The country's wealth comes largely from the industrial and tourism sectors, with limited contributions from fishing and services. International cooperation with Orioni represents a large share of the country's domestic product. Mekabiri is part of several international and intergovernmental institutions, including the [[Assembled Nations]] and [[Entente of Oriental States]] as well as being a founding member of the [[Oriental Association for Regional Cooperation]] (OARC).

==Etymology==
== Etymology ==


The name of Mekabiri is an {{wp|exonym}}, originating as the [[Oharic]] word ''Mek’abiri'' (መቃብር, "grave"). This name is a reference to the relative position of where the Sun sets or "goes to die" when viewed from [[Orioni]]. During the [[#Colonial period|colonial period]] (1349-1822) the country was called [[#Colonial period|Birlini]]. Other names have also been used, for example ''Mi'irabi'' ("west"), a term which applies to both Mekabiri and neighbouring [[Miiros]]. The frequent misspelling ''Merikebi'' ("ship" or "vessel") is a reference to the many ships that once sailed back and forth between Mekabiri and Orioni. Late [[Aroma]]n historical sources have come to associate Mekabiri's hot and unforgiving climate with the ''{{wp|macabre}}'', a place described as "having the quality of having a grim or ghastly atmosphere".{{citation needed}}

Oharic is widely spoken as a first language by millions in the coastal cities. However, Oharic becomes more of a lingua franca among the rural and interior populations, where a variety of Shakyan languages are spoken as a first language.

Mekabiri, officially the State of Mekabiri and internally known as Mek'abiri, is a sovereign state in Eastern Europa on Eurth. It is situated on the western shore of the Byzantine Sea and the northern shore of the Azure Sea. The country is bordered by Mahana to the north, Tamurin and Orioni in the east, and Miiros in the southwest. Piri is the capital and Mi‘irabi is the largest city; other major cities include Mazqabr and Mek’idesi. Mekabiri is approximately 522,586 km2 (201,772 sq mi) in size, without the territorial waters. The country is home to 9,149,522 inhabitants.

Mekabiri is a bicameral unitary presidential republic. The country's head of state is president Rahaēli Sērafīmi, supported by his Vice President Richard Haller. The territory that is now Mekabiri was first settled in prehistoric times. From the 14th century, it was a colony of Orioni until 1822 when the country gained its independence as a republic. Culturally, Mekabiri is still considered part of the Orinese diaspora.

The country's wealth comes largely from the industrial and tourism sectors, with limited contributions from fishing and services. International cooperation with Orioni represents a large share of the country's domestic product. Mekabiri is part of several international and intergovernmental institutions, including the Assembled Nations and Entente of Oriental States, as well as being a founding member of the Oriental Association for Regional Cooperation.

Etymology

The name of Mekabiri is an exonym, originating as the Oharic word Mek’abiri (መቃብር, "grave"). This name is a reference to the relative position of where the Sun sets or "goes to die" when viewed from Orioni. During the colonial period (1349-1822) the country was called Birlini. Other names have also been used, for example Mi'irabi ("west"), a term which applies to both Mekabiri and neighbouring Miiros. The frequent misspelling Merikebi ("ship" or "vessel") is a reference to the many ships that once sailed back and forth between Mekabiri and Orioni. Late Aroman historical sources have come to associate Mekabiri's hot and unforgiving climate with the macabre, a place described as "having the quality of having a grim or ghastly atmosphere".[citation needed]

Oharic is widely spoken as a first language by millions in the coastal cities. However, Oharic becomes more of a lingua franca among the rural and interior populations, where a variety of Shakyan languages are spoken as a first language. Mekabiri is generally known as "Dižgang" by the Shakyan people.

Mekabiri is a unitary presidential republic with a multi-party political system. The country is divided into 7 provinces and the Capital district. These administrative divisions were updated several times since independence. There is a clear separation of powers. Executive power is exercised by the government of President Rahaēli Sērafīmi, the country's head of state, supported by his Vice President Richard Haller. Legislative power is vested in the bicameral National Congress. The Càmara dos Deputados has 100 members, directly elected by the people, which makes law projects and propositions. The Càmara dos Senadores has 100 members, also elected by the people, which vote for or against the law projects made by the Deputados.[7]

Foreign relations

Mekabiri is a member of the Assembled Nations, the Entente of Oriental States, and previously also the Europan Commercial Alliance. The military unpredictability of Mantella is widely considered as the biggest wildcard in Amutian politics. As the peace process drags on, EOS has implied the possibility of a pre-emptive intervention.[citation needed] If it does happen, it will be the most significant regional event in Amutia in recent years. The Mekabirian armed forces not prepared to deal with the downstream consequences of such a development. The AN maintains a small observer force along the northwestern border, where numerous Mekabirian troops are stationed.

Military

The military of Mekabiri consists of the Mebakirian National Army (MNP), the Mebakiri National Navy (MNN), and the Mebakiri Air Force (MAF). Military service is compulsory for men aged 19–29, for a total of 10 months. The Army includes two armoured and two mechanised divisions. Mekabiri also recruit large amounts of the skilled Durkha warriors of Mahana, the Mekabiri Army Durkhas. Most of Mekabiri's weapons are imported from Miiros. Mekabiri operates a "green-water navy" (near to shore) that is capable of operating in the littoral zone. The navy is primarily focused on securing its exclusive economic zone. The Mekabirian air force formed in 1963. Many pilots train in friendly countries such as Tamurin.
