The clan met its nadir during 200 BCE to 0 AD, when different tribal leaders began to secede from the clan with a significant number of armed men. Firstly, in 198 BCE, towards the east of Carung, a new tribed named Yangoon was formed. In 193 BCE, Yangoon fractured into Gumachan, Ilgoon, and Seonbi, after a rebellion, which nearly assassinated the leader of the Yangoon tribe, who was discriminating the far eastern Carungites by dialect and appearance. In 192 BCE, when Gumachan, Ilgoon, and Seonbi re-arranged their military and had their people settled well within their vicinity, they prepared to attack Yangoon; however, they revoked their plan, after their request for support from the Carungite clan has been rejected. The Carungite clan did not want to create chaos amongst its people.

The Carungite clan did not want to create chaos amongst its people.


Peace has been sustained until 9 BCE, when Uru declared independence from Biri in western Carung, as opposed to the already fractured eastern Carung. Gethyonhan declared independence soon after in the same year, as they had been waiting to do so for the past few years. Gumoac, in the far west, declared independence in 4 BCE. Biri, sensing that they could be overwhelmed by the fractured states, had the leaders of all seven tribes gathered in the state during 0 AD and all of the eight tribes promised equal treatment of each of the tribes, territory, resources, and peace. Biri was able to spare itself from the danger of being conquered by the seven tribes, and the seven tribes were able to gain enough territory and resources to be satisfied as to not risk warfare. This is the Proclamation of Equality.


In 330 AD, after a unanimous decision by the Bujok, Carung ascended as Kingdom of Carung during the reign of Dongseo-Gan. Afterwards, in 645 AD, during the reign of Joojan-Gan, Carung ascended into an empire. Joojan-Gan became the first proclaimed Emperor.

Great Morstaybishlia has an area of 5,940,250km² (or 2,293,542 square miles). The mainland part of Great Morstaybishlia is made up of Staynes, Caltharus and South Staynes which are collectively referred to as Morstaybishlia. Justelvard is an archipelago located in the Caven Sea that forms the metropolitan part of the Great Morstaybishlia along with Morstaybishlia. This article will refer to the metropolitan part of the MBE unless it specifically refers to one, some or all of its numerous overseas territories.

Great Morstaybishlia is the third biggest nation and largest transcontinental empire on Urth. At its height, it was the largest nation on the planet, with an empire that comprised what currently forms the [[Kuthernburg]] Commonwealth, most of the [[Gordic Council]] and other territories. It is currently the second largest country on the planet. It has a diverse range of ecosystems. Its metropolitan area goes through five timezones.
[[File:Mount Kersivius.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Mount Kersivius is the tallest mountain in Aurora at 7,405 m]]

The average elevation is 845 m (or 2772 ft). The highest elevation is the summit of [[Zycannes#Mount Kersivius|Mount Kersivius]] which is 7,405 m (or 24,294 ft). The lowest elevation is the Nepiditras Depression in Caltharus (at 79 m below sea level). The longest river is Lamberta River with a length of 5,216 km (or 3241 miles). The largest lake by surface area is Lake Lamberta with an area of 129,850 km² (or 50,135 square miles). It is the second largest lake by surface area on [[Urth]].

The geology of Justelvard and Morstaybishlia are different. Justelvard was formed from volcanic activity and as such it has igneous rock with a base of basalt rock. Morstaybishlia has sedimentary rock with high amount of metals such as iron, aluminium and silicate minerals, precious metals such as silver, rhodium, palladium, platinum and gold, semi precious and precious stones such as sapphire, ruby, garnet, emerald and red beryl, and fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas and coal.

Great Morstaybishlia as a whole comprises largely varying [[wikipedia:Ecosystem|ecosystems]]. Justelvard has an entirely [[wikipedia:tropical climate|tropical climate]] and over 65% of the land is made up by the Flizon rainforest. The Flizon is recognised as being one of the greatest biological diversity sites in the world and is a lot more species rich than the Jubrione evergreen rainforest despite its higher level of biodiversity to other evergreen rainforests, caused by large annual rainfall from Lake Lamberta which extends all the way to the Agners mountains and the Staynes-Caltharus border.

[[Wikipedia:Moorland|Moorlands]] form a natural barrier from the Jubrione evergreen rainforest to temperate deciduous forests in Staynes. The flat lands of the Staynish interior once formed a large shallow inland sea similar to the Sea of Alva and acts as a drainage basin for multiple large rivers including the longest Staynish river the Anker to both the West Sea and Lake Lamberta. The Staynish interior also has areas of seasonal wetlands and large deposits of crude oil from ancient marine organisms of the former Maltervenic Sea.

The [[Zycannes]] is one of the worlds largest mountain ranges by area, the largest on [[Aurora]], and is the worlds longest. The mountains form the natural border between several nations, including Staynes and South Staynes to an extent. Staynes and a small region of South Staynes that is north of the mountain range is on the windward side and sees luscious vegetative growth whilst South Staynes is on the leeward side and is a long belt hot semi-arid land which makes up the Sperran Desert. There are two mountain ranges adjacent to the Zycannes; the Burren mountains and the Oesan mountains. Between the Burren and Zycannes there's a [[wikipedia:Semi-arid climate|semi-arid]] region known as the Jersian Desert and between the Oesan and Zycannes there's a small semi-arid region called the Oeser Desert.

Within the [[Wikipedia:Semi-arid climate#Hot semi-arid climates|hot semi-arid climate]] of the Sperran Desert lies a small belt of cold desert climate that forms a boundary. South Staynes experiences a mixture of [[wikipedia:Temperate coniferous forest|temperate coniferous forests]] and grasslands on relatively flat areas or rolling hills. The region south of the cold desert belt has a continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.


=== Biodiversity and Environment ===
In part of being split by two mountain ranges, the Zycannes and the Kalivian mountains; Caltharus is split into three different regions. The north of the Zycannes is windward and hosts a mixture of temperate climates, present in the north and north west is an oceanic climate and closer to the Zycannes is a typical continental climate. Immediately below the Zycannes is a narrow belt of cold desert called the Waron Desert and the Versuben mountains which connects to the Zycannes in two places and forms a segregated low area of hot arid land known as the Versubish Desert. Between the Waron Desert and the Kalivian mountains there are areas of large precipitation and thus forms a large wet temperate forest region. North of the Kalivian mountains is windward and south of the mountains is leeward, giving the provinces of Nocturne and some of Barbarus and Jomsgord a mixture of steppe and a semi-arid deserts.

While the northern regions of Carung contain permafrost, preventing the growth of forests, grasslands, and other ecosystems, the southern regions are more tolerant. Coniferous and mixed forests, and grasslands exist. There are various kinds of mammals, but horses are especially common, as many of them can be spotted all around southern Carung.
In the seas surrounding Great Morstaybishlia, Justelvard is host to some 25 [[Wikipedia:Deep-water coral|deep-water corals]] primarily in the Western Outliers Province but also in the Dorghold Islands chain between Sinerus Island and Varness. The largest deep-water corals are Pannagar corals which extends over a length of about 43 kilometers (27 mi), and has a width of up to 6.9 kilometers (4.3 mi) and Kenure corals which extends over a length of about 31 kilometers (19.2 mi), and has a width of up to 5 kilometers (3.1 mi). The deep-water corals belong to the [[Wikipedia:Cnidaria|Phylum Cnidaria]] and are mostly [[Wikipedia:Scleractinia|stony corals]], but also include [[Wikipedia:Antipatharians|black and horny corals]]. The black and horny corals aren't present in the 4 deep-water corals off the coast Caltharus and Staynes respectively. Off the coast of South Staynes and encompassing most of the continental waters in the Azure Sea lies a [[wikipedia:Kelp forest|kelp forest]].

