'''Tierrador''', officially the '''Tierradorian Republic''', is a country primarily located in Southeastern [[Crona]], along with a chain of islands in the Polynesian Sea. The country's mainland is bordered to the south by [[Ceylonia]]; to the south and west by the [[Orixtal Sea]]; to the north by [[Istrenya]] and the Songun Sea; and to the west by [[Alstin]] and [[Pankara]]. Tierrador's capital is Taisgol, the largest city along with its commercial and cultural center; other major [[wikipedia:Urban Area|urban areas]] include Porvaos, Hugo, Auqali, Arroyo Rato, Prisamarina, San Luis, La Plazal, Las Rozas, and Aracadó. Tierrador is a member of the [[League of Nations]] and the [[Cronan Commonwealth Development Organization|CCDO]]. It is considered a regional power within the Cronan continent, due to its strategic location and very powerful economy.


| logo                = IMPERIAL LEAGUE.png
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 almost $3 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. The country is divided into 20 regions, which equal to an area of 2,041,817 square kilometers and a population of just over 101 million. It is a unitary semi-presidential republic, with all of the federal governmental functions being held in the nation’s capital, Taisgol.

The Caphirian Imperial League (often referred to as the Imperial League for short or the Quicksilver League for sponsorship purposes) is the highest division of the Caphirian football league system The league is contested by 16 clubs.
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 Tierradorian Polynesia, the mountainous northwestern region, and the unique pre-colonial architecture across the hilly Songun Coast.


Introduced for the 2004–05 season as the Imperial League of Football the division was previously known as the Prima League. The first season of competition was the 1970–71 season. Venceia Lupi is the most successful team, holding 18 titles in its history and most recently winning the title in 2026–27.
==Etymology==
Renowned for its financial prosperity, the Imperial League stands as the wealthiest top-flight football division globally. It holds the distinction of being the second richest division in Sarpedon and ranks as the tenth best-attended division in world football. With a remarkable average match attendance of 20,181 during the 2027–28 season, it boasts the highest per-match attendance among secondary leagues.
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 settled 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. Eventually, following Tierrador's independence from [[Pelaxia]] in 1733 and the long path to where it is today, the country took advantage of its many gold deposits and quickly became an economic powerhouse.

Tierrador is divided into 20 fully devolved regions, which are then separated into 75 provinces, all equally represented in the Senado de la República. For the Montaje Nacional, the body is made up by representatives determined by the populations of the provinces. Each of these regions were created by the Constitution of 1867, from the historical nine provinces, as it was regarded as much easier to govern the large nation with more devolution. These regions function as their own nations, where they are allowed to govern over their respective provinces, 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 regions have their own Regional Guard, which in turn is a division of the Tierradorian Defense Forces, and in the event of an armed conflict on Tierradorian soil, the Federal Government can temporarily dissolve and allow the regions to take control against the enemy.
=== Politics===
Tierrador is a federal semi-presidential republic. There are close to 120 political parties across the 20 regions and 75 provinces 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 Republic". 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". The President of the Republic, who is the Head of State, is elected every 5 years by universal adult suffrage. Presidents can serve up to 2 terms for a 10 year service, as defined by the Limits Act of 1983. As for the Premier, who is the Head of Government, he or she is appointed by the President if their party gains control of both chambers of the Congreso de la República. Currently, the President of Tierrador is Javier Cervantes, who has been in office since 2018, and recently won reelection in 2023. The Premier of Tierrador is Francisco Pintón, who was appointed in 2020 after his party, the People’s Front, won majority in both chambers of the Congreso.

Up until the late 1950s, football in Caphiria was organized on a regional basis, with the only nationwide tournament being the Emperor’s Cup. In 1957, the first qualification process consolidated the regional tournaments of the Central, West, East and North provinces. Clubs competed in their regional leagues to qualify for the Emperor's Cup, which was the final stage of the competition. The winner of the Cup was not the league winner.

1966 saw the start of the first ever professional football league in the Imperium with eight teams, the following season the number of clubs increased to ten. The 1970–71 season saw the merger of both the Caphirian Prima League and the Caphirian First Division for that season exclusively to the concern of the 1974 WAFF World Cup host bid. Twenty teams were divided into two groups, A and B. The top two in each group would enter a semi-final stage to determine the overall champions. In the following season which reverted back to regular round robin competition, the number of first-division clubs was later increased to 12 in the season.

In December 1990, the Caphirian federation decided to merge the league with the Emperor cup in one tournament, it was decided to revamp local competitions and to introduce professional football. A new league championship was formed called "The Custodian of Emperor’s League Cup", which was a two-stage championship. The first stage was a regular double round-robin league competition with the top 4 qualifying to the final knockout stage, called the golden box. Clubs were allowed to sign players on a professional basis making the league semi-professional. This system lasted for seventeen seasons before reverting to a regular round robin competition.

