The '''Taństans''' are a Coscivian ethnic group, one of the largest single ethnic groups in the Kiravian Federacy.
The '''Provost-General of the League of Nations''' is the chief administrative officer of the [[League of Nations]] and also serves as president of the [[League of Nations General Assembly]]. As chief administrative officer, the Provost-General is responsible for oversight of the League's administrative authorities and commissions (collectively referred to as "League agencies") as well as nominating the heads of said commissions. The Provost-General is also responsible for nomination of the members of the [[International Justice Court]].
==Selection and term of office==
The Office of Provost-General was, for most of its history, an annually elected position held in the General Assembly of the League of Nations. Election for PG is a simple majority vote, with preemptive rounds of voting winnowing out smaller candidates if more than two countries are nominated to fill the role. In 2019, an amendment of the Code of the League of Nations extended terms to two years; in both cases, the term is Jan 1st to Dec 31st. An individual may be Provost-General for two terms, totaling four years.  


==History==
==Powers and duties==
[History]
The Provost-General oversees the affairs of the General Assembly, which includes presenting resolutions and bills, keeping order, tallying and reporting vote counts, and ensuring that the Code is followed appropriately. Outside of the General Assembly, the PG awards member nations with appointments to the various League agencies and commissions during their term. The PG appoints three members to serve on the Codes Committee (until 2026, the Codes Committee was composed of the runner-up for PG and two members appointed by the PG), as well as nominating three nations to occupy seats on the International Justice Court. Court nominations, unlike appointments, are ratified by the Assembly. The Provost-General also has veto power over Security Council selections made by the head of the SC, which rotates between [[Urcea]], [[Caphiria]], and [[Kiravia]].

[Classification]
===Environmental Conservation Commission===
[General characteristics, morphological typology]
The ECC is responsible for the maintenance of international nature reserves, the enforcement of minimum standards of environmental preservation, and the assistance of developing economies to minimize the time required for them to improve their industry past the most destructive phases of industrialization.
[Notable features]


Taństan Coscivian is one of the most widely-spoken Coscivian vernacular language, with a long literary tradition and a well-developed network of Taństan-medium educational institutions, newspapers, and radio stations. It is an official language of Fariva, Harma, and the Austral and Itapau Islands. However, there are far fewer monolingual speakers of Taństan Coscivian than of the other vernacular languages of commensurate size, with most Taństans being fluent in Kiravic. Most monolingual Taństan-speakers in Great Kirav hail from overseas colonies or Livensóla.
===Human Justice Commission===
The representative appointed to the HJC is responsible for bringing cases concerning human rights violations to the International Justice Court, where he or she acts as the prosecutor. Additionally, they have a responsibility to spread awareness of human rights issues and to work towards humanitarian solutions to conflict and the organization of international foreign aid.


==Religion==
===Protected Lands and Sea Lanes Authority===
Ruricanism is the traditional faith of the Taństan people, but since the XYZth century the ethnic group has become increasingly diverse in terms of religion. Among the modern Taństans there are Archepiscopals, Mercantile Protestants, members of numerous small Taństan-initiated heterodox Christian sects, Iduans, Komarists, Sarostivists, Unitarians, Universalists, and members of urban {{wp|new religious movements}}. Ethnic Taństans who adhere to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] are commonly referred to as ''Marþonans'', though this term more properly refers to a specific subgroup of Latin-Rite Catholics Taństans, most of whom live in close-knit communities in rural Harma and in [[Avenirskara]]. Some Taństans have adopted Reformed Orthodoxy (Theophilianism). Whatever their creed, however, most Taństans maintain some sort of connexion to Ruricanism, whether in substantive syncretism with their professed religion or more through participation in Rurican rites and traditions in a non-defining or merely cultural way.
The representative of the PLSLA is responsible for upholding international maritime law, protecting international trade law, conducting or coordinating antipiracy operations from member nation forces, and bringing charges of maritime crimes to the International Justice Court.


==Culture and Customs==
===Bill Drafting and Indexing Commission===
The BDIC has historically been an Urcean-held position, and is charged with the legalese of drafting and recording paperwork for the League, as well as consulting with lawyers of both international and local law around the world.


The Taństans have a stratified, hierarchical culture that places great importance on notions of social rank, propriety, and protocol.  
===Tourism and Travel Commission===
The TTC coordinates travel via air and sea internationally, acting as an organizing body for international airlines and shipping. It works closely with the PLSLA. In addition, the TTC is commonly used as a platform for encouraging cultural exchange programs, streamlining immigration and emigration, and posting travel advisories and highlighting 'destinations of the year'.


