Tarper, officially the Federal Chancellery of Tarper (German: Bundeskanzleramt Tarper), is a federal parliamentary republic in southern Covenant. It includes 12 constituent states, covers an area of 643,801 square kilometers, and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. Tarper contains about 82 million inhabitants. Tarper's capital and largest city is Terraum, while its largest conurbation is the Great Mountain River Area in the heart of the country. The country's other major cities are Citrone and Bergfeld

The Ancient Tarperti tribes have inhabited the eastern parts of modern Tarper since classical antiquity. A region named Tarepere was documented before 100 BCE. Though the migration period for the Ancient Tarperti is known to be much earlier. In the middle of the 12th century, Tarperti territories formed a central part of the Tarperti-Sangheili État. During the 14th and half of the 15th centuries, Tarper and the rest of the État became the center of the War of Froistonian Aggression/Expulsion or 130 years war and the Astran War of Succession. In 1848 the 1848 Revolutions took place and the Imperator of the État was executed and the État was made into a parliamentary confederation. In 1885 the Grand Nationalist Revolutions went on until the Dissolution Treaty in 1890, thus beginning the Many Kingdoms Decade.

In 1900, Tarper became a nation state when most of the Tarperti states unified into the Astran-dominated Tarperti Reich. After World War I and the First Civil War of 1912-1914, the Kingdom was replaced by the Communist Confederation of Tarperti Communist Republics. The nation fought valiantly in World War II and brought prosperity. In 1960 a member of the Supreme Council took control in a coup and became the dictator of the CTCR. After a period of increasing transparency and economic disparity the CTCR suffered another coup and in 1991 it was dissolved. The establishment of the fascist / ultra-capitalist Republic of Tarper brought the start of a Second Civil War between the National Confederation and the Northern Alliance. After a brief outside occupation, the modern Tarperti state was founded.

In the 21st century, Tarper is a great power both economically and politically. Tarper is a developed country with a very high standard of living sustained by a skilled and productive society. It upholds a social security and universal health care system, environmental protection and a tuition-free university education.

Tarper was a founding member of the Confederation of Covenant in 2016. Tarper is a member of the World Assembly (soon), the Tarper-Plamyadia Union and the Tarperdrome. Known for its rich cultural history, Tarper has been continuously the home of influential and successful artists, philosophers, musicians, sportspeople, entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers, and inventors.

Etymology

The word Tarper derives from the Latin Tarepere, which came into use after an emperor adopted it for the area that encompasses modern Tarper.

History

Prehistory

Most cultures have a myth or legend about how they got to where they were, but the ancient Tarps were different, they were an unimaginative bunch and thus just referred to themselves as "The Stone that was Thrown". Though this might seem like the start to a magical creation myth, it wasn't. Although after the spread of Christianity to the Tarperti lands, most just agreed upon the Christian creation legends. Recent research suggests that the Tarps came from the East. On their lengthy migration, they deposited and influenced many peoples across modern Covenant. The Tarps brought along their language; the Ancient Tarepere language is of Indo-European origin. The Ancient Tareperes were spread throughout modern Tarper and split into many different tribes. Though after the Creation of "The Great Continental Empire" or more recently known as "The Empire of Covenant" the Tarps were herded into a single area.

The Covenant Empire

The Great Continental Empire or The Empire of Covenant had held all of the territories throughout the continent for 2000 years (712 BC-1300 AD). Not much is known about the Empire due to old texts Having been destroyed by time and then having many giant continually populated cities across the continent. After the conquest of the Tarps in 42 BC; the Tarps were invited as the new sons of the Empire and that they had been saved from their pagan and barbaric lives and so the Tarps were soon assimilated into the Empire and became one with the Imperials. The Tarps were valuable additions to the Empire. Though some resented living within the Empire; this overall feeling attracted the Plamyadiens to woo the Tarps into rebellion. Though the Plamyadiens teased the Tarps they soon proved their amazing skills by helping in "The Plamyadien Sacking of Romurbs", the "October Mutiny", and finally the "Plamyadien First Conquest" or "Fall of Covenant". Afterward, Tarper, like the rest of the nations had encountered a brief dark age, but soon enough the Tarps, along with everyone else found their true paths. For the Tarps, it has been their organization and administration. Almost all of the old Imperial Cities were lost to time and barbarians but the biggest city and capital of Tarper, Terraum, still stands as a monument to the Empire, for it was the Imperials who had built it and raised it from the swamps.

