===Kalatian & Morstay Era===

=== Kalatian & Morstay Era ===

The desert environment of the south led to the emergence of the "versatile tribesman", nomadic groups who subsisted due to a variety of economic activities, including animal husbandry, agriculture, and hunting. The seasonal movements of these groups led to not only frequent clashes between groups but also the establishment of seasonal and semi-seasonal settlements and centers. These formed tribal groupings whose names are still carried by modern Latians.

Line 98:

Primarily in reaction to the ambitions of other countries, the Morst and the Latian Council established closer bonds in a 1779 treaty, similar to treaties entered into by the Morstay with other Concordian nations. The Latians agreed not to dispose of any territory except to the Morst and not to enter into relationships with any foreign government other than the Morstay without their consent. In return, the Morstay promised to protect the Trucial Coast from all aggression by sea and to help in case of land attack. This treaty, the Exclusive Agreement, was signed by the Rulers of all Latian villages between 6 and 8 September 1779. It was subsequently ratified by the Morstay government, making the land a commonwealth of the Morstaybishlian Empire. Morstay maritime policing meant that pearling fleets could operate in relative security.

===Kuthern era and discovery of Gas===

=== Kuthern era and discovery of Gas ===

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the pearling industry thrived, providing both income and employment to the people of Latianburg. The ~~First World~~ War had a severe impact on the industry, but it was the economic depression of the late 1920s and early 1930s, coupled with the invention of the cultured pearl, that wiped out the trade. The remnants of the trade eventually faded away shortly after the Kuthern Civil war, when the Government of South Hills imposed heavy taxation on pearls imported from Luthernburg. The decline of pearling resulted in extreme economic hardship.

The Kutherns set up a development office that helped in some small developments in Latianburg. The five ~~sheikhs~~ of Latianburg then decided to form a council to coordinate matters between them and took over the development office. In 1962, they formed the Latian States Council, The council was terminated once the Commonwealth of Latianburg was formed. The tribal nature of society and the lack of definition of borders between emirates frequently led to disputes, settled either through mediation or, more rarely, force. The Latian Scouts was a small military force used by the Kutherns to keep the peace.

In 1964, Kuthernburg sided with Latianburg in the latter's dispute with ~~Oman~~ over the Chianski Oasis, another territory to the south. A 1959 agreement between Latianburg and Chianaski would have settled the border dispute, but this has not been ratified. Latianburgs border with Chianski was ratified in 2013.

The Concord valley has exposed an enormous amount of mineral wealth throughout the south and east of Latianburg, making it accessible to mining. Cobalt, copper, cadmium, industrial and gem-quality diamonds, gold, silver, zinc, manganese, tin, germanium, uranium, radium, bauxite, iron ore, and coal are all found in plentiful supply, especially in the Latianburgs southeastern region.

The rainforests of Latianburg contain great biodiversity, including many rare and endemic species, such as the common chimpanzee and the bonobo, the Concord forest elephant, the mountain gorilla, the okapi, and the white rhino. Five of the country's national parks are listed as Commonwealth Heritage Sites. Latianburg is the most biodiverse country in the Kuthern Commonwealth.

Line 137:

The oases grow date palms, acacia, and eucalyptus trees. In the desert, the flora is very sparse and consists of grasses and thorn bushes. The indigenous fauna had come close to extinction because of intensive hunting, which has led to a conservation program in the 1990s, resulting in the survival of, for example, Concordian Oryx, Concordian camel, and leopards. Coastal fish and mammals consist mainly of mackerel, perch, and tuna, as well as sharks and whales.

The Commonwealth Of The Emirates Of Latianburg is the Federal Republic with a Constitutional Monarch with Queen Naomi II being the Queen. It is governed by a Federal Supreme Council made up of the five emirs of Winterview, Litop, Raywan, Raywyn, And Icewheat.. All responsibilities not granted to the national government are reserved to the emirates. A percentage of revenues from each emirate is allocated to the Lstosnburgs central budget. Although elected by the Supreme Council, the presidency and prime ministership are essentially hereditary; the Duke of Raywyn holds the presidency, and the Duke of Icewheat is the prime minister. All prime ministers but one have served concurrently as vice president.

===Foreign Relations===

=== Foreign Relations ===

Latianburg has extensive diplomatic and commercial relations with other countries. Latianburg spends billions to influence the Kuthernburg policy and shape the domestic debate, and it pays former high-level government officials who worked with it to carry out its agenda within KOK. Following Kuthern withdrawal from latianburg in 1982 and the establishment of Latianburg as a commonwealth, Latianburg disputed rights to a number of islands in the Strait Of Chianski against Chianski. Latianburg went so far as to bring the matter to the Union Of Commonwealths, but the case was dismissed. The dispute has not significantly impacted relations because of the large Chianskian community presence and strong economic ties. In its dispute with Kuthernburg and Nacata, Latianburg has repeatedly threatened to stop shipping discounted oil to the nation. Commercially, the MBE and Kuthernburg are Latianburgs largest export markets and bilateral relations have long been close as a large number of their nationals reside in Latianburg.

