeing annual armed forces ceremonies.
