Malabar
From the Quicksilver Metaweb.
Stephensonia
Queen Kottekkal, the pirate queen of Malabar, captures The Cabal's treasure ship (and treasure), several of its members (Jack, Foot, Esphahan and van Hoek jump overboard and escape), but eventually becomes a major backer for van Hoek's ship, Minerva. The Cabal wind up embezzling the gold back from her treasury, hidden as hull plating of the ship.

Locally known for female pirates, it is the southern tip of India, below the region of Hindoostan which Jack Shaftoe is king of for three years. Enoch Root teaches Jack about realities in the local economy when he shows him the wootzvale.
This imaginary country (though the Malabar Pirates were quite real in the day) was run by Queen Kottekkal at the time of Bonanza, and its royalty falls among matrilinear lines. She basically is used as a very interesting banker as far as the ten are concerned. She gives interesting employment to Dappa and the Jesuit Gabriel Goto. The Minyan has a cunning plan to take advantage of a closed market.