Warring States

During the "Dark Age", many Prominent Tarperti Leaders had promised a united Tarperti Realm but they were instead split into four main groups. Das Terraum Reich of Otho, La Provincia de Tarper Maxima of Octavianus, Comicojord of Hroðulf, and Le Plank Royaume of Cassius. These kingdoms Remained for 42 years but they were quickly replaced by useless and always bickering states. Meanwhile, in the east and west the New Kingdoms of Sanghelios and Plamyadia saw the horrid mess of the Fatherlands and soon they acted upon it.

The TSE

In 1342 the Sangheili and Plamyadiens signed the "Treaty of the Linden Tree", this created the TSE or the Tarperti-Sangheili État. The État was a plan to control the Tarps and Comicans and bring unity to Covenant once again. Within a day of the treaty, Sanghelios and Plamyadia invaded the Comican and Tarperti lands. The "Covenant War" or "Plamyadien Second Conquest" lasted for a few months as the "Civilized Friendship" and "Comjitar" fought savagely. And on Christmas day, 1342 the TSE was finalized. This alliance and attempt at unity included Plamyadiens, Sangheili, Comicans, Tarps, and later in the union's lifespan the Skerieyvos, modern day Hellians, would be a part of this Empire. Within a year of the conquest the first Emperor was elected and crowned, Imperator Justin I the Great of Plamyadia, in the TSE the King was elected and the Imperator met with representatives of all the counties and the electors within the Imperial Diet(Reichstag). The electors were never the Sangheili or the Plamyadiens; they were only ever made up of the Tarperti states, Comico, and the Skerieyvos. Speaking of the Skerieyvos in 1453 the TSE decided to stop being a bump on a log and start conquering stuff. Although modern Hellians hate or do not recognize their defeat by the TSE in the Battle of Cerberus Falls, it is true that this modern militaristic state was once a useless, retarded, backwater, and stupid bunch of tribes that were immediately annihilated by the more superior warriors of the TSE.

Astran War of Succession

The electorates barely changed but they did, except for the Electorate of Astra. Astra was a new power and the legitimate successor to the Terraum Reich. It had come to the attention of old Justin I after his visit to Terraum that this County could be worthwhile and thus he upgraded it to an Electorate. In 1400 the old House of Othoer had fallen in Astra and current Imperator, Winoc II had decided to supplant his house and hopefully gain a personal union with them, Marc I of the House of Capet-Justin was crowned Elector of Astra. After 100 years of ruling the Plamyadien Elector had left no heir, this started a crisis since it was imperial right for the current Imperator to supplant his house to needy electorates, but Imperator Jamshed I of Sanghelios refused to do so. This reignited the Plamyadien claim, no one thought to challenge them, except for the monarch of Tapia, Rubén. Tapia was a small land in between Comico and Astra. This enraged the Plamyadiens so much it started one of the most bloody wars of the TSE, the "Succession War of Astra". For 2 years the supporters of the House of Tapia: Sanghelios, Comico, and neighboring Tarperti lands, fought the supporters of the House of Dussère: Tarperti rivals of Astra, the Skerieyvos, and the elusive lands of Aperture. Rubén came out successful and thus the House of Tapia stayed in the hearts of Tarps from 1502-1912.

War of the Froistonian Agression

The 1500's did not start out as well as they should have. The TSE was under attack for a new way of Christianity had formed outside of the Catholic walls of the TSE. In 1501 missionaries from the Moistan States had visited The TSE but failed to accomplish anything due to the ongoing war, but 1505 they came back only to be lynched by order of the Pope and Imperator. The Four Moistan States declared this as unjustified and declared war immediately, the Four Moistan states united into one and thus adopted the name "Froiston". The war was not brief at all. The TSE had hoped for a quick war for morale was at its lowest because of the succession war. Instead the "War of the Froistonian Aggression/Expulsion" was 130 years long (1505-1635). This war is divided into the "Invasion"(1505-1551), "Treaty of Tradijorn Cap"(1551-1555), "Onslaught"(1555-1595), "Treaty of the Hut"(1595-1601), and Finally "Expulsion"(1601-1635). The "Treaty of Westfalen" brought an end to the war and thus the Froistonians were expelled to their homeland were they bred their ideology of Froistonish Conservatism.

Rennaisance and Plamyadian Revolution

From 1650 to 1750 there was a renaissance in the TSE for old generations died in the war and they gave way to new thought and inventions. And there one of those thoughts was nationalism, this would take a while to set in but it would spell the end of the TSE. From 1750 to 1789 the TSE settled and the money stopped flowing. Within a year Plamyadia had become increasingly bankrupt, the masses grew resentful and in 1793 revolution sparked. The current Imperator, Sanghelios, had expelled Plamyadia in 1795 after seeing that it couldn't control itself and thus it was a danger to the TSE, this decision only grew the hatred of the Plamyadien rebels. In 1804 the Plamyadiens had a new emperor and they wanted revenge. For 11 years the "Plamyadien Third Conquest" went on and soon the TSE had only the Plamyadien Emperor as the leader.

