Madagascar was once an autocracy under the rule of aTerraAustralis.  Cloaked Eagle resumed leadership a month after the nation was formed, and established a Constitutional Monarchy. From previously being a political dictatorship, Cloaked Eagle implemented reforms to pursue a democratic society. A parliament with ministers was created to manage sectors of national interest such as infrastructure, along with the appointment of Chancellors to assist the Monarch in the day to day running of Madagascar  

Madagascar is currently a joint Monarchy-Admiralty Oligarchy of unelected Chancellors. This method of governing is incredibly stable and causes Madagascar to feel much more like a community of players rather than a nation, at the cost of preventing normal players from having a say in how the community is managed, for the most part. There are plans to create a "government" consisted of elected players, but this would be entirely community-oriented and would not have a major impact on current national policies and how the nation is ruled (for example, there will be no foreign ministry nor an economic ministry, but there would be ministries for culture and infrastructure.)

For the majority of the time, Madagascar is jointly lead by Queen PoppyKai and King CloakedEagle. In-game leadership flips back and forth between the two whenever required, such as if one needed to leave Sainte-Marie temporarily.

 

_Krazy_ was the sole King for just under 3 months between June 15th 2020 and September 14th 2020 when Poppy wanted a break from the constant hassle that comes from being leader of Madagascar, the hassle coming mostly from players outside of Madagascar.

Madagascar's Foreign Policy follows a concept called 'Peace in Neutrality, Neutrality in Peace' where Madagascar is willing to allow any and every nation to ally in-game so that players from almost every nation may tp to trade, no matter the alliances and rivalries anywhere else in the server, so long as a nation's resident(s) do not cause problems towards Madagascar such as killing in claims using fireworks, killing in the wilderness, stealing and scamming Madagascans etc etc. As a result, Madagascar does not enter into any alliances whatsoever, remaining completely neutral and does not declare nor enter into any wars unless declared war upon by a foreign power. Sainte Marie is a neutral trading port open to anyone and everyone for trade, it's a place where foreign allies and rivals may trade peacefully, and Madagascar intends to keep it that way.

The western side of the island is lush, with swampy forests and jungles scattered over the landscape. 

The geographic isolation contributed to Madagascar's abundance of endemic flora and fauna.

Homeland Territory is defined as being core territory, land which is classed as Madagascar proper. The claim to these territories are permanent and do not change, as such any towns inside these territories that are apart of other nations are classed as invasive.

* Barrow Island

* The Montebello Archipelago

* The Coastline around the town of Onslow, Western Australia

* The Island of Bali (on lease from Majapahit, classified as both Majapahit Core and Madagascan Colonial Territory)

* The Island of Penida (on lease from Majapahit, classified as both Majapahit Core and Madagascan Colonial Territory)

Change is coming, however. A new national highway scheme is currently underway, aimed at connecting almost every mainland Madagascan town to a single, highly developed road network based around 2 main highways: the East Coast Highway and the West Coast Highway, along with various smaller branches to open up the Madagascan north and interior to development. This project includes the demolition of all above ground ice roads, which were extremely dangerous to travel on, the extension of Tsalbarivo's regional highway to become the West Coast Highway, the construction of an entirely new route along the East Coast and extensive wilderness repairs and restoration around the highways. So far, all overground ice roads have been demolished, a lengthy section of the WCH that runs between Tsivory and Solace, an even lengthier section of the ECH that runs from RMNB_Antsevao all the way to Farpoint and an overpass that connects the two has been completed, along with ongoing wilderness restoration. It is hoped that, by the end of this project, traveling between towns will be far easier, and inland towns will be a far more appealing prospect for players looking to create new towns.

Another piece of infrastructure is the regional Tsalbarivo Subway, an underground ice road network, which is being extended to connect to RMNB_Antsevao, Solace and Trondro with the intention of becoming the West Coast Ice Road Network, an underground ice road network that compliments the West Coast Highway, designed for more secure travel between the western towns.

A rather unique town founded by [[2theMAXStairFax|2theMAXofficial]] originally named GSS_People_Power, and later renamed first to Fox_Magic and then to Farpoint, the entire town once resided within a massive space shuttle before expanding onto the mainland, where a variety of 'Cliffside Condos' are situated within the notoriously mountainous terrain of northern Madagascar. Farpoint would go on to reclaim Paralia once it fell to inactivity.

The industrial heartland of Madagascar, the Royal Madagascan Naval Base Antsevao is a very unique town in that it is by far the largest industrial dockyard on the server and one of only a few industrial-based towns on the entire server. It is home to the vast majority of the steadily-growing [[Madagascan Navy]], officially called the Royal Malagasy Navy, which happens to be the largest navy on the server. It hosts two drydocks, the largest of which is large enough to comfortably fit the largest warship ever built on the server to date - the former Aircraft Carrier HMS Jutland of the British Royal Navy. Both of the drydocks are currently occupied, however, by the Battleship RMNS C.Eagle and the Coastal Defence Battleship RMNS Reunion. The town is also host to a small residential area where workers and residents live. There were plans to found it on the north coast above Tsalbarivo, however the waters there were deemed to be too shallow to allow anything larger than a Destroyer to be moored there without extensive underwater excavation, so a relatively flat location was chosen on the east coast instead, situated south of Tsalbarivo.

[https://earthmc.wikia.com/wiki/The_Coffee_Bay_Conflict The Coffee Bay Conflict] began on the 9th of December 2018, when Coffee Bay resident Moshmallows murdered PoppyKai outside Toerana, the nation's capital. Coffee Bay was kicked out of the nation and a siege was planned on the town itself. aTerraAustralis, catnipseverbean, add__123 and Westono sailed to the town and killed Moshmallows. Nowadays the ex Coffee Bay residence created a Nation in America and now are allied with Madagascar.
