Costa Mejis (Mejian: Mejian Coast), officially the Kingdom of Costa Mejis (Mejian: Reino de Costa Mejis) is a sovereign nation located on the western coast of Ourika, as well as possessing some territory located within the <name> Ocean. Costa Mejis has a offical population of 44,876,221 as of 2015, making it the X largest nation by populace in western Ourika, and X in the world by population. It shares no maritime border with any nation, and is bordered to the north, south and east by unincorporated territory. Its non-contiguous territory, the largest of which is the island of Gandra, is bordered to the north by the Straits of <Name>, to the east by the Bay of Kings (Mejian: Bahía de Reyes), and to the west and south by the <name> Ocean. It's capital city is Navarri, located within the nation's continental territory, though it's largest city, Sagaró, is located on Gandra.

Costa Mejis is an unitary state governed by a absolute primogeniture absolute monarchy where the monarch holds supreme autocratic authority over the government and the people. The nation's current monarch, Adelardo IX, was crowned during a ceremony in Navarri August 19, 1989. The King is supported and advised by a Royal Council who also serve as the directors of the governments various departments. Councilmen are appointed by the monarch and serve until dismissed or retirement.

Costa Mejis does not practice any form of secularism and the <Catholic stand in> Church is extremely prevalent in both the culture and government of Costa Mejis. It is a major developed country and a high income country, as well as a popular vacation destination for people traveling abroad. As such, the Costa Mejian economy is mainly based on a well-developed service sector, especially commerce, tourism, and trading. Several free ports, both on the mainland and on the island of Gandra, are maintained to encourage economic activity. While located geographically within the country, they essentially exist outside its borders for tax purposes. The largest of these special economic zones is the free port located in Sagaró

Geography

Flora and fauna

Costa Mejis' tropical environment supports an abundant variety of plant life. Forests dominate, interrupted in places by grasslands, scrub, and crops. Although nearly half of the nation remains heavily forested, deforestation is a continuing threat to the rain-drenched woodlands. Tree cover has been reduced by more than 50 percent since the 1940's, mostly due to logging and development ventures for the service and tourism industry. Subsistence farming, widely practiced from the western and southern jungles to the eastern grasslands, consists largely of corn, bean, and tuber plots. Mangrove swamps occur along parts of both the continental and island coasts, with banana plantations occupying several river deltas.

Climate

The climate of Costa Mejis is best described as tropical with year-around temperatures rarely dropping below 18 °C (64 °F). The nation has only two truly definable seasons: a wet season and a dry season. The wet season generally runs from November to March, while the dry season usually spans the May to September time frame. During the dry season, temperatures may range from 24 °C (75.2 °F) in the morning to no more than a maximum of 30 °C (86.0 °F) by late afternoon, and it is extremely rare that the temperature ever exceeds 32 °C (89 °F).

Government

Right of succession

Though the right of succession within Cotsa Mejis is absolute primogeniture in nature, meaning that the eldest biological decedent of the reigning monarch, regardless of gender, will assume the throne, titles, honors and materials of the reigning sovereign unpin their death of abdication. The system is also based on the proximity of blood, meaning that the person with the closest blood relationship to the monarch would be considered the heir apparent. This system naturally favors offspring, then blood relatives over spouses related to the reigning monarch by marital ties. There is also a focus on attempting to pick the youngest candidate available to ensure there are no rapid transitions of power. This is why the oldest child of the monarch is preferred over their consort. The adage used to describe the Costa Mejis right of succession is Sangre Antes del Matrimonio, Juventud antes de la Edad, or "Blood Before Marriage, Youth Before Age"

The only stipulation is that the eldest child must be at least 16 years of age. If they are not, a custodian may be chosen until the heir apparent is of age to rule. Note that this is not a law or requirement, but a tradition.

The right of succession within Costa Mejis is as follows. Note that this also serves as the order of precedence for the Mejian Royal Family
