January 22nd, 5739

For decades, Malivia has been under a period of relative quiet. Ever since the 5643 Coup, the country has been firmly ruled by the right wing nationalist, and autocratic, Amaro Drom (Our Way). While largely being isolationist in global affairs, much less Artanian affairs or regional affairs, this isolationism has started to bite the country as the economy has, for quite some time faced a period of stagnation. The so called Lost Decade (5730-present) has seen the harshest of economic downturn for the Malivian State. Over the decade, protests and strikes have been common (as has unemployment) but overall, they've been contained or countered enough to not threaten the government of Trisoka Nandi, the current Rom Baro (literally "Great Man") of Malivia. However, such authoritarian measures can only go so far. Within the Amaro Drom, there has been pressure for some form of economic stimulus to try to revitalize the economy, as the balance of power remains quite fragile. Too fragile. All can take for the house of cards established is another economic downturn and suddenly, the protests will escalate as the unemployment lines get longer.
Internally, the Amaro Drom has been torn between maintaining the status quo and embracing mild reforms to ensure economic recovery, and counter unemployment and stagnation. However with the country's isolation, and lack of taking advantage of the Migrants Pass, reforms would have to see an end of isolationism and some integration into the wider global market. However, economic downturn isn't the only issue as the Amaro Drom has, for decades, pursued Manoush nationalism, which has only deteriorated relations between ethnic groups in the country.
With various issues affecting the Malivian State, many within Amaro Drom are throwing their lot in with Reformists, hoping to eke out a majority in the Amaro Drom Congress later this year before the economy takes another nosedive. After all, an unpopular government is only tolerated if the economy is good. And the Malivian economy has been anything but good. It's been hanging on by threads.
It's no secret that public discontent has been slowly rising due to the lackluster economy. Amongst the plethora of protests, there have been one uniting factor behind them all. Calls for reform and democracy. The calls for some form of democratization and ending autocratic rule has only been growing steadily over the decade, and because of the Lost Decade, many Malivians have found it hard to support the current regime. Still, with the economy hanging on, there isn't a total absence of loyalty. Not yet at least.
