The Allied Clans of Molenston, commonly referred to as Molenston (pronounced /rdivəs/), is a democracy located in Central Ziamban. It is a large-sized country with a population of around 54 million people, most of which live in the country's five provinces. Molenston is bordered to the South by The Bohin

The country's capital is Molenston City, which is also its largest city. It's second largest city is Limpopo, with the third largest city being Bukumbura.


Molenston is a member of the United Sunalayan Assembly. It is also a founding member of the International Anti-Terror Association, Imperial Formations Treaty and a member of the Rhodeve Commonwealth. Its currency is the Molen.

Molenston has a free market economy, and with a strong GDP per capita for Ziambani nations. It is one of the 10 largest economies in Ziamban, and is ranked Xth in the human development index with a very high standard of living.

Etymology

The name Molenston originates from the largest tribe in the region; the Malesti tribe.

Demographics

The population of Molenston, based off of Government of Molenston Surveys and national data statistics from Molsource, the Commonwealth Information Initiative and the Ziambani Tribal Analytics Organization is estimated to be between 54,005,642 and 54,517,156 people. Most place the total to be at 54,217,156 which represents official metrics used in most databases worldwide. This discrepancy comes from a lack of cohesion among Molenston's data sourcing metrics, as well as a sizable migratory population, which moves over the course of multiple years from Molenston to the neighbouring nation of The Bohin and back.

Molenston's people are divided up into 122 officially documented tribes as well as a sizable western minority population, mainly from Rhodevus, Aznazia and Northern Ventismar.

Official consensus places the Malesti tribe as the largest in the nation with 35% of Molenstoni people in this group. Westerners comprise 10% with Kuum (7%), Buli (4%), Bagan (3%), Domeshi (3%), Ra (2%), Mbati (2%), Nuduli (1.5%) Qafa (1%) and Nanti (0.15%) filling out the majority of the larger tribal groups in the region. The remaining 31.5% of the population consists of the other 112 tribes, with the Spedi people being the smallest, being comprised of only 24 members.

Language

The official language of Molenston is English. It is the only language taught in all primary schools, and almost all business is done in English. The most spoken language however on a day to day basis in Maleti, spoken by 54% of all Molenstoni people.

Molenston is primarily a Christian nation, which accounts for 74% of the population. The largest Christian demographic in Molenston is Catholicism, accounting for 66% of the population. The remaining practitioners of Christianity are subdivided into other sects with a large portion comprising of those with mixed tribal-Christian beliefs which go under the broader umbrella of Christianity, but is more specifically known as Kurdu in Molenston. 'Kurdu' meaning 'son of the saviour' in Malesti.

Islam comprises the second largest religion in Molenston with nearly 12 million followers.

While religion does not play a significant role in Molenstoni society, it has ingrained itself in Molenstoni culture, mixing with tribal beliefs and structures to take on enumerable different meanings depending on tribe and region of Molenston.

Health

Education

Primary education in Molenston is mandatory. Public schools are funded by the government for people until the conclusion of grade 9. Secondary education, often considered grades 10 through 12 is heavily subsidized and has been since the 1970s in order to continue promoting further education in the nation. While 85% of the population has completed or enrolled in primary education, secondary education sees a drop-off of about 35%. Tertiary education, or university sees only a 33.72% enrollment rate. However, it should be noted that this is an increase since 1990 of 25% and that 72.13% of those who complete secondary education will continue on to tertiary schooling.

The Molenstoni government, along with support from its allies, primarily Rhodevus, have established further education programs to promote continuing education, which include subsidizing of secondary schools as well as grants for universities to accept larger numbers of students.

There are 27 universities (11 public, 16 private) in Molenston and 15 university colleges (4 public, 11 private) which are regulated by the Molenstoni Commission for universities.

With the Rhodeve Collapse, the Malesti territory was divided into Aznazian Malesti and Rhodeve Malesti. Aznazian Malesti contained the northern region, along with the majority of strategic reserves including the majority of the colony's coal and iron mines. The southern region was known as Rhodeve Malesti. While controlled by Rhodevus, it was still under the de facto control by the Aznazian government and was still considered Aznazian territory, though ruled indirectly through Rhodevus.

