===Tiraket===
===Tiraket===
The name "Tiraket" originated from the older Qabóri term ''Tira kelo poket,'' which translates roughly to "Land of gold," due to the Qabóri word ''poket'' meaning "gold". The reason for the use of Tiraket was to distinguish Qabóri land from other tribe lands, as mainly to not cause confusion between hunters from the Qabóri and Youkafee nations. Eventually, as parts of the Qabóri language became Latinized, ''Tira kelo poket'' was eventually merged into one word, "kelo" and "po" had been omitted, and changes in spelling created the word "Tiraket," which is the official name for Tierrador. Despite this, the name "Tierrador" is used by most of the world, as that is what was used by Sarpedonian and Levantine traders in the 19th century.

===Tierrador===
===Tierrador===
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 discovered by [[Pelaxia]] in the late 1600s, 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. Despite this, Tierrador emerged victorious from said conflicts, and was never settled by a colonial power. However, the nation took advantage of its many riches and began trade with Sarpedonian and Levantine powers, in which they began dubbing the nation "Tierrador."

===Tyracca===
In 1951, the name ''Tyracca'' was proposed as an alternative official name for the country. It was derived from a mixture of the [[Western Valley Qabóri]] words ''tyra'' (land), ''acai'' (unite), and ''cal'' (golden), which were merged together to create a word which roughly translated to the "united golden land". Attempts to make ''Tyracca'' the official name were met with little to no success, mainly due to the low population of native WVQ speakers and outright refusal from many different indigenous nations, who felt the Qabóri Nation was being favored over them.

===Aonaali Woqalate===
===Abio Woqalate===


The land that is now Tierrador has been inhabited for thousands of years. The first few thousand years of the nation's history is typically grouped as "Imperial Tierrador." Though it is unclear who created the banner of which the Imperial Tierradorian states fell under, Tierradorian mythology states the existence of the Aonaali Woqalate. The Aonaal ruled the entire South Cronan peninsula, encompassing modern-day Tierrador, [[Istrenya]], [[Ceylonia]], and even parts of [[Alstin]], [[Kuronia]], and [[The Cape]], for close to ten thousand years. The Aonaali Woqalate was a theocratic state, with their main political, economic and societal beliefs stemming from an unknown monotheistic religious following, often leading to many disagreements with the various regions of the Woqalate. The Aonaali were believed to be extremely technologically advanced, leading to theories that the forefathers (or foremothers due to the matriarchal nature of the empire) of the Aonaal were actually a group of extraterrestrial outcasts who were exiled from their home planet to Earth, where they began the unknown religion to appeal to the natives. The Aonaal was an absolute monarchy and a matriarchal society, ruled by a female monarch called the '''Woqali'''. While the Aonaal was an absolute monarchy, there has been proof of a legislative body forming sometime around 3600 BC. The official language was Ancient Aonaal, which historians today struggle to decipher the meanings of various Aonaal texts due to the texts being written in an unknown script. Many words from the various Abio languages were believed to have been derived from the Aonaal language.
The land that is now Tierrador has been inhabited for thousands of years. The first few thousand years of the nation's history was very complex, as the peninsula was divided into many different tribes. These tribes were mostly grouped under [[Abioic civilization]], which eventually grew to rule the entire South Cronan peninsula, encompassing modern-day Tierrador, [[Istrenya]], [[Ceylonia]], [[Ormatia]], [[Porlos]], and even parts of [[Alstin]], [[Kuronia]], and [[The Cape]], for close to 10,000 years. The main nation-state, concentrated in eastern Tierrador, Ceylonia, and Istrenya, was called the Abio Woqalate. The Woqalate was a theocratic state, with their main political, economic and societal beliefs stemming from many different regional religious following, often leading to many disagreements within the various tribes of the Woqalate. The central government of the Abio Woqalate was regarded as an absolute monarchy, along with being a matriarchal society, ruled by a female monarch called the '''[[Woqali of Tierrador|Woqali]]'''. While the Woqalate was an absolute monarchy, there has been proof of a legislative body forming sometime around 3600 BC. The official language was [[Ancient Abioic]], with its writing system, while lost in the 13th century, was evolved into the modern [[Unified Abioic-Cronan syllabics]]. Ancient Abioic would be branched off into various tribal languages in the 2nd-1st century BC.


According to the various anecdotes and cultural myths, the Aonaal were an isolationist empire, and used many unusual socio-political elements in their day-to-day operations. Women were held to a high standard, and considered as the highest rank of Aonaal society, while men were usually considered to be second-class citizens, usually dependent on their wife or mother whenever it came to everyday activities. Despite this, many laws were put in place throughout the existence of the Aonaal outlawing many inhumane practices, such as slavery, torture, and sacrifice, with these laws being heavily enforced throughout Aonaal, the rest of the Imperial Tierradorian era. The Aonaali Woqalate was founded around 4000 BC, though it believed to have dated back to around 12,500 BC, and existed for over 10,000 years, where they then collapsed sometime around 1500 BC. The collapse of the Empire also brought along the disappearance of most evidence of the empire's existence. Because of this, the existence of the Aonaal before 4000 BC is a highly-debated topic throughout Tierradorian society, however, archeologists have discovered the ruins of many ancient structures, with various unique characteristics not linked to the Abio, Qabór or Tierrador Empires, leading to increased belief of the Aonaal's existence.
It was unclear when Abioic civilization first stepped foot in South Crona, however most historians agree that some indigenous peoples from Central/Northern Crona migrated to Tierrador and surrounding areas from 3245 BC - 790 BC. From that point on, the indigenous peoples began establishing tribal settlements. These settlements were usually small, consisting of about 200-250 inhabitants, and were primarily used for hunting, fishing, or agriculture. The hunting and fishing settlements were usually nomadic, where they usually migrated to different parts of Tierrador depending on the season. For example, a hunting settlement focused on Tauçan bison usually stayed at the foot of the Tauçan Mountain Range during the summer months, when the bison migrate down to the lowland areas for their mating season. However, once the summer months ended, both the bison and the hunting settlements would migrate up the mountains, so that the settlements would have a yearly supply of bison.


