The Republic of Tivot, better known as Tivot, is a small, prosperous nation that shares a single border with Caltharus on the continent Aurora. It is the northernmost nation on the continent of Aurora, and was part of Kostuvastan for centuries, gaining independence immediately after The Auroran Imperial War following an independence referendum in 1975. It has maintained peaceful relations with the former Kostuv territories of Baykalia, Kostromastan, Imperial Fandom, and Tuvaltastan. The nation, with a Nominal GDP per capita of $32,383, has an estimated population of nearly 18,700,000. The nation is located at the tip of the Auroran Peninsula, and is a major port for shippings directed towards Gondwana and Atlantia. Tivot also has three outlying islands that have been designated as nature refuges. The capital Tarov and its metropolitan area hold the entire population, due to lack of practical usable space. This results in the titles Tivot and Tarov to be occasionally used interchangeably, as well as the common designation of Tivot as a pseudo-city-state.
