'''Tusania''' ({{wp|Help:IPA/English|/tjuːsɑːnjiɑː/}}, known formally as the '''Republic of Tusania''' ({{wp|Somali language|Toosani}}: ''Jamhuuriyadda Toosiyanka''; {{wp|Arabic language|Badawiyan}}: ''جمهوريه توسانيه'' {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''Jumhuriat Tusaniyah''; {{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''République Tusanienne''; {{wp|German language|Weranian}}: ''Republik Tusanisch'') is a {{wp|sovereignty|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 (island)|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 [[Kylaris|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 (city)|Gulaayo]], which is also its largest city.  
'''The Kuthbane''' ({{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''le Koutbanie''; {{wp|Arabic language|Rahelian}}: ''الكوثبان'' {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''al-Kothbin''; {{wp|Oromo language|Gamra}}: ''Caalaamaansa''; {{wp|Berber languages|Tiheyâgh}}: ''Uⵏⵏⵉⴳⵉⵉⴷⵉ'' {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''Unnigiidi''), known officially as the '''Federation of the Kuthbane''' ({{wp|french language|Gaullican}}: ''Fédération des Koutbanie''; {{wp|Arabic language|Rahelian}}: ''اتحاد الكوثبين'' {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''Athad al-Kothbin''; {{wp|Berber languages|Tiheyâgh}}: ''ⵄⴼⵉⴷⵉⵕⴰⵍⵉⴷⵓ ⴷⴻⴳ Uⵏⵏⵉⴳⵉⵉⴷⵉ'' {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''Afidiṛalidu deg Unnigiidi'', is a {{wp|sovereignty|sovereign}} landlocked nation located in [[Bahia]] on the continent of [[Coius]]. It borders [[Tsabara]], [[Nise]], and [[Zorasan]] to the west, [[Mabifia]] to the south, [[Yemet]] and [[Bamvango]] to the east, and [[xx]] to the north. Kuthbane has an estimated population of
35,489,980, making it the XXth largest country in Coius and the XXXth largest in [[Kylaris|the world]]. It has a total land area of XXXXXXXkm2 (XXXXXXXsqmmi) making it the XXth largest in Coius and the XXXth largest in the world. A {{wp|federalism|federal}} {{wp|presidential system|presidential}} {{wp|republic}}, Kuthbane's capital, largest city, and political center is the city of [[Bahire]].


Tusania has long been under the control of a series of [[Noble clans of Tusania|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 [[Damaxato War|systematically]] [[Seizure of Godaasa|dismembered]] by both [[Werania|Weranian]] and [[Gaullica|Gaullican]] forces and incorporated into each nation's colonial holdings as part of the colonies of [[Colony of Adesine|Adésine]], [[Colony of Dacie|Dacie]], and [[Weranian Bahia]]. The rise of national functionalism in Gaullica would see the Toosani people in Adésine and Dacie undergo [[Years of Dread (Tusania)|significant hardship]] under their colonial masters due to their anti-Bahian and anti-Irfanic policies, and the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] would have the region see [[Tusanian involvement in the Great War|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|Trust Territory of Tusania under XXXX Administration]] until 19XX, when it became independent as the [[Sultanate of Tusania (19XX-1967)|Sultanate of Tusania]].
The Kuthbane has been the crossroads of many empires and cultural groups, both [[Rahelia|Rahelian]] and [[Bahia|Bahian]], for millennium. As such the region was the source of many trading empires throughout history, with the [[Gounga Empire|Goungan]] and [[Jibeta Empire|Jibeta]] being particularly prominant. The powerful [[Noble tribes of the Kuthbane|tribal groups]] and [[Noble clans of the Kuthbane|clans]] of the region would eventually unify under the [[Kingdom of Koumtine]] in the mid-12th century. Though imperial dynasties and power structures would change over time the region remained largely prosperous until the end of the Bahian slave trade, which the Koumtineans had largely facilitated, resulted in the collapse of regional economic structures and trade. The region would be seized by [[Euclea|Euclean]] powers shortly thereafter, coming largely under the authority of [[Gaullica]]. The region would be heavily utilized for both its mineral and human resources, with the many in the region serving in the ranks of Gaullican {{wp|Askari}}. This trend would only heighten during the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] as the region saw significant fighting between the forces of the [[Entente]] and [[Grand Alliance]] powers. Following the conclusion of the war the region entered a period of [[Sors Sors Uprising|heavy instability]], with the population largely united in vying for independence. This independence would be secured in the year 19XX with the [[Fort Batteaux Agreement (Kuthbane)|Fort Batteaux Agreement]], creating the Federation of the Kuthbane.