===Early Abio Woqalate===
Some of the settlements were also permanent. These settlements were primarily focused on agriculture, as the season for agriculture is the same no matter what. These types usually were found in the southern and lowland regions of Tierrador, as the climates in those areas allowed for longer growing seasons and ideal crop harvests. The settlements would often interact with other settlements, mostly bartering for goods that they usually cannot produce themselves (e.g. A hunting settlement will trade deer meat to an agricultural settlement in exchange for corn). In most cases, the settlements would even form tribes and cooperate with the settlements in said tribes. Most of these settlements and tribes were all under the banner of the Abio Woqalate, though some agreements were very vague and it became difficult for the Abioic central government to rule over the tribes.
Following the disappearance of the Aonaal around 4,500 years ago, it was unclear when the following inhabitants of Tierrador stepped foot in the nation, however most historians agree that some indigenous peoples from East Alshar and Central/Northern Crona migrated to Tierrador and surrounding areas from 1245 BC - 790 BC. From that point on, the indigenous peoples began establishing settlements. These settlements were usually small, consisting of about 200-250 inhabitants, and were primarily used for hunting, fishing, or agriculture.

These settlements and tribes were all under the banner of the Abio Woqalate, an isolationist kingdom deriving most of its civil, societal, and political characteristics from the ancient Aonaali Woqalate. One of the major tribes were known as the '''Qabór Tribe''' and were prominent in Eastern and Southern Tierrador. The Qabór Tribe, along with several smaller tribes, for close to a thousand years, expanded its borders to cover all of modern-day Tierrador and even parts of [[Ceylonia]] and [[Istrenya]], under a united Abio Woqalate banner, until the [[Qabóri Reform]] in 62 AD, which marked the beginning of the Qabóri Woqalate along with the Qabóri Common Era. The coastal city of [[Qabór]] served as the capital from 164 AD until it was destroyed by Abio warriors in 671 AD, during the Great Qabóri War. These tribes were (and still are) referred to as the '''Abio''' and they were the historical rulers of modern-day Tierrador.

===Qabóri Woqalate===
===Qabóri Woqalate===
The Qabóri Woqalate was the third indigenous Woqalate depicted in the Imperial Tierradorian era. According to historians, the Woqalate was founded on April 9, 62 AD, also marking the beginning of the Qabóri Common Era and the Qabóri Calendar, due to the implementation of the Qabóri Reform and the Qabóri Tribe "breaking away" from the confines of the Abio Empire. This significant event led to the establishment of a centralized and organized political system, laying the foundations for the Qabóri Woqalate's rise to power. Similar to the Abio Woqalate, the nation was ruled by a Woqala, an absolute monarch, and most of the Qabóri settlements were built on agriculture, hunting and fishing. For centuries, the empire engaged in an ongoing war with the Abio, starting in 261 AD and continuing until 677 AD. The conflict with the Abio was marked by territorial disputes, military confrontations, and periods of intense hostility between the two empires. This prolonged conflict heavily influenced the Qabori Woqalate's policies, shaping its military strategies and socio-political landscape during this era.

This prolonged conflict heavily influenced the Qabori Woqalate's policies, shaping its military strategies and socio-political landscape during this era.


The Qabóri Reform also marked the founding of the imperial capital of [[Qabór]] (named after the Qabóri people). From 150 AD to 274 AD, Qabór was the largest city in the world, with a population of 156,000, built on the coast of the Songun Sea, making it easier for maritime trade to occur. This also marked the beginning of international relations with other countries, in which the Qabóri Woqalate would begin trade with other countries, as opposed to the Abio Woqalate's policy of isolationism, derived completely from the ancient Aonaali Woqalate. During the Abio-Qabór War, Abio warriors raided and destroyed the capital city of Qabór in 675 AD during a fierce battle with the Qabóri defense forces. This catastrophic event had profound implications for the empire, leading to political upheaval and social turmoil within its borders. Despite this, the Qabóri did not surrender, instead launching massive raids of Abio cities and settlements, completely destroying the integrity of the Abio Empire. By 677 AD, the lands claimed by the Abio Woqalate were now under the banner of the Qabóri Woqalate. The ruling government of the Qabóri Woqalate implemented various socio-economic policies, reversing many of the Abio-Aonaal policies. The new Qabóri policies were regarded as the first case of successful equal rights implemented in a modern-day society, with all of these policies still holding true in the modern-day Tierradorian Republic. From 62 AD to 1733 AD, then again from 1823 to 1867, the Qabóri Woqalate was ruled by several ruling dynasties: Qwahakee, Abamo, Qhamahee, Erboq, Shchapha'qa, and the Havqanoq. During the Qwahakee, Abamo, and Qhamahee Dynasties, the Qabóri Woqalate warred constantly with the Abio Woqalate. These wars led to the mass territorial expansion of the Qabóri Woqalate, and the dwindling of the Abio Woqalate. These wars were called the Abio Wars, and began in 62 AD after the Qabóri Reform and the seceding of the Qabóri Tribe from the Abio Woqalate, and lasted until the burning of Qabór in 675 and the [[Obshqal]], which was the final offensive led by the Qabóri Woqalate from 675 AD to 679 AD, which brought the Qabóri Woqalate to its territorial peak.

