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.

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 26 commonwealths, 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 about 211 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 employs a federal system, consisting of [[Administrative divisions of Tierrador|25 commonwealths]], with most federal authority sections based in [[Taisgol]], along with a few government agencies based in the historical city of [[Qabór]]. | ||
The earliest recorded evidence of human presence in Tierrador began in the Paleolithic era, however not much is known about these early humans. Many indigenous peoples from Alshar migrated through various waterways to the north of Crona, in places such as Varshan, Alpachnia, and the Nysdra Sea. As the decades progressed, these indigenous peoples migrated down to the south of Crona. One of these tribes were known as the Qabór, who eventually would control one of the most powerful empires in history. For close to two thousand years, the Qabóri Woqalate was the sole ruler of the South Cronan Peninsula, spanning from modern-day [[Ceylonia]] to [[Ehemo]]. The Qabóri Woqalate mostly remained in power until the late 1800s, when the eastern portion of the empire was reformed into the Tierradorian Woqalate. After many decades of war and uncertainty, Tierrador was finally reformed into a republic. The republic, led by ambitious military general Tesío Takosenia, would undergo a long period of many warring states, known in history as the Takosenic Wars. After the Takosenic Wars ended, the House of Woqelee, who, except for a brief period during the 20th century, maintains control of the Woqalate today, would take power. During the reign of the [[Walakee State]] in the 20th century, there were no elections for the head of government, the Qaphenć. Instead, both the Woqali and the Qaphenć was appointed via line of succession, practically making Tierrador a police state and dictatorship. Despite the characteristics of an authoritarian government, quality of life in Tierrador was among the best in Crona. This was due to the various opportunities for wealth presented by the [[Tierradorian Promise]], a term coined by former Grand Woqali [[Satola Sanléc]] in 1943, to describe the many industries and job opportunities based in Tierrador. The 1950s to the 1990s were characterized by a large population boom, as authoritarian Grand Woqali [[Pedro Gomez]] desired to turn the Woqalate into the world's next superpower. Following the [[1993 Tierradorian financial crisis]], and the reinstatement of the House of Woqelee, Tierrador experienced an economic boom, due to the discovery of oil and many other natural resources. Now, it is a prominent destination for economic and social prosperity. | The earliest recorded evidence of human presence in Tierrador began in the Paleolithic era, however not much is known about these early humans.

Tierrador is divided into | Tierrador is divided into 26 fully devolved commonwealths, which are then separated into 105 qoyalets, 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, 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 Commonwealth Guard, 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. | ||

There are close to 120 political parties across the 26 commonwealths and 105 qoyalets 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 Second Beaver 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 Qaphenć'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 Qaphenć. | ||

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 85 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% (29.2 million) of the total population and are the third-largest group in Tierrador. Ænglish-origin Tierradorians (mostly from [[Alstin]], [[Arcerion]], and [[Urcea]]), 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]], [[Pursat]], [[Peshabiwar]], 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. | The Tierradorian Woqalate is an extremely diverse nation, with 21 ancestry groups having more than 1 million self-reported members.
