'''The Democratic States of Tuvaltastan''', commonly known as [[Tuvaltastan]] (tuːvɔːltʌstæn), is a nation that exists on the continent Aurora that has a border with [[Xiopothos]], [[Volova]], [[Great Morstaybishlia]], [[Nolova]], [[Thalria]], [[Faethalria]], [[Nilovia]], and exists directly north of the island nation of [[Nation/Dragonia|Dragonia]]. The nation, with a Nominal GDP per capita of $27,643, has an estimated population of 23,588,694 as of 2017. Tuvaltastan encompasses the three southernmost Auroran Lakes, those being [[Slova Lake]], [[Ordlov Lake]], and the northern half of [[Lake Nilovi]], in order from west to east. The nation follows the southern coast of the continent, with Nilovia splitting the coasts into two sections: The East Coast and The South Coast. Tuvaltastan also has dominion over a number of islands, those being divided amongst the subdivisions of [[The East Crescent Isles]], [[Avutili]], [[The Far East Isles]], [[Absurdvani]], and [[Kemerovo Island|Kemerovo]]. The largest city [[Shagonar]] holds an estimated 4,627,134 individuals and the capital [[Novosibirsk]] holds another 3,122,776. Shagonar and the fifth largest city Omsk are both part of the Shagonar-Chilekov-Omsk Metropolitan Statistical Area, and hold a population of nearly 11 Million people. A mix between the size of the nation and the compactness of the country's population also allows for abundant farmland.
'''The Grand Republic of Tuvaltastan''', commonly known as [[Tuvaltastan]], is a nation that exists on the continent Aurora that has a border with [[Tarelia]], [[Volova]], [[Great Morstaybishlia]], [[Nolova]], [[Thalria]], [[Faethalria]], [[Nilovia]], and exists directly north of the island nation of [[Nation/Dragonia|Dragonia]]. The nation, with a Nominal GDP per capita of $27,643, has an estimated population of 27,802,894 as of 2020. Tuvaltastan encompasses the three southernmost major Auroran Lakes, those being [[Slovi Lake]], [[Orts'ilovi Lake]], and the northern half of [[Lake Nilovi]], in order from west to east. The nation follows the southern coast of the continent, with Nilovia splitting the coasts into two sections: The East Coast and The South Coast. Tuvaltastan also has dominion over a number of islands, those being divided amongst the subdivisions of [[The East Crescent Isles]], [[Avutili]], [[The Far East Isles]], [[Absurdvani]], and [[Kemeshovi]]. The largest city [[Shagonar]] holds an estimated 4,627,134 individuals and the capital [[Akhalibisi]] holds another 3,122,776. Shagonar and the fifth largest city Kar'topi are both part of the [[Shagonar-Chilekani-Kar'topi Area]] (often referred to as Shachika), and hold a population of nearly 11 million people. The center of the nation, namely the Akhlos P’reria and Shoreuli P’reria provinces, make up the majority of croplands within the country, making up __% of the nation's total consumption.


Tuvaltastan is one of a number of nations once part of the former nation of [[Salovia]], and that distinction has greatly affected its role on the world stage since the nation's founding in 2005. After the [[Salovian Civil War]] ended, the [[2005 Treaty of Astrakhan|Treaty of Astrakhan]] officially established Tuvaltastan, [[Baykalia]], and the former nation of [[Kostromastan]]. Unlike its counterparts, however, Tuvaltastan is widely viewed as the spiritual successor to Salovia alongside [[Tivot]], as it is the largest in terms of land area, military strength, and GDP, and has recovered quicker from the devastating civil war quicker than its counterparts. This ''de facto'' succession placed the former Salovian colony [[Komertsiya Port]] (located in [[Gondwana]]) under its jurisdiction from 2005 until the [[2020 Komertsiya Handover Ceremony]] in which the city was returned to [[Ayaupia]].

