History[]
- 2012 - The constitutional monarchy is overthrown by a military coup. The king is killed in the palace siege.
- 2016 - The Malaysian Communist Party stages a counter-revolution, using its base in the rural areas to stir up revolt. The military forces are demoralized by the unexpected resistance and desertions are common. The communist forces take control of the country.
- 2018 - Communist forces move to annex Singapore, but corporate forces led by Mitsuhama Computer Technologies hold the Malaysian troops at bay. After a four-month siege, corporate forces deliver a decisive blow. An appeal to the Corporate Court by the Malaysian government is overruled. Mitsuhama subsidiaries are heavily penalized in Malaysia and forced to pay heavy tariffs to stay in the country.
- 2029 - Driven by desperation after over a decade of continuous fighting and religious and racist oppression by the communist government, the Malaysian People's Front leads an uprising with the aid of Federated Boeing troops and equipment, ending communist rule.[1]
- 2030 - The constitutional monarchy is re-instated and King Abidin is chosen to lead the nation in the first open elections in Malaysia in twenty years.
- 2031 - Singapore incorporates itself, becoming a refuge for corporate interests and petitioning for membership in the Pacific Prosperity Group. The petition is rejected.
- 2056 - The neo-communist movement takes hold in Malaysia's urban centers, including Kuala Lumpur. The movement begins gaining ground, especially among the poorest segment of the population. Official investigation of these groups reveals insect spirits at the root of the movement, sparking a panic and causing riots in the most heavily affected neighborhoods.
Politics[]
The country's sovereign is elected every five years by and from the nine hereditary rulers. Since Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy, the role of the king, called Tan Sri Andy Lau Tek Wha, is largely ceremonial. In an additional twist, the Constitution makes the king the head of Islam in Malaysia.