Following the Obshqal, the Qabóri Woqalate was considered a regional superpower throughout ancient Crona. During the early years of Qabór, the Empire directly traded with the [[North Songun Civilization]], bartering for goods not typically found in the Qabóri Woqalate, and relying on the Civilization for assistance during the Abio Wars, which helped the Qabóri greatly. After the fall of the North Songun Civilization, the Qabóri began establishing vassal states in what is now [[Kelekona]], [[Kuronia]] and [[Istrenya]]. These vassals were created as a means to keep a strong influence over South Crona without barring the responsibility of governing the large amount of land, which was considered impractical at the time. Following [[Aster's expedition]] in the 1380s, the Qabóri Woqalate began international trade and commerce with the [[Occidental World]], leading to the creation of the Qabóri Trading Company (now [[Vallos-Tierrador Banking Corporation|VTBC]]) along with [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] traders in 1412, boosting the Qabóri economy hundred-fold. Despite the newfound economic success, the Qabóri Woqalate under the Lebhonq Dynasty would be the last of the Qabóri banner. From 1689 to 1733, the reduction of the Qabóri Empire's territory led to the political and economic structure to completely collapse. The [[Bogocían Kingdom (1631–1820)|Kingdom of Bogocía]] broke away from the Qabóri Woqalate in 1631, led by the Oro Dynasty. Despite this, many elements of the Qabóri Woqalate still remained within the independent kingdom, such as the use of the Qabóri Calendar and the complex bureaucratic structure of the former empire.

During the reign of Woqali Aphía V and Anteria I under the Shchapha'qa Dynasty, Qabór’s power and territory reduced heavily from its peak in the 1200s. This was at the point where diplomatic relationships and commerce with fellow Cronan power [[Alstin]] began, along with the colonial endeavors of [[Cartadania]] taking modern-day [[Ceylonia]] and [[Aracadó]] (the latter of which would be reclaimed just 30 years later) from Qabór. Following the beginning of the 18th century, the residents of the Qabóri Woqalate grew increasingly apathetic towards the ruling dynasty, attitudes that have never before been witnessed throughout the history of Imperial Tierrador. In 1724, the Auqali Commonwealth declared its independence from the Woqalate. This was not approved by the Woqali, who declared war on the breakaway region and began the first Auqali Revolution. The violent revolution lasted for 5 years and resulted in the economic and military resources of the Qabóri Woqalate being drained, leading to increased taxation on unrepresented civilians, leading to increased public unrest. Because of this unrest, a young student named Aubo Šoqa led a group of fellow students across the streets of [[Qabór]] for a demonstration against the Woqali. These demonstrations would occur every day, and would soon lead to the [[Qabór Massacre]] in 1732, where the Imperial Army opened fire on the students after one of the demonstrations got violent. In April 1733, Šoqa, along with many close acquaintances, convinced the Imperial Army to mutiny against the Woqala, beginning the Revolution of 1733. The revolution lasted for 7 months, with the [[Tierrador Charter]] being ratified in November of 1733.

===Late 18th Century to Mid-19th Century===


Following the [[Revolution of 1733]] and the the ratifying of the Tierrador Charter, the Tierradorian Empire was formally dissolved and the nation was an morphed into two new nations, the Tierradorian Confederate Republic, with Aubo Šoqa serving as president, and the Western Republic, which governed over the qoyalets of [[Tulangia]], [[Ulunkheria]], [[Alcosky]], [[Qazrogzo]], and [[Undursky]]. Little changed procedurally as while the Tierrador Charter stated that the nation was a union of ten independent nations with heavy limits on the central government’s power, only three of the ten commonwealths possessed said powers and rights. The [[Republic of Auqali and Sonaxa (1727–1910)|Auqali Republic]] was not technically considered part of the Tierradorian Confederation, rather a full sovereign, independent nation, with its own military and political interests. The other two commonwealths, [[Moscakee Republic (1803–1892|Moscakee]] and Bogocía were considered semi-independent, however still governed from central government. The central government, while in theory did not possess much power, still acted as an authoritarian regime and attempted to suppress many laws and ideas coined by the commonwealths. However, these endeavors were never successful.

However, these endeavors were never successful.


The Tierradorian Confederation was considered weak and unstable, and the Tierrador Charter and its contents were not considered a true frame of government. Despite the pseudo-power projection, the central government had no true power over the commonwealths, leading regions like Auqali and Arrecife to declare themselves independent without any real resistance from the central government. The leader of the Confederation was appointed by the governors of the commonwealths, and had no true power, either, serving as a figurehead for the entire nation and was only consulted to for international relations, therefore expressing fact that there was no true need for a leader in Taisgol. This form of government continued on for about 60 years until 1796, when Tesío Takosenia, the governor of the Republic of Las Rozas, attempted to declare the commonwealth independent, as he felt that the Confederation was holding his region back from prosperity. This was met with an unusual response, the nine other commonwealths united to send their regional militias to Las Rozas to ”dissuade” Takosenia from declaring independence. Eventually, this would begin the Takosenic Era of Tierrador, which also began with the [[Takosenic-Kostaric Wars]].

