Tiervan is a island nation in the continent of Novaris that shares a border with Dvalheim in the south. It has a population of 17,1 million people after estimates from 2017, with the goverment with holding any estimates the last few years after the nation faced international condemnation for it's treatment towards it's dwarven population. It's capital city, Soturikaup, where 4,5 million people live. Tiervan's total land area is 68.600 sq km² (26.486,6 sq miles). Before 1980 Tiervan and it's neighbor Dvalheim was controled by colonial goverment controled from Norgsveldet. Despite calls for independence and native rights on the island, the colonial goverment still silenced criticsm towards its rule and advocated for increased immigration from Norgsveldet. Political organisations advocating for independence was also banned in 1969, which caused many moderate members to turn to more violent means for getting independence. Nationalist militias being formed in rural areas of Tiervan in 1971, under the leadership of the former military general Ali Kariabei who was a former member of the socialist organisation called the Tieresh Workers Union. Ali Kariabei was avaible to lead the nationalist militias to victory in the Tieresh Independence War, also becoming Tiervan's first elected president in a landslide victory in 9th December, 1980. Despite the victory in the war, it left the island divided between Loyalists in the north with Dvalheim and nationalists in the south with Tiervan.

Because of the economic stagnation lasting until the 1990s the Social People Party (SSP) that ruling Tiervan at the time, started secret diplomatic talks with Norgsveldet and Dvalheim. After it became known to the public, an propaganda campaign started by the far right National People's Union Party (NPUP) claiming the SPP was going to surrender Tiervan's sovereignty to Norgsveldet. Gaining a massive electoral victory in the election of 2005, the NPUP won the presidency with 40% of the vote.
