==Etymology==
The name of Mergania derives from the [[Romantian]] expression "mergari", which means "to trade". The ending "-nia" was established later on and stems from [[Ingerish]]. The name came up after [[User:Mstr/Sandbox#Kalmish language|Kalmish]] settlements have been established in Eastern Uletha in the 14th century.

==EUOIA successor organization==

Possible names:
===Rise and fall of Reisja (802-1047)===
*Eastern Ulethan Organisation of Independent Allies (EUOIA): +++ well known in the OGF world, --- "allies" sounds military
The first king established the Reisja Kingdom, with the Royal King Lotharan Geyer ruling the Reisjian Kingdom. He established trade with many nations, being on a trade route from inland Northern [[Uletha]] to [[Orano]] and [[Commonia]]. He also planned cites and villages to be built for the population who were living in poor housing conditions. This, in turn, caused the citizens to pay higher taxes.
*Eastern Ulethan Organisation of Independent Associates (EUOIA)
Neumann Geyer then became the second king in 834 AD. The citizens pleaded the king to reduce the high taxes, but to no avail. Evil was on the rise under his rule, as he did not make much effort to keep law and order. He was not popular, and in most history books he was mentioned only very briefly.
*Eastern Ulethan Union (EUU): --- too close to European Union
*Associated Nations in Eastern Uletha (ANEU): --- too close to ASUN
*Eastern Ulethan League (EUL)
*Organization of Eastern Ulethan Nations/States (OEUN/OEUS)
*Independent Countries in Eastern Uletha (ICEU)


*Ardentic Ulthea instead of Eastern Uletha?
In 865, King Neumann died, Wagner Neumann, his eldest son took over. He was very fearful that he will be murdered, so he built a wall around his palace, and employed a thousand spies to guard his palace. He even give orders to kill his brothers for some trumped up charges. The people thought he was crazy, and they barged into the palace. He was then pulled off his throne, but luckily he was not murdered.
*Independent sounds important?
*States, Nations or countries?


Prerequisites to join?
===Wabish Rule(1047-1434)===
*country in Eastern Uletha (East of [[Midistland]])?
In 1047, a revolution against the Reisjan Royal Court happened, and thus they were driven out of the country. King Wabia Schermann took over as the next King of the Wabish Kingdom.
*politically stable... democracy? transparency?
*not involved in conflicts/wars (when joining)
*economically stable?

===Exclusive economic zone===
! style="width:150px" | Date
The '''exclusive economic zone of Mergania''' ({{MER-coordinates|name=map|relation=170452}}) is the 200 nautical miles sea zone (measured from the coast line) prescribed by the 19?? AN Convention on the Law of the Sea over which each state has special rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources, including energy production from water and wind.

===Climate===
! class="unsortable"; style="width:500px" | Notes
The island is dominated by an oceanic climate with quite narrow temperature differences between seasons. Thus the temperature varies with the seasons seldom dropping below −10°C or rising above 30°C. The prevailing wind is from the east and bears frequent spells of mild and wet weather from the [[Asperic Ocean]], although the western parts are mostly sheltered from this wind since the majority of the rain falls over the eastern regions the western parts are therefore the driest. Rainfall occurs year-round, with no consistent dry season. The winters often are mild, especially at the western coasts. Summers are warmest in the west of Mergania, being closest to the [[Darcodian Sea]]. Heavy snowfall are seldom in winter due to the lack of high ground.

===Member states===
OLD TEXT:
There are 22 members of the Eastern Ulethan Organisation of Independent Allies. The EUOIA covers a total area of more than 3 million square kilometers across the [[eastern Uletha|eastern portion]] of the [[Uletha]]n continent. The profile of each country varies from smaller countries like [[Viljanni]] to larger ones, such as [[Kojo]]. Every country in the organisation has at least one stretch of coastline, and four of the countries are situated almost entirely on an island. The climate varies from [[Agarderia]] and [[Glaster]]'s colder continental climate in the north to Kojo and [[Belphenia]]'s semi-arid and subtropical regions. All of the countries feature some urbanisation, but the population and density of each member state varies across the spectrum. Viljanni, for example, is among the most densely populated. Although census numbers do not exist for every country, the population within the member states exceeds 420 million. The largest city is [[Pyingshum]], Kojo; Belphenia is the most populated country.


