Mandai

Mandai was given to Sinsu traders by the people of Animata to prevent piracy. This otherwise useless conglomeration of rock grew into an important trade centre for the seas surrounding the islands, allowing Mandai to eventually grow wealthy and, more recently, declare independent from the east.

Despite being a very small and very isolated country, Mandai is a nation built on working with new people and thriving on trade.

Government
The Free Republic of Mandai is a unitary semi-presidential republic. The head of state, the Premier, is directly-elected. The head of government, the Chief Minister, is whoever commands a majority in both chambers of Parliament. The lower chamber is the Chamber of Deputies whereas the upper chamber is the House of Shangren.

There have been seven Premiers and seven Chief Ministers since 2000. The longest-serving Premier has been Ghaliya Najjar, who has served since 2022, and the longest-serving Chief Minister has been Porsche Marquardt, who has served since 2024.
