The earliest known inhabitants of Tacunia were Inidegenous peoples who spoke !Algonquian languages. These tribes lived on the country’s western coastline. Pre-colonial history is defined largely by conflicts and interactions between these !Algonquian tribes. In the Tacunian Interior, Indigenous peoples known as the Chippewa (Ojibwe) inhabited the vast plains. There is less archeological and recorded history of these tribes, much of their history is oral. [[Assim Asteris]], an explorer employed by the Caldish Crown, charted Asteria Superior for the first time on behalf of the Eucleans. Additional journeys were made and contact was established with varying !Algonqian tribes for the first time. A small settlement known as [who cares right now] was established in 1523. Despite initial struggles, its relative success resulted in later colonial settlement in the mid-1500s. Settlement of Tacunia drew the interest of ]][[Kingdom of Estmere|Estmerish]] investors, who through the [[Vehemens Company]] sponsored colonial expeditions to Tacunia’s northern coastline. The first Estemerish settlement was established in 1571. [[Estmere]] and [[Caldia]] continued to colonize the region, cutting deals or finding conflict with the Native tribes. Slavery first began on the island of St. Ellen’s, which was a Caldish colony with a suitable climate for plantation farming. It was later expanded to the Tacunian mainland, but numbers were not substantial as neither the Caldish or Estmerish established significant plantations on the mainland.

Tacunia (Ghaillish: Tacóneann), officially the Commonwealth of Tacunia (Ghaillish: Comhlathas na Tacóineann) is a sovereign country located in the continent of Asteria Superior. It borders Cassier to the north, Chistovodia to the east and Marchenia to the south while all of its west is bathed by the Vehemens Ocean, in which two of its special territories are located. It is home to approximately 64 million people, which concentrate on the north and west coasts. Cromley is the capital of the country and is considered an important political and financial centre for the region, while Freeminster is the largest city.

The earliest known inhabitants of Tacunia were Inidegenous peoples who spoke !Algonquian languages. These tribes lived on the country’s western coastline. Pre-colonial history is defined largely by conflicts and interactions between these !Algonquian tribes. In the Tacunian Interior, Indigenous peoples known as the Chippewa (Ojibwe) inhabited the vast plains. There is less archeological and recorded history of these tribes, much of their history is oral. Assim Asteris, an explorer employed by the Caldish Crown, charted Asteria Superior for the first time on behalf of the Eucleans. Additional journeys were made and contact was established with varying !Algonqian tribes for the first time. A small settlement known as [who cares right now] was established in 1523. Despite initial struggles, its relative success resulted in later colonial settlement in the mid-1500s. Settlement of Tacunia drew the interest of Estmerish investors, who through the Vehemens Company sponsored colonial expeditions to Tacunia’s northern coastline. The first Estemerish settlement was established in 1571. Estmere and Caldia continued to colonize the region, cutting deals or finding conflict with the Native tribes. Slavery first began on the island of St. Ellen’s, which was a Caldish colony with a suitable climate for plantation farming. It was later expanded to the Tacunian mainland, but numbers were not substantial as neither the Caldish or Estmerish established significant plantations on the mainland.

Independentist revolts started after the Kindalk Massacre, in Fayne which sparkled a feeling of dissatisfaction with colonialist powers and marked the commencement of the Asterian War of Secession. The colonies of New Estmere, Fayne and Nou Remana concentrated most of the conflicts against Gaullican domination and in 1765 united against loyalist forces under the Continental Convention that unified the three territories under the United Colonies. As revolts continued and the secession of the territories became a reality, independentists would receive support from the Euclean traditional rivals of Gaullica; Estmere and Etruria declared war against the Gaullican Empire, opening a front in Euclea and another in the south of Asteria Superior. The Treaty of Vicalvi meant the secessionist victory, with the Gaullican formal recognition of independence of the United Colonies and the later division between Tacunia and Marchenia.