Following the Revolution of 1823, the Qabóri Guard declared the return of Imperial Qabór. Qavlan I, a senior member of the Qabóri Guard and the matriarch of the Havqanoq Dynasty, implemented herself as the Woqali of the newly-reformed Woqalate. Qavlan I began her reign by invading, conquering, and admitting the Kingdom of Bogocía back into the Qabóri Woqalate. She would then also implement various policies of devolution, which included the return of the historical qoyalets (provinces) of the Qabóri Woqalate, though as a second-tier subdivision, below the commonwealths. Following the death of Qavlan I in 1831, many revisions to the Woqalate Charter took place, which saw the introduction of many modern bureaucratic institutions, including Imperial and Tribunal Courts, the Qangreč, and the Tribunal Executive Offices. This was referred to as the [[Second Qabóri Reformation]] and shaped the Woqalate into what it is now. The Havqanoq also opened up the Woqalate to international relations and trade, along with the conquering of many island colonies. The biggest impact of this era would be the heightened positive relationship with fellow Cronan power [[Alstin]]. Much of modern-day Tierradorian culture and way of life has a large amount of Alstinian influence, especially within the eestern regions, due to their close proximity to the nation. Diplomatic relations began in 1849 when newly-coronated Woqali Saqula II visited [[Alstin (City)|Alstin City]], and met with the Alstinian Parliament to propose a free trade deal. Qabór also began relations with [[Kuronia]] and [[Kiravia]]. While the Havqanoq Dynasty were well-respected by the international community, the people of the Qabóri Woqalate did not respond positively to the various policies from the Havqanoq. In 1867, members of the Qabóri Guard mutinied against Woqali Qavlan II, exiling her to the independent dominion of Tawakee, where she lived out the rest of her life. The [[Qabóri Succession War]] was fought between sympathizers of the Havqanoq Dynasty and the newly-founded Woqelee Dynasty, who claimed to fight for the people of the Woqalate. The war was one of the bloodiest conflicts in Tierradorian history, and it lasted from 1867 to 1874, and resulted in the House of Havqanoq being overthrown, and the implementation of the Tierradorian Woqalate, with its capital based in Taisgol rather than Qabór.  
Following the Revolution of 1823, the Qabóri Guard declared the return of Imperial Qabór. Qavlan I, a senior member of the Qabóri Guard and the matriarch of the Havqanoq Dynasty, implemented herself as the Woqali of the newly-reformed Woqalate. Qavlan I began her reign by invading, conquering, and admitting the Kingdom of Bogocía back into the Qabóri Woqalate.

Under Woqali Qyulei II, the main goal of the Tierradorian Woqalate was to return to the traditional borders of the ancient Qabóri Woqalate, which included the borders of eastern Tierrador and the struggling Western Republic. In 1874, Tierrador invaded the Western Republic, beginning the Western War. The Western War would last for five years, and resulted in the coerced admission of the five western commonwealths into the Tierradorian Woqalate. This war would strain the newly-established relationship with Alstin, as the United Republic was one of the parties fighting against Woqelee Tierrador in the Qabóri Succession War. They feared that the growing Tierradorian state would come knocking at their door at any moment following the Western War. This lead to the leaders of both nations meeting once again, in 1885, this time in Taisgol. The Alstinians were reassured that any aggression against them would not occur, however the nation still acted with caution in any interaction with Tierrador. The 1880s were also a time of growing influence from [[Coscivian civilisation|Coscivian culture]], as the close proximity with [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] settlements and the former Kiravian colony of [[Paulastra]] brought along consistent Coscivian immigration to Tierrador. Eventually, many of Tierrador's major cities contained a large Coscivian population, expecially in the midwestern regions of the country. Meanwhile, many issues brought upon by the independent republics of Moscakee and Porvaos were the roots of increasing concern within the Woqalate. Moscakee's economy had been on the decline for several decades prior to the turn of the 19th century, and many feared that Arrecife would attempt to "expand its horizons." In an 1892 letter to Woqali Qyulei III, Moscakee President Yordán Hernandez all but guaranteed an attack from Moscakee. In early 1893, Qyulei ordered the first invasion of the Moscakee Republic. Despite outnumbering the Arrecife Militia three to one, the Tierradorian offensives failed, due to poor planning from the Taisgol commanders. Following this, on April 7, 1893, Qyulei abdicated the throne out of humiliation, and was replaced by her younger sister, Woqali Saku. Immediately after taking the throne, Saku reorganized the Tierrador Militia, renaming it to the [[Tierrador Armed Forces]], and signed into effect a law of {{wp|conscription}} for all residents aged 18 to 23. Because of this, thousands of students began protesting in the streets of Qabór, as they did not wish to live in fear of having to risk their lives for Tierrador. Despite these demonstrations, the law remained in effect until 1971. On July 13, 1893, following the reforms, Woqali Saku ordered a second offensive against the Moscakee Republic. Unlike the last invasion, this one was quite successful, lasting only two months, and ended with the defeat of the Moscakee Militia and Hernandez's regime.