This system of dual colonies was established in order to appease Rhodeve settlers in the region as well as the many often conflicting tribes which make up the region. The Rhodeve controlled southern Malesti was along the border with the newly established nation of The Bohin, which would continue to lead raids into Malesti for the rest of the 20th century.


Independence

On the 5 August, 1920 the Charter for an Independent Molenston was signed into law by the United Sovereign Kingdoms of Rhodevus's parliament. Two days later, the first Molenstoni Constitution was signed by the five high chieftains, uniting the clans and the people of the colony of Malesta into the Allied Clans of Molenston.

Politics

Parliament

Molenston is a Hybrid-Parliamentary Democracy. It possesses three parts: the monarch, represented by a viceroy; the governor general, an elected lower house known as the House of Commons, and an unelected upper house known as the Senate of Clans. By constitutional convention, the House of Commons is dominant, with the Senate of Clans and monarch rarely opposing its will. The Senate reviews legislation from a less partisan standpoint and the monarch or viceroy provides royal assent to make bills into law.

Military

The United Molenston Army is split into three service branches Mashujaa wa Ardhi (Land Forces), Mashujaa wa Maji (Naval Forces) and Mashujaa wa Wanyama (Natural Reserve Forces). The Mashujaa wa Ardhi, which directly translates to 'Land Warriors' are tasked with guarding the nation's land borders from external threats. The Mashujaa wa Maji or 'Water Warriors' are the naval forces of Molenston and guard the nation's naval borders. The Mashujaa wa Wanyama are a specialized branch of the military tasked with guarding the nation's numerous natural reserves from illegal poaching and hunting.

Molenston's armed forces are all volunteer based, except in times of war on Molenstoni soil in whcih case conscription can be mandated for everyone between the ages of 18-25.

Economy

Transport and infrastructure

The Molenston Transportation Initiative is in charge of the upkeep, maintenance and improvement of the 86,472 kilometres (53,731 mi) of roadways in the country. 52,823 kilometres of road are classified as unpaved or in need of repair. There are two major highways which connect the country; the Muktu National Highway, which connects Molenston City to Nelspruit through Lusaka and Limpopo, and the Trans-Molenston Highway; which connects Nelspruit to Port Ubbeval. Muktu National traverses the country North to South, with the Trans-Molenston traversing the nation East to West.

Major ports such as Port Escapade and Port Wilhelm are connected to the rest of the country with unpaved roads and rail. There are only 1,025 kilometres of railway in Tanzania, used to connect the ports with each other. Most major shipments are done via ship, air or truck. 850 million NSD has been given to the Molenston Transportation Initiative to develop Molenston's railroad system with the hopes to link every major city in the nation with the country's multiple ports via rail.

There are two international Airports in the country; Lusaka International and the largest airport, Beke Btumbo International in Molenston City.

Energy

About 85% of the total primary energy supply in Molenston comes from biomass (mainly firewood and charcoal), while other energy sources include petroleum (9%), electricity (4.5%), and other renewable energy sources (1.2%). Currently (2016), Molenston's total power installed capacity is 1,357.69 MW composed of hydro 566.79 MW (42%), natural gas 607 MW (45%) and liquid fuel 173.40 MW (13%).

The traditional dependence on hydropower combined with the droughts that are affecting the country, resulted in power supply shortages. The generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Molenston, is channeled through MOLESCO, which is fully owned by the government and is responsible for 98% of the electricity produced in the country.

Water

Molenston retains control of 75% of the Bauer reservoir, which is filled by the Sivier River from Lake ____. It is the only source of above-ground natural water in the country. There is however a great deal of rainwater which falls during the wet season across a large portion of the country not in the Wukund Desert.

While water services remain underdeveloped, the National Water and Sanitation Services (NWSS), a state-owned company run along commercial lines has been improving and expanding water infrastructure across the country. In 2017, at least 50% had access to "at least basic" water; 79% and 37% of urban and rural areas, respectively. This is a drastic improvement since the 1980s, in which less than 30% had access to basic drinking water.