The 1848 Revolution

From 1820 to 1847 is seen as the rise of Tarperti Nationalism and also an overall rise in nationalism in the TSE. The Tarperti saw themselves as slaves to the Plamyadiens and esteemed King Vasco X of Tapia-Astra proposed revolution in the Bundestag of Terraum in 1840. Vasco gave the states of the TSE at least 10 years or when ready to start the rebellion. So the years passed and on the last second of 1847, they declared war. 1848 was highlighted as the massive forces stormed into Plamyadia, killed the Imperator, and set up a democratic government. The TSE ended hundreds of years of an elective monarchy now to become an elective confederation. In 1848 the spirit of freedom was born in the TSE.

The Grand Nationalist Revolutions

The Grand Nationalist Revolutions started with the "Battle of Spreehafen"; in this battle, Plamyadien forces met with Tarperti Nationals along with their navies clashing in the harbor and bay. The Comicans made their first stand at the "Battle of the Cap Gap" in this mountainous battle the Plamyadiens clashed with the Comican Berserkers who were joined by Tarperti Nationals. Meanwhile, the Skerieyvian Brutes fought Sangheili Loyalists and Plamyadien forces in the "Siege of Whylsen"; the siege lasted for 4 months and resulted in the loss of many Plamyadiens (later just the Loyalists), Sangheili Loyalists, and developed the modern militaristic fervor of the Hellians. Within Sanghelios the Grand Nationalist Revolutions resulted in the "Sangheili Civil War". On one side were the Loyalists(those who wanted to fight the nationalist rebels) and on the other were the Elites (those who supported the nationalists and the destruction of the TSE). The reasoning behind the civil war was that the loyalists still dreamt about the imperial pedigree of Sanghelios; meanwhile the Elites supported the cause of the Nationalists and felt that the TSE was supposed to have died a long time ago, they also wanted to experiment with democracy among other things. After 2 months a niche faction in Plamyadia started to gain ground, so much so that the regular army started calling themselves the Loyalists. Soon due to neglect the niche faction grew into the Llamatarianists, the Llamatarianists supported the dissolving of the TSE but they were split between restoring the monarchy that the Tarperti dismantled or creating a greater democracy. During 1887 the war seemed to be a complete chaos and the nationalists' morale was falling, but in the spring the legendary "Battle of the Wits" decided the ultimate fate of the war. In this battle, the Nationalists, Berserkers, Brutes, and Elites all congregated and fought relentlessly for days against the Loyalists. The Wits were a conurbation of fields, creeks, and rivers; the battle was won on these rivers the Loyalists were too jaded to fight the Grand Nationalists and so they suffered many losses. The following 3 years were of no comparison to the bloodbath of the Wits. The final "Battle of Port Douglas" has secured the victory for the Grand Nationalists. The general of the Loyalist army had surrendered and the last Imperator was dethroned. From this war came the nations of Comico, Sanghelios, Skerieyvos, Tarper, and Plamyadia. The next step was to finalize the end of the TSE and the start of a new era in Covenant.

The Many Kingdoms

The 1890's were a hectic time, the world was changing and there were many new countries. The Nationalist revolts were over and the gilded age had come to the continent in the streets the people have never been happier music was coming from every house that owned a record player, cities grew and the medieval influences were almost gone. But within the nations themselves political strife fueled discontent and so the people were incredibly apathetic to politics.

Fall of Communism

Democratization and Mans Hinder

Republic of Tarper

The 90's were a time of turmoil, Hinder had declared himself "Duce", he privatized almost everything, and left no trace of the communists. During this time the international community had shunned Tarper due to it having a dictatorship at the turn of the century. Life for the citizens was leagues below of what it had been back in the CTCR. The National Party dictated almost every aspect of everyday life. The Party was a Nazi/Fascist delegation, and its remnants existed as a legitimate party called 90's Tarper until the Government outlawed it. The NP also promoted a very consumerist lifestyle, although under heavy supervision, allowed the corporations to exploit the naïve citizenry. The government was also changed. From the moment the anthem played in the main square of Terraum, Hinder had infiltrated the People's Assembly of the Confederation with the message of "join or die". The People's Assembly changed to the Party Floor of Tarper. The NP had filled The Party Floor to the brim with members. They had no real freedom but to pass Hinder's legislations. Hinder also converted the CTCR into a unitary state in order to maintain maximum control.

