}} The Democratic Republic of Madonia and Lepodonia (Fomi: Dimokratna Respublika Madni i Ljepodonji / Димократна Республика Мадни и Льеподонии), abbreviated MiL, sometimes called Madonia-Lepodonia and mostly informally known as Madonia is a country located in south-eastern Artemia.

The country is a Commitalist-Masilistic with two main people groups and two seperatist regions. Each of the two main groups have their own president, who runs the country in a joint government. These two presidents are observed by the chancellor Zamotg Drahja Adenov whose task it is to ensure that the presidents act exclusively in the best interests of all the people of Madonia.

Madonia consists therefore of the larger Madonian Federation, the Republic of Lepodonia and the two seperatist regions of South Althisia and Bioia. These two regions are allowed to de facto self govern themselves with their own respective governments under the greater Republic of Madonia and Lepodonia.

The country is currently experiencing its longest lasting period of peace as a common state and as the  'second republic'. Since the proclamation of the second republic, relations between these individual provinces have improved.

Madonia is characterized by numerous uprisings and civil wars in the distant past, which always have their origin in the great differences between the two main population groups. Even though these two groups belong to one called the Ichtoslavonians. Their differences lie in their rattitude and religious way of thinking. The Ichtoslavonic people are a close relative of the.

These two groups are the Madonians, or often called Yeknians, who belong to the conservative Old-Odelic Church. And the Lepodonians, who belong to a more progressive agnostic denomination with liberal aims. The origin of these two groups lies in the many individual early Odelian tribes which, in the course of the great Skhčivalbėtsje of 700 A.D., formed these two main branches of odelic spirituality and belief. The only other difference between these two groups is the language. The Madonians speak a western dialect of Madono-Lepodonian called Vyakavkian, and the Lepodonians speak an eastern one called Istognica. Both claim to speak separate languages, but the official linguistic opinion speaks of common dialects of a superior mother tongue of all.

Apart from the Odels, there are minorities distributed throughout the country, which are concentrated in isolated areas. The largest of them are the Odelic Taskerians, the Slavic Dobaskians and a German-speaking minority in the coastal town of Švidbreg.

Today, the youth of Madonia and Lepodonia are increasingly moving away from the disputes between the two communities. According to specialists, the time of wars and disputes is over, and at some point the dual presidency system may be abolished. Until then, however, there is still a long way to go, and it is not uncommon for disputes to occur in certain areas. Especially in poorer lands, since the progressive Lepodonians are statistically the richer part of the country's population.

Apart from these local political problems, Madonia is very well known for its tourist areas. In winter, the high mountains of the country are really stormed because of the numerous ski resorts. The coastal areas, islands and lakes are considered an extremely popular tourist destination for many people in the summer due to the very cheap prices and beautiful sand and stone beaches. The country began to invest heavily in these tourism sectors in the late 2000s and built numerous hotel complexes in those areas. However, to the chagrin of the people living there, the cost of living has risen tremendously.

Etymology
The very first preserved achknowledged mention of the name "Madonia" as "Mádonǣa" was discovered in a document found in an ancient ruin from the year 1000 AD. It comes from one of the numerous ancient Odelic goddesses in the legend of the weeping ox. This legend is about an ox, which is shaken by the greed of the people, who have taken over his home. Madonia, the goddess of nature, then speaks to the ox and shows him where he can dare a new beginning. The story is a metaphor for the Odelic tribes who got banned from their original homeland and then setteled around modern Madonia. Historians also believe that the true origin of the name is even older and comes from romance peoples, who passed the name "Madonna" on to the odelic tribes.

The name "Lepodonia" on the other hand goes back even further to the days of the first Odelic tribes, when they split off from their Slavic brothers. It comes from Łišpąduń in the old church odelic language and means "every entity/every place" or more general "everything". It is believed that the old eastern tribes refered to their homeland this way to express that everything belongs to them.

Language
Madono-Lepodonian, and often informally known as Madonian or Fomi, which is the endonym of the language, is part of a bigger Baltoslavic language group called Odelic because of the river Ogdelin that flows where this language group is said to have formed. It branched off approximately 4000 years ago. Madonian is a central odelic language. No relative languages except for Viakonian, which is spoken in the western part of the country and Taskerian are still alive. Viakonian and Madonian are more or less mutually intelligible with some difficulty.

Furthermore, Madonian has two major dialect groups as a part of one large dialect continuum called "Vyakavnica" and "Istognica", "The western one" and "The eastern one" in english. All Madonian dialect share high mutual intelligibility.