After the [[Salovian Civil War]] ended, the [[Treaty of Astravili (2005)|Treaty of Astravili]] officially established Tuvaltastan, [[Biramura]], and the former nation of [[Kostromastan]]. Unlike its counterparts, Tuvaltastan is widely considered to be the spiritual and political successor to Salovia, as it is the largest in terms of land area, military strength, and GDP, and has the former Salovian capital Akhalibisi as its own capital. This ''de facto'' succession placed the former Salovian colony [[Komertsiya Port]] (located in [[Gondwana]]) under its ''de facto'' jurisdiction from 2005 until 2010, then official jurisdiction from 2010 to the [[2020 Komertsiya Handover Ceremony]], in which the city was returned to [[Ayaupia]] after 180 years of Salovian and Tuvalt rule. Tuvaltastan has replaced Salovia in a number of international organizations, including the [[EPTO]], the Cooperative for East Auroran Nations, and the International Forum among others. Unlike Salovia, Tuvaltastan is a member of the [[UNAC]], and has been a member since its founding in 2017.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==


The name "Tuvaltastan," widely used in both the Stanosphere and Codosphere is a Staynification of the native name "T’uvamalt’aivelo", a portmandeau of the two primary Salovian provinces that made up the general area in which the nation presides; T’uvamits’a and Alt'anap'iro. A direct translation of the native name is "Land of Tuva-Alta," which is the origin of the Staynified name as well.
The name "Tuvaltastan," widely used in both the Stanosphere and Codosphere is a Staynification of the native name "Sat’uvaalt’asvelo", a portmandeau of the two primary Salovian provinces that made up the general area in which the nation presides; T’uva and Alt'a. A direct translation of the native name is "Land of the Tuva-Alta People," which is the origin of the Staynified name as well.


Initially used predominantly by the people of [[Packilvania]], the suffix -stan made its way into the Staynish lexicon during the [[Great Morstaybishlia#Morstopackia and the Great War|Morstaybishlian-Packilvanion Union]] in 1897, and came to refer to the nations of both [[Kostromastan]] and Tuvaltastan.

In modern terms, "Tuva" refers to the region of Tuvaltastan east of the [[Tervil |Tervil mountain range]] lining the west coast of [[Lake Nilovi]], and is believed to be directly related to the name for the native people who inhabited the region prior to Salovian migration, known as the Tervians.

"Alta," like "Tuva," refers to a sub-national region of Tuvaltastan; the desert region that stretches from the city of [[Crescent]] on the border with Xiopothos, over to the vertical city of [[Tula]]. Alta is believed to be related to either the Salovian word for highlands (aghalmti) or the Aluvtik River, a tributary to the larger Xinskal River.

{{See also|List of Chancellors of Tuvaltastan}}


===The War for Mortanap'iro (2009-2010)===
===Growth from Lake Nilovi===
This war was 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 along the northern portion of Tuvaltastan and the eastern corner of Kostromastan, and eventually politicians in Tuvaltastan called for a war to settle the border dispute. The Hall approved of the war, and the war killed approximately 12,000 Tuvalts and 11,000 Kostros. The war also resulted in Tuvaltastan keeping its border with Tarelia, and leaving Kostromastan landlocked.


The war drew resources away from the already-secessionist region of Tarelia, resulting in the region declaring its independence in 2010, shortly before the end of the war.
===Kingdoms of Terliva and Nelokhvi===


===Occupation and Integration of Avutili (2012-2016)===
===Salovian Expansion===
In an effort to re-assert control over the southwestern Pacific region, the Tuvalt military began efforts to regain control over the former Salovian region of Avutili, under control of the fledgling [[Kingdom of Avutili]] at the time. The military of Tuvaltastan was officially given approval by the Zedakhli to begin operations in early 2013. Much of the world condemned Tuvaltastan's actions, calling the invasion a blatant violation of the self-determination of the Avut people. The natives of the island utilized guerrilla war tactics against the Tuvalt military, who had never stepped foot on the Avut Island. The native Avuti had been successful at keeping the Tuvalt Government in the northern half of the island, until December 3rd, 2016, when reinforcements moved to the island from the south and began surrounding the natives, eventually capturing the entire archipelago for Tuvaltastan. A few weeks later, the Tuvalt government also moved towards the two other former Salovian archipelagos, The East Crescent Isles and the Far East Isles. The Far East Isles are the habitat of the white-tailed Dragonhawk, an endangered subspecies of the Dragonhawk. As such, the general Tuvalt public called for the islands to be converted into a nature reserve. In response, the Tuvalt government enacted a bill to create the Far East National Park and Nature Reserve.


