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 $5 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 {{wp|developed country}} with a very high {{wp|quality of life}}.

Tierrador is | 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. For close to two thousand years, the Qabór was the sole ruler of the South Cronan Peninsula, taking over modern-day Tierrador, [[Istrenya]], [[Ceylonia]], and parts of [[Pankara]]. The Qabór mostly remained in power until the late 1600s, when the eastern portion of the empire was reformed into the Tierradorian Empire. After many decades of war and uncertainty, Tierrador was finally reformed into a republic. However, this republic did not last long, as the First Beaver War, which lasted from 1823 to 1830, the nation was once again reformed into an empire, where it lasted until 1874, where it was reverted back to a republic. While the nation was classified as a republic, there were no presidential elections, instead, the president was appointed via line of succession, practically making Tierrador a dictatorship. Despite the characteristics of an authoritarian government, quality of life in Tierrador was among the best in all of Crona. This was due to the various opportunities for wealth presented by the [[Tierradorian Promise]], a term coined by former president Aunó Saunlec, 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 dictator Pedro Gomez wanted to turn Tierrador into the world's next superpower. Following the [[1993 Tierradorian Financial Crisis]], and the end of Tierradorian dictator rule, Tierrador only went up from there. Now, it is a prominent destination for economic and social prosperity. | ||