On a political level, each country is different. Most of the member states are republics of some type. [[Eshein]], [[Wiwaxia]] and [[Wyster]] are monarchies. Other varying systems exist, like Belphenia's theocratic guilds. With a few exceptions, most of the countries rank as high or very high on the human development index.

The EUOIA is based on a large number of agreements and treaties.
A treaty is a binding agreement between EUOIA member countries and sets out EUOIA objectives, rules for EUOIA institutions, how decisions are made and the relationship between the EUOIA and its member countries.
Actions of the EUOIA itself have to be based on treaties and have to been approved voluntarily and democratically by all invovled EUOIA member countries.
Treaties are amended to make the EUOIA more efficient and transparent, to prepare for new member countries and to introduce new areas of cooperation.
Each treaty has to be signed at least by three member nations to come into action.


Besides the Treaty of XXXXX, which have to be ratified and signed by every member and regulates the basic principles and rules of the organization, specialied agreements exist under the umbrella of the organization.
Under the treaties, EUOIA institutions can adopt legislation, which the member countries then implement.

The EUOIA has a system of common representation available to all member states in select countries.
coming soon...  
These facilities are staffed by EUOIA citizens, and the ambassador is sent by one of the participating states.
The common representation allows for a cost-saving measure, given that many EUOIA members are smaller countries and the geographic isolation of eastern Uletha.
Not all countries participate in the common representation system.
Even among EUOIA members that do participate, individual countries may elect send their own, separate diplomatic delegation.


Some of the common representations abroad are:
===Law===
*{{Way|4606881|EUOIAn embassy}} in [[Whangiora]], {{Aorangëa}}
The civil law system of Mergania is based on [[Ancient Ulethan law]]. The Mergan penal system seeks the protection of the public and the rehabilitation of the criminal. Mergania has a very low murder rate with 0.7 murders per 100000 in 2017.

A '''Societas Ulethan''' (SU) is a public company registered in accordance with the corporate law of the Eastern Ulethan Economic Community (EUEC), introduced in 1992.
Such a company may more easily transfer to companies in other member states.
However, national law continues to supplement the basic rules in the regulation on formation and mergers.
SUs usually use a [[Generic Top Level Domains|.su top-level-domain]]. One of the prominent examples of a SU is the [[Aerotheon Group]].

==Assembly of Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief==
===National flag===
The '''Assembly of Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief''' (OHAER) is a [[Assembly of Nations]] (AN) body formed in February 1986 by an assembly resolution.
[[File:Mergania_flag.png|180px|thumb|right|The flag of Mergania|link=]]The '''flag of Mergania''' or Mergan flag (Mergan: Merganische Flagge) consists of the two national colors of Mergania (Mergan: Blau-Gold)
The resolution was designed to strengthen the AN's response to complex emergencies and natural disasters.
{{legend|#FFFF00|gold (RGB: 255,255,0; Web color: #FFFF00)}}
Earlier endeavors of the AN in such difficult tasks of fast and non-bureaucratic aid often suffer from misorder and unclear task sharing.
{{legend|#000BC6|blue (RGB: 0,11,198; Web color: #000BC6)}}
<div style="clear:both;"></div><!-- ############################################################################################################## -->
arranged in form of a spiral.
Gold symoblizes the grain growing in the huge wheatfields while blue stands for the sea surrounding the Mergan islands.
The spiral shape can also be interpreted as an allusion to waves of the sea.
The flag's center shows three black stag antlers in diagonal direction, each on gold background.
The stag antlers stem from the [[Mergania#Mähringer Dynasty|Mähringer Dynasty]].
Mergania's flag was first adopted as the national flag in 1832, but details have been modified several times until 1921, when the current flag was created.

===Transportation===
The volume of traffic in Mergania, especially goods transportation, is at a very high level.
 
====Road traffic====
Mergania has a dense network of roads. which is extensively used.
 
