Marakat is a democratic assembly of provinces located in the Tchernaya region of Florathel. It is a founding member of the United Nations of Florathel. Marakat manages to have a large amount of trade paths going through its territory due to its central position, giving it control over much trade. The most populated planet in Marakat is Artaclate, as it has been since the Union's founding.

Marakat is separated into five main provinces, each of which is separated into several sub-provinces, implemented to maintain a stable decentralized government over the diverse species under the control of the Union. Most provinces are relatively sparsely populated, with the Artaclate Province in the Feres System containing a full 72 percent of the population of Marakat. The empty areas are mostly governed by local forces.

Founded on the basis of a loose decentralized government, Marakat has given a large amount of autonomy to its provinces, enabling them to enforce local laws and control smaller sub-provinces. While effective at promoting cohesion and avoiding fragmentation of the Union, this has made passing national laws a tedious task - something which has decreased the lifespan of other governments throughout history. Even so, Marakat excels at the national level of development, low poverty rates, and good relations with its neighbors.

Being one of the signers of the Fifth Treaty of Providence, they have control over a slice of the Providence Neutral Zone, and are currently researching a large amount of ancient Providence Union artifacts squirreled away in the maze-like Inner Providence Cluster.

Area

Marakat borders eight different major nations, the largest number out of any nation in Florathel. These are, going counterclockwise, Khela, the Theocracy of Yaztas, Trezhath, Seldrin-Darusa, Mankala, Corelnas, the Varkas Tribes, and Moktosha.

Marakat is split into five different prefects, three of which are the original states which coalesced to form the Union in the first place. The Vea, Artaclate, and Perol prefects are the largest of them, and Toralaskis is the smallest and most distant of the five. Each prefect is split into several provinces, which are split into sectors, each of which containing a roughly equal population.

There is one major disputed territory: Alulia is a large rogue planet administered by Marakat and claimed by the Queendom of Tancred. It contains many very massive and valuable resources, and borders the Soka Exclave of the queendom with its cloud of habitats.

Capital

The capital of Marakat is an ecumenopolis known as Artaclate. Artaclate has always been the most populated world in the nation, giving it a large amount of prestige and fame. Artaclate is primarily focused on heavy industry and commerce, and is surrounded by many stations and drydocks, and is close to a valuable wormhole station with links to the other four major worlds. Artaclate formed relatively late, giving its system a high metallicity and a great deal of ore to be mined. While all easily accessible ore on Artaclate itself has long been extracted, the moons and asteroids of the outer system fuel the prospering world. Artaclate, being the capital of Marakat, is also one of the major worlds of the United Nations of the Florathel. It is one of the most populated worlds, with many layers of cities beneath the top levels.

Local Government

The Marakat Provincal Government is a government body overseeing all provinces in the nation. It helps pass and enforce national law, and it is also able to ensure that the provinces keep their autonomy in Marakat. The local government of Marakat also stretches to the provincial level, where it regulates elected officials to ensure that they are fit for duty. These governors are able to ratify new laws with support of the local government and popular vote. They may also influence greater national affairs in the Marakat Provincial Government.

Economy

The economy of Marakat is relatively similar to that of the rest of the UNF. The nation is almost fully self-sufficient, but still engages in a great deal of trade. If another place can produce a good or resource at fractions of a percentage cheaper, at the scale of trillions of people, that adds up to remarkable savings. This, part of the fundamental logic behind the United Nations of Florathel, has lead to a great deal of wealth. Like the rest of the UNF, Marakat uses the Protea currency, but often converts between this and other local currencies, which does not happen in most other nations.

Much of the work in the Marakat economy is run by the artificial superintelligence known as the Economic Supervisor Intelligence, which manages trade, keeps track of exchange rates, and does many other economy things. An identical but disconnected copy also works in the Economic Federation of Saleas due to its extreme efficiency. Rules regarding the ESI's influence may be tweaked for each of the five provinces by the governors of those states or by the ESI itself to maximize efficiency.

Furthermore, unlike its neighbor opposite the core, Marakat has prevented the formation of megacorporations, passing laws which prohibit mergers and help small corporations. Since the War of Saiheran Succession, and the part massive corporations played in it, mega-corporations have been unilaterally barred in all provinces, with the limits for corporation size varying from place to place.

Artaclate also orbits a so-called ''frozen star'', a star which has a lower temperature than it should due to extremely high metallicity. These stars are prime starlifting sites, allowing Artaclate's system to be filled to bursting with a huge amount of megastructures. As such, Artaclate is a perfect place to create a prosperous nation.

It is one of the most populated worlds, with many layers of cities beneath the top levels. Natural activity in the core of Artaclate has stopped after extensive development of the planet's endless cities, replaced by an artificial black hole held in place at the center of the planet to replace the gravity lost from the mining. Populated layers are replaced by massive automated industrial complexes, which is where Artaclate earns much of its fame. The artificial black hole is kept stable with many receptacles which not only feed matter to the black hole, but draw power which is obtained by superradiant scattering. While not powering all of Artaclate, it is noted to power the majority of its industrial sectors.