As of 2008, depending on the nation's coefficient, four teams from Caphiria qualify for the Sarpedonian Champions League annually. This includes the top three positions of the league, together with the winner of the Emperor’s Cup. If the winner of the Cup is also among the top three teams then the fourth-best team qualifies to the play-offs, and if the winner of the Cup is not in the top three league positions in the league, the top two will qualify directly to the group stages while the third team will qualify for the SCL play-offs.

There are 16 clubs in the Imperial League. During the course of a season (usually from August to May) each club plays the other clubs twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents, for 30 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by position on the league table depending on points, then the head-to-head record between the tied teams is taken into consideration, and then goal difference.

The nationally enforced curriculum, the '''Plan de Estudios de Tierradoria (PET)''', is taught to students from grades 1 to 10. Students are then required take the '''Examen de Habilidades Escolares (EHE)''' in the summer between grades 10 and 11, where they are scored on a range from 500 to 2000. Upon taking the EHE and the completion of the PET 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.

===Sports===
==Rivalries==
''Does your country have any major sports leagues? What types of sports are played, both professionally and for fun by your country's people?"''
'''Catenas vs Militaris'''
===Symbols===
The history of football rivalries in Caphiria is often shaped by a combination of location and socio-economic factors. In the case of Catenas Previcatores and Militaris FC, their rivalry has deep roots intertwined with historical contexts.
''Are there any prominent symbols which are well known to represent your country?''
Catenas Previcatores, located in the urban neighborhoods that were once home to former slaves, represents a community with a rich heritage. The club emerged in the early days of football in Caphiria when former slaves, seeking to reclaim their freedom and dignity, found solace and empowerment through the sport. The team became a symbol of resilience, representing the aspirations and struggles of the marginalized.
== Economy and Infrastructure==
On the other hand, Militaris FC emerged from the ranks of imperial military officers. With the financial backing and influence of the military elite, the club was able to establish a strong presence in the football scene. Militaris FC represented the privileged class, embodying discipline, authority, and power.
''How does your country's economy work?''
The socio-economic disparities between these two clubs laid the foundation for a fierce rivalry. It became more than just a competition on the football field; it symbolized a clash of social classes and historical narratives. Matches between Catenas Previcatores and Militaris FC became intense battles, reflecting the broader struggles within Caphirian society.
===Industries and Sectors===
The rivalry between the two teams was often fueled by passionate fans, who passionately supported their respective sides. The matches became an arena where the aspirations and pride of different social groups clashed, leading to intense emotions and rivalries. Over the years, the rivalry between Catenas Previcatores and Militaris FC has evolved but has not lost its essence. It serves as a reminder of the socio-economic divisions that persist in Caphiria and the power of football as a platform for social expression and unity.
''What are the largest parts of your economy in terms of what they do?''
Today, despite progress towards inclusivity and equality, the rivalry between these two teams continues to resonate with fans, serving as a symbol of the complex history and social dynamics that have shaped Caphirian football.
===Currency===
 
''What exchange systems are used within your country's economy?''
'''Venatores vs. Venceia Lupi'''
===Healthcare===
The rivalry between Venatores and Venceia Lupi is a classic clash of two powerhouse clubs based in the same city, Venceia. Both teams have a rich history and a strong fan base, leading to fierce competition on the field. The rivalry is fueled by the contrasting styles of play, with Venatores known for their attacking prowess and flair, while Venceia Lupi excels in solid defense and tactical precision. Matches between these two teams are highly anticipated, drawing large crowds and creating an electric atmosphere in the city.
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 TDT3,460 per head. In 2017 the nation spent TDT2,870 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.
 
'''Venceia Lupi vs. Venceia Ludis'''
The Venceia Derby, also known as the Lupi-Ludis Derby, is a heated rivalry between Venceia Lupi and Venceia Ludis, two teams representing different neighborhoods in the city. This derby extends beyond football, reflecting the cultural and social differences between the two communities. Venceia Lupi, based in the affluent district, is associated with tradition, wealth, and a sense of superiority. In contrast, Venceia Ludis, from the working-class neighborhood, represents resilience, passion, and a strong community spirit. Matches between these teams are intense, marked by intense local pride and a desire to claim supremacy within the city.
 
'''Faber Ferrarious vs. Ferriviaria Consociatio'''
The rivalry between Faber Ferrarious and Ferriviaria Consociatio goes beyond football and stems from the historical divide between steelworkers and rail workers. Faber Ferrarious, backed by the steel industry, symbolizes strength, determination, and industrial might. On the other hand, Ferriviaria Consociatio represents the hardworking rail workers, embodying solidarity, perseverance, and community values. The rivalry between these two teams reflects the socio-economic tensions between these industries and the pride each group takes in their respective trades. Matches between them carry a symbolic weight, representing the ongoing struggle for recognition and respect in the working-class communities they represent.
 
