History[]

Main article: History of Tukarali
See also: Timeline of Tukarese History

The earliest records of a Tukarese state date to the 7th Century BCE, under the rule of the Kemokian Empire centred in Aldegar. Modern Tukarali gains its name from the satrapy which administered the region at that time, the Satrapy of Tokharya. After Kemoku collapsed in 302 BCE much of Tukarali was ruled by the successive Varigosian and Phraatid kingdoms. Between the 5th and 8th century CE all of ancient Tukarali, as well as most of Seleya, would fall under the control of the Mu-Tze Khanate. With the fall of the Khanate most Tukarese tribes gained their independence, but the south remained under the rule of the Aldegarian Rostamid dynasty.

With the support of the Rostamids the Selucian Kingdom of Argona established colonial factories and possessions on the western coast of Tukarali, and after the fall of the Rostamid Empire Selucian control grew to cover most of Tukarese territory. Selucians brought with them Hosianism and the Selucian language, and the process of Selucianization continued after Argona was united with the other Selucian states to form the Selucian Empire. The Modern Tukarese language and the Hosian religion owe their origin to Selucian colonial rule, but unlike in other Selucian colonies the native population remained the vast majority in Tukarali. With the gradual disintegration of Selucia's colonial empire Tukarali remained the last Selucian colony until it too gained its independence in 1968 with the establishment of the United Tribes of Tukarali, a modern confederation of the Mu-Tze and indigenous Tukarese tribes.

Historically a heavily decentralized nation-state, the increasingly diverse Tukarali faced enormous growing pains and relations with the indigenous population worsened. The influence of the native Tukarese tribes was severely reduced and the political power centered with the descendants of the early immigrant communities eventually brought an end to the United Tribes governmental system. A key turning point was the election of Ryan Malagar as Great Chieftain in 2786. Within the same year, Malagar initiated a national campaign to modernize Tukarali, establish a formal constitution, and strengthen the central government. The Glorious Republic of Tukarali was founded and the tribal system was effectively ended. In additional to industrialization, many of today's cities were established during this period, including the capital city of Sangon. Although the Malagar Era is noted as the beginning of modern Tukarali, it is also criticized due to Malagar's authoritarianism and the republic's operation as a one-party dominant state. Tukarali after 2786 generally remained constitutionally republican although influential monarchies were thrice established. The most stable and influential republican regime, the Democratic Republic of Tukarali, existed for just over 1,600 years and left a lasting legacy on Tukarese culture and politics.

Geography[]

Tukarese Rainforest

Forest in the Lowlands of Vale do Morata.

Tukarali is located immediately north of the equator and has a tropical climate. The spring tends to be rainy and humid and the summers are usually hot. Fall is warm and windy and the winter is cool. While snow is extremely rare in most of Tukarali, it is common in the heights of the mountains that form the southern border with Aldegar. Tukarali is largely divided into an eastern and western half by a mountain range known as the Serra Mãe that extends into Aldegar and Valruzia and also forms the southern border with Aldegar. The Serra Mãe range is dotted with lakes and has several waterfalls. This creates a natural barrier between the rainforests in the east and the savanna in the west, a continuation of the Great Seleyan Steppe.

Rainforests can be found throughout Lago Cuantu and São Miguel but they are most plentiful Borusca, where they compose around 80% of the land. There is also a large river system that runs through most of Tukarali, especially in the east. The western half of Tukarali, in Datã and Vale do Morata, is covered by a tropical savanna that serves as a transitional area between the rainforests in east Tukarali and Gaduridos and the steppes in Valruzia and north Seleya.

Government and politics[]

Tukarali is an authoritarian state. The nation has a unicameral legislature, the National Assembly (Tukarese: Assembleia Nacional). Most political power is in the hands of the Great Dictator, who has no term limits and no official limits on his authority. He acts as the head of state Tukarali, commander-in-chief of the Tukarese Armed Forces, head of government, head of the justice system, and direct supervisor of local administrations.

Elections[]

Tukarali is an authoritarian state. Elections are held every 4 years, but their results are meaningless.

Foreign relations[]

Tukarali has historically been a neutral and self-reliant nation. Most Tukarese governments have sought to avoid international politicking and have taken cautious stances towards foreign issues. Throughout its entire history, Tukarali has never been involved in any major international conflicts or wars. In the past, Tukarali has maintained a mandated status of neutrality although that original treaty is not currently active. In recent years Tukarali has sought economic integration with other nation and has established a partnership with Beiteynu, although the establishment of the dictatorship has cooled off close ties with other nations.

Military[]

The Great Dictator is both de jure and de facto the top commander of the military. The Great Dictator is the only official allowed to decide appointments of military leaders and generals.

The Tukarese Armed Forces are divided into three branches: Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Ethnic groups[]

Tukarali is a multi-ethnic society composed of many types of peoples and cultures. The Tukarese are divided into five groups[1]: pardos, orientais, brancos, indígenas and pretos.

Languages[]

The primary language of Tukarali is Tukarese, which is the sole official language of the nation. Tukarese derives from the Sadarian Selucian varieties spoken in the Kingdom of Argona and its colonial possessions in Tukarali, which eventually diverged both from the Sadarian dialect and from the Egelian language which also derived from it. In spite of the centuries of Selucian colonial rule, the Tukarese language did not displace the native languages of Tukarali and remained spoken by a small coastal minority for much of modern history. Tukarese gradually gained widespread usage starting in the 2800s under efforts of Ryan Malagar to modernize the highly decentralized and under-developed nation, but did not become the national language until the 34th century under the Democratic Republic of Tukarali.

Previously the indigenous Datang language was the national lingua franca under the name of "Tukarese". Datang is a Nautic language spoken by the native Tukarese, together with the closely related Borusian and Kwanto. The Mu-Tze, native to parts of Tukarali, speak the Panmuan language, which occasionally served as a co-official language in the past. As a result of massive immigration numerous languages originating outside Tukarali are now spoken in the nation, particularly Esinsundu languages like Orun, Keobi, Watembo, and Olimi weZulu.

There are also tens or even hundreds of indigenous languages spoken in secluded regions of rainforests among some indigenous tribes.

Education[]

There are five big universities in Tukarali:

  • University of São Miguel
  • Borusca Tech University
  • University of Lago Cuantu
  • University of Vale do Morata
  • University of Datã

Religion[]

Hosianism is the largest religion in Tukarali, being practised by around 47% of the nation. Some 43% of the population claim to be Aurorians, while about 4% consider themselves Ameliorates. Tukarali has the third largest number of practitioners of the Aurorian faith in Terra[2].

The second largest religion in the nation is Mbanda, which is practiced by about 23% of the population. Mbanda originates from the Esinsundu religions brought by immigration to Tukarali practised in syncretism with the other religions present in the nation, and split from Inkolo Esintsundu Sizwe Syncretism in the 53rd century, when it was also proclaimed the sole official religion of the Tukarese state.

As a multi-ethnic country, various other religions in Tukarali have a significant amount of followers, like Ahmadism and Kamism. Daenism, Yazdism, and Jienism account for less than 5% of Tukarali's population. There is also a small minority (under 1%) that practice native faiths such as Kanzo and indigenous beliefs.