[[File:Dazman Beach - Redrugus.jpg|right|thumb|220px|Dazman Beach, Redrugus, on the hottest Day in 2018]]
Great Morstaybishlia has a climate that varies. Most of Morstaybishlia is temperate, with plentiful rainfall all year round. The temperature varies with the seasons seldom dropping below −5 °C (23 °F) or rising to 42 °C (107.6 °F) in the north, and dropping below -15 °C (5 °F) or rising to 24 °C (75.2 °F) in the south. The southern regions of South Staynes often has prevailing winds which bears frequent spells of mild and wet weather from the Azure Sea, although the northern parts are mostly sheltered from this wind since the majority of the rain falls over the southern regions and therefore the midland regions including the Sperran Desert are the driest. Packilvanian currents, warmed by the Oceanus Stream, bring mild winters; especially in the west where winters are dry. Summers are warmest in the north of Morstaybishlia being closest to the tropics but also in the several deserts within the rain shadow of the Zycannes, and coolest in the south. Heavy snowfall can occur more southerly in winter and early spring on high ground, and occasionally settles to great depth away from the hills.


Most southwestern areas of the country experience a humid continental climate. Most of southeastern and northern areas of the country have a subarctic climate, with extremely severe winters with the record low temperature of −69 °C or −92.2 °F, and more moderate elsewhere.
In most of the Flizon Jungle and parts of the Jubrione, there is no dry season. The Flizon has an average precipitation value of at least 60 mm (2.4 in) per month whilst the Jubrione has around 304 mm (12 in) per month. Tropical rainforests and tropical evergreen rainforests have no summer or winter; it is typically hot and wet throughout the year and rainfall is both heavy and frequent and in the Jubrione very unpredictable. One day in these climates can be very similar to the next, while the change in temperature between day and night may be larger than the average change in temperature during the year. The Jubrione is considerably temperate, between 16 °C and 22 °C or 60.8 °F and 73 °F degrees. The northern Jubrione coast is the hottest, at an average of 23 °C. The Jubrione maintains annual humidity levels of 77%. The Flizon Jungle in Justelvard maintains an average heat of 28 °C and annual humidity levels between 78% and 80%.


The northern shore have a polar climate, also known as ice cap climate, and tundra climate. Southwestern part of the country possesses a humid subtropical climate with unusually wet winters. Winter is dry compared to summer in many regions, while certain areas experience more even precipitation across seasons. Winter precipitation in most parts of the country usually falls as snow. Southeastern area of the country possess a semi-arid climate.
[[File:The Harsh Winter of 1943 in South Staynes.jpg|left|thumb|220px|Morstaybishlian army troops clearing snow from a railway cutting, 1943]]
The location of the Zycannes, as well as the great variations in their elevations and exposure, give rise to very large differences in climate, not only among separate ranges but also within a particular range itself. Because of their central location in Aurora, the Zycannes are affected by four main climatic influences: from the north and west flows the relatively mild, moist air of the Packilvanian; cool or cold polar air descends from southwestern Aurora; continental air masses, cold and dry in winter and hot in summer, dominate in the east; and, to the south, dry Azure air flows northward. The average temperature in the foothills of the Zycannes is around 13 °C to 18 °C.


About 55% of the Russian territory is underlain by permafrost.
The highest recorded temperature was during the 2018 summer in the Staynish interior when the mercury hit 47.5 °C (117.5 °F) in Iron Valley, Jersia Desert, whilst the lowest recorded was during the Great Freeze of 1943 (the most brutal winter Aurora had seen in over three centuries), where during the blizzard filled night of 26 June the temperature was recorded at -24 °C (-11.2 °F) over the town of Keltucka, South Staynes.

The politics of Great Morstaybishlia take place in the framework of a [[wikipedia:unitary state|unitary state]] under a constitutional monarchy. The [[wikipedia:Monarch|monarch]] and head of state of Great Morstaybishlia is [[Lambertus VII]]. The monarch occupies a largely symbolic position with limited powers. In practice the monarch is limited to the following powers: receiving diplomats, signing laws without the power to veto them and signing treaties without the power to ratify them, and opening sessions of the legislature. The Constitution of Great Morstaybishlia is a supreme legal document that keeps checks and balances within government. Parliament can perform "constitutional reform" simply by passing Act of Parliament, and thus has the political power to change or abolish almost any written element of the constitution. No Parliament can pass laws that future Parliaments cannot change.


'''Yangoon Tribe Representative''': Yangoon Mokso
A body of aristocrats and distinguished people, called the Privy Council, advises the monarch on the exercise of their duties with some committees such as the [[Cabinet of Great Morstaybishlia|Cabinet]], having taken over much of the work of ruling from the Crown.


'''Gumachan Tribe Representative''': Gumachan Jiril
===Government===


'''Ilgoon Tribe Representative''': Ilgoon Hyangri
The Morstaybishlian parliamentary government is based on the Kalmington system that is emulated in some former colonies after 1917 and instated in 4 out of 6 nations in the [[Ethalns]] after the [[Auroran-Pacific War]]. The government is divided into two branches: an elected House of Representatives and an appointed House of Peers. All bills passed are given Royal Assent before becoming law.


'''Seonbi Tribe Representative''': Seonbi Suri
The position of [[wikipedia:Prime Minister|prime minister]] is the head of government of Great Morstaybishlia. The position belongs to the person most likely to command the confidence of the House of Representatives; this individual is typically the leader of the political party or coalition of parties that holds the largest number of seats in that chamber. By convention, the monarch respects the prime minister's decisions of government.
[[File:PMs of MBE AUG2020.png|left|thumb|700px|Prime Ministers since the First Parliament of 1917]]


'''Gudacheon Tribe Representative''': Gudacheon Daewon
The cabinet is drawn from members of the prime minister's party or coalition and mostly from the House of Representatives but always from both legislative houses, the cabinet being responsible for both. The work is divided according to topics called portfolios occupied by Ministers of the Crown. Other executive officials may attend cabinet meetings but may not vote. Executive power is exercised by the prime minister and cabinet, all of who are sworn into the Privy Council of Great Morstaybishlia, and become Ministers of the Crown. The current Prime Minister is [[Franklin Barvata]] who has held office since 27 February 2019. Barvata is also the leader of the [[MBE Labour|Labour Party]]. For elections to the House of Representatives, the MBE is divided into 1,794 constituencies, each electing a single member of parliament (MP) by [[wikipedia:plurality voting|simple plurality]]. General elections are called by the monarch when the prime minister so advises. The Fixed-tern Parliaments Act 1946 required that a new election must be called no later than seven years after the previous general election.

The government is heavily centralised in [[Sani Bursil]] and handles matters such as defence, currency, trade, treaties, property rights, public health care, education, and land management. Territorial governments such as [[Louzaria]] and [[Joralesia]] are restricted to issues such as housing, water, power, sanitation and local roads. The national government has a large degree of control over their internal affairs.


