'''The Republic of Tivot''', more commonly referred to simply as [[Tivot]], is a small, prosperous nation that shares a single border with [[Caltharus]] on the continent [[Aurora]], with a small border with [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlia]] on the island of [[Isekaiou]]. 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 [[Baykalia]], [[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 22,581,000 as of 2015. The nation is located at the tip of the [[Great Auroran Peninsula]], and is a major port on [[The Morst Thoroughfare]] for shippings directed towards [[Gondwana]] and [[Novaris]]. Tivot also has three outlying islands, [[Alirus Isle]] to the northeast, [[Eternium Isle]] to the northwest, and [[Iluvikov 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 [[Triklov Port]], located on the southeastern corner of the [[Justelvard|Justelvardic]] island of [[Isekaiou]], 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 Triklov Port, hosting a population of 332,800. This concentration of the population 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.
 
 
==Etymology==
 
"Tivot"
"Tivot" is an staynified word that traces its origins to the words "tyvl" and "virlot" which originate from Salovian. "Tyvl" translates to "crater" in Codexian, a reference to the ancient meteor crater that the city Tarov proper resides within, while "virlot" translates to "city" in Codexian. "Tarov" is also believed to share the same origins.
