=== The Hundred States Period ===
==== The Dark Ages ====
[[File:King Henry V at the Battle of Agincourt.jpg|thumb|283x283px|[[Duke Abercromby of Nallewbridge|DTissandrae Abercromby of Nallewbridge]] fighting against [[Duke Hamilton|DTissandrae Hamilton]]'s forces, 1044 ac]]The earlier times of the hundred states period were not properly documented. There were fragments of information, suggesting continuous small warfare and skirmishes between smaller states as the three factions of the Republic disintegrated even more. Architectures of these times were also scarce, as the people of this time seemingly maintains to use the buildings from the Republican era. There were reports of hunger, disease, and even some major plague outbreak between 600 to 800 ac. After 800, there were more gaps of information, but a lot of foreign artifacts and battlefield remains, suggesting foreign raiders, or outright invaders from other place. Historian seemingly couldn't conclude on any matter regarding what really happened between 800 to 1000 ac.
 
After 1000 ac, information became plenty once more. The years between 1000 to 1300 ac were filled with local expansion and increase in population. Cities like [[Anuriel]], [[Eranorth]], and [[Creçore]] began to regain its status as centers of the realm, while bigger states start to annexs the smaller one. Few people were mentioned, but those who were mentioned had commited great deeds, or crimes. Such story, like the story of [[Duke Hamilton of Amber|DTissandrae Hamilton of Amber]] that manages to expand into a quarter of the realm, before splitting it up for his sons in his death bed. Other less glorious, such as the story of the [[Miracle Bandits]], led by [[Adam Darian]], who stupidly tries to steals Eranorth's coffer in the midnight of the Democracy Day (at that time called Clintinian Day) ended up jailed for good.

==== The Late 18th Century ====
[[File:Berlin, Alte Nationalgalerie, Adolph Menzel, Krönung von König Wilhelm I in Königsberg.JPG|thumb|Coronation of [[King Charles XXVI]] as the King of Tissandra, 1863]]
Neverthelles, the disparates states finally decrease in number, as duchies and republics increase in power and size. The [[Duchy of Eranorh]] started a ferocious conquest and diplomatic annexations throughout the 15th and 16th century. They aggressively marries off their members of Dynasty, the [[House of Chalois]], to form alliances, and to annex far away lands. The shrewd practice managed to bring half of the realm into the Duchy's command. By the year 1701, The nation was half unified under Eranorth. During this time, the [[Palace of Glass]] was built in the suburbs of Eranorth to showcase the might of the DukeDTissandrae. When the Palace is finished in 1714 ac, during the time of [[Duke Charles XXVI|DTissandrae Charles XXVI]], he coronated himself inside the palace as the first King of the descendants of Tissa; forming the [[Kingdom of Tissandra]]. The lords, mayors, consuls and locals already under Eranorth's sway subsequently approves his coronation. But the southwestern part of the realm denies the coronation, and declares Charles' claim unfounded. They gathers to form the [[Coalition|Coalition for Tissandra]], headed by the [[President of Anuriel]] (formerly Consul of Anuriel). The two factions maintain their cohesion throughout the rest of the 18th century, until the middle of the 19th century, with each claiming to be the rightful government for Tissandra. But only after Anuriel formally annexed all of the Coalition's members and forms the [[Republic of Tissandra]] in 1864, hostilities between the two nation escalated into all out war.

=== Laws ===
[[File:International Court of Justice.jpg|left|thumb|[[Supreme Court of Tissandra]], Eranorth.]]
Tissandra uses a [[civil legal]] system, wherein law arises primarily from written statutes; judges are not to make law, but merely to interpret it (though the amount of judicial interpretation in certain areas makes it equivalent to case law in a common law system). Basic principles of the rule of law were laid in the [[Human Rights Act of 1919]] (which was, in turn, largely based on the laws of the Republic of Tissandra). In agreement with the principles of the act, law should only prohibit actions detrimental to society. As [[Bourdierre Mryland]]<nowiki/>, one of the first seven Judges of the Supreme Court wrote about the management of prisons: ''Freedom is the rule, and its restriction is the exception; any restriction of Freedom must be provided for by Law and must follow the principles of necessity and proportionality.'' That is, Law should lay out prohibitions only if they are needed, and if the inconveniences caused by this restriction do not exceed the inconveniences that the prohibition is supposed to remedy.
The basic principles that Tissandra must respect are found in the [[Human Rights Act of 1919]], and the 1918 [[Treaty of Angelas]].

Tissandra maintains a force of around 150,000 active duty soldiers, and an additional 200,000 national reserve. Albeit small, Tissandra adopted conscription policy.

The [[First Industrial Revolution]] started in Tissandra with an initial concentration on the textile industry, followed by other heavy industries such as shipbuilding, coal mining and steelmaking. Tissandran merchants, shippers and bankers developed overwhelming advantage over those of other nations allowing Tissandra to participate in international trade in the 19th century. As other nations industrialised, Tissandra began to lose its competitive advantage and heavy industry declined, by degrees, throughout the 20th century. Manufacturing remains a significant part of the economy but accounted for only 19% of national output in 2003.
 
The automotive industry employs around 1,500,000 people, generating ₣34.6 billion of exports (11.8 % of Tissandra's total export goods). In 2015, Tissandra produced around 1.6 million passenger vehicles and 94,500 commercial vehicles.

The wings for the [[Airlift A380]] and the [[A350 XWB]] are designed and manufactured at [[Airlift Tissandra]]'s Almiere facility, whilst over a quarter of the value of the Airlift 787 comes from Tissandra manufacturers including [[Meaton]], [[Merry-Burgress-Delli]] and [[Le-Joyce]].

Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanised and efficient by Urthian standards, producing about 60 % of food needs with less than 1.6 % of the labour force (1,400,000 workers). Around two-thirds of production is devoted to arable corps, one-third to livestock. The majority of irigation were an upgraded form of the older irrigation system dating back to the Clintinian era. Farmers are subsidised by the [[Ministry of Industry and Agriculture of Tissandra|Ministry of Industry and Agriculture]]'s Policy. Tissandra retains a significant, though much reduced fishing industry. It is also rich in a number of natural resources including coal, petroleum, natural gas, tin, limestone, iron ore, salt, clay, chalk, gypsum, lead, silica and an abundance of arable land.