Plans have been in place to turn the Crescent Isles into a commercial and business hub, and for the southernmost island of the Avut Isles into a military facility. After being integrated into Tuvalt society, the native Avuts have been protesting, calling for more rights to their land. A bill was put through the Chamber to determine whether the Avuts should be given a reservation on April 2nd, 2017, and the Chamber voted 39-6 to allow for the largest island in the Avut Archipelago to be converted into the Avutili Autonomous Domain.

===Beginnings of Tuvaltastan===
Tuvaltastan, along with Kostromastan, were officially independent on the day October 17th, 2005. During the first year of its existance, the nation worked on writing the constitution of Tuvaltastan. The first administration went into office in the year 2006, and came out of office in 2008. There were issues in making a completely new nation from the ground up, with entire institutions having to be established, the destroyed infrastructure having 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).

===Occupation and Integration of Avutili (2011-2016)===
Following the expansionist mindset of Salovia, the Tuvalt Government had begun militarily occupying [[The Kingdom of Avutili]]. The natives of the island used guerrilla war tactics against the Tuvalt military, who had never stepped foot on the Avut Island. The native Avuti had been successful at keeping the Tuvalt Government in the northern half of the island, until December 3rd, 2016, when reinforcements moved to the island from the south and began surrounding the natives, eventually capturing the entire archipelago for Tuvaltastan. A few weeks later, the Tuvalt government also moved towards two other archipelagos, The East Crescent Isles and the Far East Isles. The Far East Isles contained an endangered subspecies of the Dragonhawk, and were duly converted into the Far East National Park and Nature Reserve. Plans have been in place to turn the Crescent Isles into a commercial and business hub, and for the southernmost island of the Avut Isles into a military facility. After being integrated into Tuvalt society, the native Avuts have been protesting, calling for more rights to their land. A bill was put through the Chamber to determine whether the Avuts should be given a reservation on April 2nd, 2017, and the Chamber voted 39-6 to allow for the largest island in the Avut Archipelago to be converted into the Avut Autonomous Domain.

The Governmental System of Tuvaltastan consists of three branches that heed to a particularly rigorous checks-and-balances system. Every two years, a general election takes place for every Legislative seat, with the Executive positions undergoing a yearly vote of confidence on March 17th, the Independence Day of the country. Judicial positions are selected from a series of nominees, and are selected by an anonymous group of 12 randomly-selected citizens of Tuvaltastan, who must unanimously agree on who to appoint. There are limits on how long one person can be in office, however: for the Executive positions, the term limit is three, and for the Legislative the term limit is six. Judges serve a lifelong term until retirement, resignation, or death.

==Geography==

===Climate===

===Ecosystem===

===Biodiversity===
Due to the preceding nation of Salovia's beliefs (see Encroachment), there is very minimal biodiversity within Tuvaltastan. The government has been trying to reverse this with genetic engineering, but so far the efforts have been in vain.

==Environment==

===Encroachment===
The dominant beliefs of The Kostuvian Empire and Salovia was that every living thing that could not be used by humans were inferior to humans, driving many endangered species to extinction. As such, Tuvaltastan's government has made it top priority to protect the remaining plants, animals, and other living things and their habitats.

===Conservation Efforts===
The Tuvalt government has designated the remaining wildlife as protected, and as such cannot be tampered with whatsoever. The lakes of Tuvaltastan are also protected, but licensed fishermen are allowed to fish during specific times of the year.

