Maucha, officially the Democratic Republic of Maucha, is a sovereign state whose territory is in northeastern Couis. Maucha is the easternmost country in the western hemisphere, occupying a total area of 419,033 km² on the eastern coast of the subcontinent of Bahia. It borders Yemet and Garambura to the west. Maucha has territorial disputes over the Ibabochia region with Yemet and the Kulo State. Maucha is the third most populated country in Bahia with a population of 30,955,202 (as of January 2020). The capital of the country is Kanyabahayadha, located at the delta of the Fedha river on the northern coast of the country. The metropolitan region of Nambabi is the largest urban area of the country and often claimed to be the legitimate Mauchian capital.

EARLY HISTORY

After the breakaway from the United Bahian Republic, Maucha fell into a civil crisis, as minorities started to revolt against the ethnic government. The main insurgence happened in the Onikhuma provinces, as they claimed that the Government favored the Watuaji and gave them no representation. In 1967, a civil war started after Watuaji President, Asani Ibori, dissolved the National Congress, trying to shut any and all uprisings against his government. Ibori’s authoritarian government and the Civil War would last until 1978, when the Onikhuma movement, supported by other minorities, overthrew Ibori’s seat. The new republic was established in 1978 and sought to open Maucha to foreign investment and private capital, but in 1980, a coup saw a communist militia group taking over the government and creating a one-party system. In 1993, the Maucha Revolution took place, as the people fought against the corrupt and authoritarian government. Later in the same year, the Democratic Republic of Maucha was established, now under a new multi-party system that focused on democracy. The first public election in the country took place in 1995, with Onikhuma President Dominic Iondela being the first democratically elected president in Maucha’s history. From then on, Maucha is considered one of the fastest growing countries in Bahia

GENERAL ECONOMIC/SOCIAL INFO

Etymology

Linguists believe that the current name Maucha (Weranian: Mäusch) is a transliteration of the native Watuakua word "Mwisho," which means "the latter" or "the end." Linguists and historians believe that the term is correlated with the perception of Maucha's geographic position by the coast with the earlier Watuakuan people's perception of the limits of the land and the edge of the world; in theory, those people believed that their land was the last land before the ocean, meaning that it was at the edge of the land.

The current name was adopted officially in 1969 when Maucha achieved independence from the United Bahian Republic. Prior to that, the nation underwent the name of the Eastern Bahian Republic since its independence from Werania, in 1950. During colonial times, however, the country was named Silberküste, which literally translates to "Silver Coast," an allusion to the metal heavily commercialized by the Watuajuans before and during the colonization period.

Modern Kingdoms

The fall of the Chisomo Dynasty of the Kingdom of Sena in 1653 marked the establishment of the Njinji-Susulu Confederacy and its hegemony in the territories south of the Iwoye River. The Confederacy succeeded in expanding their territory north of modern-day Maucha but found resistance from the Onikhuma Kingdom, another well-settled local kingdom. From the beginning of the 18th century up to 1786, both the Onikhuma Kingdom and Njinji-Sisulu Confederacy fought a series of battles in what became known as the XXXX War. Ultimately, the Onikhuma Kingdom was subjugated by Mabuti I and became a part of the Confederacy. Despite the growing conflicts down in the Gonda Delta against the Gaullicans, the Confederacy kept on pushing their forces up to the Watuajuan coast.

By the end of the 18th century, the Watuajuan Confederation had become an extremely well-organized and well-developed State, with many international merchants arriving for their abundant silver. The Watuajuan Confederation dominated the delta of the Fedha River and extended its area to the northernmost part of modern-day’s Maucha’s panhandle. Such wealth and stability attracted Weranian missions, who looked forward to commercializing silver with the Watuajuan. In 1809, the Battle of Yalansa put the Njinji-Sisulu Confederacy on the edge after an easy victory from the Watuajuan forces. After a few years of backing off, the Njinji-Sisulu came back for a new attempt, this time succeeding and taking over the cities of Yalansa in 1829, and Bangoli in 1832, and exposing the Watuajuan capital city of Kanyabahayadha to the invaders. Noticing the clear disadvantage, the Watuajuan signed the Military Contract of 1835, which allowed the Weranian military to have jurisdiction over the Watuajuan land. This allowed Weranians to assist in the Watuajuan resistance against the Njinji-Sisulu and push back the invasion by reconquesting Bangoli in 1838 and Yalansa in 1840.

The Watuajuan Confederation kept on pushing the Njinji-Sisulu Confederacy back south, as they slowly took over their territory. By 1861, all former Kingdoms under the Njini-Sisulu north of the Iwoye River were freed and admitted into the Watuajuan Confederacy. In 1865, Nambabi was surrounded and sieged. The Sisulu Capital finally succumbed in 1869. The Watuajuan Confederacy, then renamed the Mwisho Empire, remained independent until 1876 when it became an official colony of Werania.

Government & Politics

Administrative Divisions

According to Mauchan Constitution of 19XX, the federation is formed by 24 states, one autonomous region, one Federal District, and one federal territory. The federal territory of Harara is the only administrative division that does not govern itself, as the federal government has total sovereignty over it. The Mauchan States have a great degree of freedom, though most of the judicial process is determined and enforced by the federal government. The Autonomous State of the Red Nation is the only administrative division in Maucha with higher judicial freedom. Currently, the State of Ibabochia is the only federal State undergoing the process of becoming an Autonomous State, but this issue has shown to be controversial as it depends directly on the outcomes in the Yemeti conflict. Nambabi and Garastadt together have applied for statehood in 2018 and the elevation of the megalopolis into a State is still under discussion in the National Congress.

The states are divided into 5 unoficial regions determined by merely geographical similarity. No government is responsible for the management of the regions and the functionality of it is for mere statistical purposes, as well as making it easy to share federal funds with the administrative divisions.

Each State is further down divided into municipalities that usually consists of one city as being the seat of the municipality. The municipalities are governed by mayors and unicameral legislatures which are all elected by the population every 4 years. There are a total of #### municipalities in Maucha. Similar to the 5 federal regions, the states are also further divided into meso-regions, which are formed by municipalities based on solely geographic similarities.
