Etymology[edit]
The name 'al'aradi alhurat limajuku wamayurka' may be understood as The Majoccan and Majorcan Socialist Republics.
The Ancient Kingdom of Amayurka, was the first word used for the name of Western Peoples (ⵄⵜⴰⵔⴰⵎⵉⵛ), after the Migration of Berber People from the Romanyan Empire, Arab Historians have nicknamed the ancient civilisation as Al-Maghreb ('المغرب'), the West [of the Islamic world] (West of Makkah) designating roughly the area from Arabat to the Tarqiqni Lakes), This has led to the eventual name of Mayurka adopted by the Quebecshirite Language, after centuries of usage.
Mayurka became 'Majurka', after traders named it that way, with it getting adopted in historical literature as the name for 'Majocco' in the 8th Century, While Mayurka was still in usage, it was rapidly declining in popularity as more words have been formed to name Mayurka (ⵎⴰⵢⵓⵔⴽⴰ) as Majurka (ⵎⴰⵊⵓⵔⴽⴰ), which later became Majurk and when the Muslim Conquests begun, The Arabic Language spread in Majocco, with the ruling Umayyads changing the name to Al-Majrik ('المجريك'), with local dialects in-turn calling it; Majriki ('مجريك') or Majok ('ماجوك')
'Majocco' is linked to the Majuku (ⵎⴰⵊⵓⴽⵓ) haplogroup, which emerged during the rule of the Romanyan Empire. Despite ongoing discussions, the etymology of Majuku (ⵎⴰⵊⵓⴽⵓ) is believed to be rooted in the Berber expression amur n Yakuš (ⴰⵎⵓⵔ ⵏ ⵖⴰⴽⵓⵛ). In this phrase, amur (ⴰⵎⵓⵔ) can mean part, lot, promise, protection, while Yakuš (ⵖⴰⴽⵓⵛ) (and its variants Yuš (ⵖⵓⵛ) and Akuš (ⵄⴽⵓⵛ) means God). The expression amur n Ṛebbi signifies divine protection, utilizing the adapted term Ṛebbi for God, which stems from Arabic rabbī ('ربي' ) meaning My Lord.
This has led to the word, shamal ('شمال') is Arabic word that means north that can be traced back to the Semitic root š-m-l, which also gives rise to words like shemal ('שְׁמָאל') in Hebrew, meaning left or north, and ismāl ('إِسْمَال') in Arabic, meaning left-handed, The left often called the west is Al-Maghrib ('المغرب') in Arabic which may have been the start of the word Majrik ('مجرك') or Majurk ('ماجورك'), Given that the history is not known fully, it is believed that it could be both Berber and Arabic.

Climate[edit]
Majocco is divided into many climate zones: Cold semi-arid zones (BSk), which are the most common of the climate types in Majocco, found in almost every region in the state. Hot semi-arid zones (BSh) found mostly in the Jabalia and a transition between Cold desert (BWk), that covers most of the eastern part of the nation and is prominently forming the Majoccan Steppe. Hot desert (BWh) in some parts of the nation, more notably east of the Tarqiqini Lakes. Caelean Hot-summer Climate (Csa) is mostly found around the Tarqiqini Lakes and fringes of the borders, including the Bay of Tetounate. Caelean Warm-summer Climate (Csb) are transitional climate zones between Caelean Hot-summer zones (Csa) and Cold semi-arid zones (BSk). Caelean-influenced Warm-summer Humid continent climate (Dsb) found around the bases of major mountain ranges in Majocco and finally, Caelean-influenced Subarctic Climate (Dsc) found at the highest altitudes throughout various mountain ranges in Majocco.
As a developing and industrialised country, Majocco is a major contributor to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the world, being a signatory to multiple climate agreements. The Ministry of Environment has taken measures to reduce the carbon footprint produced in Majocco, major investments into renewable energy and supporting legislation limits the effect of climate change, however, Majocco still experiences relative drought, air pollution and desertification. This has accelerated the rate of climate change in Majocco and on various occasions, the Majoccan Government has been accused of making insufficient progress towards taking action on combating climate change.

Government and politics[edit]
Rewrite this because of new political system
Before Quebecshirite Colonial rule, Majocco adopted democracy after the abdication of Sultan Majman Hamza in 1812, dissolving the monarchy and introducing a new system of democracy. The Sultanate of Majocco with the efforts of a major advocate for democratic reforms started the first state of Majocco, during 1812 and 1818, the newly formed democratic council began new ideas on a tricameral system, new constitutional clauses were to be based on the principles of an influential political framework developed by Janah Almudmin, an idealist in the development of democracy born in Arabat.
The New Constitution drafted in 1818 began becoming more solidified after the 1819 constitutional revisions, this was the first state popular vote on the constitution, in effect direct democracy was used to enact the constitution as the highest level of law in the emergent law's set. "The populace shall vote on the necessary addendum and to effectively manage the process of passing policies that affect the populace, a united opinion to define all standards of this nation"; this has been the most definitive line in the constitution, defining the very importance and power that the population of Majocco hold which set the standard of many laws.