Meanwhile, many issues brought upon by the independent republics of Moscakee and Porvaos were the roots of increasing concern within the Woqalate. Moscakee's economy had been on the decline for several decades prior to the turn of the 19th century, and many feared that Moscakee would attempt to invade a neighboring region. In early 1893, Qyulei ordered the first [[1893 Qabóri-Moscakee War|invasion of the Moscakee Republic]]. Despite outnumbering the Moscakee Militia three to one, the Tierradorian offensives failed, due to poor planning from the Taisgol commanders.

After the Moscakee conflict, Woqali Saku began working towards friendly diplomatic relations with overseas powers such Kiravia and [[Caphiria]]. Saku met with the leaders of both countries on several occasions from 1894 to 1895, and shortly after, embassies between the nations were constructed in Qabór.

===20th Century Tierrador===


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, Woqali 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 commonwealths, 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 Tawakee (1877–1965)|Tawakee]].

Many Tierradorians felt that the country had an obligation to fight alongside its allies, however, Woqali Saku preferred neutrality, as it gave leeway for government weapons sales to both sides.

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 '''Grand Woqali''', 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 Grand Woqali. 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 Grand Woqali 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. Grand Woqali 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".

Tierrador did not participate in the Second Great War in 1941. Despite this, Sanléc would begin pouring government money into heavy defense should the nation have been invaded by either side. By doing this, Sanléc would establish the [[Treaty of the Commonwealths]], which stated that in the event of foreign aggression, the Imperial Government would be dissolved, and all first-level subdivisions would band together to fight off the invaders. Sanléc also invested in heavy artillery scattered throughout the countryside, along with massive fortified structures in the mountainous areas, and thousands of refuges for civilians. Tierrador would also supply weapons and ammunition to its closest ally Alstin, which would end up leaving the nation’s economy in a rough state. Growing discontent with Sanléc’s reign over the country, along with a slow rebuilding period, many took to the streets of major Tierradorian cities. The [[Qabór Riots]] in 1949 were staged by 1800 [[Qabór University]] students, causing mass destruction across the city. Sanléc, growing fearful of a potential revolution, fled Qabór and moved the capital to [[Holčaq]], where it remained until 1952. Following this move, she then authorized the violent counteroffensive towards the rioters with the Qabóri Guard. This would result in the [[1951 Battle of Qabór]], where 500 Qabóri Guardsmen clashed with over 1,000 protesters, resulting in many casualties for both sides and a move that practically ostracized Tierrador from the newly-founded [[League of Nations]]. The country’s neighbors would impose harsh economic sanctions on the country, which enraged the rest of the population, who were completely unaware of the situation that had occurred in Qabór. Sanléc’s approval rating, which was judged by a metric heavily skewed in bias towards the Woqalate, dropped to the lowest of any modern Tierradorian leader, a staggering 4.7%.

Line 181: Line 179:
Sanléc would resign as Grand Woqali on March 11, 1953, and was replaced by Defense Officer and diplomat [[Pedro Kintón]]. Kintón was mainly characterized by his aggressive and unpredictable foreign policy, nicknamed the "Tierrador first" policy. He began to increase tariffs on products from [[Sarpedon]] and [[Levantia]], which significantly decreased the country's trade deficit over the course of the 1950s. He had also begun to expand Tierradorian influence to different parts of the world, specifically to its neighbors in South Crona, [[Vallos]], [[Polynesia]], and [[Audonia]]. The Tierradorian presence in both [[Teschego]] and the [[Saukhin Islands]] allowed for a significant amount of control over the [[Orixtal Sea]] and the [[Polynesian Sea]] trade routes, which gave it a significant amount of influence over trade between Crona and Audonia, and Sarpedon, though to a lesser degree. While Kintón was somewhat active in international politics, these actions were mostly done to secure Tierrador's spot as a great power in Crona. His main policies were a lot more drawn to domestic issues within the country. In 1954, Premier [[Qalir Šotas]] would establish the first instance of a nuclear weapons program in Tierrador, nicknamed the [[Tana'oska Program]]. Both Kintón and the Qangreč were hesitant to begin testing nuclear weapons, however Kintón would eventually approve the program and begin to allocate military funding towards it. The Qangreč, however, had attempted to block the program's development numerous times, however to no avail. On September 4, 1958, the Tana'oska Program successfully enriched uranium for the first time, and one year later, Tierrador had developed its first nuclear missile. The development of the missile led to condemnations domestic and foreign. Within that same year, [[Nai Naqular]], a non-profit organization which protested against nuclear weapons, power, and uranium extraction and distribution, was founded in [[Topaqoí]], and quickly spread throughout the Woqalate. When it was announced that the first nuclear test would occur in the [[Saukhin Lagoon]], Nai Naqular began holding demonstrations across the Saukhin Islands. Nevertheless, on September 9, 1961, ''Taiyo I'' was detonated in the Saukhin Lagoon. Tierrador's newfound nuclear capabilities also opened up the ability to develop clean energy sources throughout the country. Kintón had begun to subsidize nuclear power capabilities in not just Tierrador, but in Ceylonia and Porlos as well. On June 3, 1962, the [[Renewable Energy Act]] was signed into effect by Kintón, and had created a goal for more than 80% of Tierrador's power to be supplied by clean and efficient methods by 2000. Two years later, in 1964, Kintón would oversee the construction and opening of the [[Miccubo Basin Plant]] in [[Miccubo, Telohakee]], the first nuclear power station in Tierrador. Domestic reactions to the nuclear wave were mixed, with most praising Kintón's transition to efficient power sources, however others were growing discontent at the country's nuclear weapons testing.