Most Taństan marriages are endogamous, but patterns of exogamy vary according to social rank and class. Rural Taństans are the most strictly endogamous segment of the ethnic group, followed by Republican-class Taństans in metropolitan and micropolitan areas who trace their ancestry to the old yeomanry and lesser nobility of Taństedan. Taństans involved in the maritime industry, seaborne commerce, and the navy have traditionally been more open to exogamy, while many aristocratic Taństan families have intermarried with families of comparably high status from other Coscivian groups. With regard to intra-ethnic marriages, rank, class, and ancestry play a major role in determining whether a pairing is acceptable. Marriages between Taństans from very different levels of the social hierarchy are strongly discouraged, and families often have strict standards as to which bloodlines are worthy of marrying their sons and daughters. Several services, including both for-profit companies and nonprofit societies, collect information on Taństan marriage prospects in a particular region, as well as their family histories, and publish this information in annual "marriage almanacs" to help young Taństans seeking spouses. {{wp|Cousin marriage}} is traditionally accepted among the Taństans, and in fact preferred among some subgroups.
===Atomic Energy Commission===
The AEC is charged with the assistance of legal nuclear energy production, the strict enforcement of nuclear energy safety standards, and the combatting of nuclear proliferation into rogue states worldwide.

===Wartime Benefit Fund===
Although not established under the [[Code of the League of Nations]], the [[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)|Treaty of Electorsbourg]] established the [[League of Nations Wartime Benefit Fund]] to benefit war orphans and widows from the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. The Provost-General's office oversees the administration of the fund and directs funding to member nations with nationally established programs.


The Taństans have a strong {{wp|tea culture}} that sets them apart from other Coscivian-Kiravians, who have generally come to prefer coffee since settling in Ixnay and have developed a coffee culture adapted from [[Culture_of_Caphiria#Food_.26_Drugs|the Hekuvian]]. Taństan tea culture includes several {{wp|tea ceremony|tea-centred rituals}}, a literary canon of {{wp|Tea classics|tea classics}}, and the inclusion of tea consumption into other aspects of life, such as business meetings and hospitality customs. Like other Coscivians, the Taństans regularly visit the graves of deceased relatives, and have the unique traditions of leaving cups of tea or burning tea leaves as a grave offering.

==Interethnic Relations==
|+
The Taństans are closely related to several other Coscivian ethnic groups, including the Liscans of Livensola, Ebondans, and Nūrþans, some of whom share Taństan Coscivian as their mother tongue; and more distantly to the Erasans, Lúnstans, Kagurans, and Ferúlans, with whom they share many cultural similarities.
!Provost-General
 
!Term
Due to the widespread geographic distribution of the Taństans, historical conflicts between Taństan and non-Taństan policies, and Taństans' socio-economic status as {{wp|middleman minority|middleman minorities}} or {{wp|Market-dominant minority|market-dominant minorities}} in many areas they inhabit, there is a long and continuing history of animosity between Taństans and various other Coscivian peoples. Emnity is particularly strong between the Taństans and the [[Ĥeldican Coscivians]] and [[Valosian Coscivians]].
!Nation of Origin
 
|-
In the multiethnic metropolitan areas of Fariva, such as [[Béyasar]] and [[Norvimur]], members of the many non-Taństan groups that have immigrated to these areas over the centuries have adopted many aspects of Taństan-derived Farivan regional culture, but nonetheless maintain identities distinct from the dominant urban Taństan minority. Interethnic tension in these cities is strongly related to perceptions of social class and institutional power differentials.

==Distribution==
|[[Burgundie]]
Taństans can be found throughout the Kiravian Federacy. Their traditional homeland is located in the Far Northeastern states of [[Fariva]], [[Harma]], Ostona, Serikorda, and {{wp|Rhode Island}}. Areas of newer settlement where Taństans are similarly dominant include Erinava and the Aromatic Isles. Large populations can be found in the [[Kiygrava]] (divided between the long-established Green Taństans and more recent migrants from Andela, termed Blue Taństans), much of Upper Kirav, [[Venèra]], northeastern [[Kastera]], [[Devahoma]], and Oceantropica.

The Provost-General of the League of Nations is the chief administrative officer of the League of Nations and also serves as president of the League of Nations General Assembly.

The Provost-General is also responsible for nomination of the members of the International Justice Court.

Selection and term of office

The Office of Provost-General was, for most of its history, an annually elected position held in the General Assembly of the League of Nations. Election for PG is a simple majority vote, with preemptive rounds of voting winnowing out smaller candidates if more than two countries are nominated to fill the role. In 2019, an amendment of the Code of the League of Nations extended terms to two years; in both cases, the term is Jan 1st to Dec 31st. An individual may be Provost-General for two terms, totaling four years.

Powers and duties

The Provost-General oversees the affairs of the General Assembly, which includes presenting resolutions and bills, keeping order, tallying and reporting vote counts, and ensuring that the Code is followed appropriately. Outside of the General Assembly, the PG awards member nations with appointments to the various League agencies and commissions during their term. The PG appoints three members to serve on the Codes Committee (until 2026, the Codes Committee was composed of the runner-up for PG and two members appointed by the PG), as well as nominating three nations to occupy seats on the International Justice Court. Court nominations, unlike appointments, are ratified by the Assembly. The Provost-General also has veto power over Security Council selections made by the head of the SC, which rotates between Urcea, Caphiria, and Kiravia.
