Malesoria, officially the Republic of Malesoria (Malesorian: Republika e Malësorisë), is a country in central Uletha. It is situated in the Iviran region and shares land borders with Suria to the north, UL17h and Qennes to the west, Demirhan Empire to the south and southwest, and UL07f to the west. It borders the Antharian enclave of Adakale on the Kiran river to the south, and also shares a lake border with Antharia to the east. Malesoria covers an area of 175,156 sq km (67,628 sq mi), and has a population of 16.8 million. The capital city, Talrasin (Malesorian: Tëlrasan), is located in the central part of the country, whereas the largest city, Portat e Arta, lies on the short Iviran Coast to the southeast. The sole official language of the country is Malesorian, and the vast majority of the population is ethnically Malesorian.
Malesorian history is a rich tapestry of cultural, political, and social developments that spans over several millennia. The Dacenians were the earliest known inhabitants of the region, followed by the Hellanesian rule in the 3rd century BCE. Following the fall of the Hellanesian power, the area came under the influence of various Antharian, Turquese, and Surian rulers. In the late Middle Ages, the territory of modern-day Malesoria experienced the rise of several independent feudal states, including the Principality of Topojë and the First Kingdom of Malesoria. The Demirhan Empire conquered most of Malesoria in the 16th century, subjecting it to over three centuries of foreign rule. During this period, Malesorians maintained their language, culture, and traditions, preserving their distinct identity.
The 19th century saw a wave of national awakening among the Malesorians, fueled by ideas of romantic nationalism and the emerging concepts of self-determination and nationhood. Following the turmoil in the Demirhan Empire, the Second Kingdom of Malesoria was proclaimed in 1886. The newly formed nation faced numerous challenges, including territorial disputes, political instability, and foreign interventions. Throughout the Great War, the country was led by the communist leader Gëzim Delvina who established a totalitarian regime, isolating Malesoria from the rest of the world. Delvina's death in 1969 caused a ferocious two-year civil war, in which his son, Lirim Delvina, proclaimed the victory. The Second Civil War in the 1980s brought a transition to a multi-party democracy, but faced challenges of corruption and organized crime. In recent decades, Malesoria has made significant strides in consolidating its democracy, strengthening its economy, and pursuing Ulethan integration. The country has undertaken reforms, improved its infrastructure, and engaged in regional cooperation.