Democratization

In 1996 law had mandated the first election, but there was only one candidate. The people abstained and protested, which caused the Party Floor to decide for the people and unsurprisingly the NP gave Hinder another term, but they had also established a period of "democratization". From this democratization came many underground movements and campaigns to set up an opposition party. The most successful ones were the Democratic Party, NeoComms, Republican Greens, AntiCaps, and Sub-National Party. Though all the leaders of these parties were killed by "accidents" during negotiations with Hinder. In reality Hinder decapitated most with the Comjitar's Blade. The opposition movements never got far and soon died off in late 1998. Though in 1999 a political prisoner and former member of the AntiCaps, Tony Castilla, along with Brigadier General William Großherzog created the New Millennium Party as an underground movement that quickly took hold of the northern and western regions.

Second Civil War

This war which lasted from July 13, 2000, to June 21, 2002, has many names; in Plamyadia it is called "La Guerre Tarpertiere" (The Tarperti War), "Wort-Wort" (Final War in Sangheili, as in the final Covenant War) in Sanghelios, "Second Civil War" in Tarper, "Tertio Bello Covenanto" (Third Covenant War) in Comico, and universally known as "The Hinderist War". On December 31, 1999, as the world was celebrating a new millennium, Tony Castilla and delegates from Plamyadia, Sanghelios, and Comico, met to create The Covenant Peace Congress. The Congress had agreed to start the attack on Citrone on Midday of July the 13th. They chose that date due to it regularly being the laziest day for the army; this intel was given to them by now General of the Army, William Großherzog. The day started like any other, the people were moving and the army was catching some sun rays, the navy did the mistake of harboring the entire fleet in Lindblumhafen of Citrone and were enjoying their time off. The Comican fleet and Plamyadien Volunteer Navy had set off very early in the morning. At 11:50 they approached the harbor, the Lindblum base had alerted them to identify themselves and state their business, none responded. At 11:58 an F-16 had set off from a Comican carrier and at 12:00 the plane had dropped a 1000 pound bomb on the HNS Freiheit and Pilot of the Comican Air Force, Christian X. Baum, had started the war. More planes took off and bombarded the fleet, the control center had now gotten the message and called Hinder, "WAR!, WAR!, WAAAR!, COMICO AND PLAM..." the message ended there as a jet crashed into the control center. And so the Battle of Lindblumhafen and Citrone started. Within a few hours Hinder mobilized the whole Wehrmacht, Plamyadien Volunteer Forces landed in Ostplamyadia, Sanghelios started its bombardment and land invasion of Terraum and Himmelstadt, and the Comican Cavalry Swordsmen invaded Outer Comico. The New Millennium party which had now united into the Tarperti Underground started its missions. Meanwhile, GA Großherzog created phony defensives in order to stall time for his mutiny. But there was something that none expected; Hinder had many working camps throughout Tarper, he knew that these would certainly get him into trouble. And so on November 17, 2000, Duce Mans Hinder, signed the Dissolution Act, this act dissolved the Republic of Tarper and put it into direct control of the National Party, Hinder then ratified the Confederative Papers of the new National Confederation. The National was an unrecognized state now. And so the war waged on. Until April 16, 2000, when GA William Großherzog led the Tarperti Army to commit mutiny, it defected to the Allied forces and merged with the underground, for his actions Großherzog was promoted to General of the Armies. There was no real winner at the moment as the Allies were busy sieging the Tarperti cities and the loyalists that remained in the army were good at defending. But on September 12, 2001, the Outer Comican 1st Cavalry Division rode across the plains and attacked Nationalist forces, they were captured and asked why they had done that, they answered: "Comico is now independent". Earlier that day the mayor of Hellwald had declared the Outer Comico region, a free and sovereign nation under the name Hartjitarm of Comico the Outer. Within hours Riots started in the biggest cities across the regions and the whole south declared independence. The Serenissima Repubblica of Citrone, The Archipelago of Meerland, The Nordstrander Free State, Union of Großberg and Südstrand, and Republique d'Plamyadia del Est, had declared independence. and at the closing hours of September 12, the seven had united into the Northern Alliance, almost immediately being recognized by all nations. By November the Res Publica Terraumensis and Freistaat of Bergfeld had joined the NOA. The war was waning down by May, with Astra under occupation and Österfluss in dissent, it was down to finding Mans Hinder. Hinder had taken refuge in his hometown of Lilhammer, his fort consisted of many luxurious rooms that resembled the palace of Versailles. The Sangheili 1st Infantry Division had found his fort and infiltrated it, a soldier had found the room Hinder was located in, Hinder was about to take his own life, but in the nick of time, one of the soldiers disarmed him. Hinder was forced to sign a peace treaty on June 21, 2002, thus ending the war.