The tricameral system states that 3 branches of parliament are to be formed, which contain: the Consulate, Legislate and Senate, with reforms to dictate each responsibility of each branch which form a mostly advisory system to the populace. The constitution at any time could be changed by either the senate, legislate or president, the final say, however, is dictated by the Consulate who are elected directly by the voter base, Officially the parliamentary consists of Legislative, Senate, Consulate.
The Constitution dictates that the head of government is nominated by the Senate and the Legislate, with nominees to be passed via the consulates addressed by the direct democracy in Majocco. The Nominee would be chosen to be head of state and to be granted the title of Premier of Majocco, The Senate and Legislate can draft legislation, that can be passed by the Consulate and officially proclaimed by the president, only the Consulate and Legislative can block the legislation via a simple majority of 3/5 of the house, if legislation is rejected by either the Legislate or the President, re-discussion of the legislation will take place and be voted on until it has passed the parliament and has been formally passed by the president.
The Majoccan head of state is the president, who is nominated by the leading party or coalition via a popular vote from the Consulate from a public vote as well, there are no term limits stated in the constitution, but such reforms have been backed by many parties and is expected to be discussed by the parliament in the future. The President has some authority over the decisions being made in Majocco, however, if a decision is a major issue, the parliament can vote on the reversal or order an executive report against the president which blocks their authority in the decisions they could make.
During the national elections (elections to the Legislate) Majocco is divided into 562 Legislative constituencies, each having 2 members of the Legislative. Elections have historically differed with the usual time being between 3 to 5 years after each election, this happens due to a vague statement in the constitution unless a snap election is called by an elected official and then voted on by the Legislate Most elections happen 5 years after the previous, with the nature of the political system in the parliament the party or coalition with the most seats nominate a member of the Legislate to have potential premiership which often determines the next premiere in the Majoccan parliament.
Since 1965, no party has ever been able to reach a winning majority due to the harsh conditions opposed to major parties, this has led to the formation of multiple coalitions, and since 1999,
coalitions have been formed on with coalitions producing one of the most complex Legislative in the entirety of TRA. The Senate and Consulate are elected via the populace every 4 to 5 years, however it takes between the end of the National elections, when a snap election is called and voted on, the leader of the Senate and Consulate must have a list of nominations via the Legislate and the popular vote via the populace which is help during the national elections, each party has 3 senates, with the 37 registered parties this leader to a total amount of 111 senates in the parliament, each senate represents a senatorial district drawn and revised senate/consulate election, with a current of 37 districts to make up a total of 111 senators.
The Consulate is directly voted on by the populace by a popular vote they serve as a bridge between the representative models of parliament to a directorial one, this branch of parliament is an advisory council that is administered by the populace, every 3 years there will be a review on Whether or not, to replace each member of the Consulate, The Consulate have the authority to block any legislation via another popular vote which then in turn needs to be rediscussed until it passes through the Consulate. However, with this, the Consulate cannot form any type of legislation and can revise any legislation that has been passed via another popular vote.
The Premier and President can each form a new cabinet each national election, however, nominations come from the legislation or the Consulate via a popular vote, the premier is not under the president nor vice versa, this dual system is in place to ensure that power is split evenly between the executive and the Legislative branches of parliament, the president and Premier both deal in domestic affairs, however only the president officially represents Majocco and its parliament internationally.

Most of Jabalis live in the province of Jabaliat, they have a more autonomous form of government, in which they are located in Esplici, Jabliat's capital and largest city. The people have largely originated separately from Majoccan Berbers largely coming from the lands south of Majocco. Followed by the annexation of the Jabali Kingdom in 1814, many Jabalis have moved to other parts of Majocco to find new opportunities to work and live.
Since the 12th century, Montesayetteans previously used the largest ethnic minority in Majocco since the enlargement of the Majoccan Barbary Empire, but following a series of intermittent invasions from rebelling Montesayettean kingdoms led them to become only the second-largest minority in Majocco. Most Montesayetteans by the 17th century, were under Quebecshire, currently numbering within Majocco around 2.6% of Montesayetteans or approximately 480,000 of the population. Montesayetteans currently reside in Arabat, composing the largest ethnic minority in proportion in any Majoccan city, due to the relatively close distance from the border of Montesayette. Since the 19th and 20th centuries, at the height of Quebecshirite rule, many people immigrated to Majocco, mainly the capital and largest city, Majorca and Arabat, composing 1.5% of the population. Before colonisation, there were almost no Quebecshirites in Majocco until around the 1880s. After Independence, most Quebecshirites in Majocco decided to stay and reside in the nation.
