The Magadi, officially the Republic of The Magadi, is a county located in west Bahia. It is bordered by Yemet to the south and Bamvango to the west. With an estimated population of 2,261,329, it is the smallest country in Bahia in terms of population. It is also the smallest country in Bahia by area. Lake Magadi, the country's namesake, is located along its southwest border. The Some River also defines much of the country's border with Country. Buholaux is the capital and largest city. It is The Magadi's primary financial, cultural, and political center.
Located at the crossroads of Bahia and Rahelia, The Magadi has a dynamic national history and has been a part of many different empires. As part of Bahia's Cradle of Civilization, The Magadi is among the world's oldest inhabited regions. Human settlement was centered on the banks of Lake Magadi, located in the southwest of the country. It was a part of several local empires before conquest by the Irfanic empires of Rahelia. It became part of the Gaullican Empire during the Toubacterie period when it was annexed into the Ade Protectorate. After the Great War, it became a mandate of Estmere known as Mandatory Adeland. In 1946, Adeland gained independence as a constitutional monarchy. Daniel Ogola seized power in a bloodless coup in 1967. Ogola implemented a new constitution and oversaw the transition away from monarchy to republic. He ruled until 1992 when he was removed in a second coup that resulted in a gradual transition to civilian governance and democratic elections.
The Magadi's economy is dominated by farming and mining. It is among the poorest nations of the world and relies significantly on international assistance. The country is a major crossroads of various trafficking routes and struggles with illegal labor practices, such as child labor.
