Littish citizens enjoy individual and political freedom, suffrage is universal at age 18. The population of Littland has a large minority with the Malskic people, predominantly living in the southern regions of Littland. After a county reform in 2004, the Malskland Autonomous County (commonly known as "Malskland") was established, giving the minority regions greater autonomy. It is still debated by some politicians whether this was necessary, as some tensions still remain between Litts and Malsks. These have been greatly alleviated with the since the Malskic Thaw began in 2002.