At the start of the 20th Century, Tacunia played a crucial role in the Asterias, with a relatively developed industrial capacity and a growing quality of life. The country remained distanced from Coian and Euclean conflicts until the burst of the Great War, in which Tacunia’s forces joined the Allied front fighting alongside Eldmark and Marchenia against Entente forces and in particular, Satucine and Gaullican functionalist influence in the Asterias. In the aftermath of the war, economic difficulties arose in Tacunia and the economic recovery proved too slow. This led to the to the first electoral loss of the United Conservatives in [ years ] years; [ president name; FDR ] led the nation as the first President from the Progressive Party and introduced several social democratic policies under the Canmond Pact, that established the Tacunian welfare state and a large industrial capacity through state investment with consensus from most of the political system. Tacunia joined the Community of Nations intervention against Etruria in the Solarian War, bolstering its international credentials. It was also during this period that Tacunia increased its international influence through the creation of development credits to nations in the Asterias Inferior and the initiatives for world's peace. Major economic growth continued during the upcoming decades. While the Progressive Party laid the foundations of this success, the traditionally dominant United Conservatives and Liberal Party returned to power starting in the late 1950s. The first signs of financial deterioration emerged during the 1980s. With the Liberal Party returned as to its historical role of one of the two government parties, the party achieved the government in 198_ and led Tacunia under large periods of neoliberal policy. While in opposition, a period known as the Progressive Party’s wilderness years, the party reformed into the New Progressive Party. It continued to serve as the third party but rebounded during the late 1990s and early 2000s. In the wake of the 2005 World Financial Crisis, which significantly impacted Tacunia, the Liberal Party entered a period of decline and were overtaken by the New Progressive Party as the flagbearer of the Tacunian “left”. The party won the presidency for the first time in over 50 years in 2015.

Tacunia often leads several socio-economic metrics, regionally, it usually is placed at the top or near it in rankings related to personal security, economic freedom, quality of life, healthcare and education. The nation is a federal semi-presidential republic and counts with a bicameral legislature. It is a founding member of several organisations, such as the OAN, ITO, Community of Nations, GIFA, NVO, ICD and ASTRA, and is an observer of other organisations like COMSED.

Tacunia is generally described as a "full democracy". It is federal semi-presidential republic, with a multi-party system and a stable democratic game rooted in the principles of freedom, consensus and dialogue. Politics in Tacunia have been greatly dominated by the United Conservatives and the New Progressive Party, which have formed most governments since their creation, although with the participation of the Liberal Party and others like the The Greens-Ecologists and Socialists. The government of the Commonwealth is represented on the President of Tacunia and the Cabinet, while the Vice President acts as President of the Congress of Tacunia.

The Constitution specifies the division of power in three branches:

  • Executive: commonly led by the President, who is also commander-in-chief of the military; it is also composed by the rest of Ministers that form the Cabinet and usually advise the President on different matters. The President has the power to impose vetoes to laws enacted by the Congress, create policy, appoint and dismiss ministers and propose bills to be later voted in the legislature.
  • Legislative: composed by the Congress of Tacunia, a bicameral legislature formed by the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, which consist on _ and _ members respectively; members of the Congress are responsible for enacting laws, approving budgets and serving as a balance to the government among other things; the senate and General Assembly of the Congress are presided by the Vice President.
  • Judiciary: led by the Supreme Court of Tacunia and composed by six justices appointed by the President on advise of the government; the branch is also composed by High Courts that deal with criminal offences and civil matters and lastly, the branch is formed by several courts with state jurisdiction that hear appeals on different matters such as family, private law, child and infancy and labour.

The Head of State of the Commonwealth is represented by the President, who is elected by universal suffrage every four years with the option for one re-election; the Head of Government in the Premier, who is appointed by the President and responsible to the Congress of the Commonwealth. The legislature serves the same period as the Presidents and Vice Presidents, members of the congress reserve the power to impeach the President or use a motion of censorship to one or several members of the cabinet. In the judiciary branch, the Commonwealth has been internationally recognised for keeping an independent Supreme and High Courts, the country ranks high in the protection of human rights and state of law.
