'''Takatta Loa''', officially known as the '''Republic of Takatta Loa''', is a nation approximately 254,350 miles in area and located on the subcontinent [[Vallos]], which is located on [[Sarpedon]]. Takatta Loa is predominantly wet, tropical rainforest, with a seasonal monsoon. The environment makes for an exceptionally biodiverse region, with many of the indigenous plants and animals being found only elsewhere on Vallos and nowhere else in the world. It shares a border with its northern neighbors of [[Almadaria]] and [[Rumahoki]] | '''Takatta Loa''', officially known as the '''Republic of Takatta Loa''', is a nation approximately 254,350 miles in area and located on the subcontinent [[Vallos]], which is located on [[Sarpedon]].

Modern day Takatta Loa is a constitutional theocracy, with the Order of Natano being the official rulers of the republic, but holding mostly ceremonial powers and very limited legislative powers. The four legislative Houses, divided broadly into Open (elected officials) and Closed (hereditary or very limited electorate), hold the powers of government. In particular, the Open Houses are the primary legislative, administrative and security focused bodies while the Closed Houses form the national budget and oversee healthcare and education. All four of the legislative houses are involved in the legislative voting process, however. | Modern day Takatta Loa is a constitutional theocracy, with the Order of Natano being the official rulers of the republic, but holding mostly ceremonial powers and very limited legislative powers.

Takatta Loa boasts a diverse and still developing economic market. One of the largest industries in the nation is shipping, with Takatta Loa having some of the most robust shipping yards in the world. Further, agriculture still forms a significant portion of income, although it has been largely modernized. In particular, Takatta Loa is the largest producer of ginger and coconut in the world, bringing in around 1.5 and 26 billion taler respectively, and is a very significant producer of the cola used in [[Imperial Cola]], as well as having the oldest bottling plant located outside of [[Paulastra]]. The nation also produces 84% of the world's supply of [[Copium]], which is mostly exported to other countries with a marginal amount remaining in Takatta Loa. There is additionally a very large tourism industry in Takatta Loa, bringing in an estimated 50 billion taler a year. There is an especially large focus on [[Cartadania]], with Cartadanians recieving free tourist visas and the travel company [[LoaMajeste]] aggressively lobbying and advertising in Cartadania for travel to Takatta Loa. Especially, the island of [[Jennasura]] has been developed specifically to attract tourist, to the detriment of the indigenous [[Non-Loa Natives|non-Loa polynesians]]. Currently, there is much development going into the production and research of pharmaceuticals, with [[Rehangi Pharmaceuticals]] being founded and based in Takatta Loa. However, not all economic advancement has been distributed evenly, with the region of [[Akanatoa]] receiving significantly less attention than others. This has resulted in a large drug and arms trade occurring out of Akanatoa. The [[Hoa'akalra Cartel]] in particular has demonstrated separatist tendencies, resulting in the [[Akanatoa War]]. | Takatta Loa boasts a diverse and still developing economic market.

'Takatta Loa' came from a Loa corruption and misunderstanding of the Polynesian phrase ''Uana o Tagata'', or Land of Mankind. The Loa thought Tagata, or Takat, referred to the land and not people, and so called it ''Takat ta Loa'', or Land Conquered by the Loa. They notably use the ''a'' possession unlike the Polynesians, distinguishing it as a foreign land that they themselves ruled over, not an inalienable land belonging to no-one as ''Uana o Tagata'' implied. This reflected the Loa perception of both themselves and their land as being the result of war and conquest. ''Jomiria'ari'' is an Arabic word referring to a republic. It taken from Muslim sources by the Loa as they had no concept of a republic before contact with Occidental civilizations. | |||
