General

Originally a collection of Dincotian Dinosauroids, Draconids, Malych and human colonies, Miokalia officially became established as a protectorate of the Empire of Malychis in 1960 (2152 on the Malych calendar). It was granted complete independence over the next 10 years. Miokalia is a very socially progressive nation of 80 million. Most of which is reptillian, with a human minority (10%) and a mammalian minority (5%). Once a colony belonging to the Empire of Malychis, the nation is now independent however a large portion of Miokalia's military spending still comes from Malychis. Miokalia has an unusually homogenous standard of living as a result of strictly subsidized housing, low home ownership and rigid rent controls. The population is very well educated and upholds the liberal traditions of their parent nations.

Environmental Issues
Deforestation from large-scale wild-fires in north has expanded the desert substantially over the last 200 years.

For public health reasons, thick forest in northern tip was leveled. Thus resulting in the complete loss of many species.

Environmental Policy Highlights
-Miokalia derives almost all of it's energy from renewable sources like wind, tidal and geothermal power.
-Preservation policy is very unusual: "If it poses a threat to our safety: it must go" policy has resulted in extensive deforestation and reduction in biodiversity.

Climate The climate has been substantially altered by heat-pollution, water-vapor pollution and deforestation. Causing the nation to have it's own localized 'local area warming'. This has dramatically altered the ecosystems, combined with the plant and animal life brought into the nation by the Dincotians, the biodiversity has sharply dropped. The climate ranges from desert to mediterranean, although the nation is at mild-to-cold lattitude because of the effects of the water vapor, heat pollution and modified ecosystems.

Although this may seem as a bad thing at first, it has actually made the area more inhabitable for more people in a healthy way. The reduction of biodiversity has been most noticible in insect life, with the sudden introduction of a large number of small reptiles and amphibians. As far as the people are concerned, this isn't that great of a loss.

Economic Overview

Miokalia is home to a monsterously powerful energy regulation bureaucracy and capital regulation system. These entities exist for the sole purpose of giving the federal government a lot of control over the nation's economy. The federal government has adopted a policy of "Selective Free Trade" which is actually not free trade at all. Giving some industries the rights to import and export without tariffs while imposing steep tariffs on others. The goal of this bureaucracy is to cut speculation out of the business completely, by making sure that sacrificing the whole economy for one industry is as not profitable as possible. This means energy, in particular, is tightly regulated to prevent price escalation which could hurt all other businesses while making very few very rich.

Major Exports:

-Energy Products (Electrolytic Hydrogen Fuel, Ammonium, Electricity)

-Automotive Products (Hasegawe Motor Company, Bunj Motor Transportation Company)

-Arms and Defense Manufacturing and Development (General Xenotek Company, MacGunigale, Daecheyron Aerospace)

-Prefabricated Low-Cost Housing Modules (Kohdat Modular, Qubikon Sustainible Housing)

-Urban Agricultural Systems (Growth Vertical Farms Company)

Miokalia is beginning to implement wide-scale legal reform in order to make that business less profitable. A move which actually benefits the rest of the economy and will reduce costs for all businesses substantially, particularly in the areas of media and data services. The legal reform measure will put limits on the profitability of the legal industry. In effect, forming a new tax schedule for that industry which sharply increases at a lower rate of profit to deter the firms from charging as much for their services, and to reduce the amount companies spend on legal services. Several measures have already been enacted as part of this larger legal reform movement: One has put a ban on legal advertising on television. Substantially reducing the profitability of 'ambulance chasing'. Another has reduced the cost payed out by legal firms and companies to the national court system, to make it operate slower, and thus, less profitably. Encouraging companies to make settlments rather than expensive court procedures. Legal reform has had such a large impact on the economic environment of Miokalia, it has actually made the typically socialist state more attractive to certain companies, because sometimes the cost recouped from lower legal costs actually outweighs the increased amount of taxes, making Miokalia one of the most profitable economic environments for some businesses that provide high-paying jobs. This radical legal reform has only come about as a result of the shift from conventional partisan politics to a technocracy where the public expects their leaders to know the technicalities of what they are in charge of. This has allowed for the election of better-educated, more proletarian leadership which has not been afraid to address graft in the legal industry which has lost it's monopoly on government representation.

Telecommunications

Telecom system, general assesment:

 Perfect domestic service, excellent international service.
 Domestic mobile GSM service is very efficient and has very low maintainence cost.
 Older DRC24 landline systems are still capable of handing more bandwidth than 
 standard twisted-pair telephone standards and therefore, haven't needed to be 
 upgraded. Malych RHZ standard provides nearly ubiquitous, long-range wireless 
 broadband at upwards of 10 megabit speeds.

Politics

Miokalia has three major political parties, although the politics within the parties themselves are very diverse.

New Penninsular Pacifist party (NPP) is the current dominating political party, primarily appealing to a solid base of dinosaurians and Malych, forming 60% of the voting population. Within this party, politics range from socialists to pro-business centrists. The party wants to push for legal reform and shift the government toward a legal-reform technocracy to improve the economy for business while not sacrificing government social programs.

Military Coalition is another party that is actually in aggreement with much of the NPP's politics currently. They support legal reform, however they wish to move the government over to an extreme technocracy even at the cost of social programs. They want to reduce taxes and give large tax breaks to private industry. They also believe in increasing Miokalia's military involvement in foreign affairs.

Libertarian party is a reform party that wishes to reduce the size of government and loosen restrictions on foreign trade. However, the most sucess this party has had has been in the primarily human-populated areas at the repeal of social normalcy laws. A move also supported by the NPP.

Branches of Government:

The government is divided into three branches: The executive, Judicial and Legislative.

The Executive branch is the office of the president and the cabinet. The president signs bills into law, the president is elected by direct democracy and popular vote without an electoral college. The president can be impeached only by popular vote, the legislature and judicial branches cannot stop impeachment procedings brought about by popular vote.

The Judicial Branch is made up of 11 Supreme Court Justices, which must be elected by popular vote. These justices can also be impeached by popular vote. It requires a vote of 1/3rd to start a senatorial impeachment hearing.

The legislative branch is divided into three houses: The Upper House (which legislates federal laws and laws pertaining to foreign affairs), The Lower House (which deals with federal laws and state-representation/rights issues), and The Senate (which deals with federal laws and legalities).