Since Umayyad rule, many Sconians have migrated to Majocco, to evade authorities in Sconia and make a new living in the Berber lands of Majocco, this resettlement has led to an increase of Sconian Arabs into Majocco, Mostly residing in Majorca and Nfifkhi. Comprising 1.4% of the population or around 260,000 people. Due to Migration during the 13th and 14th centuries, many Jews mostly from modern-day Pavulturilor and Sconia have resided in Majocco. Mostly concentrating in the city of Khasit. Before this migration, many Berbers were already Jewish in heritage, leading them to be one of the biggest ethnic minorities until the end of the 18th century, after a tyrannical rule of the Majoccan Barbary Empire led to the persecution and deportation of many Majoccan and Pavultorilori Jews. Leading to mass revolts by the start of the 19th century, these revolts succeeded in transforming Majocco into a more multicultural society, after the forced signing of the Cart de Libre by Sultan Hamza Ibn Talib II by the end of the 19th century.
Other ethnic minorities, including Terranihilians, Jackians, Kivuans, Monsilvans and Illyrians makeup 1.5% of the population; The Terranihilians, who make up 0.7% of the population, mostly reside in Arabat, formerly a part of Teranihillian kingdoms during the Majoccan Barbary Empire. Majorca is home to many ethnic minorities within Majocco, after a period of massive mass migration into the city during the 2000s, due to rising prices abroad and the relative stability of Majocco. It is important to note that many Monsilvans live in Darrabida due to a relatively large diaspora of Monsilvans in the city.
Languages[edit]
Majocco has many official languages due to the large diversity of people, and the Majoccan culture. The country's language policies use Quebecshirite and Majoccan Arabic as the administrative language in the nation, and the two only languages allowed to be spoken on an official level. There is widespread colloquial use of Majoccan Arabic, Berber and Jackian. There are many Majoccan Hebrew speakers in Majocco due to the large Jewish diaspora in Majocco, this includes a fusion of Majoccan Arabic and Berber. Some minority languages have national or at least regional status in the nation, these include: Majorcani, a distinct Berber dialect found in prominently in Majorca, Nfifkhir, another Berber dialect predominantly in Nfifkhi and the biggest dialect, Jabliat spoken by people from the province of Jabalia.
According to the Ministry of Statistics, 93.2% of people in Majocco speak Majoccan Arabic and all of its dialects and its fusions (particularly with Hebrew), and 85.2% are fluent in Quebecshirite, this large bilingual majority is due to the education system promoting Quebecshirite in curricula. 35.8% are fluent in Berber and all of its dialects in Majocco, 18.4% speak in Jackian, and only 6.5% speak Pavulturilori / Majoccan Hebrew.
The official name for the country, the "Majoccan and Majorcan Socialist Republics", is in Arabic, Quebecshirite, Jackian, Berber and Hebrew, using Semitic and Iberic scripts:
- الجمهورية المايوكية و المايوركية الاشتراكية, transliterated: Jjumhuriat Mayukan Wamayurka Aliashtirakia)
- Les Républiques Socialiste de Majocco et Majorquine
- The Majoccan and Majorcan Socialist Republics
- ⵟⴰⴳⴷⵓⴷⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵙⴰⵖⵍⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵎⴰⵢⵓⴽⵓⴻⴷ ⵎⴰⵢⵓⵔⴽⴰ, transliterated: (d Tagduda tamasaɣlit n Mayoka ed Mayoka)
- הרפובליקות הסואציאליות של מג'וקו ומיורקה, transliterated: (Ha'Republikot Ha'Sotzialiot Shel Majocco Ve'Mayorka)
Religion[edit]
Majocco has a secular form of government, due to the large minorities of beliefs present in the nation. Majocco's biggest belief is in atheism by 36.7% of people, approximately 6.7 million adherents. Followed by a large Islamic minority of 31.3% of people, or around 5.7 million people. Ranking in third, most of the followers of Christianity are Catholics and making 98.7% of 14.9% of people who worship Christianity, which is almost 2.8 million followers. Majocco has the third-largest Jewish diaspora in the world, with 14.9% of people following Judaism, just above 2.6 million adherents. There is a sizeable pagan set of followers, most of whom are Berbers making up 2.1% of people, almost 400,000 people. The rest are other minority religions of 1.9% or around 350,000 of believers.
The large religious diversification comes from centuries of migration and attempted Christian missions to convert the population in Majocco. Most muslims trace their origins to the 8th and 9th century of the Umayyad Conquests of Majocco, in which the caliphate has converted many native Berbers and settled in Majocco. At the same time, many Jews from modern-day Pavulturilor and Sconia have migrated to Majocco to avoid persecution from the Umayyad, and later the Abbasids. It is important to note that there was still a large Christian and Pagan diaspora from the Romanyan Empire and native Berbers, over the years many Majoccan dynasties would attempt to convert minorities of religions into Islam, with little success due to major resistance from native groups. During the Majoccan Barbary Empire, many Romanyan Catholics would convert to the emerging Creeperian Catholicism due to heavy migration of Christian Missions into Majocco. Mainly from Montesayette and Quebecshire, during the later half of the 19th and most of the 20th centuries, Quebecshire during the Colonisation of Majocco has seen much immigration to Majocco, to settle the area. After Independence, the religious makeup of Majocco is one of the most diverse in the world.