'''Gethyonhan Tribe Representative''': Gethyonhan Gondan
The [[MBE Conservatives|Conservative Party]], the [[MBE Labour|Labour Party]] and the [[MBE Democrats|Democrats]] have, in modern times, been the MBE's three major political parties, representing the Morstaybishlian traditions of conservatism, socialism and liberalism, respectively. Most of the remaining seats were won by parties that contest elections only in one party of the MBE: Justelvard Unionist Party and Justelvard Independence Party (Justelvard only); and the Nocturnian Independence Party (Nocturne only). In accordance with party policy, no elected Nocturnian Independence Party members of parliament have ever attended the House of Representatives to speak on behalf of their constituents because of the requirement to take an oath of allegiance to the monarch.

==== History of constituencies ====
[[File:Morstaybishlian Province Map.png|right|thumb|550px|Map of Great Morstaybishlia showing its 65 provinces]]

In 1917, Morstaybishlia converted from absolutism to parliamentary democracy and the first mention of constituencies were made. After the Great War, Morstaybishlia's territory looked very different; [[Axdel]], [[Lyrevale]] and [[Emberwood Coast]] were apart of the Empire, whilst the lands east of the Ider River in Caltharus weren't. The Constituency Administration Committee were established to draw up the first constituency maps. The first iteration in 1917 had 1,214 constituencies and gave the Principality of Norograd representation for the first time under the Morstaybishlian Empire with 170 seats. During the interwar period the constituencies remained unchanged until 1975 when the Norogradian Principality gained independence as [[Norograd]] and the land east of the Ider River came back under control of Morstaybishlia. The Constituency Administration Committee was re-established and produced a second map that overhauled most of the work from the first, producing 1,742 constituencies. This remained until the Acts of Union of Great Morstaybishlia and Justelvard which saw 52 new constituencies added to make the final iteration of 1,794.

=== Provinces ===

The history of local government in Great Morstaybishlia differs between Staynes, Caltharus, South Staynes (Valeria before the 13th century) and Justelvard, and the subnational divisions within these which have been called provinces have varied over time and by purpose. The province has formed the upper tier of local government over much of Great Morstaybishlia at one time or another, and has been used for a variety of other purposes, such as for Lord Lieutenants, land registration and postal delivery.

All of the 10 provinces in Staynes are based off of historic countries during the [[Staynes#Interregnum period|First Interregnum Period]]. Over Staynes' history these provinces saw major reforms in 1621, 1784 and 1897, but were reverted back to the ten provinces in 1955. The provinces in South Staynes were established in 1977 based on the historic divides during the administration of the Kingdom of Valeria prior to 1256; South Staynes has the most provinces of any constituent country at 27 but since 1989 there have been calls to simplify these provinces down to 22. Caltharus has 22 provinces which are based off of the smaller kingdoms that existed before the unification of Caltharus in the 8th century.

=== Law enforcement and crime ===
[[File:Supreme Court of Justice in the UK.jpg|185px|thumb|right|Hamlen House, the location of the Supreme Court of Justice in Great Morstaybishlia.]]
The judiciary enforces laws, settles disputes and carries out justice. The judiciary is structured according to the following hierarchy:
* The Supreme Court is the highest court. It makes sure that laws follow the constitution. It is the final court for appeals on any matter. It sits in the capitol.
* Each state has a High Court which is usually divided among major cities of that states. It receives appeals.
* Magistrate Courts conduct trials. They are ranked according to the affairs and geographical area over which their jurisdiction extends. In order of least to highest, they are as follows: ward (or parish), borough (or shire), county (or district), then region (or province).

The judicial system follows Staynish [[Wikipedia:common law|common law]]. A single judge (or group of judges in the case of appellate courts) uses common sense, statutes and precedent to decide on a case. Adversaries (a plaintiff and defendant) present written and/oral evidence and cross examine witnesses to defend or refute a charge. In instances were the state is representing the plaintiff, that party is called the prosecution.

Each state possesses a police force under the authority of the state government. The national government controls law enforcement agencies that deal with particularly complex or multijurisdictional cases and provides support to state police. Some larger cities, such as [[Sani Bursil]], [[Fort Jubrayn]] and [[Redrugus]] maintain their own police forces. Generally the law enforcement is disciplined and impartial.

They are made up of three branches: the Navy, Army and Air Force. The forces are managed by the Ministry of Defence and controlled by the Defence Council, chaired by the Secretary of State for Defence; currently Mikhail Sankuda. The Commander-in-Chief is the Morstaybishlian monarch, to whom members of the forces swear an oath of allegiance. The Armed Forces are charged with protecting Great Morstaybishlia and its overseas territories, promoting Great Morstaybishlia's global security interests and supporting international peacekeeping efforts.

The Morstaybishlian armed forces played a key role in establishing the Morstaybishlian Empire as the dominant world power in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. By emerging victorious from conflicts, Morstaybishlia has often been able to decisively influence world events. Since the comedown of the Morstaybishlian Empire, Great Morstaybishlia has remained a major military power.

The [[Imperial Navy]] controls three sub branches: the Imperial Marines (an amphibious infantry), the Imperial Coast Guard (a maritime law enforcement branch) and the Imperial Missile Force. The Army forms the land component. It controls another sub branch called the Gendarmerie, a paramilitary force. The Imperial Air Force forms the air branch and controls the air defence sub branch. The [[Redplate Guard]] are a fourth branch of the Armed Forces with its origins coming from the Union of the Thrones in 1515, it is typically the size of a brigade, of which there is a battalion called the Palatine Guard that is for service of the sovereign and their royal residencies.

===Overview===
[[File:900px-Kirib symbol.png|right|thumb|180px|The [[Kirib]] (symbol: ♅; ISO code: KRB) is the official currency of Great Morstaybishlia, the [[UNAC]] countries and most former and all current Morstaybishlian colonies]]
Great Morstaybishlia has a partially regulated market economy. Based on market exchange rates, Great Morstaybishlia is today the largest economy in the world. HM Treasury, led by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is responsible for developing and executing the government's public finance policy and economic policy. The [[Kirib]], which is the legal tender, originated in Great Morstaybishlia. Historically, the Kirib was issued by the Auroran Bank in Sani Bursil, Staynes, but is presently issued by the Auroran Bank in Tarov, [[Tivot]], printed by the Staynish Bank Note Company and minted by the Royal Staynish Mint. The Bank of Staynes is the MBE's central bank and continues to act as a [[Wikipedia:Central bank|central bank]] in other respects such as regulating the banking sector, acting as a lender to banks and managing the nation's gold reserves. Great Morstaybishlia has gold reserves of 172 billion KRB.
The Kirib is the world's second-largest reserve currency (after the SH Dollar). Since 1995 the Bank of Staynes' Monetary Policy Committee, headed by the Governor of the Bank of Staynes, has been responsible for setting interest rates at the level necessary to achieve the overall inflation target for the economy that is set by the Chancellor each year.

[[File:MBE bullet train.jpg|right|thumb|250px|BURAET Bullet train]]
The railway network of Morstaybishlia, which as of 2019 stretches 265,847 kilometres (165,190 mi) is the most extensive in Aurora. The rail network was privatised between 2005 and 2009, which was followed by a rapid rise in passenger numbers following years of decline, although the factors behind this are disputed. There's 3,945 kilometers (2,451 mi) of rail network in Justelvard and railways in Justelvard are operated by JV Railways, a subsidiary of state-owned TrainLink. High-speed trains include the Aurostar, the BURAET and Ethaline trains, which travels at 320 km/h (199 mph) in commercial use. Since privatization in 2005 to 2009, dozens of Staynish railway companies compete in regional and local passenger transportation markets. Some 300 high-speed bullet trains connect major cities and these trains are known for their safety and punctuality. Great Morstaybishlia also has the LOOP, a hyperlink trainline that connects across Aurora and is the largest continuous train line ever built.

