Tarua, officially the Republic of Tarua, is an island nation in southern Thalassa on Eurth. Its closest neighbors are Konalani to the northwest and the Sunset Sea Islands to the northeast. Tarua consists of a main archipelago as well as minor outlying islands in the South Oriental Ocean, totaling a land area of 13,040 square kilometers. Around 85% of the total population of 629,519 live on the two biggest islands, Ietuhea and Noamea - the former of which contains the capital and most populous city of Tampaka. The vast majority of the rest inhabit the remaining Taruan archipelago, which includes the islands of Aavia, Tiola, and several dozen islets. The remote islands in the south, which lie some 1,500 kilometers from the main islands, are mainly uninhabited, except for the village of Sopoaga on the island of Mitui.
Marenesian settlers first reached the islands around 200 CE, and lived in a native tribal structure with little outside contact for millenia. In the 18th? century, ??? explorers first arrived in Tarua. After a period of limited contact, the islands were annexed and colonized by XYZ, with their strategic position in the Oriental Ocean being utilized as a significant naval base. The country gained its independence in 19XX from XYZ, but for the first few decades was ruled as an autocratic state under the rule of dictator Sahinta Vilai. After protests against falling quality of life and increased corruption, along with the threat of islands seceding, Vilai was ousted and a federal presidential republic was established. The current President of Tarua is Ieremia Itaea.
The Taruan economy relies heavily on the agricultural, tourism, and fishing sectors. Mineral extraction has been growing in the country, as old nickel mines have reopened in recent years, but the sector remains controversial due to its environmental impact.