The '''Staatsautobahn''' ([[Ingerish]]: Confederate Motorway, [[Mergan]]: Sτąąτsąưτoɓąӊɲ, SAB) is the Mergan confederate highway system. Where no local speed limit is posted, the advisory limit is 120 km/h. Only federally built controlled-access highways meeting certain construction standards including at least two lanes per direction are called Staatsautobahn. They have their own, green-coloured signs and numbers smaller than 20 in the numbering system. All Staatsautobahnen are named by using the capital letter "A" (for the first category), followed by a blank and a number (for example "A 1"). The main Autobahnen have single digit numbers, shorter sections have numbers between 11 and 19. The Staatsautobahnen are considered the safest category of Mergan roads: in 2007, while carrying 22% of all motorized road traffic, they only accounted for 7% of Mergania's traffic fatalities. Mergan Staatsautobahnen are toll-free for light vehicles. A blanket mandatory toll on trucks and buses was introduced in the 1980s.

The national roads in Mergania are called '''Staatsstraße''' ([[Ingerish]]: Confederate Highway, [[Mergan]]: Sτąąτssτrąʂє, SST). Their numbers are between 21 and 99 and are usually well known to local road users, as they appear (written in black digits on a yellow rectangle with black border) on direction traffic signs and in street maps. A Staatsstraßen is often referred to as "B" (for the second category) followed by its number, for example "B21". While the first digit stands for the region, more important routes have a lower second digit.

===Geographical definition===
Other main public roads are maintained by the States, called '''Landesstraße''' ([[Ingerish]]: Country Highway, [[Mergan]]: Ląɲɗєssτrąʂє, LST). The numbers of these roads are prefixed with "C" (for the third category), but are usually not seen on direction signs or written in maps. They appear on the kilometre posts on the roadside. Numbers are larger than 110, where the first digit stands for the state.
While the outer geographical boundaries of Uletha are well defined, the boundaries of regions in Uletha are not. A quite common definition is that [[Midistland]] and all countries east of it belong to Eastern Uletha. In some cases, countries on the [[Axian Peninsula]] ([[Pasundan-Padjadjaran]], [[Wiwaxia]] and [[Ataraxia]]) and the north do not belong to Eastern Uletha.

Very well known is the [[User:Mstr/Sandbox#Scythe of Uletha|Scythe of Uletha]], a chain of island nations.  
Minor roads and streets are built and maintained by the municipalities. These roads have the number prefix "D" (for the fourth street category).

The '''Gulf of Volta''' ([[Eshen]]: ''Galf av Wo̊ltta''; [[User:Mstr/Sandbox#Mergan language|Mergan]]: ''Golf von Volta'') is an oceanic basin that is a southwestward extension of the [[Scythian Sea]]. It is surrounded entirely by parts of the [[Uletha|Ulethan continent]] and serves as an interior, marginal sea off the [[Ardentic Ocean]]. The bordering countries are (in clockwise order) [[Eshein]], [[Viljanni]], [[Mergania]], [[Helvetiany]], [[Zsansk]], [[Lucenius]], [[Westway]], [[Nuen]], [[Izaland]], [[UL28h]], and [[Nelavia]]. The bay is connected via the [[Strait of Madrin]], [[Strait of Owneheym]] and the [[Southern Strait (Mergania)|Southern Strait]] to the [[Darcodian Sea]].


Major ports include the [[Port of Brugham]] in the northwest, the [[Eym|Port of Eym]].
[[Bahnwerk]]


===Etymology===
[[Mergan Staatsbahnen]]
Its [[Ingerish]] name is derived from the island [[Volta]]. In [[Eshen]], the name of Volta is "Wo̊ltta" therefore the name of the gulf in Eshen is "Galf av Wo̊ltta", Gulf of Volta.

}}'''Kalmish''' is a [[Uletarephian/Gaermanic languages#West Gaermanic languages|West Gaermanic language]] in the [[Uletarephian/Gaermanic languages|Uletarephian Language Group]] that was first spoken in [[Kalm]] and is now a language spoken everywhere in the world. Prominent variants of Kalmish are [[Gaerman]], [[Mergan]] and [[Zylandian Language|Sassn in Zylanda]].


==History and geographic distribution==
* at the beginning of the 12th century: merchants of the [[Sellern dynasty]] and, a few years later, a large amount of emigrants spread Kalmish across [[Central Uletha]] and [[Eastern Uletha]], nowasays it is still present at some of these places, e.g. in [[Midistland]] or represented by the [[Mergan |Mergan language]] in [[Älved]], [[Helvetiany]] and [[Mergania]]
*1470s merchants and adventurers from Kalm settled in [[Zylanda]], nowadays [[Zylandian Language|Sassn]] is based in Kalmish
*Kalmish colonization of [[Teenesccan]]
*emigration to [[Zylanda]] during the [[Nine Year War]] in 1667-1676


===Kalmish alphabet===
{| class="wikitable sortable" border="1" style="margin:0px;width:80%;"

'''Mergan''' (Mergan: Merganisch, in [[Kalm]] sometimes called Ostkalmisch) is the [[Eastern Uletha|Eastern Ulethan]] variety of [[Kalmish]], mainly written and spoken in and around [[Mergania]]. It is official language in [[Älved]] and [[Helvetiany]].