Domestic reactions to the nuclear wave were mixed, with most praising Kintón's transition to efficient power sources, however others were growing discontent at the country's nuclear weapons testing.  


Also occurring in 1964 were the beginnings of massive rifts in diplomatic relations between Tierrador's immediate South Cronan neighbors. [[Istrenya|Istrenyan]] President [[Woko'eli Koko]], while originally pro-Walakee and aligned with Kintón on foreign policy, would eventually sever ties with both Kintón and [[Ceylonia]]. Koko would later fund the populist/cartel-led [[Tawakee Liberation Army]] to overthrow the government of the Republic of Tawakee. What ensued became known as the [[1964 Tawakee Coup d'etat]], and saw the TLA attempting to take over the island country. Tawakee President [[Javier Nantes]] enlisted the help of Tierrador and Ceylonia, and the TLA's resistance was quickly crushed by the joint forces in the [[Calico Bay War]]. There was a debate for the use of nuclear weapons against the TLA, however Kintón decided against it, citing how it would diminish Tierrador's global reputation. Following the Calico Bay War, Tawakee would be annexed and integrated as an autonomous first-level division of the country. Many elements, including the outbreak of the Calico Bay War, the unstable South Cronan geopolitics, and the appointment of the extremely nationalist Premier [[Aphío A. Woderq]] characterized the major buildup to the [[Mosquito War]], which was the direct conflict involving Tierrador, Ceylonia and Istrenya. The onset of the war led to rise in [[Draft dodging in Tierrador|open defiance to military conscription]] and [[Anti-war movements during the Walakee State|wide opposition]] to the interventions against Istrenya. This made what originally was supposed to be a short military operation turn into a drawn-out and humiliating five-year war against a much smaller military force. In response to this, Tierrador, Porlos, and Ceylonia would sign the [[South Cronan Mutual Defense Treaty]], which states that in the event of foreign aggression against one of the three signatories, all nations involved would assist them. In 1968, three major events, including the involvement of [[Kuronia]] on Istrenya's side, a [[Songun Straits War|Capetian invasion of Ceylonia]], which led to [[Ceylonian withdrawal from the Mosquito War|Ceylonia's withdrawal]] under new leader [[Aldó Chavez]], had occurred in the span of only five months, and it worsened the effects for Kintón's forces. By 1969, the TDF had begun to withdraw its troops in massive numbers while deploying many more to Ceylonia to combat Capetian forces. Following the [[Dalton Accords]] in 1970, Tierrador had officially withdrawn all troops from Istrenya, effectively ending the Mosquito War. Kintón would eventually cut his losses and move on from diplomatic approaching with Kuronia and Istrenya, while shifting his main focus towards the Songun Straits War. This war would continue until 1974, and would end in the Cape being pushed out of Ceylonia along with a three-decades long embargo placed on the Cape by Tierrador, Porlos, and Ceylonia.

[[Istrenya|Istrenyan]] President [[Woko'eli Koko]], while originally pro-Walakee and aligned with Kintón on foreign policy, would eventually sever ties with both Kintón and [[Ceylonia]] due to ideological differences.

What ensued became known as the [[1964 Tawakee Coup d'etat]], and saw the TLA attempting to take over the island country.

Following the Calico Bay War, Tawakee would be annexed and integrated as an autonomous first-level division of the country. Many elements, including the outbreak of the Calico Bay War, the unstable South Cronan geopolitics, and the appointment of the extremely nationalist Premier [[Aphío A. Woderq]] characterized the major buildup to the [[Mosquito War]], which was the direct conflict involving Tierrador, Ceylonia and Istrenya. The onset of the war led to rise in [[Draft dodging in Tierrador|open defiance to military conscription]] and [[Anti-war movements during the Walakee State|wide opposition]] to the interventions against Istrenya. The initial broadcasting of the war with Tierrador as the invading power added on to domestic opposition to war in Istrenya. In response to this, Tierrador, Porlos, and Ceylonia would sign the [[South Cronan Mutual Defense Treaty]], which states that in the event of foreign aggression against one of the three signatories, all nations involved would assist them. In 1968, three major events, including the involvement of [[Kuronia]] on Istrenya's side, a [[Songun Straits War|Capetian invasion of Ceylonia]], which led to [[Ceylonian withdrawal from the Mosquito War|Ceylonia's withdrawal]] under new leader [[Aldó Chavez]], had occurred in the span of only five months, and it worsened the effects for Kintón's forces. By 1969, the TDF had begun to withdraw its troops in massive numbers while deploying many more to Ceylonia to combat Capetian forces. Following the [[Dalton Accords]] in 1970, Tierrador had officially withdrawn all troops from Istrenya, effectively ending the Mosquito War. Kintón would eventually cut his losses and move on from diplomatic approaching with Kuronia and Istrenya, while shifting his main focus towards the Songun Straits War. This war would continue until 1974, and would end in the Cape being pushed out of Ceylonia along with a three-decades long embargo placed on the Cape by Tierrador, Porlos, and Ceylonia.


