'''Teschego''', officially the '''Teschego Commonwealth''', is a [[Tierrador|Tierradorian]] overseas [[Administrative divisions of Tierrador#Commonwealths|commonwealth]] in northeast [[Peratra]]. Teschego is one of two overseas territories, the other being the [[Saukhin Islands]]. It is also the larger of the two, covering an area of 920,566 square kilometers. Teschego is the largest commonwealth of Tierrador as well, almost 400,000 square kilometers ahead of Ulunkheria, the second largest commonwealth in the Woqalate. Despite this feat, it is one of the least populous commonwealths, with a population of a little over 4 million. It is also the most sparsely populated commonwealth in the country, at about 4.41 inhabitants per square kilometer. Teschego, like all of the other commonwealths, is divided into seven qoyalets, headed by a [[Teschego Legislature|commonwealth | '''Teschego''', officially the '''Teschego Commonwealth''', is a [[Tierrador|Tierradorian]] overseas [[Administrative divisions of Tierrador#Commonwealths|commonwealth]] in northeast [[Peratra]].

Teschego, like all of the other commonwealths, is divided into seven qoyalets, headed by a [[Teschego Legislature|commonwealth legislature]], and is led by a Commonwealth Governor. Teschego’s capital is [[Apin Tasčaí]], in the [[North Teschego Qoyalet]], and its largest city is [[Tataía]]. | ||
Being practically uninhabited for most of its history, with the exception of some indigenous fishing settlements here and there, Teschego was settled by the Tierradorian Confederation in 1812, under the orders of [[Aphío Kostari]]. There, they established numerous fishing settlements of their own along the [[Akúsatine Beach]]. The settlers would eventually designate a main settlement, Apin Tasčaí, which would become the capital of the colony. For almost a decade, the Akúsatine Beach Colonies were used as a haven for sympathizers of the former [[Qabóri Woqalate]]. As the colony expanded more inland, they began to find small Peratran indigenous settlements in the more mountainous region of the area. While the indigenous peoples were hesitant to interact with the Qabóri settlers, they eventually allowed the bartering of goods with them, as the settlers brought many exotic items from mainland Tierrador, which fascinated the natives. The restoration of the Qabóri Woqalate saw a more organized formation of the Teschego Qoyalets, which had expanded even further. | Being practically uninhabited for most of its history, with the exception of some indigenous fishing settlements here and there, Teschego was settled by the Tierradorian Confederation in 1812, under the orders of [[Aphío Kostari]].

The 1978 discovery of oil in the [[Cape of Sudmoll]], along with the completion of the [[Timbia-Teschego Pipeline System]] led to one of the largest oil booms in Tierradorian history. This led to another massive spike in the commonwealth's total revenues and median income for the average person. By 1988, Teschego had become the largest exporter of petroleum products in Tierrador, along with being one of the largest in the world. Tataía was one of the ten major cities involved in the [[Ten Cities' Uprising]] of 1989, which led to the deposing of the Walakee State, and the subsequent [[Woqelee Reinstatement]] returned the Tierradorian Woqalate. The newly-restored imperial state, along with the massive revenues from the 1980s oil boom, allowed for Teschego to significantly upgrade their infrastructure.

By 1998, Teschego had doubled its [[w:Controlled-access highway|motorway system]], connecting every major city within the commonwealth and eventually becoming integrated into the national [[Autorótsai]] system. | ||
Teschego was largely unaffected by the [[1993 Tierradorian financial crisis]], though it began to see a major difference in trade from the mainland, which was at the center of it. With tourism more vital to the economy, environmentalism also rose in importance in Teschego. The [[Teschego Land Preservation Act of 2002]] added 49.4 million acres (200,000 km2) to the [[Heartland Development Board|Heartland Development Board's]] land conservation system, including tributaties of 16 rivers to its river conservation system, 3 million acres (12,000 km2) to [[Imperial Forest Service]] lands, and 46.4 million acres (188,000 km2) to the [[National Parks Authority]] lands. This act has allowed for strict preservation of Teschego's natural beauty, and Teschego also contains the most Imperially-owned land of any commonwealth in the Woqalate. | |||
Today, Teschego is very well-known throughout the world as a staple of Tierrador's vast natural beauty and biodiversity. It has historically also been one of the most visited commonwealths in the country. | |||

Teschego has one of the highest per capita incomes in the Woqalate. Its GDP per capita is $76,552, which is the third-highest in Tierrador, behind only [[Taisgol]] and [[Las Rozas]]. As of November 2031, Teschego had an unemployment rate of 2.1%, the lowest in Tierrador. Its total workforce is about 2,957,882, working for approximately 197,192 total employer establishments, as of 2033. | Teschego has one of the highest per capita incomes in the Woqalate.

