Political Parties of The Malboryan Republic
Before 2010, Malborya was a two-party state where the parliament only had two parties; Malborya First Party and Alternative for Malborya. After the 2009 protests, the government gave permission to other parties to participate in all elections.
Malborya First Party (1985 - present) - Centre-right, Catholic, ruling party since 2008, popular among middle class workers and apolitical people.
Alternative for Malborya (1989 - present) - Centre-left, non-religious. Claims that if any decision made by a human does not affect nor interfere with other's lives, it must be defended.
Workers Party (1997 - present) - Created as an activist group in 1997 under the name of "The One-Eyed Eagle". In 2011, the group was disbanded to create Workers Party. This party supports extensive rights to the working class. Popular among the youth who think Alternative for Malborya is not enough for them.
Party for Our Mother (2007 - present) - Far-right, Catholic, extremist, anti-EU. Controversial for repeated xenophobic statements against Protestants and Inko-Malboryans. Semi-popular among the country folk. Created in 2007 as an organization. Became a party in 2010.

Malbory - Capital City of The Malboryan Republic
Ever since Malborya became a united country around the 14th century, Malbory has been the capital city ever since. It was created by Melba and Borva tribes around the 9th century. The city was called "Melkaborvia" until the 14th century when Queen Maevicus took over, eventually re-naming it "Malbory" and creating the first unified Malboryan state shortly after. Since then, Malbory has kept its significance as a capital city in Malborya.
Due to holding the current Malboryan parliament, making up about 30% of the GDP and having 1/3 of the Malboryan population, Malbory has a nickname: The Heart of Malborya. It is that city which every Malboryan wants to visit, live or maybe work. It's incredibly diverse and not uncommon to see Inquistans and Red Croats working peacefully, or Nicoleizians selling the goods from Saint Pierre, in the famous bazaar of Malbory. The city has been influenced by countries and tribes all over. You can see an Inquistan Orthodox church in one street, a Red Croatian castle in another. In Malbory, there are many palaces from different dynasties that used to rule Malborya, waiting for visitors from everywhere to come over and visit!
Malbory is one of the hotspots when it comes to education, as it holds one of the oldest universities in all of Malborya, University of Malbory, as well as the largest library in all of Malborya, The Great Library of Malborya. Most sources say that in Malbory, over 60% of the women and 50% of the men have at least one university degree. Malboryens love classic music. Throughout the year, there are many orchestras taking place in arenas like Mother Anna Music Hall. However, the most memorable one would be Orcefest, where various orchestras all around Europe play in Malbory to impress the Malboryen and improve their creativity. Throughout history, Malbory gave us memorable composers like Oçelle, Verdine, Clarina van Vertogen and many, many more.

Acelany - The City of Tranquility
Formerly called Aqualin until Third Malboryan Republic, the city of Acelany is one of the most colourful and young cities in Malborya. It's relaxed and green atmosphere is what the young adults need, to stay away from stress and anxiety as much as possible. Founded by the Northern Duke, Carl Vernetti and his friends in the 11th century, Acelany was a small republic, earning money from mostly agriculture. This continued until the 15th century when King Sezaeticus bought the city from Acelaniers and added it to Malboryan state borders. It is not common to find middle-aged adults around here. They all move to other cities to find better jobs, meanwhile Acelany keeps its population of 500 thousand, mostly either old, retired people or young people at education, all there for one thing: Peace. And maybe... some EuroVoice, hosted by good old Emilie Marie Louise.
Acelaniers have a reputation of being nice to mostly everyone! It's not hard to pick one and have a small chat. It will make their day. Don't go too deep, though, as Acelaniers also keep a lot of details about their life a secret, some of which most Malboryans would not mind sharing. It is also said that they also make the greatest beer in Malborya, which they like doing, as they have around 150 breweries all around the city. Acelaniers take their trees very seriously, so if you're going to cut a tree there, you must have really good reasoning.

Capital punishment in Malborya
Taken from The Malboryan Republic Wiki.
Capital punishment in Malborya was last abolished after the fall of the Democratic State of Malborya in 1977. Even under the authoritarian rule of Drava Centreo, many death sentences given by lower courts were turned down by higher courts, mostly Courta Suprema. According to the governmental records at the time, only 210 people were executed under Centreo's regime, though the numbers remain unclear due to the secrecy of these statistics at the time. However, most human rights organizations in Malborya argue that over 1200 people were executed under the regime, both directly and indirectly.
Before the Democratic State, capital punishment was abolished in 1930, after a 14-year moratorium on death penalties issued by Parlamenta at the time.
The Malboryan Realm (1775-1879)
Burning was the most common method of the death penalty in The Malboryan Realm. During this period, many crimes could be punishable by death, which are: witchcraft; murder; stealing valuable goods; political dissidence; corruption; rape; treason; espionage; arson; attempting a death-eligible crime; rebellion; conspiracy to seize power; desertion; illegal border crossing; heavily injuring a human; kidnapping; burning the symbols of the Realm; disrupting industry and/or trade; making fun of the King or Queen and their royal family and general crimes against the Realm. In 2014, a written book from the 17th century was found near Victoria-Rosetta border, which claims that in 18th of August 1829, 1279 people were executed on a single day for the crimes of terrorism. Even the royal family wasn't safe from execution, as Prince Convello was executed in 1789 for corruption at the age of 29.
First Malboryan Republic (1879-1906) and Second Malboryan Republic (1906-1945)
In the First Malboryan Republic, hanging was the preferred method of execution instead of burning. The Concillera Dicernea outright banned burning as an execution method in 1881. The number of crimes punishable by the death penalty was also drastically reduced around this time, with many death sentences getting turned down by the Courta Suprema.
The Second Malboryan Republic was the first Malboryan state to outright abolish the death penalty in 1930, though there was an unofficial moratorium on capital punishment since 1914.
Democratic State of Malborya (1945-1977)
Though it was common to get death sentences under the Democratic State, it was seldom to see actual death sentences. However, the exact numbers on how many people were executed under Centreo are unknown. There was no clear law on which crimes could receive capital punishment, and it is alleged that people who have shown the slightest bit of political dissidence were secretly executed. However, none of this can be proven because of the Parlamenta, along with all the documents of the regime being destroyed in 1976 during the Inquistan invasion. In a series of recovered documents from 1969 which was found in a tax office in Lachte (then Mureacana) revealed that a woman (whose details were expunged) was burned to death, even though it was still a banned method of execution at that time. The reason for the given sentence was labelled as "domestic terrorism".
Third and Fourth Malboryan Republic (1977-present)
After the Inquistan invasion in 1977, capital punishment was abolished for all crimes, and all prisoners on the death row got their death sentences turned into life sentences. In 1989, the debate of bringing back capital punishment arose, destroying the one-party system at the time, creating Malborya First Party and Alternative For Malborya. However, as Malborya built better relations with the European Union at the start of the 21st century, the support for the death penalty diminished, even from the supporters of the MFP. After Malborya joined the European Union in 2019, prime minister Luca Eusebiu told MBOTV that capital punishment was "off the table forever for Malborya".
