Tarper, officially the Federal Chancellery of Tarper (German: Bundeskanzleramt Tarper), is a federal parliamentary republic in southern Covenant. It includes 10 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 Eidgenossenschaft der Tarperti Kommunistischen Republiken. 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 ETKR. After a period of increasing transparency and economic disparity the ETKR suffered another coup and in 1991 it was dissolved. The establishment of the fascist / ultra-capitalist Republik Tarper brought the start of a Second Civil War between the National Bund and the Union der Südlich-Sechs. 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.

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.