===History===
====Disposal====
''This is a rough overview how Kalmish came to Eastern Uletha:''
* at the beginning of the 12th century merchants of the [[Sellern dynasty]] used the [[Great Pretanic Trade Route]] to reach the east
* they brought the [[Kalmish]] language and culture to the east of the [[Uletha|Ulethan]] continent and spread it to several regions
* several large migration waves in the 12th and 13th century brought a large amount of emigrants to the east, many of them settled around the [[Kaspen Sea]] and [[Darcodian Sea]] and strengthen Kalmish influence and culture there
* while the sparely populated islands in the east of the Darcodian Sea provided good prospects for the settlers, Kalmish immigrants in many other regions have been expulsed, they moved further eastwards and finally arrived at the Mergan islands as well
* during the centuries, culture and language developed differently in the East (Mergan) and West(Kalmish), however not independently and only with slight differences due to strong trade relations
* the spread of the written Kalmish language in the 17th and 18th century led to a gradually adjustment of the spoken Mergan language, so Mergan became again (and nowadays [[User:Mstr/Sandbox#Standard Mergan and dialects|Standard Mergan]] is) similar to [[Kalmish#Modern language|Modern Kalmish]]


===Geographic distribution===
Mergan is official language in [[Mergania]], [[Älved]] and [[Helvetiany]] and spoken by minorities in many countries in [[User:Mstr/Sandbox#Eastern Uletha|Eastern Uletha]].


===Standard Mergan and dialects===
===Telecommunication and computing===
Typical Mergan words (contrary to Kalmish):
Mergania has its own top-level domain {{MER-sandbox|.mer}} and as a special, {{MER-sandbox|.bw}} for the state [[Wirtembrug]].

===Education===
Responsibility for educational supervision in Mergania is primarily organised within the individual confederate states, which follow the rules made by the [[Mergania#Ministry of Education and Research|Ministry of Education and Research]]. Kindergarten education is provided for all children between three and six years old, after which school attendance is compulsory for at least nine years. Primary education lasts for five years. Secondary education includes three traditional types of schools focused on different academic levels: the Oberschule enrols the most gifted children and prepares students for university studies; the Mittelschule for intermediate students lasts five years and the Gemeinschule prepares pupils for vocational education.


==Testing multimap relation==
The standard system of apprenticeship called dual education does not lead to an academic degree. Instead, it allows students in vocational training to learn in a company as well as in a state-run vocational school. This model is highly regarded and reproduced all around the world.

Mergania, officially the Merganian Confederation, is a federal sovereign state in Eastern Uletha and an active member of the Eastern Ulethan Organisation of Independent Allies and Assembly of Nations. In the 21st century, Mergania is a great power and has one of the world's largest economies in the sector of high technology. As a global leader in several industrial and technological sectors, it plays an important role in export and import of goods. Mergania is a highly developed country with a very high standard of living sustained by a skilled and productive society. It upholds a social security and universal health care system, environmental protection and a tuition-free university education.

Etymology

The name of Mergania derives from the Romantian expression "mergari", which means "to trade". The ending "-nia" was established later on and stems from Ingerish. The name came up after Kalmish settlements have been established in Eastern Uletha in the 14th century.

Discoveries shows that ancient humans were present in Mergania at least 350 000 years ago. One of the oldest complete hunting weapon found anywhere in the world was discovered in northern Holswig. This is the settlement of most Reisjian Tribes.

Rise and fall of Reisja (802-1047)

The first king established the Reisja Kingdom, with the Royal King Lotharan Geyer ruling the Reisjian Kingdom. He established trade with many nations, being on a trade route from inland Northern Uletha to Orano and Commonia. He also planned cites and villages to be built for the population who were living in poor housing conditions. This, in turn, caused the citizens to pay higher taxes. Neumann Geyer then became the second king in 834 AD. The citizens pleaded the king to reduce the high taxes, but to no avail. Evil was on the rise under his rule, as he did not make much effort to keep law and order. He was not popular, and in most history books he was mentioned only very briefly.

