Santa Malin

Santa Malin (also called St. Malin), officially the Social Democratic Republic of Santa Malin is an island nation in western Europe and a member of the Alliance of Independent Nations.

History
Santa Malin was first formed in the 14th century by Tsar Vilet Democi.

The country remained a monarchy until 1892 when the people sparked a revolution against the tsar. The revolution led to the pause of economic activity in the kingdom, and as a result starvation and violence ensued. In 1893, workers in the kingdom perpetuated the revolution, causing the military to call for a civil war and retaliate against the people.

The civil war ended in 1896 when the ruling tsar was killed in battle. Lacking any sort of loyalty, the tsar's army united with the people of Santa Malin and created a provisional government.

Formation of modern St. Malin
The first democratic election in Santa Malin was held in 1901. The election involved four parties - Social Democratic Party, the Royal Party, the Marxist Party and the Believers Party.

The Social Democratic Party triumphed in the 1901 elections and set forth a series of reforms. As a partially communist party, they instated the allowance of unions as well as higher taxes and a variety of social services.

In 1941, an economic crisis revolving around St. Malin's fishing sector fueled labor strikes which eventually led to the splitting of the Social Democratic Party. In the election following the breakup, the Social Democratic Party was forced to hand over power to the Marxist Party.

In 1945, the Marxist Party proposed that the Social Democratic Party merge and create a larger, dominant party in St. Malin. The parties united and formed the Our Front Party which currently presides over the country.

Economy
Santa Malin operates on a centrally planned socialist economy. The country imposes a substantial tax burden on it's residents, but in return provides a vast arrangement of social services. Free public education, free healthcare and family subsidies have been provided to the citizens of St. Malin since 1901.

The country's economy is reliant on the manufacture of Motor Vehicles as well as Pharmaceuticals, Paper and Wool.
