Tusania (/tjuːsɑːnjiɑː/, known formally as the Republic of Tusania (Toosani: Jamhuuriyadda Toosiyanka; Badawiyan: جمهوريه توسانيه tl. Jumhuriat Tusaniyah; Gaullican: République Tusanienne; Weranian: Republik Tusanisch) is a sovereign nation located along the Coast of Bahia on the mainland of the continent of Coius. It borders Habasha to the south, NULL to the north, the Coast of Bahia to the east, NULL to the west, and Tabora to the southeast across the Bay of XXXX. It also maintains jurisdiction over the island of Kisgomane, which lies within the Vehemens Ocean itself. Tusania has an estimated population of 17,839,329 as of 2019, ranking it as the XXth most populous nation in Coius and the XXth most populous in the world. It has a total land area of XXXkm2 (XXXsqmi), making it the XXth largest in Coius and the XXth largest in the world. Its capital is the city of Gulaayo, which is also its largest city.

Tusania has long been under the control of a series of clans for thousands of years, many of whom have either formed independent polities of their own or have paid fealty to more powerful rulers from the Bahian interior. The clans of the region would finally unify under the Sultanate of Damaxato in the 15th-century. The sultanate would remain stable and prosperous until the mid-XXth century, when it was systematically dismembered by both Weranian and Gaullican forces and incorporated into each nation's colonial holdings as part of the colonies of Adésine, Dacie, and Weranian Bahia. The rise of national functionalism in Gaullica would see the Toosani people in Adésine and Dacie undergo significant hardship under their colonial masters due to their anti-Bahian and anti-Irfanic policies, and the Great War would have the region see much fighting between Weranian and Gaullican forces throughout the conflict. Following the conclusion of the war the region was designated a Community of Nations Trust Territory of Tusania under XXXX Administration until 19XX, when it became independent as the Sultanate of Tusania.

Tensions between the population and the ruling clans, as well as the introduction of the ideals of Bahian socialism, pan-Bahianism, as well as Irfanic socialism and political Irfan resulted in riots, strikes, protests, and general unrest which culminated in the Tusani Revolution by socialist revolutionaries in the Revolutionary Socialist Union Party in 1967. The revolutionaries, known as the Golaha, would found the Tusani Socialist Republic that same year. Though initially ruling benevolently, economic stagnation and increasing political unrest led to the Golaha to become increasingly repressive and manipulative in their attempts to maintain control, using coercion between the clans in order to secure loyalties. Protests calling for reforms and a subsequent crackdown sparked a mass civil uprising that would eventually morph into a multi-sided civil war, which would see much of the country fragment along clan and religious lines. The civil war would largely end in 2009 with the signing of the XXXX Accords, though some groups, particularly Irfanic terror groups, refused to demobilize and have since vowed an insurgency against the government. Since then the country has become a relatively stable semi-presidential parliamentary republic, albeit one which struggles to maintain democracy within its institutions, which has been overseen by President Siyaad Geyre and Prime Minister Kulane Xirsi and the Union for National Development since the end of the civil war.

Tusania is a member of the Community of Nations, the International Trade Organisation, the Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs, the Congress of Bahian States, and is an observer within the SOMEBADAWIYANORGANIZATION.

Etymology

The word "Tusania" is believed to be a Eucleanisation of the Toosani word for "upright," or "toosan". The phrase was adopted as an endonym by the tribes and clans of the region to describe themselves following the unification of the region under the Sultanate of Damaxato as a statement of their independence and self-reliance. Following the colonization of the region by Gaullica and Werania use of the name was discontinued, with the region being folded into colonial holdings as part of the Gaullican colonies of Dacie, Adésine, and parts of Bahia-Centrale and Weranian Bahia.

Use of the word, now to describe the region as a whole, began to be introduced once again following the Great War, with the region being designated by the Community of Nations as the Trust Territory of Tusania under Weranian Administration until 1955. That year the signing of the Lawgeisa Agreement saw the independence of the region under the Sultanate of Tusania and the first official use of the word to describe the region as an independent state as well as within constitutional and legal documentation. Generally accepted by this time, usage continued with the founding of the Tusani Socialist Republic, was maintained through the transitional period following the Tusani Civil War, and has been in continued use with the current government.

Politics and Government

President Siyaad Geyre

Prime Minister Kulane Xirsi

Tusania is a federal multi-party semi-presidential parliamentary constitutional republic. The current constitution was promulgated on the 1 January 2010 as a result of the XXXX Accords that brought the Tusani Civil War to an end. The constitution largely split executive government authority from the President and imparted much of it to the Prime Minister and the National Assembly. The President is directly elected using a single transferrable vote system for up an unlimited number of six-year terms. The current President is Siyaad Geyre of the Union for National Development, who has served in the office since the conclusion of the civil war in 2010. Previously he oversaw the transitional government that implemented the XXXX Accords. The President has the Vice President and Prime Minister, each of whom are nominated via the National Assembly and are approved by the President. Each can serve an unlimited number of two-year terms. The current Prime Minister is Kulane Xirsi, also of the Union for National Development, who has likewise served since 2010. The current Vice President is Abshir Buule, also of the Union of National Development.

The legislature of the country is the bicameral National Assembly, which is split between the upper Assembly of Jurors and the lower Assembly of Experts. Members of the Assembly are elected for an unlimited number of four-year terms, and have the power to impeach the President as well as remove the Prime Minister through a vote of no confidence.

Though Tusania is a multi-party democracy, the nation has been largely dominated by between two primary political parties; the Union for National Development and the National Justice Movement. Secondary parties include the Socialist League, the People's Community Party, and the Transformation Coalition.

Military

Tusania maintains a relatively large military for its size, owing largely to the ongoing Tusanian insurgency and sporadic civil unrest within the country. Known as the Tusanian Defence Forces, the nation's armed forces are believed to number somewhere between 650,000 and 900,000, though the government does not produce official figures for national security reasons. If estimates are correct, though, it would be the XXXth largest in the world. Consisting of the Tusanian Ground Defence Force, the Tusanian Air and Air Defence Force, the Tusanian Naval Defence Force, and the Tusanian Special Republican Guard, the TDF is primarily tasked with maintaining internal and border security within the country. The country also maintains a paramilitary gendarme force known as the National Civil Protection Service, though, much like the military, few specifics are known.

In addition to armed soldiers, the country also maintains a military intelligence service branch as part of the TDF, known as the National Intelligence Service. The President is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and all branches of the military report to him or her directly.