Tensions between the population and the ruling clans, as well as the introduction of the ideals of {{wp|African socialism|Bahian socialism}}, {{wp|pan-Africanism|pan-Bahianism}}, as well as {{wp|Islamic socialism|Irfanic socialism}} and {{wp|Political islam|political Irfan}} resulted in [[Tusanian unrest (1960-1967)|riots, strikes, protests, and general unrest]] which culminated in the [[Tusani Revolution (1967)|Tusani Revolution]] by {{wp|revolutionary socialism|socialist revolutionaries}} in the [[Revolutionary Socialist Union Party (Tusania)|Revolutionary Socialist Union Party]] in 1967. The revolutionaries, known as the [[Politburo Standing Committee of the Revolutionary Socialist Union|Golaha]], would found the [[Tusani Socialist Republic (1967-1997)|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. [[1997 Tusani protests|Protests]] calling for reforms and a subsequent [[Operation Nadiifi (1997)|crackdown]] sparked a mass civil uprising that would eventually morph into a multi-sided [[Tusani Civil War|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 (2009)|XXXX Accords]], though some groups, particularly {{wp|Islamic terrorism|Irfanic terror groups}}, refused to demobilize and have since vowed an [[Tusani insurgency (2009-present)|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 [[Head of state of the Republic of Tusania|President]] [[Siyaad Geyre]] and [[Head of government of the Republic of Tusania|Prime Minister]] [[Kulane Xirsi]] and the [[Union for National Development]] since the end of the civil war.
Independence would not come with prosperity however, with many of the country's institutions struggling to cope with the strains of sovereignty. This, alongside long-standing political, ethnic, and religious tensions, would see the country fall into [[First Kuthbani Civil War|civil war]] by 1965. The civil war, which was marked by both ethnic and religious violence on all sides, would result in a government heavily dominated by {{wp|Arabs|Rahelians}}, {{wp|Berber peoples|Tiheyâgh}}, {{wp|Afro-Arabs|Bahio-Rahelians}}, and [[Irfan|Irfanics]]—predominantly from the northern and southwestern regions of the country—under the militia leader [[Abdul Noor al-Hosseini]]. Al-Hosseini's rule would see heavy favoritism towards his local power bases, tribes, and clans to the detriment of the country's [[Sotirianity|Sotirian]], [[Bahia|Bahian]], and sedentary agriculturalist segments of the population. He would be assassinated by [[Movement for Democratic Liberation-Front for Bahian Freedom|pro-Bahian rebels]] in 1979. His death would leave a significant power vacuum within the country, and the subsequent backlash by al-Hosseini supporters within both the civilian population and the armed forces would plunge the country into a [[Second Kuthbani Civil War|second civil war]]. This conflict would last significantly longer, resulting in the fragementation of the central government into various factions, and see numerous ethic and religious massacres on both sides. The conflict would only be brought to an end by the [[CITY Accords]] in 1992, backed by both the [[Community of Nations]] and regional powers. The accords, which installed a power-sharing government of national unity, weigh heavily on the modern-day political system of the country. Additionally significant are CoN peacekeepers who still patrol segments of the country as well.


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 {{wp|Anglicisation|Eucleanisation}} of the {{wp|Somali language|Toosani}} word for "upright," or ''"toosan"''. The phrase was adopted as an {{wp|Exonym and endonym|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 [[Colony of Dacie|Dacie]], [[Colony of Adesine|Adésine]], and parts of [[Colony of Bahia Centrale|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 (Kylaris)|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 (1955)|Lawgeisa Agreement]] saw the independence of the region under the [[Sultanate of Tusania (1955-1967)|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 (1967-1997)|Tusani Socialist Republic]], was maintained through the {{wp|transitional government|transitional period}} following the [[Tusani Civil War]], and has been in continued use with the current government.

