Tawuse is the most populous state of the [[Tawusian Cape]], located in Southern [[Arcturia]]. '''<u>(WIP).</u>'''
'''The Republic of Tawuse''', commonly referred to as '''Tawuse''' is the Southernmost nation in [[Arcturia]], bordering [[Vivancantadia]] to the north.
Consisting mainly of fjords and glacial valleys, major population centres such as its capital '''Altomaré''' are located near the coast. Tawusian territory is comprised of the southern tip of [[Arcturia]] accompanied by the island of '''[[Paradis]]''' off the western coast. [[Tawusian elections]] can be seen elsewhere.
=Provinces and administrative territories of Tawuse=
'''Tawuse''' consists of fivefour provinces and one administrative territory. Listing in descending order in terms of population:

• '''Centro:''' Contains the largest city and capitol, Altomaré. Highest population with many port towns dotting the coast. Naval facilities exploit the calm conditions within the Paradis strait. Centro has a trade-based economy with urbanisation pushing what little agriculture the cold climate could support to the northern provinces.
• '''Gratulto:''' Formerly the '''Duchy of Gratulto''', the youngest province was incorporated into the union after a period of Tawusian expansion following the decolonisation of the area. The province maintains the largest agricultural economy within the union and is considered the breadbasket of Tawuse.
• '''Copesca:''' Mainly rural and mountainous, prosperous fishing communities dot the coast. Before environmental protection laws outlawed the practice, whaling and sealing brought wealth to the area.
• '''Viverra:''' Named after its large population of vivans, a group of people native to [[Vivancantadia]], the area was incorporated into the union after annexation of the region following the decolonisation of the area by [[Kormistazm]].
• The administrative territory of '''[[Paradis]]:''' Despite its location close to '''Centro''', '''[[Paradis]]''' was largely unsettled for hundreds of years. Vastly different to mainland Tawuse, it hosts a single city on the coast of the Strait of Paradis named Tenerre. A network of hamlets and small towns dot the mountains with a sizeable lupine population. Due to clashes between island natives and Tawusian settlers, settlement of the island was shelved. However, large coal and precious metal deposits are prompting the revival of previous settlement plans.
Provinces elect representatives to the National Congress and Risolveré. Although governmental sectors such as education and health are centralised, devolved powers include the ability to designate funding for infrastructure and internal management of subsidies.
The administrative territory of '''[[Paradis]]''' was not given the title of province mainly due to the lack of development within the island. Left mainly untouched, lupine villagers are governed under the authority of '''Centro''' due to the province being closest to the island. '''[[Paradis]]''' have the ability to elect representatives to represent Paradisian concerns within both the National Congress and Risolveré. One representative for the island in the Risolveré and a three representatives being leaders of the three lupine tribes to represent tribal matters in the congress.