The Aurostar runs all across Aurora; BURAET literally means ''Bur''sil to ''Aet''ernum and connects the two capitals whilst also travelling through other major conurbations. Rail connections exist to all other neighboring countries in Aurora, except Dragonia. Intra-urban connections are also well developed with both underground services (Sani Bursil, Redrugus, Kirdintayos, Aeternum, Lambertupol, Fort Jubrayn) and tramway services (Sani Bursil, Eskrador, Valeron, Imbazdu, Kasidura and others) complementing bus services.

[[File:Morst airplane.png|left|thumb|275px|Morstaybishlian Air is one of the biggest airlines in the world]]
There are approximately 9,265,190 kilometres (5,757,122 mi) of serviceable roadway in Morstaybishlia, ranking it the most extensive network in the world. The Sani Bursil region is enveloped with the most dense network of roads and highways that connect it with virtually all parts of the country. Morstaybishlian roads also handle substantial international traffic, connecting with cities in neighboring North Ethalria, Durentrus, Sarentria, Tivot, Volova, Tuvaltastan, Valerica, Rosalica and Asilica. The MBE has an annual motoring taxation; however, most motorways are free to use. The new car market is dominated by domestic brands such as Audelli (18% of cars sold in Morstaybishlia in 2010), Kentora (17.5%) and Mambeck (15.2%). Over 65% of new cars sold in 2013 had diesel engines, far more than contained petrol or LPG engines.


(WIP)
There are 4,176 airports in Great Morstaybishlia. Fort Jubrayn Airport, located on the outskirts of Fort Jubrayn, is the largest and busiest airport in the country, handling the vast majority of popular and commercial traffic and connecting to virtually all major cities across the world. Morstaybishlian Air is the national carrier airline, although numerous private airline companies provide domestic and international travel services such as Jubrayn Airlines and Limhay Travel. Great Morstaybishlia handled a total of 1.256 billion passengers in 2018. There are twelve major ports in Great Morstaybishlia, the largest of which is in Fort Jubrayn Aeternum, which also are the second and third-largest bordering the Morstaybishlian Sea behind Tarov. 110,349 kilometres (68,567 mi) of waterways traverse Morstaybishlia including the Anker River, which connects many of the interior Staynish cities to the West Sea, and the Jubliak River which connects Sani Bursil to the Morstaybishlian Sea.


===Energy===
===Energy===


(WIP)
In 2014, Great Morstaybishlia was the world's second-largest consumer of energy and the largest producer. The MBE is home to a number of large energy companies, including one oil and gas "supermajor" – [[Embask]]. In 2018, 37 per cent of the MBE's electricity was produced by gas, 35 per cent by nuclear power, 20 per cent by coal and 8 per cent by wind, hydro, biofuels and wastes.

== Demographics ==
[[Image:List of cities in MBE by population.PNG|right|thumb|600px|Cities in Great Morstaybishlia by size]]
Great Morstaybishlia is estimated to have a population of 479,569,512 as of the 28th March 2020, making it the second most populous country in the world behind [[Packilvania]]. It has an urban population of 402,203,446 (83.89%), of which 195,988,627 (40.89%) is urban cities and 206,214,819 (43%) is urban towns. Barkoln is the most populous province, as the mean centre of Great Morstaybishlia's population has consistently shifted to the [[Sani Bursil|Cradle of Aurora]]. [[Sani Bursil]] is the most populous city, followed by Aeternum and Kirdintayos. Great Morstaybishlia has a rural population of 77,366,066 (16.11%).

The total fertility rate in Great Morstaybishlia estimated for 2020 is 2.4 children per woman, which is above the replacement fertility rate of approximately 2.1. The Great Morstaybishlia Census Bureau shows a population increase of 3% for the twelve-month period ending in September 2014. This is considerably high by industrialised country standards, being above the world average annual rate of 1.1%.

There were about 274.16 million females in Great Morstaybishlia in 2020. The number of men was 205.4 million. At age 85 and older, there were almost twice as many women as men (6.1 million vs. 3.3 million). People under 21 years of age made up over 101.66 million of the MBE's population (27.2%), and people age 65 and over made up 69.53 million (14.5%). The national median age was 38.2 years in 2020.

Whites constitute the majority of Great Morstaybishlia's population, with a total of 438.94 million or 91.53% of the population as of 2020. Non-Ethal or Non-Kostuv whites make up 76% of the country's population. Despite major changes due to immigration since the 1950s, and the higher birth-rates of nonwhites, the overall current majority of Morstaybishlian citizens are still white, and Staynish-speaking, though regional differences exist.
[[File:MBE population density by province.png|right|thumb|600px|Great Morstaybishlian provinces by population density; in this map it is clear which provinces of South Staynes the [[Zycannes]] mountain range pass through.]]

The Morstaybishlian population almost quadroupled during the 20th century—at a growth rate of about (?)% a year—from about 90.2 million in 1900 to 381 million in 2000. It reached the 300 million mark in 1978, and the 400 million mark on the 26th of May 2007. According to the Census Bureau's estimation for 2015, 29.7% of Morstaybishlian children under the age of 1 belonged to minority groups.

Other Aurorans accounted for 24% of the national population growth of 4 million between the 1st of September 2011, and the 1st of September 2012.

The Census Bureau projects a MBE population of 500 million in 2025, a (?)% increase from (?) ((?) million).

The average population density of Great Morstaybishlia is 81 people per square kilometer. On average, Justelvard and South Staynes are the densest constituent countries with 102.99 and 98.13 people per square kilometer respectively. On the other end of the spectrum Caltharus and Staynes are less dense with 80.61 and 69.12 people per square kilometer. The Sani Bursil metropolitan area is the densest region of the MBE with 9,859.37 people per square kilometer and the province of Jubrionas is the sparsest with 6.87 people per square kilometer. Six of the top ten largest provinces by population density are from South Staynes, including Kladnes, which has a population density of 655.77 people per square kilometer and Kalidest, which has a population density of 645.46 people per square kilometer; the latter is where the capital Kirdintayos of South Staynes is. Justelvard observes the most even spread of population density by province, the densest province is Isekaiou with 534.51 people per square kilometer and the sparsest is the Western Outliers with 73.36 people per square kilometer.

===Ethnic groups===
[[File:Berowalt Penn.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Former table tennis world champion Berowalt Penn is an example of a southern Auroran with fair skin.]]
Historically, indigenous Morstaybishlian people were thought to be descended from the various ethnic groups that settled around the north coast of Aurora around 40 to 50 thousand BC: the Jubrites, Maltites and Kosites, who are thought to be the direct descendants of the Strathepolic people and the oldest ethnic group in the Aurora. A 2012 genetic study shows that more than 35% of the Morstaybishlian gene pool contains Salovian Y and Ethalrian Y chromosomes. Another 2015 genetic analysis indicates that "about 73% of the traceable ancestors of the modern Staynish population had arrived in the Staynish lands by about 10 thousand years ago, at the start of the Maltervenian Neolithic or Stone Age", and that the Staynish broadly share a common ancestry with the Axdelian people. A separate study conducted in South Staynes found that only 30% of the gene pool contains the broad plethora of Morstaybishlian genes, with the rest coming from either West or East Aurora. South Staynes was one of the last areas on Aurora to be truly inhabited by humans as the Zycannes prevented the immediate habitation and thus the descendants from the Kosites who traveled eastward eventually migrated to the Southern-Central Auroran coast and more specifically South Staynes.