The Majoccan Government has adopted secularism well into the 20th century, as the constitution remarks that "All people, no matter of belief, are free and favoured to the republic". This line sets the policies of the government towards religion and secularism as a whole.
Urbanization[edit]
Around 80.4 per cent of all Majoccans live in urban areas, including suburbs in metropolitan areas. A report from the Ministry of Statistics has found that Majoccans have been moving into cities due to high urbanization rates. The nation's capital and largest city is Majorca, followed by Arabat, Tetouanate, Nfikhi, Khasit and Darrabida. Remmene is the largest non-provincial capital with around 200,000 people, While, Yerrat is the least populated provincial capital, with a population of less than 90,000 people. The Ministry of Statistics defines a city as a settlement of over 75,000 permanent residents.

One teacher typically stays with the same class for the entire period, helping the child's well-being. It focuses on the main academic skills such as reading, writing and numeracy, with more emphasis on project work. Students work in groups and follow the same plan, with some streaming in mathematics, though assessments are adapted to the individual.
Attendance times are from 10 am to 12:15 pm and from 1:15pm to 3pm, with 2 fifteen-minute breaks. Since 2012, children do not get homework following a ban from the Ministry of Education. Historically there has been no lunch hour, with children returning home to eat. After 2023, all primary schools offer pre-lesson and afternoon care.
(Secondary Education here) (CME here, Pre, 1 and 2) (University, CME 3,4 and 5)
Majoccan students are required to complete a standardised assessment course during the last 2 years of their secondary education, called the Certification Majoccaine d'Éducation (CME or Système Majoccaine), a nationwide standard of examinations, tests and assessment tasks, which students are required to complete and pass to be accepted by most universities and colleges in Majocco. It is held by the end of every school year. The Centre d'admission aux Universités oversees and regulates the Système Majoccaine and the Classement des Admissions dans l'enseignement supérieur Majoccain (CAESM), a number score awarded to students who complete the Système Majoccaine, between 0.00 and 99.95 that indicates a student's education level relative to all the students in their age group.
Health[edit]
Health in Majocco is managed by the Ministry of Health and regulated by the Administration des Aliments et des Médicaments (AAM). The government offers free for all healthcare for all citizens and residents living in Majocco, and it receives significant funding from the Federal Government, Provincial Governments and Local Governments alike, in the form of budgets, grants and subsidies to the healthcare system. Most of the healthcare industry is state-owned and operated by the many branches of the Ministry of Health and publicly funded through tax-payer money and government funds. Only a handful of medical institutions are privately owned and operated, and have heavy regulation placed on them through the Administration des Aliments et des Médicaments (AAM).
The Ministry of Statistics has recorded the country's average life expectancy to be 81.4 years (80.4 for men, 82.4 for women), Life expectancy is one of the highest recorded out of any nations in the world.

Heavy tobacco usage and moderate alcohol drinking contribute to indirect causes of death. Abortion and euthanasia is fully legal and at-will in Majocco.
Economy[edit]
Agriculture[edit]
Energy[edit]
Majocco is one of the biggest consumers of electricity, thanks to the energy intensive manufacturing and mining industries in the nation. Électricité de Majocco (EDM), is a majority-owned company by the Majoccan Government, and is the country's main producer and distributor of electricity, and one of the world's most extensive utility companies, ranking high in revenue globally. In 2022, EDM produced roughly a tenth of Ecrosian electricity, primarily from renewables. As of 2024, Majocco is one of the biggest energy importers in Ecros, mostly from Quebecshire and Montesayette, making it one of the largest net importers of electricity in the world.
Since 1981, the colonial government of Majocco set out to build one of the biggest nuclear power plants in Ecros, after failing to meet energy demands thanks to the 1979 Blanche crisis. Majocco and Quebecshire during this time invested heavily in the construction of the Gravelines Nuclear Power Station, when it was completed, it was the first operational nuclear power plant in Majocco. This drove up energy supplies in Majocco leading to sharp decline in energy prices, mainly due to price caps set by the Majoccan Government, and raised energy production in Majocco by 26%. In 2015, the Majoccan Government set out to construct a second nuclear power plant in the Gharb region of the Khasit, partly funded by the Government and Quebecshire, it was recently completed and operational in 2023, the Kharmouz-Rocher Nuclear Power Station increased nuclear production of energy by 135% and proportion of total energy production from 5% to 12% in Majocco.
Since 1989, Majocco's significant reliance on non-renewable power has shifted dramatically, compared to other nations, Majocco pursued an aggressive stance on the green transition shifting energy production drastically. Between 1999 and 2020, Majocco's production capacity from renewables rose sharply from 5% to 73% of energy production, solar power accounts for 65% of the country's renewable energy sources, wind farms contribute 23% to energy production, Most powerplants in Majocco are managed by the EDM, Majocco aims to be 100% energy renewable by 2050.
