It is unclear when the first 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. 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. | It is unclear when the first 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.

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. One of these tribes were known as the '''Qabór Tribe''' and were prominent in Eastern and Southern Tierrador. The Qabór Tribe, for close to a thousand years, expanded its borders to cover all of modern-day Tierrador and even parts of [[Ceylonia]] | Some of the settlements were also permanent.

These tribes were (and still are) referred to as the '''Abio''' and they were the historical rulers of modern-day Tierrador. | ||

Mass media in Tierrador reached the global spotlight in 1995, when Orixtal Communications, the largest telecommunications provider in South Crona, expanded its operations outside of the Cronan continent, opening operations in [[Kiravia]], [[Urcea]], [[Cartadania]] and [[Pelaxia]]. Soon after, [[H2O Communications]] began operations outside of Tierrador, leading to a very strong Tierradorian presence in the world of media. It is also one of the largest employers in Tierrador, with close to 2 million jobs created as of 2028. | Mass media in Tierrador reached the global spotlight in 1995, when Orixtal Communications, the largest telecommunications provider in South Crona, expanded its operations outside of the Cronan continent, opening operations in [[Kiravia]], [[Urcea]], [[Cartadania]] and [[Pelaxia]].

Healthcare in Tierrador follows a fully devolved system, and each region has its own system of private and publicly funded healthcare. Public healthcare is provided to all Tierradorian permanent residents and is mostly free at the point of need, being paid for from general taxation. The regulatory agency for healthcare in Tierrador is the Tierrador Health Service (THS), and the THS has various divisions based on the 20 regions. Since 1979 expenditure on healthcare has been increased significantly. The 2018 data, which incorporates in health a chunk of what in Tierrador is classified as social care, has the nation spending ₽3,460 per head. In 2017 the nation spent ₽2,870 per person on healthcare. Despite all Tierradorians being able to opt out of coverage from the THS in favor of the much more expensive private health sector, citizens are still required to pay 8% of their annual income to the THS. This is done as a means to dissuade Tierradorians from using privatized healthcare, as government officials and majority public opinion view it as "unethical," despite it being proven to be more efficient in getting the care that Tierradorians need. | Healthcare in Tierrador follows a fully devolved system, and each region has its own system of private and publicly funded healthcare.

It is a fairly-sized military, with an estimated manpower total of about 750,000 soldiers across all branches of the military. Because of its neutrality policy, the Tierradorian army does not take part in armed conflicts in other countries, but joins some peacekeeping missions. Since 2000 the armed force department has maintained the TIA intelligence gathering system to monitor satellite communications. | ||
Tierrador has earned a reputation of being one of the most difficult nations to stage a land invasion on, as gun politics in the nation allow for the civilian ownership of firearms if deemed fit for use. Because of this, close to 38 million Tierradorian non-military citizens own at least one firearm. | Tierrador has earned a reputation of being one of the most difficult nations to stage a land invasion on, as gun politics in the nation allow for the civilian ownership of firearms if deemed fit for use.
