It is the northernmost nation on the continent, and was part of [[Salovia]] for centuries, gaining independence soon after the conclusion of [[Auroran Imperial War|The Auroran Imperial War]] following an independence referendum in 1975. It has maintained peaceful relations with the former Salovian territories of [[Baykalia]], [[Volova]], and [[Nilovia]], and has particularly close relations with [[Tuvaltastan]] and [[Nolova]]. The nation, with a Nominal GDP per capita of $37,361, has an estimated population of 23,482,684 as of 2020. The nation is located at the tip of the [[Great Auroran Peninsula]], and is a major port on [[Morstaybishlian Sea|The Morst Thoroughfare]] for shippings directed towards [[Gondwana]] and [[Novaris
==Etymology==
The origin of the name "Tivot" is not entirely known. However, it along with "Tarov" are believed to share the same etymology, as evidenced by ancient manuscripts (namely shipping records and the Emarl Manuscript) in which the words "Tavorit" and "Tireva" were used to describe the peninsula. The exact meanings of these words has since been lost, but experts speculate that the words are related to "ts’minda" and "khvreli" which directly translate to "holy" and "hole" respectively, however there is little evidence to prove this speculation.
The name "Per" stems from its native inhabitants, who are ethnically related to the elves of [[Peregrinia]], who in their native language Kilumi are called Pereh. Salovians first heard Pereh and mistakenly believed it to be the name of their settlement, rather than the name of their people.