===Remaining Flora and Fauna===

===Currency===
===Currency===
Since its inception, Tuvaltastan, along with many other UNAC members, uses the [[Kirib]], which is one of the most-traded currencies. Initially a Morstaybishlian-specific currency, the [[Auroran Continental Assembly]], the predeccesor to the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent|UNAC]], established the currency as organization-wide, and has since been adopted globally, rivalling the South Hills Dollar in influence and stability thanks to its unique financial management as independent from any political influence.
Tuvaltastan, along with many other UNAC members, use the Kirib, which is one of the most-traded currencies.


===Agriculture===
===Agriculture===

====Livestock in Tuvaltastan====
The Tuvalt farmers altogether maintain one-third of the area of Tuvaltastan, all of it dedicated to growing food. To make raising livestock more effective, many farmers began working together to create a new subspecies of the five major livestock. The current subspecies of livestock have been dubbed "Tuva livestock," due to some unique characteristics that the animals have developed. Two of the subspecies have also developed the ability to produce larger-than-normal amounts of offspring. It is unknown why.

Note: All the livestock listed are "Tuva livestock," as mentioned before.
[[File:Truecow.jpg|thumbnail|left|A Tuva Cow]]
=====Cattle=====
Tuva Cattle are a subspecies of the typical cattle that evolved in the farmlands of Tuvaltastan. When mature, the cattle have 50% more meat than the typical cattle. The females' udders contain 30% more milk than the typical cattle as well.

[[File:Truesheep.jpg|thumbnail|right|A Tuva Sheep]]
=====Sheep=====
Tuva sheep are a subspecies of sheep that evolved in the farmlands of Tuvaltastan. The Tuva sheep evolved to grow their fleece 80% longer than typical sheep, producing more clothes per sheep, and also evolved to have 5% more meat than normal sheep.

[[File:Truechicken.jpg|thumbnail|left|A Tuva Chicken]]
=====Chickens=====
Tuva chickens are a subspecies of chickens that evolved in the farmlands of Tuvaltastan that produce eggs at a rate 80% faster than typical chickens, and also have 10% more meat on them. The Tuva chickens do not have wings, and as a result, chicken wings are no longer a food in Tuvaltastan.

[[File:Truellama.jpg|thumbnail|right|A Herd of Tuva Llamas]]

=====Llamas=====
Tuva llamas are a subspecies of llamas that evolved in the farmlands of Tuvaltastan that are much stronger than the typical llama. A Tuva llama is, on average, able to carry four times its weight, and the fur of the llamas have become softer, and as such are now used in clothing in Tuvaltastan.

=====Overpopulation Issue=====
Tuva Livestock have become such a popular alternative to traditional livestock in Tuvaltastan, that the populations of these animals is threatening the habitats of the native species. This has resulted in an overpopulation issue, which has been resolved through the exportation of surplus offspring to other countries, the main importing country being Xiopothos, with an occasional large purchase from the Oan Isles.

====Crops====
Due to the climate during the summers and winters of Tuvaltastan, biodomes were constructed so as to simulate the climates in which the crops listed below thrive in. The biodomes are located on the outskirts of the largest five cities.

In Kemerovo, there are five primary industrial sections: The Textile Sector, The Manufacturing Sector, The Mining Sector, The Services Sector, and The High Tech Sector, the Mining Sector being the largest.

[[File:spacstn.jpg|thumbnail|right|The TSS2]]
Science and Technology make up a substantial portion of the Tuvalt Governmental budget, as this field ranges from a simple car mechanic store to a space station designed to simulate gravity to even artificial beef. 3D-Printing is a very commonly-used technology for building structures in a quick fashion, with many houses now being built in a few days rather than a few weeks.

====Aeronautical Science and Technology====
Currently, there are two space stations set up in space by Tuvaltastan, those being the TSS1 and TSS2. The TSS1, however, will soon become part of an international space station called the Urth Space Station, or USS. The TSS1 will be integrated into the USS, in particular the measuring technology, which includes the ACE (Atmospheric Composition Examiner), the EMUR (Electromagnetic and Ultrasound Reader), and the EL (Exoplanet Locator). Plans have also been developed to send a space probe out to the twin system Fidelma and Eithne, but the Aero Force has not yet executed the plan, as a few kinks have to be worked out.

