Alaoyi, officially the Federative Republic of Alaoyi (FRA), is the southernmost country in Galia. It is surrounded to the south and east by a vast coastline that stretches along the Achrinian Ocean, to the north by the neighbouring country of Naossia; to the west by unorganized Galian citystates; and to the very northwest the Great Galian Sea. The country is mostly cold with terrain ranging from subpolar forests on the west coast to steppes in the east. With over 109 million people, Alaoyi is one of the largest countries on Manala. The capital is located in the city of Seaside, which lies along the Great Galian Sea coastline. The largest city is Biyonummiri in the eastern interior.

About 80% of the population are "pales", most of whom belong to the Onslander and Diash groups. A signifigant Manchan population exists in the northwest with Inith populations existing to the west of the country. Other Cetanni groups inhabit the northeast of the country. The remaining population mostly consists of a large Ndibeanyan community, primarily centered along the northwest and central regions of the country. According to the 2020 census, the two most spoken first languages are Onslander (39%) and Ndibeanyan (21.8%). About 25% of Alaoyians speak Diash at home. Much of the population is, in addition to their native languages, somewhat fluent in Onslander, which commonly serves as a commerical and public language across the other language groups, a change from when Ndibeanyan was more common. Fluvan is also not uncommon.

The country first began as a set of colonial possessions belonging to Alanna at the midway point of the 18th century. After several wars of conquest Onsland and the various Diash tribes fell under Alannan control by 1875. In 1921, the various possessions were unified under the control of a viceroy, who served as governor of the country as a whole. During the First Great War Alaoyian colonies fought alongside Alanna, mostly against the expanionist and newly independent Inglaterrans. However, tensions between the two led to war during the Third Great War on the Galian front. During the Second Great War, the Alaoyian colonies declared independence due to infighting with Alanna and fought a brief conflict. However, the majority of Alaoyian combat was against Inglaterra and alongside Antarctic and Niagaran troops. After the Second Great War ended, Alaoyi and Inglaterra fought a cold war and competed for regional power. After the Third Great War, Alaoyi became a much stronger regional power, but tensions began in the 2010s with Inglaterra once more.

Alaoyi, from 1951 to 1989, was governed under a complex set of rules and laws regarding race relations, known as ewezuga. Under ewezuga the colonial (and minority) Alannans, chiefly Ndibeanyans, governed the country and had a high standard of living comparable to a first world nation. However, the segregated pale groups were often mistreated and suffered from a high rate of poverty. The ewezuga system was abolished by President Agabe in 1987 after a long and sometimes violent movement by the Liberation Party with free elections being held in 1989. Since 1989, all major groups have been represented in the government.

Alaoyi is generally considered a regional power, dominating most of southern Galia. It is considered a developing country but great strides have been made in quality of life, governmental transparency, and income. However, severe inequality, crime, and poverty remain widespred. Just under two thirds of the country is dry desert conditions, either hot or cold, or tundra. The remaining 36.5% is mostly a humid continental climate and 76 million of Alaoyi's 110 million live in just 36.5% of the land. In particular, the northwest of Alaoyi has nearly 22 million people in one of the most densely populated areas on Manala.

Politics

Alaoyi is a federal, presidential, representative democratic republic. Federal legislative power is vested in the Alaoyian Federal Parliament consisting of the Senate and the National Council, which together form the legislative body. The Senate is elected through direct elections using the mixed-member proportional representation system. The members of the National Council represents the provinces, free cities, and regions of Alaoyi. The Alaoyian political system operates under a framework laid out in the 1987 constitution. Amendments generally require a two-thirds majority of both the Senate and the National Council; the fundamental principles of the constitution, as expressed in the articles guaranteeing human dignity, the separation of powers, the federal structure, and the rule of law, are valid in perpetuity.

The president, currently Adriaan Breytenbach, is the head of state and government. He is elected by the people through a two round system. The second-highest official in the Alaoyian order of precedence is the prime minister, who is appointed by the president and responsible for chairing the meetings of the cabinet in the president's absent and is the successor to the president in the event of his death. The third-highest official and the chair of the Senate is the Speaker, who is elected by the Senate by the party or coalition with the most seats in the Senate.

Since 1987, the party system has been dominated by the Centrist Party and National PArty. So far every President has been a member of one of these parties and one of these parties was the major partner in any governing coalition. Since 1999, the democratic socialist party Socialist Party has been a staple in the Senate, though they have never been able to be a major partner in a coalition. In the 2019 Alaoyian federal election, ethnic nationalist parties made up over 10% of the vote for the same time.

Federal Entities

Alaoyi is an asymmetric federation of 67 federal entities, divided into 24 provinces, 18 counties, 11 districts, 6 federal cities, 4 autonomous republics, 2 autonomous communities, and 1 ethnic commonwealth. All federal entities are considered identical in terms of representation on the National Council, but differ in their levels of autonomy.

Federal Entities	Governance
24 Provinces	The most common type of federal subject with a governor and locally elected legislature. Provinces tend to cover majority-Onslander areas.
19 Counties	For all intents and purposes, counties are identical to provinces but in Diash-speaking areas. The title of "county" is historic, referring to the Diash royalty (counts) that ruled the area before being conquered by Alanna.
13 Districts	For all intents and purposes, districts are identical to provinces and counties but in Ndibeanyan-speaking areas. The title of "district" comes from the subdivisions of Imperial Alanna and came over to what is now Alaoyi with the colonists.
6 Federal Cities	Major cities that function as separate regions.
2 Autonomous Republics	Autonomous areas consisting of an ethnic minority, there are currently two; the Marchan and Inith Autonomous Republics.
2 Autonomous Communities	The only autonomous communities are the Ikhetese and Vanhish.
1 National Commonwealth	Effectively Autonomous Republics, the only national commonwalth is Greater Cetan.
