'''Tierrador''', officially the '''Tierradorian Woqalate''', is a semi-constitutional monarchy primarily located in Southeastern [[Crona]], along with a [[Saukhin Islands|chain of islands in the Polynesian Sea]], and multiple small overseas island possessions. The country's mainland is bordered to the south by [[Ceylonia]]; to the south and west by the [[Orixtal Sea]]; to the north by [[Istrenya]] and the Songun Sea; and to the west by [[Asteria]]. Tierrador's capital is [[Taisgol]], the largest city along with being a major commercial and cultural center; other major [[wikipedia:Urban Area|urban areas]] include Qabór, Prisamarina, Sačia, [[Ambaqwe]], Porvaos, Hugo, Topaqoí, Tansher, and San Cristóbal. Tierrador is a member of the [[League of Nations]], the [[Cronan Commonwealth Development Organization|CCDO]], and the [[Multilateral Coöperation Council|MCC]].

It is considered a regional power within the Cronan continent, due to its strategic location and very powerful economy.


Tierrador is a {{wp|developed country}} with a very high {{wp|quality of life}}. Because of this, Tierrador is considered amongst one of the most powerful nations in the Cronan continent. It is also 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 a little over $12 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 25 regions, which equal to an area of 4,154,413 square kilometers, making it the 5th largest nation in the world by area, along with a population of close to 186 million. It is a unitary semi-constitutional monarchy, 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 Saukhin Islands, the mountainous northwestern region, and the unique pre-colonial architecture across the hilly Songun Coast. Tierrador is a federal republic, consisting of [[Administrative divisions of Tierrador|25 regions and 3 collectivities]], with most federal authority sections based in [[Taisgol]], along with a few government agencies based in the historical city of [[Qabór]].

===Great Wars and Beyond===


Despite the newfound relations with Kiravia and Caphiria, Tierrador remained neutral during the [[First Great War]], which lasted from 1896 to 1902. Many Tierradorians felt that the country had an obligation to fight alongside its allies, however, Woqala Saku was firm on her stance that armed conflict with global powers, especially given the domestic situations at the time (i.e. Insurgencies in the western regions, skirmishes in [[Winnecomac]], and illicit trading from the Auqali Republic), was not needed or wanted by the Woqalate. This angered many Tierradorian residents, many of which began to show their already-high frustrations with the House of Woqelee. Benito Cruz-Morales, the fourth governor of the Republic of Auqali & Sonaxa, saw this as an opportunity to begin integrating surrounding areas into the Auqali regime. The heightened trade of illicit substances, such as [[copium]], [[loreium]], marijuana, and cocaine, began to raise suspicions from the Imperial Government back in Qabór. In 1907, Saku established the [[Imports and Exports Regulation Authority]] (IERA). The IERA's main purpose was to control any products or items imported into the Woqalate, in order to deter and eventually reduce illegal activity across Tierradorian borders. Despite this, drug mafias funded by the Auqali Republic managed to bypass the heightened border security with Tierrador through guerrilla tactics and careful placement of illegal goods in their modes of transporation. This would begin a domino effect which culminated in the [[1909 Čahaaga checkpoint incident]], in which IERA agents were captured and held hostage at the border checkpoint near [[Čahaaga, Auqali]]. The following year, on February 7, 1910, Saku would declare war on Auqali & Sonaxa. Much similar to the Invasion of Arrecife almost twenty years prior, the invasion was swift, with the Auqali Army being overwhelmed by the intense and clever guerrilla tactics of the Tierrador Armed Forces. On January 31, 1911, Auqali and Sonaxa were annexed by the Tierradorian Woqalate. Despite the swift victory, Tierrador still experienced mass casualties, causing outrage against Saku and the House of Woqelee. Civil unrest occurred across several Tierradorian major cities, with lower and middle class Tierradorians determined to take down the House of Woqelee. On October 3, 1911, two hundred Armed Forces personnel, led by former Qabóri Guard sergeant [[Auno Sanléc]], led a coup d'etat against the House of Woqelee. They stormed the Woqelee Palace in Qabór, where the members of the House of Woqelee members were forced out of the Palace and exiled to [[Republic of Lakawachee (1877–1965)|Lakawachee]].

