Madina could have been removed from the map RL years ago, and things wouldn't be any different today.
It actually did, Madina was completly destroyed by the multi realm Aurvendil.
Falkirk freestate was created as a colony by Aurvendil untill Fissioa defeated Falkrik, it was then that the current Madina was founded which copied its name and flags from the original realm.
It didnt contain any nobles from the original Madinan nor any of its ideas what so ever.
It quickly turned into a rogue fighting realm hence forth.