Another major innovation in technology that is being used in aerospace is the food synthesizer, which uses small DNA samples of different foods to "print" them. The synthesizer has managed to make burger patties, cheese, and even lettuce. The technology is in prototype stages at the moment, but is believed to become available to the public in 2021.

====Agricultural Science and Technology====
The TDA (Tuvalt Department of Agriculture) is the main leader in Agricultural innovation, and has pioneered many aspects of vertical farming, including an efficient way to grow rice vertically. The TDA has also studied in detail the best conditions for different species to grow, and most vertical farms and greenhouses have been set up to meet these conditions. Their primary objective is to regulate and monitor the foodstuffs produced within Tuvaltastan, measuring

At one time, the Ghost City of Rentorov hosted a total of 3,922,163 people. However, due to the Rentorov famine, there are no people left in the Ghost City of Rentorov. The city's surviving inhabitants relocated to Port Barnaul and other surrounding settlements. It is rumored that the black market has established itself in Rentorov.

===Religion===
Although 15.5 million people claim to be Catholic, 83% have reported they do not go to church. 95% of those people celebrate only Christmas and Easter. Until the 1600's, Kotvarianism was the dominant religion. However, a mix between pandemics and missionaries replaced Kotvarianism with Catholicism. There is a minority of 50 Clarityists. Unsure of how these worshippers ended up in former Salovia, many experts have theorized that they are refugees that entered Aurora illegally during [[Fortuna]]'s War Against Caliphate Aggression.

The Grand Republic of Tuvaltastan, commonly known as Tuvaltastan, is a nation that exists on the continent Aurora that has a border with Tarelia, Volova, Great Morstaybishlia, Nolova, Thalria, Faethalria, Nilovia, and exists directly north of the island nation of Dragonia. The nation, with a Nominal GDP per capita of $27,643, has an estimated population of 27,802,894 as of 2020. Tuvaltastan encompasses the three southernmost major Auroran Lakes, those being Slovi Lake, Orts'ilovi Lake, and the northern half of Lake Nilovi, in order from west to east. The nation follows the southern coast of the continent, with Nilovia splitting the coasts into two sections: The East Coast and The South Coast. Tuvaltastan also has dominion over a number of islands, those being divided amongst the subdivisions of The East Crescent Isles, Avutili, The Far East Isles, Absurdvani, and Kemeshovi. The largest city Shagonar holds an estimated 4,627,134 individuals and the capital Akhalibisi holds another 3,122,776. Shagonar and the fifth largest city Kar'topi are both part of the Shagonar-Chilekani-Kar'topi Area (often referred to as Shachika), and hold a population of nearly 11 million people. The center of the nation, namely the Akhlos P’reria and Shoreuli P’reria provinces, make up the majority of croplands within the country, making up __% of the nation's total consumption.

Tuvaltastan is one of a number of nations once part of the former nation of Salovia, and that distinction has greatly affected its role on the world stage since the nation's founding in 2005. After the Salovian Civil War ended, the Treaty of Astravili officially established Tuvaltastan, Biramura, and the former nation of Kostromastan. Unlike its counterparts, Tuvaltastan is widely considered to be the spiritual and political successor to Salovia, as it is the largest in terms of land area, military strength, and GDP, and has the former Salovian capital Akhalibisi as its own capital. This de facto succession placed the former Salovian colony Komertsiya Port (located in Gondwana) under its de facto jurisdiction from 2005 until 2010, then official jurisdiction from 2010 to the 2020 Komertsiya Handover Ceremony, in which the city was returned to Ayaupia after 180 years of Salovian and Tuvalt rule. Tuvaltastan has replaced Salovia in a number of international organizations, including the EPTO, the Cooperative for East Auroran Nations, and the International Forum among others. Unlike Salovia, Tuvaltastan is a member of the UNAC, and has been a member since its founding in 2017.