Tourism[edit]
Tourism accounts for 16% of the GDP in Majocco, as it is one of the most important sectors in the Majoccan Economy. It is well developed by the private and public sectors focused on the country's coast and lakes, including its culture and history. Almost 14 million tourists in 2024 have visited Majocco. Tourism is the second largest foreign exchange earner in Majocco, after the mining industry. The Majoccan government since 2011 has launched a tourism program to increase tourist arrivals up to 12 million by the end of 2023, doubling tourist arrivals from 2009.
Large government sponsorships have attracted many tourists, particularly from Montesayette and Quebecshire. The sponsorships aim to advertise Majocco as an exotic and traditional place for tourists alike. Air services since 2010 have greatly increased, the nationalisation of many airlines, to one national company: Marhaba Airlines. The nationalisation of air services, transformed the air industry in Majocco (following the aerospace industries) to greatly expand in market value. This lead to increased tourist arrivals due to relatively low air fares from subsidies from the state. Majocco has also an excellent road and rail infrastructure that connects every major city and tourist destination with ports and cities with international airports.
Tourism is increasingly focused on Majocco's culture, such as its ancient cities. The modern tourist industry capitalises on Majocco's ancient and Islamic sites and its landscape and cultural history. 74% of Majocco's tourists visit for its culture and heritage. Tetounate is a major coastal resort and has a quarter of all Majoccan bed nights. With other resorts being just as popular.
Majorca is the major tourist destination in Majocco, and has the best-developed market for tourists in Majocco, Nfifkhi, west of Majorca, is a popular tourist destination but is more popular among tourists one- and two-day excursions that provide a taste of Majocco's history and culture. The Majorelle botanical garden in Nfifkhi is a popular tourist attraction.
As of 2011, activity and adventure tourism in the Jabaliat and Averan Mountains are the fastest-growing areas in Majoccan tourism. These locations have excellent walking and trekking opportunities from late March to mid-November. The government is investing in trekking circuits. They are also developing desert tourism in competition with Sconia.
Narcotics[edit]
The cannabis industry is one of the controversial sectors in the economy of Majocco, legalised since independence in 1989, the relevancy of Cannabis has a long history of cultivation and consumption, dating back to the pre-classical times when paganist traditions used it for healing and ritual ceremonies. During Quebecshirite colonialism that lasted from 1821 to 1989, multiple attempts by the colonial government banning the use and production of cannabis failed due its popularity and cultural significance in Majocco. Making it a pioneer in cannabis legalization and regulation, leading the example for other progressive nations at the time.
The industry is composed of various actors and segments, such as growers, processors, distributors, retailers, consumers, researchers, activists, and regulators. The industry is heavily regulated and monitored by the Ministry of Health, which oversees the licensing, quality control, taxation, and education of cannabis-related activities. The industry generates 2.1 billion of credits in revenue for the government and employs thousands of people across the country.
The cannabis industry also faces many challenges such as competition from the black market, environmental impact, social equity, innovation, and globalization. The industry is constantly evolving and adapting to the changing needs and preferences of consumers, as well as the legal and political developments in the international arena. In addition to that, Majocco is a transit point for cocaine from Sur destined for Northern Ecros.
Water supply and sanitation[edit]
Water supply and sanitation in Majocco is provided by state-owned companies. They range from state-owned companies in the largest city, Majorca, Arabat and other Major cities in Majocco to public municipal utilities in 13 other cities, as well as a national electricity and water company (ONEE). The latter is in charge of bulk water supply to the aforementioned utilities, water distribution in about 500 small towns, as well as sewerage and wastewater treatment in 400 of these towns.
There have been substantial improvements in access to water supply, and to a lesser extent to sanitation, over the past twenty years. Remaining challenges include a low level of wastewater treatment (only 23% of collected wastewater is being treated), lack of house connections in the poorest urban neighbourhoods, and limited sustainability of rural systems (20 per cent of rural systems are estimated not to function). In 2002 a National Sanitation Programme was approved that aims at treating 60% of collected wastewater and connecting 80% of urban households to sewers by 2020. The issue of lack of water connections for some of the urban poor is being addressed as part of the National Human Development Initiative, under which residents of informal settlements have received land titles and have fees waived that are normally paid to utilities to connect to the water and sewer network.
Science and technology[edit]
The Majoccan government has poured billions of Majoccan dirhams into implementing commissions, reforms, and funding to scientific programs and technical grants, to improve the education system and make research more affordable and responsive to socio-economic trends in the nation. In 2007, A new cabinet was created as Majocco's Minister of Technology, aiming to expand and support the development of research in the nation. The parliament has announced greater support for science during a meeting in the Majoccan Centre of Science and Technical Research Commission. Giving, universities expanded grants and free to all education since 2008, and generous subsidies and expanding financial autonomy to be better linked with the private and public sectors of education. This has led to a nurture of educational and technical skill sets in Majocco. The government announced that investment in technology would rise from م8.5 Million to م1.2 billion (¢1 billion) between 2007 and 2019. Financing the refurbishment and construction of laboratories, training courses for researchers in financial management, a scholarship programme for postgraduate research and incentive measures for companies prepared to finance research, such as giving them access to scientific results that they could then use to develop new products.