===Political Divisions===

=== Political Divisions ===

Latianburg is divided into five emirates. Winterview is the most populated Emirate with 35.6% of the Latianburg population. The Emirate of Litop has a further 31.2%, meaning that over two-thirds of Latianburg population live in either Litop or Winterview.

Line 155:

Although initially small in number, the [[Latianburg Armed Forces]] have grown significantly over the years and are presently equipped with some of the most modern weapon systems, purchased from a variety of outside countries, mainly Kuthernburg, South Hills and the MBE. Most officers are graduates of the Kuthern Royal Military Academy, with others having attended the South Hills Military Academy, the Royal Nacatan Military College, Lazoop, and St Andrews. Nacata opened the Winterview Base in May 2011.

==Law==

== Law ==

Latianburg has a federal court system. There are three main branches within the court structure: civil, criminal, and Larian law. The Latianburg judicial system is derived from the civil law system and Larian law. The court system consists of civil courts and Larian courts. Latianburg criminal and civil courts apply elements of Larian law, codified into its criminal code and family law. Larian courts have exclusive jurisdiction over family law cases and also have jurisdiction over several criminal cases including adultery, premarital sex, robbery, alcohol consumption, and related crimes. The Larian-based personal status law regulates matters such as marriage, divorce, and child custody. The Larian personal status law is applied to Latians and sometimes non-Latians. Non-Latians expatriates can be liable to Larian rulings on marriage, divorce, and child custody.

Line 161:

Apostasy is a crime punishable by death in Latianburg, Blasphemy is illegal; expatriates involved in insulting Larian are liable for deportation. Latianburg incorporates hudud crimes of Larian (i.e., crimes against God) into its Penal Code – apostasy being one of them. Hudud crimes are to be punished with the death penalty; therefore, apostasy is punishable by death in the Latianburg. During the month of Ladans, it is illegal to publicly eat, drink, or smoke between sunrise and sunset. Exceptions are made for pregnant women and children. The law applies to both Latians and non-latians, and failure to comply may result in arrest.

==Economy==

== Economy ==

Latianburg command economy is gas-based; roughly 75% of budget revenues and 90% of export earnings come from the Natural Gas industry. Among the challenges to the Latian economy include halting or reversing the decline in per capita income, improving education to prepare youth for the workforce and providing them with employment, diversifying the economy, stimulating the private sector and housing construction, diminishing corruption and inequality. From 2006–2016 "several key services" were privatized—municipal water supply, electricity, telecommunications—and parts of education and health care, traffic control, and car accident reporting were also privatized. In addition to gas, Latianburg also has a small gold mining sector in the Litop region and other mineral industries, an agricultural sector (especially in the southwest) based on dates and livestock, and a large number of temporary jobs created.

===Agriculture===

=== Agriculture ===

Latianburg encouraged agriculture by providing substantial subsidies as well as consuming 300 billion cubic meters of mostly non-renewable water reserves free of charge to grow alfalfa, cereals, meat, and milk.

=== Water supply and sanitation===

=== Water supply and sanitation ===

Water supply and sanitation in Latianburg are characterized by significant investments in seawater desalination, water distribution, sewerage, and wastewater treatment leading to a substantial increase in access to drinking water and sanitation over the past decades. About 50% of drinking water comes from desalination, 20% from the mining of non-renewable groundwater, and 30% from surface water, especially in the mountainous southwest of the country. The capital Winterview, located in the heart of the country along the shores of the Concordian ocean, is supplied with desalinated water pumped from the Ocean over a distance of 30 km. Given the substantial gas wealth, water is provided almost for free.

==Education==

== Education ==

The education system through the secondary level is monitored by the Ministry of Education in all emirates except Winterview, where it falls under the authority of the Winterview Education Council. It consists of primary schools, middle schools, and high schools. The public schools are government-funded and the curriculum is created to match Latianburgs development goals. The medium of instruction in the public school is Latian with emphasis on Kuthern as a second language. There are also many private schools that are internationally accredited. Public schools in the country are free for citizens of the Latianburg, while the fees for private schools vary. The higher education system is monitored by the Ministry of Higher Education. The ministry also is responsible for admitting students to its undergraduate institutions. Thousands of nationals are pursuing formal learning at 53 adult education centers spread across the country.

==Health ==

== Health ==

The life expectancy at birth in Latianburg is at 86.46 years. Cardiovascular disease is the principal cause of death in Latianburg, constituting 18% of total deaths; other major causes are accidents and injuries, malignancies, and congenital anomalies. Under federal law, every Latian and expatriate in the country will be covered by compulsory health insurance under a unified mandatory scheme. The country has benefited from medical tourists from all over the World. Latianburg attracts medical tourists seeking plastic surgery and advanced procedures, cardiac and spinal surgery, and dental treatment.