Kintón had taken a massive hit in popularity following the failure that was the Mosquito War. So much so that dissent and anti-Walakee rhetoric, which was outlawed by several ''de facto'' security laws, became more apparent throughout daily Tierradorian life. Despite this, Kintón slowly began to build back his pre-war popularity, signing the [[Heartland Development Act of 1971]], which created the environmental protection-oriented [[Heartland Development Board]], and the [[UNEM Act of 1973]], which created the controversial [[United National Emergency Mitigation|UNEM]]. Newly-appointed Premier [[Daniel W.K. Šaphiana]] introduced a new form of hard-labor prison camps, nicknamed [[Summit Camps]]. Originally, the Summit Camps were for felons who committed violent crimes, such as murder, however the criteria quickly expanded to political dissidents, journalists, and anti-Walakee activists. Most of the time, these prisoners would be sent without trial. Šaphiana's Summit Camps would turn Walakee Tierrador into a police state, leading to a rift between democratic ally Alstin, along with the [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association|LOTA]], whom have had their issues already with Kintón's leadership. Despite the country being characterized by its authoritarian regime, Tierrador would begin to see a massive population boom, consisting mostly of Sarpedonian, Kiravian, and Audonian immigrants taking advantage of the various foreign employment programs put into place by the Tierradorian government. In 1977, Tierrador joined the [[Air Traffic Regulatory Organization]], which allowed for easier and safer international air travel to and from the country.

The end of the 1970s for Tierrador was characterized by a roller-coaster of relations between it and its neighbor Asteria. Growing conflict between the rightful ownership of the city of [[Winnecomac]] led to an official revocation of recognition by both Kintón and Šaphiana in 1978. By that point, it was a matter of time before Tierrador and Asteria would be engaged in all-out war. On December 7, 1981, Asterian soldiers would march into [[Tulangia]], sparking the [[Cowboy Crisis]]. Despite being caught heavily off-guard, the TDF was able to regroup, and with the help of civilian guerrilla forces, and a coalition of Ceylo-Porlosi troops invoked by the SCMDT. By the summer of 1982, Asterian troops were pushed back beyond the border, but the TDF did not stop there. They then decided to push even further into Asteria, taking over a massive chunk of the country's northern half. Exactly one year later, the TDF had reached [[Concordia]] and [[Yarmouth]], holding the cities as occupied military territory until the [[Naihungo Accords]] in October 1983. Tierrador's relentlessness and heavy pushback in the Cowboy Crisis further proved its strength against foreign opponents, and the country became known worldwide as somewhat impossible to successfully invade.

In a national referendum on New Years Eve of 1989, 96% of voters would approve the shift from an authoritarian state back to a Woqalate, with the House of Woqelee would be reinstated at the helm. In what became known as the [[Woqelee Reinstatement]], Mokhar II was crowned as the Woqali of Tierrador, being the first from her respective imperial house to be crowned since Woqali [[Saku]] almost a century earlier. While the Woqelee Reinstatement was initially a peaceful transfer of power, as promised by both parties, the Crown would eventually revoke its promise made to the Walakees, with Mokhar II ordering a purge of anyone within the Walakee State and its sympathizers. The [[Velloč Trials]] occurred from May to December 1990 in [[Velloč]], Tansher, and resulted in 357 high-ranking Walakee officials, oligarchs, and sympathizers being tried, with 298 being convicted of a wide range of crimes, including mass murder, manslaughter, treason, domestic and international terrorism, nearly every type of fraud, arson, extortion, robbery, vandalism and jaywalking. Thirty-seven Walakee officials, including Grand Marshal Nathan Hauqač, were executed by firing squad in Taisgol and Qabór. The remaining convicts were imprisoned in the remaining Summit Camps in Alcosky, Auqali, and Teschego. by None of the oligarchs were convicted, instead being forced to resign from their respective positions. The only remaining Walakee oligarchs that are still working are [[Sivino Orlani]] of [[Prontoburger]], [[Alvaró Togaš]] of VTBC, and [[Kel Aegan]] of the [[Aegan Group]]. Most Walakee policies regarding healthcare, including the health insurance oligopoly across four companies, were abolished in favor of a public [[Ipanacare|universal healthcare system]].

In 1991, [[Nicholas Sauga]] would be elected as Premier of Tierrador. The economic growth of the 1980s were continued under Mokhar II and Sauga, however economists began to speculate that the growth had actually created an [[Tierradorian asset price bubble|asset price bubble]], which was bound to burst at any minute. These speculations would eventually become reality in early 1993, when the bankruptcy of [[Nata'asco Bank]], one of the largest banks in South Crona, would trigger the [[1993 Tierradorian financial crisis]]. The crisis was characterized by the burst of the feared bubble, which resulted in the stagnation of the country's economy. By the summer of 1993, the crisis had spread to Ceylonia, Porlos, and Istrenya, as a large majority of their corporate assets were tied to the Tierradorian price bubble, and in the fall of that year, both the [[Q&Q 100|Qatlas & Qonteri]] and the [[Teklan 250|Teklan]] stock indexes had plummeted as a direct result, and many Tierradorians began to blame Sauga's administration. By the time of the [[1995 Tierradorian general election]], the economy had made a slight recovery thanks to the discovery of oil along both the Tierradorian and Istrenyan coasts of the Songun Sea, and Nicholas Sauga would be re-elected as Premier. By 1996, the financial crisis had ended, due to massive economic reforms implemented via [[Crown Order]] from Mokhar and Sauga. Sauga's second term was characterized by the [[Revised Housing Act of 1995]], which mostly reversed the effects of the Kintónist [[Housing Act of 1964]], and opted for more government-influence by establishing the [[SaugaHome]] agency, meant to be a ruling authority of affordable housing in Tierrador.

