'''The Republic of Tivot''', more commonly referred to simply as [[Tivot]], is a small, prosperous nation that shares a single border with [[CaltharusKaltariezh]] on the continent [[Aurora]], withand a small border with [[Great Morstaybishlia|MorstaybishliaJusdelva]] on the island of [[Isekaiou]]Isekora. 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 [[BaykaliaBiramura]], [[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 2223,581482,000684 as of 20182020. 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]], and is a founding member of the [[Urth Trading League]]. Tivot also has three outlying islands, [[Alirus Isle]] to the northeast, [[Eternium Isle]] to the northwest, and [[IluvikovZycal Island]] to the west, all of which have been designated as nature preserves since [[Nature Preservation Acts of 1834|1834]]. Collectively, the three islands are referred to as the [[Tivot Outlying Preserves]] (TOPs). Along with the TOPs, Tivot also owns the port city of [[TriklovOkros PortSanap’iro]], located on the southeastern corner of the [[JustelvardJusdelva|JustelvardicJusdelvic]] island of [[Isekaiou]]Isekora, given to Salovia to be part of the Tivotian province by [[United Kingdom|Great Morstaybishlia]] as reparations for occupying Tivot during the Great War. The capital [[Tarov]] and its metropolitan area hold almost the entire population of the mainland at over 22 million people, due to lack of practical usable space elsewhere, and also [[Verk'ohism#Zycalerian Myths|local beliefs]] pertaining to the [[Zycannes Mountains]] found in the center of the nation. The only other separate populations are the settlement of [[Per]], home to a population of approximately 237,200 individuals, mostly consisting of [[Species#Peregrin|Peregrin]] and [[Species#Nekomimi|Nekomimi]], and the previously-mentioned TriklovOkros PortSanap’iro, hosting a population of 332,800. This concentration of the population within Tarov results in the titles "Tivot" and "Tarov" to be occasionally used interchangeably, as well as the rare reference to Tivot as a city-state, although semantically that terminology is inaccurate to describe the nation as a whole.

===KingdomPrehistory===

First acquired by Salovia in 876976 AD after the Great Battle of AlirusMorta, Tivot had alwaysstarted been locatedoff on the political peripheral of Salovian politics, and since 1132 AD had been an autonomous province of the nation. This self-sufficiency and unique freedom over its own affairs allowed the nationregion to chart its own course, separate from the other regions of Salovia.

Unlike its war-torn counterparts, Tivot has been in a state of relative peace since [[Thethe Auroran Imperial War]]. Due to this, it has managed to advanceadvanced in technology at a faster pace than the rest of former [[Salovia]]. Such advances include the development of cultured meats which has resulted in a rapid decrease in meat imports from other countries, engineering techniques to allow for taller, thinner skyscrapers, and mail delivery via drones. A rapid-speed tunnel network has also been proposed to connect Tarov to other nations' major cities, while the Boscow Overlook serves as the primary highway connecting north and south Tarov, with the Per Reserve Highway connecting the capital to Per.

Tivot has inserted itself into the global economy, emerging as a major shipping and trade hub. The nation makes the majority of its wealth from tourism, trade, its numerous financial businesses, and its numerous coastal ports within Tarov and Port Triklov, which have a comparatively low tax rate. It also holds one of the world's largest stock markets. The nation has also solidified a place of importance in the United Nations of the Auroran Continent as the host to one of the headquarters of the [[Auroran ContinentalCentral Bank]].

The Politics of Tivot take place in the framework of a Republic, wherein the Chief Executive Statesperson, or Chief Executive for short,President is the Head of Government and Head of State. Tivotian representation is broken up into twelve subdivisions, two of which being Per and TriklovOkros PortSanap’iro (Okro for short), with the rest being Tarov itself. There are fourthree branches of government,; the Executive, Legislative, Judicial, and CommercialJudicial, with a checks and balances system implemented to separate power amongst the four branches equally.

The legislature is bicameralunicameral in organization, with the upperlegislative housebody being called the PerevillaNational andSenate. theThe lowerseats housein Villa Internum.the BothNational housesSenate are elected directly by the general populous every two years, and are distributed according to population. As of 2015, the National Senate is made up of 285 seats, with the seats apportioned to each province in accordance to their population.

Tivot is parta member of the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]],. whichThey hasare establishedalso aan continent-wideeconomic trademember agreementto andthe non-aggression[[East pact.Pacific ThroughTreaty efforts of the Loctov administration,Organization|EPTO]]. Tivot has also established free trade agreements with numerousa wide number of nations and international organizations outside of Aurora, including the [[The Vekaiyun Union|Vekaiyun Union]], the [[South Hills|SHACOG]], andthe [[PackilvaniaAssociation of Yasterian Nations|theAYN]], Paxand Caliphate[[Packilvania]]. TivotThe nation is also a major economic power on the world stage, having numerous trade agreements with nations across the world, and is the seat of the [[Auroran Central Bank]].

