Mishba District, home to two million people, is a large metropolis located in the eastern area of Malabra that is its own subdivision and its own city. It is located on the Quicak peninsula and near an as-of-yet unnamed ocean. It is famous for its prestine beaches, coastal wildlife, culture, and national landmarks. It is the Capitol of the Constitutional Monarchy of Malabra and is home to the Supreme Court, National Archives, Royal Family's Palace, and Parliament. The economy is mostly dominated by tourism, but it has a large fishing industry. The city has historical roots, as it was constructed as the Capitol once Malabra recieved its independence. Since it was a planned city, it benefits from the way it is layed out. The city is only almost two years old.

History

In ancient times, the area of what is now Mishba District was just a jungle full of a few local tribes from the former nation of Branuham and remained so for many years. During the Great Civil War which ultimately became a war against the Dicators and the peoples of Mala and Branuham, the area became a part of continued activity, with some battles being faught in the area in and around the peninsula. Several naval battles also broke out in the ocean near the peninsula. In the end, the countries of Mala and Branuham gained independence, so Branuham controlled the land. After a brief, minor civil war amongst the people (which almost caused the dictators to regain power), Mala and Branuham combined to form Malabra. Seeking an area that would be both beneficial and productive, the Malabrian Provincial Council selected the Quicak penisula as the site of Malabra's Capitol.

Government

Since this is a national capital, local government is limited to a mayor and 6 council men and women, which are voted democratically by the local populace. Council men and women are based on districts. The local government may only make decisions regarding the city itself and may not make any laws or decisions concerning national landmarks or goverment agencies located in the Capital.


The Royal Leaders of Malabra are located in this city for national purposes. This includes the parliament, legistlature, and royal residence. Many other important buildings that are located here are national landmarks, the national archives, and national parks.

They currently host their 22 home games in a 88,000 capacity soccer-specific stadium called Miaskawanca Stadium. Miaskawanca is a national bank chain that paid for the naming rights to the stadium. This stadium also plays host to international soccer events.