Tierrador is divided into 18 fully devolved commonwealths, which are then separated into 33 qoyalets and 9 territories, all represented in the Qangreč, the legislative body of Tierrador. The body of the Qangreč is made up by representatives determined by the populations of the commonwealths. Each of these commonwealths were admitted over a 50-year period, whether by peaceful means or by invasion and coercion. These commonwealths function as their own nations, where they are allowed to govern over their respective qoyalets/territories, 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 commonwealths have their own [[State Patrol]], which in turn is a division of the Tierradorian Defense Forces, and in the event of an armed conflict on Tierradorian soil, the Woqalate can temporarily dissolve and allow the commonwealths to take control against the enemy.

=== Politics===
=== Politics===
Tierrador is a unitary parliamentary semi-constitutional monarchy. The nation is considered a [[w:Hybrid regime|hybrid regime]]. There are close to 120 political parties across the 18 commonwealths and 43 qoyalets/territories of the nation, however, only 11 are represented on the national political circuit. The nation declares itself to be an "indivisible, secular, democratic, and social monarchy". The constitution provides for a separation of powers and proclaims Tierrador’s "attachment to the Rights of All and the principles of National Sovereignty as defined by the Proclamation of 1867". Until the end of the Western War and the ratifying of the Constitution of 1867, the Qabóri Woqalate was an absolute matriarchal monarchy, meaning that the Woqali possessed all power over the Qabóri government and day-to-day operations. After 1867, however, the Woqali’s powers were reduced, meanwhile the Premier's powers were added onto significantly. Despite this, the Woqali still holds quite a lot of power, mostly sharing the responsibilities of running the Woqalate with the Premier.

The Tierradorian Woqalate is an extremely diverse nation, with 21 ancestry groups having more than 1 million self-reported members. Ethnic Qabóri, who typically report ancestry from the Qabóri Nation of Indigenous Cronans, along with some sort of [[Coscivian]], [[Polynesia|Polynesian]], [[Sarpedon|Sarpedonian]], and [[Levantia|Levantine]] influences, form the largest [[w:Race|racial]] and [[w:Ethnic group|ethnic group]] within the nation at 40.9%, or almost 93 million Tierradorians. Remaining non-Qabóri indigenous Cronan Nations, referred to as the [[Abio]], make up 27.6% (about 57.3 million) and are the second-largest group in Tierrador, though they are mostly grouped into the same category as the Qabóri Nation. Coscivians make up 14.1% (22.2 million) of the total population and are the third-largest group in Tierrador. Ængle-origin Tierradorians (mostly from [[Alstin]], [[Urcea]], and Kuronia), make up around 21 million Tierradorians and are 10.2% of the total population. Tierradorians with ancestry from all areas of the [[Audonia|Audonian continent]] are typically recognized within the same group, referred officially as Audonian-Tierradorian. This group makes up almost 10 million Tierradorians and make up 4.8% of the population. Half of the Audonian community reported origin from [[Daxia]], with the rest usually reporting ancestry to [[Metzetta]], [[Umardwal]], [[Tapakdore]], and [[Huoxia]]. The remaining 2.4%, or 5 million, were reported as "other." In 2030, it was reported that the [[w:Population pyramid|median age]] for Tierradorians population was 27.5 years.

===Education===
State-funded education is free of charge and required for children from ages 5 to 18. Students go through 12 years of schooling with the option of attending university for 4-8 years, depending on the career pathway in which they choose. The nationally enforced curriculum, the '''Terranóc Pâtscai le Saúludec (TPS)''', is taught to students from grades 1 to 10. Students are then required take the '''Standard Abilities Exam (SAE)''' in the summer between grades 10 and 11, where they are scored on a range from 500 to 2000. Upon taking the SAE and the completion of the TPS pathway, students then spend grades 11 and 12 being tested on real world activities, such as public speaking, economics, finances, etc. Once they complete secondary education, students take part in a graduation ceremony, usually sponsored by the local government, and are recommended various universities based off of their skill level and choice of career. The literacy rate in Tierrador is 98%, however Tierradorians rank middle of the pack when it comes to education, due to high levels of corruption and many local schools that focus on the prioritization of non-educational activities, such as sports.

Tierrador has many private and public institutions of higher education. There are close to 12,000 local community colleges with generally more open admission policies, shorter academic programs, and lower tuition. Tierrador spends one of the highest amounts on education per student than any nation in the world, spending an average of $9,794 per year on public elementary and secondary school students in the 2026–2027 school year. As for public expenditures on higher education, Tierrador spends more per student than the global average, and more than almost all nations in combined public and private spending. Tierradorian public universities are jointly-administrated by the regional and provincial governments, and usually do not charge much for tuition. Private universities, on the other hand, are administrated by an independent organization, typically a religious or international organization, and they are normally very difficult to be admitted into and charge high numbers for tuition. 71% of Tierradorian university students attend a public university or college, while the remaining 19% attend a private university or college.