Etymology

The name "Tuvaltastan," widely used in both the Stanosphere and Codosphere is a Staynification of the native name "Sat’uvaalt’asvelo", a portmandeau of the two primary Salovian provinces that made up the general area in which the nation presides; T’uva and Alt'a. A direct translation of the native name is "Land of the Tuva-Alta People," which is the origin of the Staynified name as well.

Initially used predominantly by the people of Packilvania, the suffix -stan made its way into the Staynish lexicon during the Morstaybishlian-Packilvanion Union in 1897, and came to be used to refer to the nations of both Kostromastan and Tuvaltastan.

In modern terms, "Tuva" refers to the region of Tuvaltastan east of the Tervil mountain range lining the west coast of Lake Nilovi, and is believed to be directly related to the name for the native people who inhabited the region prior to Salovian migration, known as the Tervians.

"Alta," like "Tuva," refers to a sub-national region of Tuvaltastan; the desert region that stretches from the city of Crescent on the border with Xiopothos, over to the vertical city of Tula. Alta is believed to be related to either the Salovian word for highlands (maghalmti) or the Aluvtik River, a tributary to the larger Xinskal River.

History

Separation of Salovia

(See Salovian Civil War)

Beginnings of Tuvaltastan

The War for Mortanap'iro (2009-2010)

This war was 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 along the northern portion of Tuvaltastan and the eastern corner of Kostromastan, and eventually politicians in Tuvaltastan called for a war to settle the border dispute. The Hall approved of the war, and the war killed approximately 12,000 Tuvalts and 11,000 Kostros. The war also resulted in Tuvaltastan keeping its border with Tarelia, and leaving Kostromastan landlocked.

The war drew resources away from the already-secessionist region of Tarelia, resulting in the region declaring its independence in 2010, shortly before the end of the war.

Occupation and Integration of Avutili (2012-2016)

In an effort to re-assert control over the southwestern Pacific region, the Tuvalt military began efforts to regain control over the former Salovian region of Avutili, under control of the fledgling Kingdom of Avutili at the time. The military of Tuvaltastan was officially given approval by the Zedakhli to begin operations in early 2013. Much of the world condemned Tuvaltastan's actions, calling the invasion a blatant violation of the self-determination of the Avut people. The natives of the island utilized guerrilla war tactics against the Tuvalt military, who had never stepped foot on the Avut Island. The native Avuti had been successful at keeping the Tuvalt Government in the northern half of the island, until December 3rd, 2016, when reinforcements moved to the island from the south and began surrounding the natives, eventually capturing the entire archipelago for Tuvaltastan. A few weeks later, the Tuvalt government also moved towards the two other former Salovian archipelagos, The East Crescent Isles and the Far East Isles. The Far East Isles are the habitat of the white-tailed Dragonhawk, an endangered subspecies of the Dragonhawk. As such, the general Tuvalt public called for the islands to be converted into a nature reserve. In response, the Tuvalt government enacted a bill to create the Far East National Park and Nature Reserve.

Plans have been in place to turn the Crescent Isles into a commercial and business hub, and for the southernmost island of the Avut Isles into a military facility. After being integrated into Tuvalt society, the native Avuts have been protesting, calling for more rights to their land. A bill was put through the Chamber to determine whether the Avuts should be given a reservation on April 2nd, 2017, and the Chamber voted 39-6 to allow for the largest island in the Avut Archipelago to be converted into the Avutili Autonomous Domain.

Economy

Currency

Since its inception, Tuvaltastan, along with many other UNAC members, uses the Kirib, which is one of the most-traded currencies. Initially a Morstaybishlian-specific currency, the Auroran Continental Assembly, the predeccesor to the UNAC, established the currency as organization-wide, and has since been adopted globally, rivalling the South Hills Dollar in influence and stability thanks to its unique financial management as independent from any political influence.
