Tivot: Difference between revisions

==Etymology==

The word "Tuva" in Tuvaltastan is of direct origin to the word "tov," which originates from the dead language of the ancient Kostuvians. "Tov" translates to "explore" in Codexian, and "ÇfkXh" (Pronounced Hfk*hack*) in Altuvi.

==History==

===Separation of Kostuvastan===

(See [[Kostuvastan Civil War]])

===Beginnings of Tuvaltastan===

After the horrors of the Kostuvastan Civil War, Tuvaltastan was the first nation to form out of the ashes. It was officially independent on the day March 17th, 2005. During the first year of its existance, it took a year to determine the constitution of Tuvaltastan. The first administration went into office in the year 2006, and came out of office in 2008. Even with the first administration, there were issues in making a completely new nation from the ground up. Entire institutions had to be established, the destroyed infrastructure had to be replaced, and the food sources that were nearly depleted had to be restored. The aforementioned issues were the focus of the first administration, and were relatively successful. The next two successive administrations added to the accomplishments of the first administration (see [[List of Administrations of Tuvaltastan]] for more info).

===Modern-Day Tuvaltastan===

The current administration is currently attempting to establish peaceful relations with both Kostromastan and Baykalia. The administration's ultimate goal, however, is to connect itself to other nations outside of former Kostuvastan, especially within Aurora.

===The Kost-Tuva War (2009-2010)===

This war was primarily between Tuvaltastan and Kostromastan, and lasted 11 months before ending on a peace treaty that ended the war. It was catalyzed by many skirmishes between Kostro and Tuvalt civilians, and eventually politicians in Tuvaltastan called for a war. The Hall approved of the war, and the war killed approximately 12,000 Tuvalts and 11,000 Kostros, as well as 1,000 Baykals, as Baykalia had been in the war, but left after a month.

===The Tuva-Avut War (2011-Present)===

Following the Colonialist mindset of their Kostuv predecessors, the Tuvalt Government is currently attempting to take over a large island in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. The natives of the island use guerrilla war tactics against the Tuvalt military, who have never stepped foot on the Avut Island. The native Avut have been successful at keeping the Tuvalt Government in the northern half of the island.

==Politics==

===Governmental System===

(''Main article: [[Government of Tuvaltastan]]'')

The Governmental System of Tuvaltastan consists of three branches that follow a checks-and-balances system. Every year, an election takes place for every Legislative position and Judicial position and every two years for each Executive position.

If Tuvaltastan does declare war, the Commander-In-Chief (CIC) has the power to declare total war, after a vote among the three primary executive positions. During peacetime, the CIC focuses on building relationships with other nations. Currently, the CIC is discussing with Kostromi and Baykalian officials a cease-fire on the border skirmishes, which are close to becoming a full-on war. The CIC is also in talks with multiple countries on establishing embassies.

===Electoral Process===

The electoral process for each position requires each candidate to take part in a simulation that focuses on the issues and everyday duties of the position each candidate is running for. As well as the simulation, a popular vote will take place. Each candidate's performance on the simulation will be scored. The candidates' score and their votes will be combined into an average, and whichever candidate has the highest average wins the election.

===Domestic Policy===

====Poverty====

The poverty rate is 3.1%, as of 2015. It was lowered from 12% due to multiple programs set up by the Tuvalt Government to address the issue.

====Civil Rights====

Everyone in Tuvaltastan has equal rights, which has been defined in the Tuvalt Constitution. However, even though Baykals and Kostroms have the same rights as Tuvalts, many Tuvalts nonetheless discriminate against them.

Tuvaltastan is part of the [[Auroran Continental Assembly]], which has established a continent-wide free trade agreement.

====Neutrality====

Tuvaltastan claims to be a neutral nation towards all but Kostromastan and Baykalia. This is likely to change, due to politicians vying for a more friendly attitude towards the other territories of former Kostuvastan.

====Immigration====

Tuvaltastan has a nondiscriminatory immigration policy, even towards Kostromi and Baykalian refugees. This is subject to change, however, as many Tuvaltis still hold a grudge against Kostroms and Baykals.

====Food====

Traditional cuisine of Tuvaltastan is few and far between, due to its short life as a nation so far. However, one meal exists that has prominent meaning: Cheese Rice. Its prominent meaning stems from the terrible conditions that ensued during the Kostuvastan Civil War, and most food being destroyed in the Agricultural Bombing Campaigns of 1999. The only sources of food that had survived the bombings were hard cheeses and dried rice grains. For the remainder of the Civil War, the Tuvalts survived by eating cheese rice, and now, on every Independence day, they celebrate with a bowl of cheese rice. Another traditional food is Norgov bread, which originates from the Ancient Kostuvians that resided in the same region of Tuvaltastan. Norgov bread consists of corn meal, honey, eggs, and flour, and it is usually eaten on New Year's Day.