Following the creation of the [[Tusani Socialist Republic (1967-1997)|Tusani Socialist Republic]], the upper echelons of the [[Revolutionary Socialist Union (Tusania)|Revolutionary Socialist Union]] quickly set about establishing legitimacy and good will within the public by beginning large-scale {{wp|public works}} projects, {{wp|literacy|literacy campaigns}}, and {{wp|land}} and {{wp|agrarian reform}}. They also began to establish improved relations with the [[Congress of Bahian States]], as well as various {{wp|Organisation of Islamic Cooperation|Irfanic international organizations}} in an attempt to burnish their [[Irfan|Irfanic]] and {{wp|Pan-Africanism|pan-Bahianist}} credentials. At the same time, the RSU, their [[Jinniyo duur|paramilitary forces]], and the [[People's Security Services|secret police]] began arresting and imprisoning members of the Sultanic government, namely members of the [[Warfaa (clan)|Warfaa]] and [[Timir (clan)|Timir]] clans. Due to the fact that most high ranking members of the RSU and TSR government were of the [[Caynaanshe (clan)|Caynaanshe]] and [[Xukun (clan)|Xukun]] clans created some tension between them.
 
In 1972, members of the Warfaa, Timir, and [[Cirguje (clan)|Cirguje]] clans attempted an [[Belexo uprising|uprising]] in the city of [[Belexo]] in order to overthrow the socialist government. It failed, and in [[Dosa Terror|retaliation]] the RSU began enacting harsh penalties against them, excluding them from government and evicting them from their historical lands.
 
The economy began to slow in the mid-1970s and 80s, with unemployment and inflation both beginning to rise sharply. As the economy began to deteriorate there was an increase in the overall opposition to the RSU from all across the country. Some members of the public formed the [[Democratic People's Party]] in opposition to the RSU, which prompted wide-scale crackdowns and a ban of the party and its activities.
 
Rising authoritarianism, which frequently saw the RSU utilize units of the armed forces and secret police made primarily of the Caynaanshe and Xukun clans due to their loyalties to the central government, began to see rising discontent within the country. A {{wp|state of emergency}} was declared over the country following the 1995 [[Assassination of Hufane Huruuse|assassination]] of a high-ranking member of the [[Politburo Standing Committee of the Revolutionary Socialist Union]] by political dissidents, which saw increased crackdowns on civil liberties and rights within the country.
 
These rising tensions culminated in a [[1997 Tusani protests|series of unprecedented protests]] against government authoritarianism, corruption, and the rising costs of living within the country. These protests continued for three months before the RSU declared upgraded the preexisting state of emergency to a full declaration of {{wp|martial law}} over the country. Subsequently, government forces began [[Operation Nadiifi (1997)|Operation Nadiifi]], a full-scale military crackdown on dissent within the country. This saw military forces fire into crowds of protestors in the cities of Gulaayo, Mogasaso, Bardedaay, and Jiibwa, as well as massacre civilians in numerous villages throughout the country over the course of two weeks.
 
In response, civilians began seizing control of government armories while many units in the military began to openly declare their defection from the armed forces. Later that year, opposition leaders founded the [[Tusani Democratic League (rebel group)|Toosani Democratic League]] and began engaging in armed conflict with the government. Facing mass uprisings throughout the country and the mass defections of at least a third of the armed forces, government forces and officials quickly began to desert, defect, or flee the country altogether. This culminated in the [[Battle of Gulaayo (1999)|fall of Gulaayo]] and the complete collapse of the Tusani Socialist Republic that same year. Rebel forces subsequently declared a {{wp|transitional government}} the following year, but ideological, political, personal, ethnic, and clan conflicts saw the loose alliance splinter by 2002. The region had no official government following the collapse of the TDL.
 
Regions quickly began to revert back to pre-colonial tribal, ethnic, and clan-based boundaries following the collapse of the government and the interim authorities in Gulaayo, with each region essentially acting autonomously of one another. This also led to conflicts between the regions themselves over land, resources, and historical ties to a given area. In addition, [[Irfan|Irfanic]] {{wp|Islamic terrorism|terror groups}} also began to find success in filling the power vacuum left by the TDL, at one point holding or contesting between one-third and one-half of the country and founding the [[Islamic Emirate of Tusania (2002-2007)|Islamic Emirate of Tusania]].
 