[[File:A Morst bride and groom.jpeg|right|thumb|250px|A bride and groom from Morstaybishlia who have the most common skin colour, found native to north Staynes and Caltharus.]]
Justelvard sits on the remaining land area of the Strathepolic archipelago and it is believed that over 90% of Auroran's ancestry originate here. A large land bridge extending from west-Justelvard to Bai Lung and then to the Staynish-Caltharusian border became the premier travelway of the two continents after the early submerging of a land bridge from East Malaysia through the Morstaybishlian West Pacific Territories and the Oan Isles connecting to the easternmost Auroran coastline. The Strathepolic people mainly lived in and around the northern Strathepolic ridge but migrated southwards during its erosion to strong Pacific currents. A study found that Jussie genes are closely comparable of those genes thought to be pure-Morstaybishlian.

Since the mid to late 19th century and the early 20th century substantial immigration from the Gordic Council and the Kuthern Commonwealth, the Caliphate, and Overseas Territories has been a legacy of ties forged by the Morstaybishlian Empire. Migration from UNAC (formerly ACA) member states in Western and Eastern Aurora since 2017 has resulted in growth in these population groups, although some of this migration has been temporary. Since the 2000s, there has been substantial diversification of the immigrant population, with migrants to the MBE coming from a much wider range of countries than previous waves, which tended to involve larger numbers of migrants coming from a relatively small number of countries.

Ethnic diversity varies significantly across Great Morstaybishlia. Just over 26% (11 million) of Sani Bursil's population and 25% of Aternum's was estimated to be non-white in 2017, whereas less than 5% of the populations of western-Caltharus, north South Staynes and central Staynes were from ethnic minorities, according to the 2017 census. In 2016, 28.8% of primary and 26.4% of secondary pupils at state schools in Staynes were members of an ethnic minority. The 1997 census was the first MBE census to have a question on ethnic group. In the 1997 MBE census 92.8% of people reported themselves as being White Morstaybishlian or White Other with 7.2% of people reporting themselves as coming from other minority groups.

During the early 20th century at the outbreak of the [[Great War]], Packilvanian migrants came in waves amounting up to nearly five million. After the war, Ethalrian and Salovian migrants numbered nearly 920,000. Staynes has had small Asatru community for many centuries, subject to occasional expulsions, but Staynish Asatru's numbered fewer than 16,000 at the end of the 1910s. During the Noroist Movements pre-independent Norograd, then part of the Empire, resulted in nearly two million people migrating to the fatherland. After the Auroran-Imperial War, there was significant immigration from the colonies and newly independent former colonies, many from [[Lokania]] and independent South Staynes, partly as a legacy of empire and partly driven by labour shortages.

===Languages===

[[File:Staynish Alphabet.jpg|right|thumb|220px|The Staynish alphabet]]
Great Morstaybishlia's de facto official language is Staynish, Calth, Jubliakese and Old Staynic. It is estimated that 94% of the MBE's population are multilingual Staynish and Calth speakers, with 20% being able to speak Old Staynic and 15% being able to speak Jubliakese. 6% of the population are estimated to speak languages brought to the MBE as a result of relatively recent immigration. Yasterian languages, including [[Packilvania|Packilvanian]], Wachovian, Codexian and Asendavian, are the largest grouping and are spoken by 2.5% of the MBE population. According to the 2017 census, [[wikipedia:Italian language|Axdan]] has become the largest non-Morstaybishlian-Auroran language spoken in Morstaybishlia and has 1.5 million speakers.

[[File:Old Staynic text.png|left|thumb|220px|The Old Staynic language]]
There are several recognized regional languages spoken across Great Morstaybishlia: Horkalese, Justelvardic, Kirdintay, Amos Noc and Accerus. All are recognized as regional or minority languages, by the United Nations of the Auroran Continent, under the Auroran Charter for Regional or Minority Languages and the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. As it is a UNAC member state, this therefore obliges the Great Morstaybishlian government to provide them specific measures of protection and promotion.

In the 2017 Census over a forth (25.6%) of the population of the Province of Horkalo said they could speak Horkalese, an increase from the 2007 Census (23%). In addition it is estimated that about 200,000 Horkalese speakers live elsewhere in Staynes. Over 492,000 people in Justelvard (just 3% of the population) had varying Reoa language ability, including 66% of those living on the eastern islands. The number of schoolchildren being taught through minority languages are increasing.

It is compulsory for Staynish and Caltharusian pupils to study the Staynish and Calth languages up to the age of 16 in their respective countries. In South Staynes it is compulsory to study both Staynish and Old Staynic up to the age of 16. In the Province of Jubliak, where Jubliakese is spoken as a main language, it is taught up to the age of 14 either alongside Staynish and Calth or just Staynish. During Sixth Form is it optional to learn a foreign language, Kostuvian and Axdan are the two most commonly taught FOREIGN languages in Staynes and Caltharus. All pupils in South Staynes are given the option to learn Kirdintay in Sixth Form.

[[File:Syllester Abbey, Redrugus.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Collegiate Church of Saint Matilda at Syllester is the Thaerist Cathedral in Redrugus, known worldwide for coronations of Morstaybishlian sovereigns from as early as the 15th century and the location of all royal weddings since 1897.]]
[[File:Thaerism necklace of faith.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Typical necklace of faith worn by Thaerists.]]
[[Thaerism]] has dominated religious life in what is now Great Morstaybishlia for over 1200 years. Although a majority of citizens still identify with Thaerism in many surveys, regular temple attendance has fallen dramatically since the late 19th century, while immigration and demographic change have contributed to the growth of other faiths, most notably Pax Islam. This has led some commentators to variously describe Great Morstaybishlia as a multi-faith or secularised.


(WIP)
In the 2019 census 65.2 per cent of all respondents indicated that they were Thaerists, with the next largest faiths being Pax Islam (4 per cent), [[Vaerism]] (3.2 per cent), Varism (0.6 per cent), Asatru (0.3 per cent), Ademarism (0.2 per cent) and all other religions (0.3 per cent). 20.8 per cent of respondents stated that they had no religion, with a further 5.4 per cent not stating a religious preference. Vaerism holds a religious stronghold in the Nocturne province of Caltharus with over 87% of Morstaybishlians practicing Vaerism living there.

The state recognises religious organisations according to formal legal criteria that do not address religious doctrine. Conversely, religious organisations are expected to refrain from intervening in policy-making. Certain groups are considered cults and therefore do not have the same status as recognised religions in Great Morstaybishlia. Cults are considered a pejorative term in Great Morstaybishlia.


===Education===
===Education===
Education in Great Morstaybishlia is a devolved matter, with each country having a separate education system.

Considering the four systems together, about 40 per cent of Great Morstaybishlia's population has a university or college degree, which is the highest percentage in Aurora, and among the highest percentages in the world. Great Morstaybishlia trails only to [[South Hills Council of Governments|South Hills]] in terms of representation on lists of top 100 universities.

A government commission's report in 2014 found that privately educated people comprise 8% of the general population of the MBE but much larger percentages of the top professions, the most extreme case quoted being 70% of senior judges.


