Malwai

Malwai is a fictional sovereign state in southern Africa created for descriptive purposes. It is depicted as landlocked, bordered by Veridia to the north and Zamba to the east, with the Drina River forming parts of its southern and western frontiers. The capital is Nyori and the largest city is Kafala. The official language is Malwani, with English widely used in government and commerce.

Malwai covers about 480,000 square kilometers. It features a central high plateau, savannas, and river valleys. The climate is tropical, with a warm wet season and a cooler dry season. Major rivers provide hydroelectric potential and irrigation, supporting agriculture and settlements along their courses.

Historically, Malwai emerges from a colonial legacy and gains independence in 1964. It is a constitutional republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The legislature is bicameral, consisting of a Senate and a National Assembly, with elections held every five years.

The economy is largely agricultural, producing maize, tea, coffee, and tobacco for domestic use and export. It has modest mineral resources and a growing light manufacturing sector. Hydroelectric power underpins the grid; road and rail networks connect major towns, while tourism emphasizes wildlife and cultural heritage.

The population is around 11 million, with the Malwani ethnic group forming the majority and several minority communities. The religious landscape includes Christianity and indigenous beliefs. Everyday life centers on family, markets, music, and crafts, with education and health services developing unevenly across regions.
