Mala'anje

The Mala'anje (also known as the Mala'anashim) are the First People (aboriginal group) said to have inhabited Mala, in Cybernesia or the Cyber-Island Chain, which was home to Cyberia, Rocentia and other nations.

A remnant lived on on the island of Melangia, a part of Kildare, although this group represented a significant cultural shift to be classified as a separate people.

Kahunamea VI was the traditional King of the Mala'anje, deriving his title as a descendant of Kahunamea IV. The Jacobian claim is that the ancestors of the current inhabitants of Cyberia drove the majority of the Mala'anje and their royal family from their homes and into exile.

U.P.E.C. established within their territory a Mala'anje Free Zone as a protectorate so that the Mala'anje could live without interference.

Around 1500 AN, a Deputy and Interior Minster of the VCC, Orion, sponsored legislation to create eight protected enclaves for the Mala'anje. Their home base was the Mala Enclave in what the VCC called Felicia, where their tribal council met in Malanj City. Around 1570, during the collapse of Cyberia, local tribal leader Amir Rabin proposed that Ashkenatza create a Mala'eretz territory for the Mala'anshim on the continent of Keltia, near their historic territory and on former Chinamese lands, due to the cultural similarities between the Mala'anashim and Ashkenatzim. This territory was known as the Mala'eretz and was ruled by a Shofet and his council in the administrative capital of Bet Mala (formerly Malanj City).

Rabin came from a distinct tribal group of the Mala'anje that spoke the Mala'anashim dialect, which was related to Ashkenatzim, probably carried over from Haifan nomads. He changed the focus of the Mala'anje culture away from the traditional language (Hawaiian) to his tribes dialect (Hebrew) and embarked on a program of rapid modernization and standardization. His programs were so successful, and the economy benefited so greatly, that the loss of tradition was generally ignored until the economic collapse of Ashkenatza brought Rabin down with it. Lac Glacei, a historic ally, would emerge in the early 1700s as a supporter of the Mala'anje, and traditional language and governance were returned to Mala when the Mala'anje Repatriation Act was signed into force in 1705.
