Zanzali (Shimikomwii: త్సణ్డజాలే, Tsandzale), officially the Association of Mzanzi Communities (Shimikomwii: కామ చ న్యిమతి య మత్సండ్జె, Cama cha Nyimati ya Mtsandze) , is a country in southeastern Malaio situated on the Karaihe Sea, bordering Pulau Keramat to the north and Onekawa-Nukanoa to the east. Its population of 21,753,300 is among the smallest in Malaio and concentrated on the tropical coast, with the rest of its 713,6002 area being relatively sparsely populated. The capital of Zanzali is Babamamba, while the largest city is Zanzudu. Its majority and official language is Shimikomwii, the southernmost Mwambao language.
For much of prehistory, Zanzali was occupied by Tuganani peoples, who would eventually be pushed out of the region by, or otherwise integrated in, Komontu migrants who began arriving en mass in the early 500s CE. Beginning in the 10th century CE, the area that is now Zanzali was utilized as a penal colony by the Tahamaja Empire, where criminals and dissidents from throughout the Ozeros region were sent to work mining gemstones and growing coffee and nuts alongside local Komontu tribes. The mixing of these groups gave rise to the WaMzanzi, which today are the largest group in Zanzali. This constant influx of criminal elements led to the region becoming known for its skilled mercenaries, smugglers, and pirates, who eventually became the main authorities in Zanzali after the collapse of the Tahamaja in the 1300s, leading to the rise of many pirate republics in the region. These republics came under the suzerainty of the Mutulese Yajawil of Maok'ab by the late 17th century. In 1841, the Mzanzi republics gained their independence from Maok'ab, and later in 1893 united under the organization which would evolve into the modern state.
Zanzali's political history has been defined by a unique system of rule by judges, called unamuzi, and a "big man" dynamic characterized by spectacle. Officially, the Association is a supranational intergovernmental organization of 11 associated states, with all members being legally independent, sovereign states; in practice, it is a federacy in which power is balanced between a judiciary, bureaucracy, and numerous noble clans. Zanzali is a minor power and a member of many international organizations, such as AMON, the Forum of Nations, and the Joint Space Agency. Its economy is highly developed, with a GDP per capita of $34,300, with its major industries including tourism, pharmaceutical and chemical production, finance, and entertainment. Industrial agriculture and food processing is also a major component of the economy, with coffee, seafood, tobacco. and spices (particularly vanilla) being mainstays. Despite a relatively strong economy and high HDI of .804, Zanzali is known for its high income inequality, with a GINI coefficient of 44.3. Likewise, while it ranks well in many international comparisons of quality of life, Zanzali has been criticized for its lack of human rights protections and inconsistent public services.
Etymology
The name Zanzali is derived from the Middle Shimikomwii word tsandzale (coast), which remains the native name for the country. This word was understood by Tahamajan authorities to be the native name for the region, but there is no historical evidence for its use in this context before the 13th century, records of which primarily come from Tahamajan documents. Other historical names include Zanzudu ("black coast"), Ikomwii ("bad shore"), and Waguguru (from mguguru, "stubborn, brutal"), all reflecting Tahamajan attitudes towards the area's inhabitants.
