The Constitutional Monarchy of Magrodia is part of the Dueilland Federation, which is a group of nations on Dueilland Island loosely banded together to strengthen the island's security. Magrodia is the federation's west most province. The nation's capital is Thumperville (Snowhare Bay). It is currently related to the SCJU by ambassadorial relations only. However, until Aleuntisyera is fully back in the SCJU, Magrodia will assume all roles of Aleuntisyera.

Magrodia-Coalianton Background
Magrodia-Coalianton's name
Magrodia means "Lands of the Mountains" in the native Magrodia tongue. It is selected by the founders of Magrodia to be the nation's name. It is still in use today.
Coalianton was added in 1888 on the day of the treaty. This was added because of the demand of recognition of the Coaliana people, which make up about 20% of the population.
History
Early records indicate local nomadic tribes inhabited the area long before the nation was found. They were mostly hunters and farmers, though almost all agricultural activities were confined to the Tempest Lake area. The largest of them was the Coaliana tribe, which occupied the area around Tempest Lake and Eaglebeak Plains.
The Magrody tribe, which inhabited the area of Snowhare Bay, began to band together and founded a small village, which is now today's Thumperville. The city flourished and in only a few decades the population boomed and the nation of Magrodia was formed around Snowhare Bay in 1025.
However, the creation of Magrodia was not without incident. In 1039, the Coaliana tribe invaded the country and occupied the city. The struggle to liberate the city continued until 1045, when the Magrody leader Konaoes overthrew the Coalianai rulers and drove them out of Snowhare Bay. This is the last time any foreign nation had control over the area.
Over the years, Magrodia had enlarged its area and soon annexed all tribes within the region.
In 1390, the neighbouring nation of Glorisee (now modern day Lake Thumper) declared war on Magrodia due to the claims of land dispute over the area of the Desolate River Range. The war dragged on for 4 years. Although the Gloriseers were driven back to the east of the mountains, Magrodia took a hit in both its population, due to conscription; and the economy.
In 1888, all nations on Dueilland Island signed the Dueilland Treaty. The treaty created the Dueillander Joint Security Task Force, and ensures freedom of information and travel within all member nations.
