Malija is one of the arcologies of the Commonwealth of Earth.

History[edit | edit source]

Malija was founded by the joint interest of the former nations of the United States, China, France and Japan to gain a foothold in the African continent in the wake of the immense population shifts prospected to occur as a result of global warming, with the official pretense being a humanitarian effort by world leaders to provide a safe haven for the climate-affected inhabitants of the former nation of Djibouti and the greater African continent.

Presently, the arcology is characterised as a ruthless police state ruled directly by the Commonwealth government, with an aggressive militarised border force at its disposal tasked with eradicating piracy and deporting - and even executing - illegal immigrants.

Appearance[edit | edit source]

Malija is an arcology cluster of thirty-eight wide-based concrete (and/or glass) layered pyramidal frames arranged in an irregularly shaped grid. All of its economic sectors are contained within the pyramids, including agriculture.

The Malijan government claims that they direct the Commonwealth's only slum-free arcology, with a 6 kilometre zone surrounding the arco (extending beyond the curvature of the earth to a person of average height) being heavily patrolled by drones and human patrols. All trespassers are either deported to the African Space Elevator or Freeland, forced to return to their wasteland settlements, or are executed.