They stormed the Woqelee Palace in Qabór, where the members of the House of Woqelee members were forced out of the Palace and exiled to [[Republic of Tawakee (1877–1965)|Tawakee]].


Following the storming of the Woqelee Palace, Sanléc crowned himself as the first male monarch in Tierradorian history, renaming the position to '''High Woqal''', signifying the moral victory he believed to have gained after overthrowing the House of Woqelee. 1911 began the [[Walakee Tierrador|House of Walakee]]'s reign over Tierrador. Sanléc's reign was regarded as "uneventful," as no major global events that involved Tierrador took place during his reign as High Woqal. One of the most notable policies implemented by Sanléc included the [[Tierradorian land reforms (1923–1963|various land reforms]] that he signed into effect via [[Crown Order]]. The reforms would last for forty years and saw the beginning of agricultural subsidies. The continued support for these policies throughout Walakee Tierrador earned the ruling dynasty the nickname "the Farming Dynasty," due to the agriculture-focused policies enacted throughout the 20th century. On April 6, 1931, Sanléc suffered a near-fatal heart attack, and was temporarily removed from the throne in order to give him time to recover. In his place was [[Home Office|Home Officer]] [[Nathan Krauža]]. Krauža had garnered a reputation of being "Tierrador-first," encouraging many to consider whether they are benefitting the Woqalate, which had led many to believe that Krauža would be selected as the successor should Sanléc die. However, when Sanléc suffered a second heart attack and was on the brink of death, he announced that the throne would be given to his daughter, [[Satola Sanléc]], rather than Krauža. Enraged, Krauža punched the High Woqal in the chest, triggering a third heart attack, killing him immediately. After this incident, Krauža was arrested by the Woqalate Guard and sentenced to life in prison.

After this incident, Krauža was arrested by the Woqalate Guard and sentenced to life in prison.


High Woqala Satola Sanléc ascended to the throne as the second monarch of the Walakee Dynasty in 1931, at the beginning of a pivotal time throughout Tierrador's history. During her reign, the presence of Tierrador on the international stage grew exponentially, boosting the nation's economy. Despite this, Sanléc's administration began outlawing certain media outlets, due to their continued criticism of the House of Walakee. One of these outlets included the Kiravian-based [[List of Kiravian news outlets#South Crona Morning Post|South Crona Morning Post]], which had began radio broadcasts throughout Tierrador in 1934. This would soon pave the way into political censorship, where any statement from an opposition party had to be proofread by the House of Walakee, which often resulted in heavy redactions, causing confusion amongst those party's supporters. Sanléc expressed the importance of a unified Tierrador in a 1936 speech, which was dubbed the "Tierradorian Promise speech".

==Culture and Society ==
Culture in Tierrador is very diverse and mixed, consisting of cultures from around the world, but predominantly from Crona, Great Kirav and Audonia. Tierrador is considered a “melting pot” of cultures, with over 150 languages being recorded throughout Tierradorian history. Mainstream Tierradorian culture is an Occidental culture largely derived from a number of factors including: the nation's key commercial location centered in South Crona, its rapidly changing history, going from an Empire to an authoritarian regime, and back to a traditional liberal democracy, and its status as a major power, traditions originating from foreign immigrants from nations such as [[Kiravia]] and [[Alstin]], and cultural practices stemming back several centuries to the days of the Qabór Empire and the Abio Nations.

Tierradorians have traditionally been characterized by a unifying belief in an "Tierradorian creed" emphasizing liberty, equality under the law, democracy, social equality, property rights, and a preference for limited government. Individualism, having a strong work ethic, competitiveness, and altruism are also cited values. According to a 2026 study by the Charities Aid Foundation, Tierradorians donated 1.73% of total GDP to charity, the highest in the world by a large margin. Tierrador is home to a wide variety of ethnic groups, traditions, and values, and exerts major cultural influence on a global scale, with the phenomenon being termed Tierradorization. As such, the Tierradorian Republic is considered a cultural superpower. Mainstream Tierradorian culture is described as an Occidental culture mixed with South Cronan indigenous culture, most notably Qabór and Tauçan, with the addition of many smaller Abio Nations (Youkafee, Polelu, Tounakee, Abamo, etc.). Coscivian culture is very large in Tierrador as well, with many characteristics of Tierradorian culture being derived from Kiravia, such as architecture and linguistics.
