Prei Meas is a medium sized Constitutional Monarchy situated at -55° West, and 0° North. The Capital and largest city is Tikrongmeas literally meaning "City of Gold" in the local language. Everything isn't all golden in Prei Meas though as in the western Phau and Minean regions there are separatist movements causing instability and and estimated 500 died in the fighting there since 2018 not including the recent PLG conflict and spillovers into and from the Azureden conflict.

History

WIP summary The earliest people in Prei Meas lived there in 5000 BCE. Through the medieval Period the 1st Nokor only hugged the coast and became rich from the spice and gold trade. It then subjugated the Phnom tribes and the Preimean empire was formed after subjegations of the Phau and Minean people and crucial parts of the modern Cantonese river delta controlling trade through that very important strait. This would not last as the Empire's vicious lust for conquest alienated trade and the Prei Meas Empire slowly declined. This lasted until the 1890s when Prei Meas was colonized by Neuewland and after a brief guerrilla war Prei Meas gained independence again.

Politics

The political landscape of Prei Meas is as diverse as the people. There are parties ranging from centrist to moderate left and right and religious parties. Two major factors influencing Prei Meas politics is the Phau Conflict, and the conflict in Azureden both taking place in the turbulent Eastern half of the country. In the west the Nokor is more populated by ethnic Aschar people and ethnic Preimean people. In a relatively stable and rich part of the country dotted with heavily populated cities with beautiful scenery and large industry where the country makes most of its income and where most of the country lives. In the East there is a deep contrast between the north populated by Ethic Phnom people who are typically loyal to the central government and work with it in combating insurgents. The south is inhabited jointly by ethnic Cantonese people and Preimean people. The Center of the East is the most unstable part of the country. It is the region inhabited by ethnic Azureden people, Phau people, and Minean people. The Phau and Minean regions are the most densely forested parts of the country and one of the poorest regions of the country. Here there are constant conflicts between the central government and Phau and Minean separatists and insurgents who wage a brutal guerrilla war.
