Union of Margatia

The Union of Margatia (Also known as The Union of Margatia and Greater Malaya or Margatia) is a democratic sovereign state located in Southeast Asia. The country includes the Malayan Peninsular, the island of Sumatera and the northern regions of the island of Borneo. The mainland (Malayan Peninsular) is separated from Sumatera by the Malaccan strait, while the Bornean regions are across the South China Sea. The Malayan Peninsular has the unique feature of being the southernmost tip of mainland Asia.

=History= Records dating back 70 days show that Margatia was a colony formed at the tip of the Malayan Peninsular. This location, in what was to become modern day Johapore, was frequented by travellers and merchants due to its strategic location in between the Indian Ocean and South China Sea. The colony prospered enormously from trade and attracted the attentions of The AA of AA. The leader of the colony, Resident Hafiz was attracted by the proposal of alliance membership into The AA of AA and within days the documents were signed.

Margatia was officially renamed as the Union of Margatia and began its transition into a full-fledged democratic state. Resident Hafiz entered his new role as Prime Minister of The Union with pledges to protect the needs of the people and ensure economic prosperity. With development packages gifted by The AA of AA, Margatia soon overwhelmed itself with an abundance of modern infrastructure
