Mecaia has well diversified sectors, much thanks to the Great Mecaian Incidents which sparked the change of the initial sector's diversification. The Incident occured in 1954 partially caused by a tsunami from the Eastern Sea which devastated the countrysides and laid waste to the fishing boats, the primary tool of income during the 1950s. It also caused numerous diseases from the washed up rotting fish carcasses, ravishing the people and bringing starvation to the citizens as the fish lured in hordes of locusts decimating the agriculture and food industry.
The country's ethnicity is also well diversified, creating a multiethnic, multicultural, and multilingual society. The many ethnic groups in Malaysia maintain separate cultural identities and cultural background. Most people were immigrants from nearby countries attracted by the Gold rush boom in the 1800s, which lasted only for a brief period of time.
Mecaians pride themselves to be accepting of others no matter their ethnicity as they have to in order to assimilate with each other and work together.
Schooling is mandatory and Children are encouraged to enter kindergarten by 4-5 but expected to enter primary school by the age of 6. Throughout the student's school lives, extracurriculars and clubs play prominent parts in Mecaian lives, shaping their skills and bringing up hobbies.
The country has a high standard of of education focused not only on core academic subjects such as Maths and sciences but also aims to equip students with other skills such as cooking and creative thinking skills by taking classes such as workshop or design technology.
All schools have the same fee cost enabling people of all financial circumstances to attend school. All schools including private and international schools are subsidised by the government. Many teachers are brought in from all over the world to teach in both public and private schools to expand the student's experiences and widen their understanding of the world. By hiring foreign teachers and making every school the cost the same attendance fees, there is little discrimination between private and public schools as most schools have the same facilities, technology and high quality teachers.
The constitution grants freedom of religion, while establishing Christianity as the main religion of the country. According to the Population and Housing Census 2020 figures, Ethnicity does not equal to the same religious beliefs. Approximately 65% of the population practice Christianity, 25% practice Bhuddism, about 5% practice traditional chinese beliefs and another 5% practice other religions.
Mecaia's persistent drive to develop and upgrade its infrastructure has resulted into advanced overall infrastructure development.
Fresh water is available to over 100 percent of the population with ground water accounts for 90 percent of the freshwater resources. Although rural areas have been the focus of great development, they still lag behind their city urban counterparts. The telecommunication network however, although strong in urban areas, is slightly less available to the rural population.
Mecaia's energy infrastructure sector is dominated by government run company, Vivid the largest electric utility company in Mecaia, which competes with several other smaller companies. Energy production in Malaysia is produced by both renewable and nonrenewable methods such as solar and wind the most common energy source in Mecaia. By 2040, the country aims to be completely independent to use only renewable resources.
High quality transportation was easily and successfully created due to the allocation of funding to only the underground metro and basic transport roads for trucks. Mecaia's lack of cars and actual tarmacked roads are prominent, reason because most of the citizen's private transport is used using helibags, therefore able to freely fly wherever they want. There was much debate over train transportation in the 1980s, regarding whether to place use underground railways or overhead railways or both. Both having their own benefits, the overhead ones being cheap to build, but eventually it was decided that underground networks be built instead due to the people's resolve to preserve the natural scenery of mecaia.
Mecaia's city architecture is is largely based on the shape of the cactus, the national plant, giving rise to rounded shapes and forms as well as segmented shapes. Many of the city buildings have entrances on the top, much similar to helipads so heli bag riders can land on the roof top as it would be more convenient. Buildings are coloured in grey or blue.
Buildings in to forest cities like Galar and Kalos are more traditional in housing although circular based houses are still more commonly favored over rectangular and square bases. Buildings there are made of wood compared to cement and stone counter parts in the cities. Red is a common colour for many of the houses as it is associated with fortune and is a popular colour in chinese architecture which is found in the forest cities.

This game is similarly played like netball where there are two teams and the objective is to get the ball into the opponent's basket hoop but with the addition of jetpacks. When touching the ball you are only allowed to 'bump' the ball, holding it is considered a foul giving the other team a 'free throw'.
Mountain climbing is another popular sport, enjoyed by the young and old alike, as Mecaia's rocky plateau cliff sides make perfect places to climb. Beginners usually start indoors in man made easier courses then move to the cliffs when they have gained experience.
