Morodavia is a high income multi-party democracy with strong civil and political protections, guaranteed by the provisions of the Morodavian Constitution.

Prehistory
Morodavia was first inhabited by mixtures of both Auene and Thanic people s living along rivers such as the River Meitz and the River Szeny beginning in the 12,000s BCE as the two cultures settled the region. Archeologists claim that many wars were fought between the two groups over the land of the area as the boundaries of the various tribes shifted around for centuries.

However, as the tide of Gaardic people flooded into Avanor in the 500s BCE, many peoples native to lands east of Morodavia, named the Mordavii peoples, were forced to relocate westward to avoid subjugation. These peoples eventually found home in Morodavia, where they opportunistically settled after a particularly bloody tribal war in the area weakened many of the Auene and Thanic tribes.

As the Morodavii people began to envelop and blend with the Auene and Thanic tribes, the wars between the various tribes would begin to dwindle in number until eventually, as the Thanes marched on Augustine at the late 100s CE, the peoples of Morodavia united for protection from the coming warlords.

Government and Politics
Morodavia is a federal constitutional republic under a parliamentary system, governed under the provisions found within the Constitution of Morodavia. The constitution divides the government between the federal and regional governments, with each of them being organized into governments with three branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch.

The constitution grants specific powers to the regional governments under Section 2 of the constitution, and tasks them with certain obligations and further responsibilities. The exclusive powers of the federal government include defense, foreign affairs, immigration, citizenship, communications, and currency standards, whereas the states have exclusive jurisdiction on the police (excluding federal police), most of education, the press, freedom of assembly, public housing, prisons and media affairs, among others. According to the constitution, powers not explicitly given to the federal government through law are regional powers - though several issues are governed on a regional and federal level, including, but not limited to: business law, civil law, welfare, taxation, consumer protection, public holidays, and public health.

The Federal Assembly is the 205 member unicameral parliament of Morodavia. The Federal Assembly is elected to three year terms through a system of ranked choice voting, where every region gets a set number of Assembly Members based on census data every five years, and the citizens of each region select the parties and candidates they wish to represent them in the federal parliament. The Assembly has the right to legislate for the federal government, elect and oversee the prime minister and cabinet, approve the Prime Minister's budget, declare war, and approve treaties and foreign agreements.

Currently the federal government recognizes 6 political parties to run in elections across Morodavia, which occur every three years and are administered by the Federal Electoral Commission. Kende Olivér has served as the incumbent Prime Minister of Morodavia since the 1922 General Election in which his Social Democratic Party won a majority with his Green Party allies. The Oliver I Cabinet has governed through a series of crises, including the ongoing Korashan Wars, which his government has pledged to withdraw Morodavian participation from, as well as the government declaring climate change an "ongoing humanitarian crisis".

The Morodavian government under Oliver has refused to accept more refugees, even as countries such as South Korasha, the Spice Coast, and organizations such as the Union of Nations and the Avanor Union have pleaded with Avanoran nations to agree to take in more asylum seekers. The government has expanded Morodavia's nuclear power plants, despite Green Party opposition to the move, and has promised that Morodavia will remove its dependence on oil in the coming decade.

The Morodavian government has also moved to decrease public spending in areas such as military and law enforcement, and directing more funds towards climate change goals and social welfare and development. Since 1922, under the Oliver I Government, Morodavia has built nearly 100,000 new units in social housing.

Military
The Morodavian Armed Forces (Morodaviai fegyveres erők) are the main defensive force protecting Morodavia. Though the Morodavian Constitution restricts the military to purely defensive operations, the Morodavian Armed Forces have maintained relatively strong capabilities.
