The People's Republic of Murlith is one of the worlds largest countries, located in North East Athkizmix. It is bordered to the north by the North Sea, to its east by the East Sea, to the south by Gwindle and to its west by Nua Shealainn.

History

From the Dawn of time, Murlith, along with neighbour, Gwindle, has always been a very dominant figure in the region of Athkizmix. In the Year 10, these were the only two countries that existed in Athkizmix with both their empires spanning to the very western areas. These empires known as the north/south empires (Murlith's being the northern of the two) lasted until the year 123 when a large war was fought between these two countries for dominance of the whole region. The war lasted 18 years and ended not only with a stalemate between the two great nations, but with these two nations having exhausted all of their military might to the point where their empires were no longer able to be maintained. This saw the creation of the countries Nua Shealainn, Archmonde, Vallexia, and especially Stonelaw a country that originally included what are now the islands of Arrisland and Lador Solora.

During the next 100 years, Murlith under the leadership of the emperors, Lerge Cortez I and II, the military was rebuilt to the extent where they were strong enough to begin their second conquest of the West. This time they did not have the competition from Gwindle and it took them 2 years to build up the first Great Murlith Empire that included all of Athkizmix except for what is modern day Gwindle, which they did not contest. This empire spanned from the year 157 to the year 286.

Three such Great Murlith Empire's have existed. The first from the year 157 to the year 286 was defeated by the army of the recently turned communist, Gwindle, who wished to turn the entire world into one large communist state. The second Great Murlith empire lasted from the year 935 to the year 1002 and was only ended because of the coming to power of Listerio Cortez VI who was also known as the benevolent. This emperor decided that he did not want to be in control of a large empire and so gave it back to the people of Athkizmix. The Third Great Murlith Empire is somewhat controversial as to whether it ought to be deemed a great empire for only half of Athkizmix came under Murlith control in this time (from 1311 to 1411). The two defying nations were Stonelaw who had become powerful in their own right in this time, and Gwindle who had never been conquered by Murlith, just the same as Murlith has never been conquered by Gwindle.

Politics

Currently, Murlith is deemed to be a 'Corrupt Dictatorship', even though the government, under the leadership of Leonardo Cortez, would like to be thought of as an imperialistic government, akin to the leadership of the empires of old. They tend to do whatever they like, but always with the alleged desire to do what's best for the people of Murlith.

States

Murlith is divided into 5 Federal States.

State Capital
1 Akroy Akroy
2 Capital State Murlith City
3 Thoringua Manathamia Cortiler-West Tho
4 Northland Murlith Village
5 Manata Gorlab

Thoringua Manathamia Cortiler-West is the least populated of these states but enjoys having the longest name. The capital city of this state is Tho.

On the other hand, Akroy state has the shortest name but is the most populated of all the states. Belive it or not, Akroy City is the capital of this state.

By general concensus, Northland is deemed to be the most beautiful of the states and although is only the fourth most populated state, has the largest tourism industry in Murlith and is only second to the states in Gwindle. Murlith Vilage is the capital of this state and is also the smalles state capital in Murlith, with a smaller population than many of the towns in the southern parts of the country.

Manata is the largest state in Murlith, only just bigger than northland. Its capital city is Gorlab.
