The Democratic States of Tuvaltastan, commonly known as Tuvaltastan (tuːvɔːltʌstæn), is a nation that exists on the continent Aurora that has a small border with Xiopothos, exists north of Dragonia, and borders Kostromastan. Tuvaltastan exists between the latitudes 30 S and 45 S, and between the longitudes 100 E and 140 E. The nation, with a Nominal GDP per capita of $12,123.24, has an estimated population of 23,588,694, with little to no income inequality. Tuvaltastan encompasses the Southern Auroran Lakes, and follows the southern coast of the continent. Tuvaltastan also has total or partial control of four islands, one of which is in a state of war (Aforementioned location and size subject to change in the future). The largest city Shagonar holds nearly half of the population, with an esimated 11,309,136 individuals and the capital Novosibirsk holds another 8,684,302. The sheer size of the nation also allows for abundant farmland, of which 5% of the population maintains.

The history of Tuvaltastan is greatly intertwined with its neighbors Baykalia and Kostromastan, and goes back as far as A.D. 200, beginning with the Ancient Kostuvians and their immense empire that encompassed central Aurora and a number of small islands north and south of the continent, as well as part of what is now modern-day Dragonia. The Kostuvian Empire existed for 1,774 years, until the three major culture groups (Baykalians, Tuvalts, and Kostros) began the Kostuvastan Civil War. The three culture groups, after the Civil War, founded the three nations Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia. To this day, the three do not get along, and it is not uncommon for there to be violent and typically bloody border skirmishes amongst the three.

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 Tuvalti, and "ÇfkXh" (Pronounced Hfk*hack*) in Altuvi.

Culture

Food

Traditional cuisine of Tuvaltastan is few and far between, because of 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 after the Kostuvastan Civil War, and most food being destroyed in the Corn Bombing Campaign of 1999. The only sources of food that had survived the bombings were hard cheese 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.

Measuring Systems

Length

The base unit of length is the meter, which is defined as the length light travels in 1/299792458 instants (see Time).

1 Meter = 100 Centimeters

1 Centimeter = 100 Millimeters

100 Meters = 1 Kilometer

100 Kilometers = 1 Terameter

100 Terameters = 1 Exameter

Area

The base unit of area is the rotor, which is equal to 1 meter squared.

1 Rotor = 100 Centirotors

1 Centirotor = 100 Millirotors

100 Rotors = 1 Kilorotor

100 Kilorotors = 1 Terarotor

100 Terarotors = 1 Exarotor

Volume

Liquid

The base unit of volume (Lq) is the liter, which is defined as four times the amount of liquid that can fit inside the Human stomach.

1 Liter = 100 Centiliters (Colloquial: Ounce)

1 Centiliter = 100 Milliliters

100 Liters = 1 Kiloliter

100 Kiloliters = 1 Teraliter

100 Teraliters = 1 Exaliter

Solid

The base unit of volume (Sd) is the maud, which is equal to one cubic centimeter of water at its maximum density.

1 Maud = 100 Centimauds

1 Centimaud = 100 Millimauds

100 Mauds = 1 Kilomaud

100 Kilomauds = 1 Teramaud

100 Teramauds = 1 Examaud

Time

The base unit of time is the instant, which is defined by how long it takes light to travel 299,792,458 meters

10 Instants = 1 Second

6 Seconds = 1 Minute

10 Minutes = 1 Standard

6 Standards = 1 Hour

6 Hours = 1 Quarter

Biodiversity

Environment

Encroachment

The dominant beliefs of The Kostuvian Empire and Kostuvastan was that every living thing that could not be used by humans were inferior to humans, and as such actively killed off numerous species. They managed to kill off an entire Genus, the Draconus genus. As such, Tuvaltastan's government has made it top priority to protect the remaining plants, animals, and other living things and their habitats.

Conservation

Economy

Agriculture

The Tuvalti farmers altogether maintain one-third of the area of Tuvaltastan, all of it dedicated to growing food. The sheer size of the farmland has created entire subspecies of livestock that have evolved without the tampering of intelligent life. The newest subspecies of livestock have been dubbed "true livestock," as they have lost their ability to defend themselves, since no predators threaten their way of life, and many of the subspecies have also developed to produce large amounts of offspring. It is unknown why.

Note: All the livestock listed are "true livestock," as mentioned before.
