'''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 legislature]], and is led by a Commonwealth Governor. Teschego’s capital is [[Apin Tascaí]], in the [[North Teschego Qoyalet]], and its largest city is [[Tataía]]. | '''Teschego''', officially the '''Teschego Commonwealth''', is a [[Tierrador|Tierradorian]] overseas [[Administrative divisions of Tierrador#Commonwealths|commonwealth]] in northeast [[Peratra]].

There, they established numerous fishing settlements of their own along the [[Akúsatine Beach]]. The settlers would eventually designate a main settlement, Apin Taschaí, 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. | ||
The remaining decades of the 19th century were dominated by the [[Teschego Frontier]], which played a major role in the development and expansion of the commonwealth. By the 1890s, Teschego had expanded into its modern borders, though still lacking heavily in population. Many of the population centers in Teschego were small mountain towns, which were mostly dominated by the indigenous peoples of the area, which had seen a large population boom. Many residents in mainland Tierrador had demanded that the Woqalate pull its influence out of Teschego, seeing it as a deadweight colony. These attitudes would change in the early 1910s, when settlers would find gold in the Teschego mountains. This began a large gold rush which saw the colony’s population double by 1920. In 1959, Teschego was admitted as a commonwealth of Tierrador. | The remaining decades of the 19th century were dominated by the [[Teschego Frontier]], which played a major role in the development and expansion of the commonwealth.

Teschego takes up a sizable chunk of the western/eastern Peratra mainland. It is the largest of all 26 commonwealths of Tierrador, almost doubling the size of [[Ulunkheria]], the second largest. Teschego is a very mountainous region, with the massive [[Tula’au o Tina]] mountain range taking up around three quarters of the commonwealth’s land. Because of this mountain range’s location, Teschego is home to various climate types, ranging from a subtropical Mediterranean-like climate in the coastal areas of the commonwealth, to a much more cold, glacial climate in the southern and eastern border regions. Of the commonwealth’s 4 million inhabitants, approximately 75% of them reside in the flatter, coastal areas, and the commonwealth’s five largest cities are all coastal. | Teschego takes up a sizable chunk of the western/eastern Peratra mainland.

Most of its borders are derived from natural boundaries, such as the aforementioned Tula’au o Tina range along with some rivers and lakes along the border. Teschego’s boundary with Timbia also serves as Tierrador’s only national border outside of [[Crona]]. The difficult border geography of Teschego has given it a geographical advantage against other hostile Peratran nations. Along with being very mountainous, Teschego is also home to an abundance of rivers and lakes, which allows for lush, arable land to add to its booming agricultural industry. Almost all of Teschego’s rivers empty out into [[Lake Wapu’ana’asi]], the largest in the commonwealth. | ||