(WIP)
In Staynes, Caltharus and South Staynes, it is compulsory for all primary and secondary schools to have a uniform, whilst in Justelvard most schools do not have a compulsory uniform policy in place. A school uniform typically consists of a blazer in the school colours or a white shirt or blouse; a tie, trousers or skirt in a black, grey, or blue and black shoes. It could also be a shirt, sweater, and tie or a polo shirt and a sweatshirt.


===Healthcare===
===Healthcare===


(WIP)
Healthcare in Great Morstaybishlia is a devolved matter and each country has its own system of private and publicly funded health care, together with alternative, holistic and complementary treatments. Public healthcare is provided to all MBE permanent residents and is mostly free at the point of need, being paid for from general taxation. The UNAC, in 2019, ranked the provision of healthcare in Great Morstaybishlia as best in Aurora and fourth in the world. Since 1975 expenditure on healthcare has been increased significantly to bring it closer to the highest world standards. The MBE spends around 7 per cent of its gross domestic product on healthcare, which is about one and a half percentage points lower than the average of the United Nations of the Auroran Continent.

Regulatory bodies are organised on a MBE-wide basis such as the General Medical Council, the Nursing and Midwifery Council and non-governmental-based, such as the Royal Colleges. However, political and operational responsibility for healthcare lies with four national executives; healthcare in Staynes and Caltharus is the responsibility of the Morstaybishlian Government; healthcare in South Staynes is the responsibility of the South Staynish Assembly, and healthcare in Justelvard is the responsibility of the Justelvardic Assembly.


==Culture==
==Culture==

The culture of Great Morstaybishlia has been influenced by many factors including: the nation's Auroran status; its history as a western liberal democracy and as a superpower; as well as being a political union of four countries with each preserving elements of distinctive traditions, customs and symbolism. As a result of the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]], Morstaybishlian influence can be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former and current colonies including [[Kuthernburg]], [[Louzaria]], [[New Calth]], [[Axdel]], [[Joralesia]], [[Atiland]], [[Lokania]], [[Vivancantadia]], [[Rufuina]] and parts of [[East Malaysia]] and [[Nation/The Oan Isles|The Oan Isles]]. The substantial cultural influence of Great Morstaybishlia has led it to be described as a "cultural superpower". A global opinion poll for the [[MBC]] saw Great Morstaybishlia ranked the third most positively viewed nation in the world (behind [[West Cerdani]] and [[East Malaysia]]) in 2014 and 2015.


===Literature===
===Literature===
[[File:Riannius Belver.jpg|right|thumb|175px|Riannius Belver, the founding father of Morstaybishlian literature]]
The earliest Morstaybishlian literature dates from the early Middle Ages during the [[Staynes#Second Interregnum Period|Second Interregnum Period]], when what is now known as modern Staynes did not have a single, uniform language. There was several languages and dialects, and writers used their own spelling and grammar. During the Middle Staynish language period, most literature was written in the same language except for splinter dialects in what is now Horkalo and South Staynes.


===Architecture===
Much medieval Staynish poetry and literature were inspired by the legends of [[Pip the Gallant]] and his predecessors in the [[Staynnica|Kingdom of Staynnica]]. Other medieval poetry and literature hailing from Caltharus depicts the legendary Colonarius and other historical military figures.


Carungite traditional architecture is characterized by thatched roofs and heated floors called, "Ondol". (Ondol is an underfloor heating that uses direct heat transfer from wood smoke to heat the underside of a thick masonry floor. When a fire was lit in the furnace to cook food for dinner, the flame would extend horizontally because the flue entry was beside the furnace. This arrangement was essential, as it would not allow the smoke to travel upward, which would cause the flame to go out too soon. As the flame would pass through the flue entrance, it would be guided through the network of passages with the smoke. Entire rooms would be built on the furnace flue to create ondol floored rooms.)
After the printing press was introduced in Caltharus and later Staynes in 1475, [[wikipedia:Vernacular literature|vernacular literature]] flourished. During this period, theatrical playwrights portrayed romances, tragedies, comedies and histories became very common. Morstaybishlian literature and poetry flourished even more in the 18th and 19th centuries where things like arts, sciences, languages and philosophy were very popular as well as children's fairy tales becoming widespread. The age of reason bought with it a rational and scientific approach to religious, social, political and economic issues that promoted a secular view of the world and a general sense of progress and perfectibility. Led by the philosophers who were inspired by the discoveries of the previous century they sought to discover and to act upon universally valid principles governing humanity, nature, and society. They variously attacked spiritual and scientific authority, dogmatism, intolerance, censorship, and economic and social restraints. They considered the state the proper and rational instrument of progress. The extreme rationalism and skepticism of the age led naturally to deism and also played a part in bringing the later reaction of romanticism.


People of the upper classes built larger houses with elegantly curved and tiled roofs with lifting eaves.
The Romantic period was one of major social change in Staynes (at the time included South Staynes) and Caltharus, because of the depopulation of the countryside and the rapid development of overcrowded industrial cities, that took place in the period roughly between 1750 and 1850. The movement of so many people in Staynes and Caltharus was the result of two forces: the Agricultural Revolution, that involved the Enclosure of the land, drove workers off the land, and the Industrial Revolution which provided them employment. Romanticism may be seen in part as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, though it was also a revolt against aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment, as well a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature.


===Music===
During the reigns of [[Florence II]], [[Frederick III]] and [[Rosamund II]] (1810-1897) the novel became the leading literary genre in Staynish. Women played an important part in this rising popularity both as authors and as readers. Satirical novels and plays were very common. Poetry of this era was heavily influenced by the romantics, but also went off in its own directions. Particularly notable was the development of [[wikipedia:Dramatic monologue|dramatic monologue]], a form used by many poets in this period. Drama changed in this period with a profusion on Bursil stage of [[wikipedia:Farce|farces]], [[wikipedia:Victorian burlesque|musical burlesques]], [[wikipedia:extravaganzas|extravaganzas]] and [[wikipedia:comic operas|comic operas]].


(WIP)
Morstaybishlian literary modernism developed in the early twentieth-century out of a general sense of disillusionment with previous attitudes of certainty, conservatism and belief in the idea of objective truth. Fine writers still existed into this period.

The modernist movement continued through the 1920s, 1930s and beyond. An important development, beginning in the 1930s and 1940s was a tradition of working class novels actually written by working-class background writers. Post-modernism started in the late 1940s and early 1950s which is a continuation of the experimentation championed by writers of the modernist period (relying heavily, for example, on fragmentation, paradox, questionable narrators, etc.) and a reaction against Enlightenment ideas implicit in Modernist literature. Postmodern literature, like postmodernism as a whole, is difficult to define and there is little agreement on the exact characteristics, scope, and importance of postmodern literature.

Many works published in the twentieth-century were examples of [[wikipedia:genre fiction|genre fiction]]. This designation includes the crime novels, spy novel, historical romance, fantasy, graphic novel and science fiction.

===Music===
[[File:12 Hole Ocarina.jpg|right|thumb|150px|The [[wikipedia:Ocarina|Ocarina]] originated from Morstaybishlia]]
Throughout its history, Great Morstaybishlian has been a major producer and source of musical creation, drawing its artistic basis from the history of Great Morstaybishlia.