Its total workforce is about 2,957,882, working for approximately 197,192 total employer establishments, as of 2033. Teschego’s economy is dominated by mineral extraction and livestock, with more than 70% of the commonwealth’s revenues deriving from both livestock agriculture along with the extraction and exportation of rare and base-earth minerals, such as gold, zinc, precious metals, and coal. Besides mineral extraction, Teschego’s main exports include oil and natural gas, wool from sheep, seafood, such as salmon, cod, and crab, Polynesian fruits and vegetables, Polynesian timber, and livestock. Tourism is also a very large industry in the commonwealth, as it is one of the most visited commonwealths in Tierrador. Most employed Teschego residents work for the government, along with industries such as mineral extraction and in tourism organizations. TDF military bases also play a large role in the commonwealth’s GDP, and as of 2034, most active TDF personnel are based in Teschego. The commonwealth also receives a large sum of federal subsidies, allowing for lower taxes in the commonwealth, making it an ideal place to live. Teschego has the lowest cost of living of any Tierradorian commonwealth. | ||
===Energy=== | |||
Teschego has the largest energy reserves of any Tierradorian commonwealth. However, its petroleum reserves have become somewhat depleted around the late 2020s to early 2030s, and the commonwealth had fallen to second in petroleum production after [[Ulunkheria]]. In the mid-2010s, the commonwealth's [[Teschego Department of Energy|Energy Department]] began to diversify its energy sources, including the subsidization of [[w:Nuclear power|nuclear]], [[w:Wind power|wind]], and [[w:Hydroelectricity|hydroelectric]] energy sources. While nuclear and hydroelectric power plants have existed in the commonwealth, they were only used for major population centers, such as Tataía and Apin Tascaí. In 2009, TDOE announced a new power grid, with a main focus on hydroelectric power with a few nuclear plants, with it spanning the entirety of the commonwealth. The [[Peratra Interconnection]] was completed in Teschego in 2028, with plans to expand it to Timbia by 2042. Teschego is one of two commonwealths to use its own, deregulated interconnecting energy grid. | |||
Despite these advances in energy and the depletion of oil and gas reserves in the commonwealth, the petroleum industry still dominates the energy sector of Teschego's economy. Until 2029, Teschego was the largest producer of petroleum in Tierrador, now it being second, but by a very close margin. The commonwealth’s refineries are able to process 4.5 million barrels of oil per day, about 31% of Tierrador’s oil yield. The [[Cape Sudmoll Refinery]] off the commonwealth’s eastern coast is the largest refinery in Tierrador. Teschego is also home to 120 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, the most in Tierrador. Many energy companies are based in Teschego, including [[TescheCo]], [[Polynesian Energy|POLY Energy]], [[Sudmoll Refining]], and [[Natukala]]. | |||
===Agriculture, fishing, and mining=== | |||
Much like the rest of Tierrador, Teschego’s agriculture and mining industries are very important to the commonwealth’s GDP. The commonwealth has the 10th-most farms in the country, and has the 6th most acreage. Teschego’s agriculture industry is mainly focused on livestock, of which it represents $5 billion worth, or half of the commonwealth’s agriculture sector. This number mostly consisted of sheep, as their wool was one of Teschego’s largest exports for most of the 20th century. The rest of Teschego’s agricultural yields include Polynesian timber, which represents $2.1 billion worth, Polynesian fruits such as [[w:Guava|guava]], [[w:Mango|mangoes]], [[w:Papaya|papayas]], [[w:Pineapple|pineapples]], and [[w:Coconut|coconuts]], and dairy products, which represent $1.1 billion worth. Teschego also has a very strong fishing industry. The commonwealth has seen a massive abundance of seafood, and has several large fisheries along its Polynesian Sea coast. Teschego exports large numbers of salmon, crab, cod, shrimp, and tuna, and the fishing industry in the commonwealth accounts for 18% of its GDP. Teschego also takes advantage of its vast mineral resources, with the mining industry taking up a large majority of its GDP. | |||
=== | ===Tourism=== | ||
Tourism also plays a large role in Teschego's economy. Some notable tourist destinations include old cities such as Tataía, Apin Tasčaí, Ashburn, and Atalokaliq, along with the famous [[Obrina Island]], which is located 90 miles from the mainland. There are also numerous ski resorts scattered across the Tula'au o Tina mountains, which are very popular during the winter months, along with the various lush beaches along its eastern coast, which are popular in the summer months. 21% of Teschego's workforce is employed in tourism, and the commonwealth attracts more than 8 million visitors per year, mostly from mainland Tierrador but also from countries like Timbia, Daxia, [[Alstin]], [[Arcerion]], and [[Urcea]]. | |||