In 865, King Neumann died, Wagner Neumann, his eldest son took over. He was very fearful that he will be murdered, so he built a wall around his palace, and employed a thousand spies to guard his palace. He even give orders to kill his brothers for some trumped up charges. The people thought he was crazy, and they barged into the palace. He was then pulled off his throne, but luckily he was not murdered.

Wabish Rule(1047-1434)

In 1047, a revolution against the Reisjan Royal Court happened, and thus they were driven out of the country. King Wabia Schermann took over as the next King of the Wabish Kingdom.

Mergania is the southernmost of a number of countries that form the Scythe of Uletha in Eastern Uletha, with Viljanni and Eshein bordering to the south, x, x and x to the east and Helvetiany, and the Madean Union to the north. It is also bordered by the Darcodian Sea and the Gulf of Volta. It lies mostly between latitudes 43.5° and 48.5° N and longitudes 129° and 133° E. Mergania has five oversea territories on three continents, each named after the largest town:

Clock 10-11.svg Clock 11-11.svg Clock 03-11.svg Clock 04-11.svg Clock 05-11.svg Clock 07-11.svg

The Mergan main islands are all located in the time zone WUT+8:00. All exclaves are located more west or east, which lead to different time zones for WUT+2:00 in Uthira Stadt to WUT+11:00 in Ludenitz.

Exclusive economic zone

The exclusive economic zone of Mergania (Template:MER-coordinates) is the 200 nautical miles sea zone (measured from the coast line) prescribed by the 19?? AN Convention on the Law of the Sea over which each state has special rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources, including energy production from water and wind.

Climate

The island is dominated by an oceanic climate with quite narrow temperature differences between seasons. Thus the temperature varies with the seasons seldom dropping below −10°C or rising above 30°C. The prevailing wind is from the east and bears frequent spells of mild and wet weather from the Asperic Ocean, although the western parts are mostly sheltered from this wind since the majority of the rain falls over the eastern regions the western parts are therefore the driest. Rainfall occurs year-round, with no consistent dry season. The winters often are mild, especially at the western coasts. Summers are warmest in the west of Mergania, being closest to the Darcodian Sea. Heavy snowfall are seldom in winter due to the lack of high ground.

National flag

The flag of Mergania

The flag of Mergania or Mergan flag (Mergan: Merganische Flagge) consists of the two national colors of Mergania (Mergan: Blau-Gold)

  gold (RGB: 255,255,0; Web color: #FFFF00)
  blue (RGB: 0,11,198; Web color: #000BC6)

arranged in form of a spiral. Gold symoblizes the grain growing in the huge wheatfields while blue stands for the sea surrounding the Mergan islands. The spiral shape can also be interpreted as an allusion to waves of the sea. The flag's center shows three black stag antlers in diagonal direction, each on gold background. The stag antlers stem from the Mähringer Dynasty. Mergania's flag was first adopted as the national flag in 1832, but details have been modified several times until 1921, when the current flag was created.

They have their own, green-coloured signs and numbers smaller than 20 in the numbering system. All Staatsautobahnen are named by using the capital letter "A" (for the first category), followed by a blank and a number (for example "A 1"). The main Autobahnen have single digit numbers, shorter sections have numbers between 11 and 19. The Staatsautobahnen are considered the safest category of Mergan roads: in 2007, while carrying 22% of all motorized road traffic, they only accounted for 7% of Mergania's traffic fatalities. Mergan Staatsautobahnen are toll-free for light vehicles. A blanket mandatory toll on trucks and buses was introduced in the 1980s.

Their numbers are between 21 and 99 and are usually well known to local road users, as they appear (written in black digits on a yellow rectangle with black border) on direction traffic signs and in street maps. A Staatsstraßen is often referred to as "B" (for the second category) followed by its number, for example "B21". While the first digit stands for the region, more important routes have a lower second digit.

The numbers of these roads are prefixed with "C" (for the third category), but are usually not seen on direction signs or written in maps. They appear on the kilometre posts on the roadside. Numbers are larger than 110, where the first digit stands for the state.