===Art===
Each of the four countries of Great Morstaybishlia has its own diverse and distinctive folk music forms. Folk music flourished until the era of industrialisation when it began to be replaced by new forms of popular music, including music hall and brass bands. Realisation of this led to three folk revivals, one in the late-19th century, one in the mid-20th century and one at the start of the 21st century which keeps folk music as an important sub-culture within society.


Carung is most notable for its exquisite pottery. Decoration techniques such as relief carving, intaglio carving, iron oxide glaze, openwork, and copper oxide glaze became in use with a background of light-brown to celadon pottery. Moreover, Carungite artisans refined a technique of decorating the surfaces of objects with mother-of-pearl and tortoiseshell inlays. Used to form parts of larger designs, small pieces of tortoiseshell were painted on the underside in red and yellow; the painted colors would show through the translucent shell, creating a gemlike quality. Another characteristic feature of Carungite inlay lacquer design is the use of single- and double-twisted wire. Made of silver or copper alloy, these wires served to create leaf branches, flower stems, decorative borders, and contour lines.
Forms of popular music, including folk music, jazz, rapping/hip hop, pop and rock music, have particularly flourished in Great Morstaybishlia since the twentieth century. Morstaybishlia has influenced popular music disproportionately to its size, due to its linguistic and cultural links with many countries, particularly East Malaysia and Emberwood Coast and many of its former colonies, and its capacity for invention, innovation and fusion, which has led to the development of, or participation in, many of the major trends in popular music. In the early-20th century, influences from East Malaysia and Free Pacific States became most dominant in popular music, with young performers producing their own versions of South East Yasterian music, including rock n' roll from the late 1950s and developing a parallel music scene. This is particularly true since the early 1960s when the Morstaybishlian Invasion, led by The Swallows, helped to secure Morst performers a major place in development of pop and rock music. Since then, rock music and popular music contributed to a Morst-SEY collaboration, with genres being exchanged and exported to one another, where they tended to be adapted and turned into new movements, only to be exported back again. Genres originating in or radically developed by Morstaybishlian musicians include blues rock, heavy metal, progressive rock, ska, hard rock, punk rock, Bhangra, British folk rock, folk punk, acid jazz, trip hop, shoegaze, drum and bass, goth rock, grime, afroswing, Britpop, Industrial and dubstep.


The nine tribes before the formation of Carung did not have a tradition of preserving artwork, but there have been a few paintings depicting the use of arrows to hunt on horseback, a term known as, “Carungite Shot”.

Morstaybishlian cuisine is the heritage of cooking traditions and practices associated with Great Morstaybishlia. Although Morstaybishlia has a rich indigenous culinary tradition, its colonial history has profoundly enriched its native cooking traditions. Morst cuisine absorbed the cultural influences of its post-colonial territories – in particular those of the Concordian Ocean area.


Carungite cuisine has many significant regional dishes that have proliferated in different variations across the country. It is largely based on meat and fish, such as venison, cattle, seals, salmon, cod, and pike. Traditional Carungite meals are noted for the number of side dishes, which accompany the various kinds of meat., Fermented, spicy vegetables are commonly served at every meal to provide energy to the Carungites living in their cold environment.
Some traditional meals, such as bread and cheese, roasted and stewed meats, meat and game pies, boiled vegetables and broths, fruit pies, and freshwater and saltwater fish have ancient origins.

Soups are also a common part of a Carungite meal and are served as part of the main course rather than at the beginning or the end of the meal. Soups are often made with meats, shellfish, and vegetables.
Morstaybishlian cooking has been influenced by foreign ingredients and cooking styles since the Middle Ages. [[wikipedia:Squid sandwich|Squid baguettes]] (formerly known as ''squid breads'') were introduced from [[New Leganes]] and adapted to Morst tastes from the eighteenth century. [[Acronis|Acronian]] cuisine influenced Morst recipes throughout the late 17th and early 18th centuries, most notably [[wikipedia:Ceviche#Preparation and variants|Sevišala]]. After the rationing of the [[Great War]], Packilvanian cuisine became heavily popular, featuring meals which mainly featured rice with easy to cultivate root vegetables and pea variants. Another popular Packilvanian dish was [[wikipedia:Tajine|Tajine]] when meats became more easily available.

===Media===
Some of the most popular savoury dishes that originated from Great Morstaybishlia include [[wikipedia:Sausage Toad|Sausage toad]] (''Frog in the Pit''), Roast Lamb with roast roots and coriander, [[wikipedia:Pasty|Pasty]], and pies of all sorts, including but not limited to [[wikipedia:Chicken and mushroom pie|Chicken and mushroom pie]], [[wikipedia:Steak and kidney pie|Steak and kidney pie]], [[wikipedia:Fish_pie#Royal fish pie|Fish pie]] and [[wikipedia:Shepherd's pie|Morst pie]].


In addition to its wine tradition, Great Morstaybishlia is also a major producer of beer and whiskey. The three main Morstaybishlian brewing regions are Oglota (55% of national production), Calthia and Surbila. Morstaybishlia produces whiskey via distilleries located on islands such as Frorkstolm, the [[Morstaybishlian West Pacific Territories|West Pacific Territories]] and the [[Seligeze Islands]].

Some popular sweet dishes that originated in Great Morstaybishlia include [[Hobstiberry|Hobstiberry pie]], [[wikipedia:Banoffee pie|Banoffee pie]], [[wikipedia:Trifle|Trifle]] and [[wikipedia:Derby pie|Chocolate and walnut pie]]. Hobstiberry pie was quick to spread around Urth due to the cultivation of hobstiberries across the Morstaybishlian Empire, and its simplicity to make.

===Media===
The [[MBC]], founded in 1917, is Great Morstaybishlia's publicly funded radio, television and Internet broadcasting corporation, and is the oldest and largest broadcaster in the world. It operates numerous television and radio stations in the MBE and abroad and its domestic services are funded by the television licence. Other major players in the MBE media include STV- a media conglomerate of national broadcasters and newspapers, and the CTV, who themselves dominate the media scene in Caltharus since the 1930s. Sani Bursil dominates the media sector in the MBE: national newspapers and television and radio are largely based there, although Aeternum is also a significant national media centre. Kirdintayos and Valeron, and Port Makuh, are important centres of newspaper and broadcasting production in South Staynes and Justelvard respectively. The MBE publishing sector, including books, directories and databases, journals, magazines and business media, newspapers and news agencies, has a combined turnover of around £141 billion and employs around 1.1 million people.

The Great Empire of Carung, commonly known as Carung (Carungite: 가륭태국; Ka-Ryung-Tae-Gook) is a country in Novaris, an island that shares no borders with other nations but has Nosalis Sea to the south as well as Barrington Strait to the southeast. Towards west, there exist the following islands: Mexregiona, Infinite Loop, and Novari Rotatic Research Territory; towards south, there exist Raktussia, Lunaeria, and finally, towards east, there exist the following countries: Kuthernburg and Alyunthia. The country is situated in between 120o W and 80o W, and is divided into mainland in the south and frostland, also known as tundra, in the north.

Carung is an absolute monarchy with an Emperor ruling above the Bujok, which can be regarded as being similar to a legislative system. The current monarch is Deoksoo-Gan (Emperor Deoksoo), who has reigned since 2000 and the heir apparent is Weol-Myeong Taeja(Taeja means, "Heir" in Carungite.). The capital is Seoreul, the largest city in Carung having a population of five million. Seoreul has been the main city of Carung since its founding in 7197 BCE, having a long tradition of being a symbol of nationality.

