Pamale is a micronational kingdom that is located in Thornlie, Western Australia. It was established as a rebel nation in Rizjan territory.

History

The First Kingdom of Pamale was established by Shane Scantlebury and his brother Blake in Augusut 2008. Shane became King Shane of Pamale and Blake became the nation's Prime Minister. The Kingdom lasted almost a year until it merged with the United Republic of Divvy to create the United Kingdom of Rizja in June 2009. Shane became King David of Rizja and former Divvyan President Timucin Aydogdu became the Prime Minister. In January 2010, there were rumours about Shane abdicating from his title. These rummours were soon confirmed and on 1 February 2010, Shane handed the throne to Blake. Blake became King David II of Rizja. On 17 October 2010, Shane created the Second Kingdom of Pamale as a rebel nation in land incorporated by Rizja. There is major conflict between the two nations.

On 30 October 2010, King David II publicly announced that he saw he was no longer fit to run the kingdom and instead of handing the throne to the next in line, his uncle Graeme Atherton, he handed the kingdom over to his brother King Shane (II) of Pamale. Shane (II) decided to officially annex the land. As of 31 October 2010 at 0:00 UTC+8, the entire Rizjan territory will become a part of Pamale and Shane (II) will rule over it. Another perk in the deal was that David II becomes Mayor of the Municipality of Backton.

Geography and climate

Pamale was located in [w:Thornlie, Western Australia|Thornlie, Western Australia], which is in the southwest of the Australian state. The entire nation was surrounded by suburbia, thus had no resources whatsoever. There were no natural water sources and no major elevation.

Pamale has a Mediterranean climate and has hot dry summers and cool wet winters. Temperatures could rise to 40 °C in the summer months (December through February) and winter maximums were usually around 18-20 °C.

Demographics

Pamale's only settlement was Backton, a village housing only four residents. The entire population comprised of Australian-born people with Caucasian complexion. There was never a recorded birth in Pamale.

Education

There were only two children living in Pamale and both attended Australian government-funded public schools. There were no plans to establish a school of any sort in Pamale.

Economy

Pamale had no natural resources whatsoever and depended solely on Australia for its imports. Such imports were anything that is essential for daily life and anything else that you can think of. However, strawberries and tomatoes had been grown in the kingdom but the crops were not successful and there was not enough land for a substantial crop field.

Culture

Sport was a major part of life for Pamalian citizens. Both children played Australian rules football for a local Australian club in the winter and the younger of the two children played cricket for an Australian club. Fixtures for a modified All-Pamale Cricket Championship were at one point being devised. Basketball was also another sport played one of the citizens.