In 2006, following terrorist offensives as well as a famine caused by a drought and subsequent poor harvest, the [[Community of Nations]] intervened on the side of the [[Tusani Liberation Army]], the [[Irfanic Union (Tusania)|Irfanic Union]], the [[Tusani Youth League]], all of whom had agreed to a cessation of hostilities between themselves in order to form a new transitional government. These groups, backed by Community of Nations peacekeepers, began driving out Emirati forces, [[Battle of Gulaayo (2007)|retaking]] the capital in 2007. By late-2007 the TLA-IU-TYL alliance held control over seventy-five percent of the country, and ninety percent of the population.
 
In late-2008 the nation of XXXX held official peace talks in the city of XXXX, which would culminate in the XXXX Accords later the next year, as well as a constitutional convention to begin drafting a new constitution for the country.

The signing of the [[XXXX Accords (2009)|2009 peace accords]] on 3rd August, 2009 between the forces of the [[Tusani Liberation Army]], the [[Irfanic Union (Tusania)|Irfanic Union]], the [[Tusani Youth League]], and their subordinate paramilitary organizations, brought a technical end to the twelve year civil war. Rebel forces began to disarm, under the supervision of the [[Community of Nations]] {{wp|United Nations peacekeeping|peacekeepers}} under the [[Community of Nations Observation Mission in Tusania|CNOMT]], later that same year. Concurrently, the Community of Nations authorized the creation of the [[Tusani Transitionary Authority (2009-2010)|Tusani Transitional Authority]] ({{wp|Somali language|Toosani}}: ''Maamulka ku meel gaarka ah ee Toosiyanka''; {{wp|French language|Gaullican}}: ''Autorité transitoire de Tusanienne''; {{wp|German language|Weranian}}: ''Tusanisch Übergangsbehörde''; {{wp|Arabic language|Badawiyan}}: سلطة توساني الانتقالية {{wp|transliteration|tl.}} ''Sultat Tusani al-Aintiqalia'') as a {{wp|transitional government}} body which would see the country's [[Constitution of Tusania#2009 amendments|constitutional]] transition into peace.
 
[[Siyaad Geyre]], a Toosani [[Zeilaayo (clan)|Zeilaayo]] politician and technocrat, was selected as the [[Head of state of Tusania|Chairman of the Executive Council of the Tusani Transitional Authority]] and would hold the position for the duration of the transition. Chairman Geyre quickly set about establishing agreements with regional and international nations and bodies, such as [[Gaullica]], [[Zorasan]], the [[Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs]], and the [[International Trade Organisation]], in order to secure funding to finance the national reconstruction process. In addition, he also began signing multiple trade deals in order to re-establish local Tusani industries, infrastructure, and economic capacity.
 
In addition, Geyre set about re-establishing and re-constituting the [[Tusani Defence Forces|Tusani armed forces]], which had largely fragmented and splintered over the course of the civil war. This was largely due to a burgeoning [[Tusani insurgency (2009-present)|insurgency]] by {{wp|Islamic terrorism|Irfanic terror groups}} such as the [[Followers of God (terror group)|Ehellada Ilaahay]], the [[Movement of Pious Youth (terror group)|Dhaqdhaqaaq ee Daacadnimo Dhallinyar]], and the [[The Enlightened (terror group)|Iftiimiyay]], who were carrying out a ruthless {{wp|Spree killer|shootings}}, {{wp|car bomb|car bombings}}, and other {{wp|suicide attack|suicide attacks}}. This was done largely with the assistance of [[Gaullica]] and other international powers.
 
On 1 May, 2010, inaugural elections were held, with [[Siyaad Geyre]] being elected as the first [[Head of state of Tusania|President]] of the country under the new constitution, who then selected [[Muxumed Hareeri]] as his first [[Head of government of Tusania|Prime Minister]]. Within the newly established [[National Assembly (Tusania)|National Assembly]] the election saw Geyre's party, the [[Union for National Development]], create a majority government in both chambers alongside the [[Transformation Coalition]]. The government would become official with the dissolution of the TTA on 31 December, 2011.
 