Carung has been founded in 7197 BCE with a myth that two people, also known as Sung-In(성인), Naban and Aman, drank from a mysterious lake within the country and lived long enough to produce multiple descendants, enough to create a large tribe, which eventually formed Carung. This is the reason the early Carungite rulers and people lived for hundreds of years. However, as climate change during the ancient times wreaked havoc physically and biologically amongst those people, their life spans have been significantly reduced to less than a hundred years per person.

By 0 AD, due to internal conflicts, the nation was divided into tribes, and the most bold tribal leaders seceded to create unions, which later became large clans. Chaos persisted for fifty-seven years, until the tribal leader of Biri, the most powerful of the eight divided tribes, promised equal grant of territory and wealth, prcolaiming equality. Peace ensued, therefore, and it took until 330 AD for royal authority to be solidified for the tribes to unite and form a kingdom, and then until 645 AD for the kingdom to form an empire, proclaiming the descendant of the Biri tribe to become an emperor.

Carung is a highly developed country, ranked third highest in Novaris after Arkalarius and Karolingia. It has the world's twelfth-largest economy by nominal GDP. Its citizens enjoy one of the world's fastest Internet connection speeds and the most dense high-speed railway network. The country is the world's fifth-largest exporter and eighth-largest importer. Since the 21st century, Carung has been renowned for its globally influential pop culture, particularly in music (Carungite Pop), TV dramas and cinema, a phenomenon referred to as the Carungite Wave.

Etymology and terminology

The name, "Carung" (가륭), means, "nation of prosperity", in Carungite. "Ca-" (가) means "to add", and "-rung" (륭) means "prosperity". Together, those two words means, "adding to prosperity", thus great prosperity.

History

The first trace of Carungite history can be dated back to when two humans, Naban and Aman, drank from a mysterious lake, resulting in their descendants burgeoning in population. However, even to this day, the exact date of their first appearance is unknown. According to Carung Sagi (The Annals of Carungite History: 가륭사기), first traces of humans can date back to around 2.5 million years ago, a presence of a human group known as, "Carungoid". The Carungoids travelled in groups forming clans throughout the Carungite territory, or the island, and eventually formed a unified clan in 7197 BCE, naming it, "Carung". There has been a leader at that time; however, he did not have full royal authority as Emperors have had since 645 AD. From 7197 BCE until the unification of state and religion in 2333 BCE, there have been seven leaders reigning the clan.

From the thirtieth century BCE to twentieth century BCE, the power of the clan leader reduced significantly, as there have been many people adhering to animism and totemism, forming their own religious factions and not adhering to the orders of their leader. They were called the, "Ancient Religious Factions", whereas, the sphere of the leader was called the. "Ancient Political Faction". The rift worsened during the reign of Ansung-Gan around 2350-2333 BCE, when the ancient religious faction outright rejected to bow down to him, when he was travelling outside his palace in front of his citizens. Having wisdom, Ansung-Gan avoided forceful subjugation. Instead, he embraced the ancient religious faction and allowed worship of natural beings and animals. This is the unification of state and religion in 2333 BCE.

The clan met its nadir during 200 BCE to 0 AD, when different tribal leaders began to secede from the clan with a significant number of armed men. Firstly, in 198 BCE, towards the east of Carung, a new tribed named Yangoon was formed. In 193 BCE, Yangoon fractured into Gumachan, Ilgoon, and Seonbi, after a rebellion, which nearly assassinated the leader of the Yangoon tribe, who was discriminating the far eastern Carungites by dialect and appearance. In 192 BCE, when Gumachan, Ilgoon, and Seonbi re-arranged their military and had their people settled well within their vicinity, they prepared to attack Yangoon; however, they revoked their plan, after their request for support from the Carungite clan has been rejected. The Carungite clan did not want to create chaos amongst its people.

Peace has been sustained until 9 BCE, when Uru declared independence from Biri in western Carung, as opposed to the already fractured eastern Carung. Gethyonhan declared independence soon after in the same year, as they had been waiting to do so for the past few years. Gumoac, in the far west, declared independence in 4 BCE. Biri, sensing that they could be overwhelmed by the fractured states, had the leaders of all seven tribes gathered in the state during 0 AD and all of the eight tribes promised equal treatment of each of the tribes, territory, resources, and peace. Biri was able to spare itself from the danger of being conquered by the seven tribes, and the seven tribes were able to gain enough territory and resources to be satisfied as to not risk warfare. This is the Proclamation of Equality.

In 330 AD, after a unanimous decision by the Bujok, Carung ascended as Kingdom of Carung during the reign of Dongseo-Gan. Afterwards, in 645 AD, during the reign of Joojan-Gan, Carung ascended into an empire. Joojan-Gan became the first proclaimed Emperor.

Geography

Biodiversity and Environment

While the northern regions of Carung contain permafrost, preventing the growth of forests, grasslands, and other ecosystems, the southern regions are more tolerant. Coniferous and mixed forests, and grasslands exist. There are various kinds of mammals, but horses are especially common, as many of them can be spotted all around southern Carung.

Climate

Most southwestern areas of the country experience a humid continental climate. Most of southeastern and northern areas of the country have a subarctic climate, with extremely severe winters with the record low temperature of −69 °C or −92.2 °F, and more moderate elsewhere.

The northern shore have a polar climate, also known as ice cap climate, and tundra climate. Southwestern part of the country possesses a humid subtropical climate with unusually wet winters. Winter is dry compared to summer in many regions, while certain areas experience more even precipitation across seasons. Winter precipitation in most parts of the country usually falls as snow. Southeastern area of the country possess a semi-arid climate.

About 55% of the Russian territory is underlain by permafrost.

Politics

The Empire of Carung consists of an Emperor and twelve tribal leaders (Bujok) who autonomously rule their respective regions. Each tribal leader is responsible for their economic, military, and social affairs of their regions and are required to report them to the Emperor on a monthly basis.

Architecture

Carungite traditional architecture is characterized by thatched roofs and heated floors called, "Ondol". (Ondol is an underfloor heating that uses direct heat transfer from wood smoke to heat the underside of a thick masonry floor. When a fire was lit in the furnace to cook food for dinner, the flame would extend horizontally because the flue entry was beside the furnace. This arrangement was essential, as it would not allow the smoke to travel upward, which would cause the flame to go out too soon. As the flame would pass through the flue entrance, it would be guided through the network of passages with the smoke. Entire rooms would be built on the furnace flue to create ondol floored rooms.)

People of the upper classes built larger houses with elegantly curved and tiled roofs with lifting eaves.

Music

Art

Carung is most notable for its exquisite pottery. Decoration techniques such as relief carving, intaglio carving, iron oxide glaze, openwork, and copper oxide glaze became in use with a background of light-brown to celadon pottery. Moreover, Carungite artisans refined a technique of decorating the surfaces of objects with mother-of-pearl and tortoiseshell inlays. Used to form parts of larger designs, small pieces of tortoiseshell were painted on the underside in red and yellow; the painted colors would show through the translucent shell, creating a gemlike quality. Another characteristic feature of Carungite inlay lacquer design is the use of single- and double-twisted wire. Made of silver or copper alloy, these wires served to create leaf branches, flower stems, decorative borders, and contour lines.

The nine tribes before the formation of Carung did not have a tradition of preserving artwork, but there have been a few paintings depicting the use of arrows to hunt on horseback, a term known as, “Carungite Shot”.