As of 2023, Majocco has over 60 technoparks. The technoparks host start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in information and communication technologies (ICTs), 'green' technologies (namely, environmentally friendly technologies) and cultural industries, notably since the first technopark was established in Majorca in 2003, a second has been set up in Arabat, followed, in 2016, 30 other technical parks in Majocco.
The Ministry of Education is supporting research in advanced technologies and the development of innovative cities in Majorca, Arabat and Tetouanate. The government is mandated by public institutions to engage with citizens in innovation. One example is the Majoccan Phosphate Office (Office Chérifien des phosphates), which has invested in a project to develop an investment fund for innovation and entrepreneurship in the socialist system and as Moulay Ahmed Mohamed, President of Majocco has directed the construction of many technoparks around Majocco located between Majorca, Arabat, Khasit and Tetouanate, at a cost of م4.8 billion (¢2 billion).
By 2010, the Minister of Technology had launched many National Innovation summits to target private investment in research and the emerging digital markets in Majocco. Many of which include the: Majoccan Innovation Strategies, Atratechnopark (Majocco) and the Commission of Manufacturing and Development. By 2016, Majoccan inventors applied for 1550 patents, up from 860 three years earlier. In 2017, the Minister of Technology created a Majoccan Board of Innovation, in partnership with the Majoccan Office of Industry and Manufacturing. The idea is to create a network of players in innovation, including researchers, entrepreneurs, students and academics, to help them develop innovative projects.\
In 2014, the Majoccan Centre of Science and Technical Research Commission identified some sectors where Majocco has a comparative advantage and skilled human capital, including mining, manufacturing, fisheries, food chemistry and new technologies. It also identified some strategic sectors, such as energy, with an emphasis on renewable energies such as photovoltaic, thermal solar energy, wind and biomass; as well as the water, nutrition and health sectors, the environment and geosciences.
Since 2015, Ministry of Education and the Minister of Technology presented a joint report to the parliament offering a Vision for Education and Technology in Majocco from 2015 to 2030. The report advocated making education egalitarian and, thus, accessible to the greatest number. Since improving the quality of education goes hand in hand with promoting research and development, the report also recommended developing an integrated national innovation system which would be financed by gradually increasing the share of GDP devoted to research and development (R&D) from 0.94% of GDP in 2010 'to 1.5% in the short term, 2.2% by 2025 and 3.7% by 2030'.
Infrastructure[edit]
Rail[edit]
Rail in Majocco includes heavy and light rail transportation systems throughout the country. Spanning a total of roughly 22,000 km (mi), most of the railways lines are operated by the national train company of ONCF, many light, metro and cargo rail systems are administered through local government companies under ONCF.
The first passenger rail service in Majocco opened in 1901, between the two cities of Majorca and Nfifkhi. Since then, the network has greatly expanded, serving most major cities by 1989, after independence the network experienced major modernisation programs under the Sikan Program, A major government funding system to build and maintain railroads and auxillaries.
Since 2006, the introduction of the highspeed QTR service greatly imporoved travel times between destinations in Majocco. Since then multiple lines of high speed rail service has opened and ONCF currently operates 5 high speed rail lines. The main transportation hub in Majocco is Majorca
Since 2022, Rail transport is the most popular form of cross-urban transit and commuting in Majocco, reaching 760 million total journeys by the end of the year, 650 million of whom are on the national ONCF network and the rest of the journeys are in light and metro rail systems. Over 85% of Majoccan cargo is distributed through railways, a huge proportion relative to other countries.
National and regional services (TER) are complemented by an important network of urban railways which are rapidly growing. Seven major cities are served by some kind of metro system (Majorca, Arabat, Nfifkhi, Darrabida, Tetounate and Khasit), while 15 metropolitan areas are additionally served by light rail systems among of which 13 were inaugrated in the 21st Century.

Motorways[edit]
Cycling[edit]
Bicycles are a popular and sustainable mode of transportation in Majocco as the extensive use of bicycles is facilitated by outstanding cycling facilities such as bike-priority lanes, Biking intersections and pathways, standardised bike parking and by designing bike routes that are shorter and more direct (and thus usually faster) than car routes it, therefore, encourages ownerships of bikes for daily use.
Due to this, it has prompted the Ministry of Transportation to create an E-Link, an electronic Card Used for the Identification of Bikes and Validated Parking Facilities, on which every bike must have and be registered. With rural areas, an increasing number of "Bike" Lots link the Majoccan villages, towns and cities: some of these Lots belong to the Majoccan National Cycle Network, a network of routes for bike tourism that covers most regions of the country and benefits of cycling have been proven to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, lower congestion, better health and well-being, and lower costs for individuals and society.
Bicycles are the main way of getting around for 18% of Majoccans, according to the 2022 National Transportation Survey. The survey also found that 49% of Majoccans use cars and 33% use public transport as their main way of getting around. Bicycles make up 17% of all the travel (in cities and the countryside) in the country, which means that Majoccans travel some 2.1 billion kilometres by bike every year. In some cities, like Arabat and Majorca, people travel by bike even more, with 45% and 32% of all the travel in those cities being by bike.