[[2014 Tusanian parliamentary elections|Elections]] in 2014 would see the UND-TC coalition gain further control over the legislature. That year a [[Week of Terror (Tusania)|series of terror attacks]] would rock the nation and see the death of over 250 people, as well as an additional 12 CNOMT personnel, prompting the deployment of additional troops in the region and a ramping up of military training within the TDF.
 
In 2016 Prime Minister Hareeri declined to accept the President's nomination, paving the way for current Prime Minister [[Kulane Xirsi]] to serve the office.
 
==Geography==
[[File:Almadow Overview.JPG|250px|thumb|left|Overview of the [[Galingale mountain range|Galingale mountains]] from the peak of [[Mount Jarimakoile]].]]
 
Tusania is a large country on the northeastern coast of the [[Bahia|Bahian subcontinent]], along the nautilogeographic region known as the [[Coast of Bahia]], which is itself on the larger continent of [[Coius]]. The nation borders the [[Bay of XXXX]] to the southeast as well as the [[Vehemens Ocean]] via the Coast of Bahia. Due to its ownership of the island of [[Kisgomane (island)|Kisgomane]] it also maintains its own {{wp|Channel (geography)|channel}} between the island and the mainland, known as the [[Udhagaya Channel]].
 
The country is split largely into there primary geographic regions, the coastal region known as the '''fortress coast''' ({{wp|Somali language|Toosani}}:''qalcad xeebeed'') or the fortress, wherein most of the country's population resides and modern economic activity occurs, the interior {{wp|savanna}} known as the '''grazing land''' ({{wp|Somali language|Toosani}}: ''dhul daaqsimeedka''), which is rural and produces much of the national agriculture, and the mountainous region known as '''the Heights''' ({{wp|Somali language|Toosani}}: ''Dhaadheer''), which is dominated by the [[Galingale mountain range|Galingale mountains]]. The fortress coast makes up the entirety of the coastline of the country, stretching into the interior where it meets the grazing land. The mountainous Heights makes up almost the entirety of the western portion of the country, and also makes up much of the hinterlands making up the border.
 
===Climate & Environment===
 
[[File:Savanna towards the south-east from the south-west of Taita Hills Game Lodge within the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary in Kenya.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A {{wp|savanna}} of the [[Haadeey National Wildlife Reserve]] in central Tusania.]]
 
The environment of the region is fairly homogenous, once split between the fortress coast, the grazing land, and the heights. The climate of the fortress coast ranges from {{wp|Mediterranean climate|Mediterranean}} to {{wp|Semi-arid climate|steppe}}, with occasional {{wp|monsoon}} rains. The grazing land is largely {{wp|Humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical}} to {{wp|Tropical savanna climate|tropical savanna}} with distinct wet and dry seasons.
 
The country is home to a myriad of minerals, metals, and other valuable resources. These include {{wp|uranium}}, {{wp|gypsum}}, {{wp|iron ore}}, {{wp|tin}}, {{wp|copper}}, {{wp|bauxite}}, {{wp|yttrium}}, and {{wp|salt}}. Additionally, the country contains large amounts of {{wp|sandstone}} and {{wp|calcrete}}. It is also believed that the country contains an unknown amount of untapped {{wp|crude oil|oil}} and {{wp|natural gas}}, but due to the deterioration of infrastructure and refined resource gathering capacity it is unknown specifically how much of each resource the country contains.

Tusania is a {{wp|federalism|federal}} {{wp|multi-party system|multi-party}} {{wp|semi-presidential system|semi-presidential}} {{wp|parliamentary system|parliamentary}} {{wp|constitution|constitutional}} {{wp|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 [[Head of state of the Republic of Tusania|President]] and imparted much of it to the [[Head of government of the Republic of Tusania|Prime Minister]] and the [[National Assembly (Tusania)|National Assembly]]. The President is directly elected using a {{wp|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 {{wp|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 {{wp|Bicameralism|bicameral}} [[National Assembly (Tusania)|National Assembly]], which is split between the {{wp|Upper house|upper}} [[Assembly of Jurors (Tusania)|Assembly of Jurors]] and the {{wp|Lower house|lower}} [[Assembly of Experts (Tusania)|Assembly of Experts]]. {{wp|Member of parliament|Members of the Assembly}} are elected for an unlimited number of four-year terms, and have the power to {{wp|impeachment|impeach}} the President as well as remove the Prime Minister through a {{wp|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 (Tusania)|Socialist League]], the [[People's Community Party]], and the [[Transformation Coalition]].
 
