Tierrador

Tierrador, officially the Tierradorian Republic, is a country primarily located in Southeastern Crona, along with a chain of islands in the Polynesian Sea. The country's mainland is bordered to the south by Ceylonia; to the south and west by the Sea of Orixtal; to the north by Istrenya and the Songun Sea; and to the west by Alstin and Pankara. Tierrador's capital is Taisgol, the largest city along with its commercial and cultural center; other major urban areas include Porvaos, Hugo, Auqali, Arroyo Rato, Prisamarina, San Luis, La Plazal, Las Rozas, and Aracadó. Tierrador is a member of the League of Nations and is considered a regional power within the Cronan continent, due to its strategic location and very powerful economy.

With a very [Https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developed&#x20;country high-developed] and high quality standard of living, Tierrador is among one of the most powerful nations in the Cronan continent. It is considered a melting pot of cultures, due to the large amount of immigration into the nation in the late 70s to the early 90s. It also possesses one of the most powerful economies, with almost $3 trillion as its GDP. These traits were mainly derived from the influence of Cronan great powers such as Alstin, in which missions from the Alstinian lands to Tierrador caused a rift in the cultural significance of the nation. The country is divided into 19 regions, which equal to an area of 2,041,817 square kilometers and a population of just over 101 million. It is a unitary semi-presidential republic, with all of the federal governmental functions being held in the nation’s capital, Taisgol.

Tierrador is a prominent historical center of Cronan art, science and philosophy. It is one of the world’s leading tourist destinations, attracting over 76 million people from around the world yearly. It contains landmarks such as various temples dating back to the ancient Songun Civilization, the Palacio de Prosperidad (lit. Palace of Prosperity) in Taisgol, the many luscious and sandy beaches situated across the coastline of the mainland and the Tierradorian Polynesia, the mountainous northwestern region, and the unique pre-colonial architecture across the hilly Songun Coast.

Etymology
Tierrador is a combination of the Spanish phrase “Tierra del Oro” (lit. Land of Gold). During the Indigenous Cronan settlement period of the nation's history, the western and central portions were considered sacred lands due to its value in terms of resources and cultural significance. Once the land was settled by foreign powers in the early 1500s, the settlers discovered several gold deposits scattered across the Western and Central portions of Tierrador. This led to many conflicts between colonial powers to determine who truly held the rights to the sacred lands. Eventually, following Tierrador's independence in 1684 and the long path to where it is today, the country took advantage of its many gold deposits and quickly became an economic powerhouse.

Federal subdivisions
''Tierrador is divided into nineteen fully devolved regions, which are then separated into 75 provinces, all equally represented in the Senado de la República. For the Montaje Nacional, the body is made up by representatives determined by the populations of the provinces. Each of these regions were created by the Constitution of 1867, from the historical nine provinces, as it was regarded as much easier to govern the large nation with more devolution. These regions function as their own nations, where they are allowed to govern over their respective provinces, have their own parliaments and justice systems. They also possess partial fiscal autonomy, being able to create their own budgets and allocate resources for their Gross Domestic Products. In terms of defense, the Tierradorian regions have their own Regional Guard, which in turn is a division of the Tierradorian Defense Forces, and in the event of an armed conflict on Tierradorian soil, the Federal Government can temporarily dissolve and allow the regions to take control against the enemy.''