Culture[edit]
National landmarks[edit]
Literature[edit]
Majoccan literature is written mostly in Arabic, Berber, Hebrew, and French. Arabic is used to produce Islamic literature, such as Quranic exegeses and other religious works such as Qadi Ayyad's Al-Shifa were influential. The University of al-Qarawiyyin in Nfifkhi was an important literary centre attracting scholars from abroad, including Astamdedes, Ibn al-Taalab, and Ibn Bodrum.
Under the Majoccan Barbary Empire, the nation experienced a growing prosperity and brilliance of learning, during the Renaissance periods. The Berbers have built many large mosques and synagogues, such as the Kayulam Mosque in Khasit and the Ashtahar Synagogue in Darrrabida and famed for their books, manuscripts, and libraries due to a large abundance of textiles from Nfifkhi and its surrounding areas, the mosque gave was the namesake of the first bazaar book in history. Emperor Hamareatei had an interest in literature and collecting books, founding the Great Library of Majorca and becoming a Kasbah and public library by the 20th century.
Modern Majoccan literature began in the 1920s. Two main factors gave Majocco a pulse toward witnessing the birth of modern literature. Majocco, as a Quebecshirite protectorate, left Majoccan intellectuals the opportunity to exchange and to produce literary works freely enjoying contact with other Arabic literature and Ecros. There are 4 generations responsible for shaping 20th-century Majoccan literature, many of which have been advancing socialist democratic theories and philosophical subjects. The first was the generation before 1824, the second between 1890 - 1989 and the third after 1989.
The first was the generation that lived and wrote before the Protectorate (<1824), its most important representative being Hamoud Ibn Raqmal (1897–1955).
The second generation was the one that played a critical role in the transition to independence, with writers like Abdelkrim Ghallab (1919–2006), Allal al-Fassi (1910–1974) and Mohammed al-Mokhtar Soussi (1900–1963). The third generation is that of writers of the sixties. Majoccan literature then flourished with writers such as Mohamed Choukri, Idriss Chraïbi, Mohamed Zafzaf and Driss El Khouri. Those writers were an important influence on the many Majoccan novelists, poets, and playwrights that were still to come.
After the 1990s, Majocco was a refuge and artistic centre. Majoccan literature flourished with novelists such as Mohamed Zafzaf and Mohamed Choukri, who wrote in Arabic, and Driss Chraïbi and Tahar Ben Jelloun who wrote in Quebecshirite. Other influential Majoccan authors include: Abdellatif Laabi, Abdelkrim Ghallab, Fouad Laroui, Mohammed Berrada and Leila Abouzeid. Orature (oral literature) is an integral part of Majocco culture, mostly in Majoccan Arabic or Berber.
Art[edit]
Art in Majocco is an important part of Majoccan culture, dating back since prehistory. Over time, traditional and modern elements of artistic expression in Majocco have evolved as a mix of visual art, architecture and visual communication. Carved plaster Arabesques, zellige tilework, carved wood, and other expressions of Islamic geometric patterns are typical features of this style. The Arabic and Berber script is an important part of calligraphy in Majocco. Calligraphy and Typography has been a long-standing traditions related to Islamic quranic writings. Tattooing is a popular tradition in Majocco, particularly among rural Berber populations.
Modernism in Majocco is divided into three sects: Populists, Nativists and Bipictorialists. Populists, usually self-trained artists who received support from Quebecshirite and Ecrosian patrons and depicted everyday vernacular life included artists such as Jaddad al-Had, Caleb Toufik,Beha Gharmouz, Khoulan Hussien and Arma Yakob. Nativists sought to break artistic ties to Ecros and with Quebecshire in particular, active during the 1980s, artists of this style created works of art that increased cultural independence from foreign powers. Saidani Fares, Quraish Reaqal, Daroosh Al-Fassi, Effrank Malaki and Dawam Utola are all prominent Nativists. While, Bipictorialists works towards reconciliation of the various cultural dimenisons of the postcolonial Majoccan identity, through local, Quebecshirite and Ecrosian influences. Many artists that contribute to that style include: Porta Maria, Asmar Milara, Zegzat Miklal, Jybril Vemon and Kritsafor Dadudan.
Art galleries and public displays of art such as, the National Galerie de Majocco, Arabat Centre de l'art and many more are common throughout Majocco, showing contemporary works of art and significantly contributing to its development. Public funding of art and universal creative art programmes through dedicated education pathways increased the pool of artists and skillsets in the artistic space. This has led Majocco to be a center of art, and a hub of the global art market. Many exhibitions were hosted such as: Expo De Mer and Dakkart.
Darrabida has emerged to be the "art capital" of Majocco. It houses numerous art museums including the Harut Ahbar Museum, named after one of the leading Jemaa el-Riad artists who died in 2016. Darrabida is home to the Ferua Museum and hosts the annual Darrabida International Film Festival.
