Timeline[]
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
MCT 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 gov-
ernment is overruled. MCT 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 reli-
gious 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.
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 PPG. 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.