'''Venatores vs Ampeloniki Bellatores'''
The rivalry between Venatores and Ampeloniki Bellatores is a unique clash that is rooted in the historical origins of both clubs. Venatores, tracing its roots back to ancient times, was initially formed as an exclusive hunting club for the upper elite. The members of Venatores reveled in their privileged status and enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, symbolizing power, wealth, and dominance.
 
In contrast, Ampeloniki Bellatores has a more unconventional origin. The club emerged from the remnants of former gladiatorial slaves who were once hunted for the entertainment of others. These gladiators, having being professionalized , formed a community that sought redemption, freedom, and a new purpose. Ampeloniki Bellatores represents the indomitable spirit of those who defied the odds and emerged victorious from the shadows of their dark past.
 
The clash between Venatores and Ampeloniki Bellatores carries a deeper significance than mere football rivalry. It symbolizes the clash between the privileged and the oppressed, the historical power dynamics that shaped societies throughout time. Matches between these two teams become a battleground where these contrasting narratives collide.


Fans from each club passionately rally behind their respective sides, celebrating their distinct histories and identities. Venatores supporters embody the legacy of the elite, exuding confidence and entitlement. On the other hand, Ampeloniki Bellatores fans embrace the underdog spirit, embracing resilience, solidarity, and the pursuit of justice. The rivalry between Venatores and Ampeloniki Bellatores serves as a reminder of the transformative power of sport and the ability to rewrite history. It encapsulates the ongoing struggle for equality and the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. Matches between these teams become not only a spectacle of skill and competition but also a testament to the resilience and determination of those who have fought to overcome their past.

''How is labor organized within your country? Are there any social institutions or unions which deal with labor concerns?''
=== Transportation===
''How do people in your country get around? Is there a major highway system as well as sea- and airports?''
===Energy===

===Technology===
''How advanced is your country? Is it an innovator, or does it largely import new developments?''

Tierrador, officially the Tierradorian Republic, is a country primarily located in Southeastern Crona, along with a chain of islands in the Polynesian Sea. The country's mainland is bordered to the south by Ceylonia; to the south and west by the Orixtal Sea; to the north by Istrenya and the Songun Sea; and to the west by Alstin and Pankara. Tierrador's capital is Taisgol, the largest city along with its commercial and cultural center; other major urban areas include Porvaos, Hugo, Auqali, Arroyo Rato, Prisamarina, San Luis, La Plazal, Las Rozas, and Aracadó. Tierrador is a member of the League of Nations and the CCDO. It is considered a regional power within the Cronan continent, due to its strategic location and very powerful economy.

Tierrador is a developed country with a very high 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 almost $3 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. The country is divided into 20 regions, which equal to an area of 2,041,817 square kilometers and a population of just over 101 million. It is a unitary semi-presidential republic, 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 Tierradorian Polynesia, the mountainous northwestern region, and the unique pre-colonial architecture across the hilly Songun Coast.

Etymology

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 settled 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. Eventually, following Tierrador's independence from Pelaxia in 1733 and the long path to where it is today, the country took advantage of its many gold deposits and quickly became an economic powerhouse.

Federal subdivisions

Tierrador is divided into 20 fully devolved regions, which are then separated into 75 provinces, all equally represented in the Senado de la República. For the Montaje Nacional, the body is made up by representatives determined by the populations of the provinces. Each of these regions were created by the Constitution of 1867, from the historical nine provinces, as it was regarded as much easier to govern the large nation with more devolution. These regions function as their own nations, where they are allowed to govern over their respective provinces, 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 regions have their own Regional Guard, which in turn is a division of the Tierradorian Defense Forces, and in the event of an armed conflict on Tierradorian soil, the Federal Government can temporarily dissolve and allow the regions to take control against the enemy.

Politics

Tierrador is a federal semi-presidential republic. There are close to 120 political parties across the 20 regions and 75 provinces 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 Republic". 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". The President of the Republic, who is the Head of State, is elected every 5 years by universal adult suffrage. Presidents can serve up to 2 terms for a 10 year service, as defined by the Limits Act of 1983. As for the Premier, who is the Head of Government, he or she is appointed by the President if their party gains control of both chambers of the Congreso de la República. Currently, the President of Tierrador is Javier Cervantes, who has been in office since 2018, and recently won reelection in 2023. The Premier of Tierrador is Francisco Pintón, who was appointed in 2020 after his party, the People’s Front, won majority in both chambers of the Congreso.

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 Plan de Estudios de Tierradoria (PET), is taught to students from grades 1 to 10. Students are then required take the Examen de Habilidades Escolares (EHE) in the summer between grades 10 and 11, where they are scored on a range from 500 to 2000. Upon taking the EHE and the completion of the PET 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.

Healthcare

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 TDT3,460 per head. In 2017 the nation spent TDT2,870 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.