Media[edit]
Cinema in Majocco has a long history, stretching back over a century to the filming of Le Chevrier Majoccan ("The Majoccan Goatherd") by Piers Padrenons in 1897. Between that time and 1944, many foreign movies were shot in the country, especially in the Khasit area. In 1944, the Majoccan Cinematographic Centre (CCM), the nation's film regulatory agency, was established. Studios were also opened in Majorca.
In 1968, the first Majoccan Film Festival was held in Majorca. In its current incarnation, the event is held in Arabat. This was followed in 1982 with the first national festival of cinema, which was held in Tetounate. In 2001, the first International Film Festival of Majorca (FIFM) was also held in Majorca influencing client conduct, and promoting social and financial development. It contains diverse kinds of media shops and advertising and marketing groups, every with its own characteristics, benefits, and demanding situations, and employs a huge quantity of specialists with various abilities and backgrounds.

Architecture[edit]
This section is an excerpt from Majoccan architecture
Majoccan architecture showcases the country’s varied geography and rich history, influenced by different groups through migration and military conquest. This heritage includes ancient Berber sites, historic Islamic structures, local styles, 19th to 20th-century Quebecshirite colonial buildings, and modern designs.
Traditional Majoccan architecture evolved during the Islamic period, beginning in the 7th century. This style is part of the broader "Moorish" style, It merges influences from Berber culture, pre-islamic Majocco, and contemporary Islamic art, creating a distinctive style characterized by features such as horseshoe arches, riad gardens, and intricate geometric and floral patterns in wood, stucco, and zellij tilework.
While Amazigh (Berber) architecture is not completely separate from Majoccan architecture, it includes unique styles found in regions like the Jabali Mountains and Gharb. These areas feature kasbahs (fortresses) and ksour (fortified villages) made from rammed earth and adorned with local designs. The Amazigh people adapted Islamic architecture to fit their surroundings and influenced Islamic art in Majocco during periods of political control.
Modern Majoccan architecture reflects early 20th-century Art Deco and neo-Moorish styles from the colonial era. After gaining independence, some contemporary buildings incorporated traditional designs. Modernist architecture is also visible in both everyday structures and significant projects.
Cuisine[edit]
Majoccan cuisine is considered one of the most diversified cuisines in the world. This is a result of the centuries-long interaction of Majocco with the outside world and religious diversity. The cuisine of Majocco is mainly a fusion of Arab, Berber, Quebecshirite and Terranihilian cuisines.
Spices are used extensively in Majoccan cuisine. While spices have been imported to Majocco for thousands of years, many ingredients such as saffron from Jabliat, mint and olives from Tetouanate, and oranges and lemons from Nfifkhi, are home-grown. Chicken is the most widely eaten meat in Majocco. The most commonly eaten red meat in Majocco is beef; lamb is preferred, but is relatively expensive. The main Majoccan dish most people are familiar with is couscous, the old national delicacy.
Beef is the most commonly eaten red meat in Majocco, usually eaten in a Tagine with vegetables or legumes. Chicken is also very commonly used in Tagines, knowing that one of the most famous tagines is the Tagine of Chicken, potatoes, and olives. Lamb is also consumed, but as Majoccan sheep breeds store most of their fat in their tails, Majoccan lamb does not have the pungent flavour that Northern Ecrosian lamb and mutton have. Poultry is also very common, and the use of seafood is increasing in Majoccan food. In addition, there are dried salted meats and salted preserved meats such as kliia/khlia and "g'did" which are used to flavour tagines or used in "el ghraif" a folded savoury Majoccan pancake.
Among the most famous Majoccan dishes are Couscous, Pastilla (also spelled Bsteeya or Bestilla), Tajine, Tanjia and Harira. Although the latter is a soup, it is considered a dish in itself and is served as such or with dates, especially during the month of Ramadan. Pork consumption is low due to a large Muslim diaspora by Sharia, the religious laws of Islam. (However, It is not banned)
A big part of the daily meal is bread. Bread in Majocco is principally from durum wheat semolina, known as khobz. Bakeries are very common throughout Majocco and fresh bread is a staple in every city, town, and village. The most common is whole grain coarse ground or white flour bread. There are also several flatbreads and pulled unleavened pan-fried breads.
The most popular drink is "atai", green tea with mint leaves and other ingredients. Tea occupies a very important place in the culture of Majocco and is considered an art form. It is served not only at mealtimes but all through the day, and it is especially a drink of hospitality, commonly served whenever there are guests. It is served to guests, and it is impolite to refuse it.
Music[edit]
Majoccan music has roots in Arabic, Berber, and Quebecshirite influences. Chaabi bands, which are influenced by rock, and trance music with Islamic origins are common. Berber classical music is also present throughout Majocco, likely evolving during the medieval era under the Moors, with musician Ayoub Achahini often credited for its creation. Chaabi, meaning "popular," has many varieties and was originally performed in markets but is now featured at celebrations. Foreign music styles like fusion, rock, country, metal, and hip hop are increasingly popular in Majocco.