The country has publicly expressed its eagerness to become a major center of trade, culture, and finances, and as such has stayed strictly neutral in regards to international politics. It has, however, shown itself to be very politically close to nations like the [[UnitedGreat KingdomMorstaybishlia]], [[Tuvaltastan]], and [[Emberwood Coast]].

There is no military in Tivot, meaning the nation relies on its neighbors for protection against foreign powers. However, the city of Tarov maintains a law enforcement department to curb crime.

The nation of Tivot is mostly made up of the northernmost reaches of the Zycannes Mountains, with the most notable geographic feature being a large crater encompassing much of the western side of the Zycannes. The crater, likely the result of a meteor impact that took place around 260 million years ago, holds what is today the originalhistorical area of the city of Tarov. The Tyrne River, the largest river in Tivot, begins in the peaks of the Zycannes and flows through Tarov before ultimately ending at the MorstaybishlianDovian Sea. The non-mountainous land in Tivot is arable, yet limited. This problem was resolved by importing most of the nation's food, until a recent development in vertical farming and cultured meat production allowed for the industries to become commercially viable, enabling Tivot to reduce its reliance on foodstuff imports.

Alirus Isle is a large conic volcanic island that is believed to have formed approximately 30-40 million years ago. MostThe flora of the vegetation on the island isconsists primarily smallerof small shrubs and lichens, and other similarly hardysimilar flora suited to the climate of the island. FaunaThe ondominant fauna of the island are mostlyprimarily small rodents thatlike livethe alonginvasive theyellow-necked coast,field mouse and migratory seabirds that visit the island on a seasonal basis.

IluvikovZycal Island, the largest of the three, is an island made up of two caldera volcanoes connected by an isthmus made up of what is believed to be landproduced from an ancient eruption some time between 20 and 25 million years ago. The vegetation on the island is relatively diverse in comparison to the other TOP's, with a number of different tree species, smaller ferns and grasses, various weeds, and lichens and fungi. The island is home to the endangered [[Auroran Gold-coated Grimalkin]] and the Zycalerian cloud rat.

Eternium Isle, alsoan island formed from a volcanicnow-extinct islandvolcano, is the only island of the three that has any humansentient population. This is due to the fact that, prior to the original [[Nature Preservation Acts of 1834|1834 Acts]] that had formed the Tivot Outlying Preserves, a small community of native inhabitants known as the [[Aderin Tribe]] protested against a section of the original act that would have had them be expelled off the island in favor of preservation of nature. The inhabitants however argued that because the Aderin had been on the island sincelonger atthan leastrecorded 1,400 B.C.history, that they had become a natural part of the ecosystem. The Grand Court at the time ruled that they had indeed become an integral part of the environment, and the Aderin have lived on the island ever since, with their population staying between 500150 and 700250 individuals since 1460, when reliable Salovian population records began.

As one of the world's leading international financial centers, Tarov has a major capitalist service economy with low taxation, and has established free trade agreements with numerous nations throughout Urth, attracting major companies such as [[Metatron Corporation]] to set up holding companies there. It is an important center for international finance and trade, with one of the greatest concentrations of corporate headquarters in the Caven/Morstaybishlian Sea, along with [[Sani Bursil]] and Aeternum[[Rouanezkador]], among others. The Tivot Stock Exchange is one of the largest in the world, making up a large share of all stocks traded (it lists some of the largest companies in the world on its indices such as [[Café Pay]]).

The Currency of Tivot is the [[Kirib]], the currency of much of the Auroran continent. Formerly using the [[Salovia|Salovian net'a]], Tivot opted for the more stable kirib in an effort to separate itself from the political turmoil of the [[Salovian Civil War]]. The [[Auroran ContinentalCentral Bank]], isthe situatedcentral inauthority Tarov,regarding banking withwithin the Auroran[[United BankingNations Agencyof beingthe locatedAuroran inContinent]], Saniis Bursilsituated in Tarov.

Through relatively speedy advancements in agricultural technology, Tivotian scientists began work on developing synthesized meats early in 2006. Realizing the potential behind this, the Tivotian government injected funds into the effort, soon resulting in the first commercially-viable synthetic meat in late 2015. The industry quickly boomed afterwards, with nearly two-thirds of all meats consumed in 2018 being synthesized after incentives were placed to utilize the lab-grown meat rather than imports.