===Military===
[[File:Djiboutian army soldiers head out on patrol.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Members of the [[Tusanian Ground Defence Force]] on patrol, 2012.]]
 
Tusania maintains a relatively large military for its size, owing largely to the ongoing [[Tusanian insurgency (2009-present)|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 (Tusania)|National Intelligence Service]]. The President is the {{wp|commander-in-chief}} of the armed forces, and all branches of the military report to him or her directly.

The Kuthbane (Gaullican: le Koutbanie; Rahelian: الكوثبان tl. al-Kothbin; Gamra: Caalaamaansa; Tiheyâgh: Uⵏⵏⵉⴳⵉⵉⴷⵉ tl. Unnigiidi), known officially as the Federation of the Kuthbane (Gaullican: Fédération des Koutbanie; Rahelian: اتحاد الكوثبين tl. Athad al-Kothbin; Tiheyâgh: ⵄⴼⵉⴷⵉⵕⴰⵍⵉⴷⵓ ⴷⴻⴳ Uⵏⵏⵉⴳⵉⵉⴷⵉ tl. Afidiṛalidu deg Unnigiidi, is a sovereign landlocked nation located in Bahia on the continent of Coius. It borders Tsabara, Nise, and Zorasan to the west, Mabifia to the south, Yemet and Bamvango to the east, and xx to the north. Kuthbane has an estimated population of 35,489,980, making it the XXth largest country in Coius and the XXXth largest in the world. It has a total land area of XXXXXXXkm2 (XXXXXXXsqmmi) making it the XXth largest in Coius and the XXXth largest in the world. A federal presidential republic, Kuthbane's capital, largest city, and political center is the city of Bahire.

The Kuthbane has been the crossroads of many empires and cultural groups, both Rahelian and Bahian, for millennium. As such the region was the source of many trading empires throughout history, with the Goungan and Jibeta being particularly prominant. The powerful tribal groups and clans of the region would eventually unify under the Kingdom of Koumtine in the mid-12th century. Though imperial dynasties and power structures would change over time the region remained largely prosperous until the end of the Bahian slave trade, which the Koumtineans had largely facilitated, resulted in the collapse of regional economic structures and trade. The region would be seized by Euclean powers shortly thereafter, coming largely under the authority of Gaullica. The region would be heavily utilized for both its mineral and human resources, with the many in the region serving in the ranks of Gaullican Askari. This trend would only heighten during the Great War as the region saw significant fighting between the forces of the Entente and Grand Alliance powers. Following the conclusion of the war the region entered a period of heavy instability, with the population largely united in vying for independence. This independence would be secured in the year 19XX with the Fort Batteaux Agreement, creating the Federation of the Kuthbane.

Independence would not come with prosperity however, with many of the country's institutions struggling to cope with the strains of sovereignty. This, alongside long-standing political, ethnic, and religious tensions, would see the country fall into civil war by 1965. The civil war, which was marked by both ethnic and religious violence on all sides, would result in a government heavily dominated by Rahelians, Tiheyâgh, Bahio-Rahelians, and Irfanics—predominantly from the northern and southwestern regions of the country—under the militia leader Abdul Noor al-Hosseini. Al-Hosseini's rule would see heavy favoritism towards his local power bases, tribes, and clans to the detriment of the country's Sotirian, Bahian, and sedentary agriculturalist segments of the population. He would be assassinated by pro-Bahian rebels in 1979. His death would leave a significant power vacuum within the country, and the subsequent backlash by al-Hosseini supporters within both the civilian population and the armed forces would plunge the country into a second civil war. This conflict would last significantly longer, resulting in the fragementation of the central government into various factions, and see numerous ethic and religious massacres on both sides. The conflict would only be brought to an end by the CITY Accords in 1992, backed by both the Community of Nations and regional powers. The accords, which installed a power-sharing government of national unity, weigh heavily on the modern-day political system of the country. Additionally significant are CoN peacekeepers who still patrol segments of the country as well.
