Takatta Loa, officially known as the Union of Takatta Loa, is a nation approximately 254,350 miles in area and located on the subcontinent Vallos, which is located on Sarpedon. The term Takatta Loa is considered overtly formal, and the word Makono Tapa, literally "Garden Temple" in Archaic Dusuamaba, is used by the general populace to refer to their homeland. It is divided into (WORKING ON THIS. SHOULDNT BE HARD). 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. Additionally, Takatta Loa is exceptionally abundant in cultures, with nearly 100 indigenous ethnic groups found within its borders.

Modern day Takatta Loa is a federated absolute monarchy, with two of its client nations being tribal confederacies and one being the domain of a warlord. Takatta Loa has approximately 106,535,955 citizens, with the largest nation, the Kingdom of Nisoma, containing 24.24 million people. With a GDP of $1,956,911,630,594, Takatta Loa is considered particularly poor due to its large population. The wealth disparity is quite large with the poorest of the Loa living on simple subsistence agriculture.

Government and Politics

Takatta Loa is a loose federation of nine client nations; the Four Island Kingdoms of Isahotainao, Kakui, Suitalitao and Masu'asama; the mainland Kingdoms of Nisoma and Kui'ikopa; the tribal confederacies of Totowa and Luitaoaka; and the Heavenly Domain of Kusama. These nations form a council, commonly called the Ninefold Covenant, which regulates all federal and foreign matters. Although Takatta Loa is meant to be almost a confederacy, in practice the Four Island Kingdoms hold such significant sway over the Union that most matters tend to be decided by Isahotainao, leader of the Ninefold Covenant. However, all the client nations are allowed to regulate matters inside of their nation as they see fit.

Governmental Structure

Takatta Loa's provincial and administrative network has been called 'monstrously complex' and 'byzantine' at times due to the highly decentralized and interflowing pathways of administration. This has often been cited as the greatest crux to the nations advancement, with critics pointing out how due to the immeasurably varied provinces of the nation leading to its general inefficiency.

The highest governmental body is the Ninefold Covenant, which regulates all foreign matters and administrative matters between client nations, called Damo Itisi (meaning 'Grand Kingdom', which is applied to all nations regardless of if they are actually a monarchy). The damo itisi typically cannot interact with foreign powers unless sanctioned by the Ninefold Covenant (see Akanatoa War), but otherwise the council cannot regulate much other than the national budget and infrastructure that exists between the damo itisi. The client nations receieve the budget and are free to distribute it between all their provinces, which are called itisi. They also regulate all infrastructure and travel between itisis as well as the food supply, with the government seizing and distributing food. The itisis further regulate the layout of towns and are required to maintain all infrastructure, even if they have no control over it, receiving a budget to do so. This is all overlayed with a bureaucratic legislation process based upon census, petition and a constant interdependence between itisi and damo itisi. This process is uniform across Takatta Loa, even if it is not mandated by the central council. However, the legal, medical and educational systems are regulated by the Kapuhenasa, which exists beyond the government. The Henasa also has significant influence on the bureaucratic process, lending further to the claims that Takatta Loa is a theocracy.

Legislative process

Policy and the like are dealt with at various levels depending on who exactly it impacts. At the most basic level, a person may submit a petition to a local bureaucratic office, which usually concerns local matters such as a request for house repairs or maintenance on a village road. This request is then formally edited and drafted by an official, who puts it, along with any other petition, and the village votes on it alongside the census. If the petition receives 60% approval, then it is enacted. On inter-village matters and tax collecting, then a similar process is employed and put through the entire itisi. A village can submit a petition, and then if 60% of villages approve, it is either enacted or submitted to the monarch if applicable. Said monarch almost always approves it, though they are not necessarily obligated to. This process again applies to the damo itisi, with the petitioner being an itisi. This usually involves infrastructure through out the client state or involves nationwide taxes. There are other avenues to getting legislation passed however. A sovereign can draft a proposal and put it through the network (the process the Ninefold Covenant uses), and hope it gets passed. Alternatively, one can receive a divine sanction for or against a petition through shrine complexes. These are finicky, for if a shrine approves, they will look towards divination or divine signs, which reduces the possibility of a sanction down to random chance. The shrines could also approve it based entirely on politics, such as certain shrines approving and others not, which reduces the possibility even further. Note that the petition cannot be changed once submitted, and as such there is constant drafting and collaboration on crafting a widely appealing petition.
