The Tabulu Islands, officially the Commonwealth Republic of the Tabulu Islands, is a nation located in the [[Paisi Island Chain]]. It consists of 1 main island ([[Ka'fua]]), 3 minor islands ([[Tajam]], [[Fa'rika]], [[Pukica]]), and many smaller, uninhabited islands. The capital city is [[Fort Ka'kua]]. It is widely accepted that the original settlers were the [[Mo'vakai'i]] people of whom settled down in Tabulu an estimated 4,200 years ago, although some classical scholars dispute this theory.

=Etymology=
The Tabulu Islands is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation Federal] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution Constitutional] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_(government_title) Presidential] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic Republic], consisting of 12 [[Politics Of Tabulu| administrative divisions]]. It is a member of the [[Torvonese Commonwealth]], and has recently been accepted into the [[Sekidean Union]] as an associate state. As of 2019, [[Ocan T'fika]] has been the president of the nation.
Tabulu's earliest naming can be traced back to the [[Tabuluan_Language|Tabuluan]] words for island and moon. "Ta'abu" is the Tabuluan word for island (lit. Ocean Land). "Liu" is the Tabuluan word for crescent, however has been appropriated to mean moon. The Torvonese spelling of Tabulu is "Tabjulu." While Tabulu is the recognized title of the region, many natives of the islands call Tabulu "Fu'lokatu" which translates to homeland. Further, in spite of Tabulu being the official name, Common speakers will often use the word "Tabula" instead of Tabulu, primarily due to naming conventions from the 19th century.
 
The Tabulu Islands has had strong support from the Torvonese government following its independence. The Torvonese Government invests over 300 million dollars into Tabulu each year, as well as maintaining a naval military prescence on Ka'fua. While many [[Tabuluan Nationalism|Tabuluan Nationalists]] claim that the Torvonese should be ejected for crimes commit during the colonial period, this sentiment is not widespread and many Tabuluans have accepted the apology offered by the Torvonese government.

==Pre-Colonial Rule==
==Early Tabulu==
==Early Torvonese Expiditions==
The first people to discover Tabulu were the [[Mo'vakai'i]] peoples in roughly 4,200 BCE. The first skeletons and burial sites were found 15 miles inland from the [[Ka'kua Bay]]. Because of the absence of a written language in Mo'vakai'i culture, the way that the Tabuluans have been traced is primarily through [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics genetics] and trade with the other Mo'vakai'i peoples.
==Torvonese Rule==
 
===Crown Colony of Tabulu===
The Tabuluans were far less populated than the other, Northern island chains, although that is not to say that they were unpopulated. However, because of their position as a 'frontier' island, populations rarely migrated, and much of Tabuluan culture became stagnant because of this.
===Crown Autonomy of Tabulu===
 
====1907 Revolution====
The first Kings of Tabulu were of the [[Fa'kido]] line, in roughly 200 CE. The Fa'kido line would marry into the other Paisi Islander nations towards the North, causing them to become much more important. The Fa'kido line would maintain a large amount of power over Tabulu up until the Torvonese Colonization.

==1700's Tabulu==
==Contemporary History==
In the year 1689, Torvonese Explorers would discover the Tabuluans. Torvonese descriptions of the people describe them as being "ashen-haired, with skin like a pig's." This may be in reference to the natural toughness and hairiness of ethnic Tabuluans, although this claim is disputed as it may have just been discrimination. While the Torvonese would eventually leave the islands, many Tabuluans claimed that the Gods were warning them; that the explorers were messages from the Gods, telling them to change their ways. This sentiment was localized, however, and the Torvonese did not immediately settle. Instead, the Torvonese introduced them to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet Latin alphabet], resulting in increased trade. In 1763, with the permission of King [[Ra'kumunki Fa'kido]], Torvonese settlers were permitted to begin building their own cities independent of the Tabuluans. However, this would lead to confliuct between the Tabuluans and Torvonese people, especially as the Torvonese began to claim the overwhelming majority of the Islaands. By 1793, the Tabuluans were forced to either live in Torvonese cities, or live in the jungle with no houses.

From 1842 until 1979, Torvon maintained partial control over Tabulu in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_monarchy dual monarchy]. While the kings and queens of Tabulu maintained autonomy, they were not permitted into Torvonese settlements and the Torvonese kings ultimately dictated the laws. While minor conflict was present because of this, the kings often worked together. One famous example is the [[Tabuluan Housing Act]] of 1861, in which Native Tabuluans were finally permitted to live in Torvonese-built cities. While slight racism continued throughout, many Torvonese who lived in Tabulu gradually came to live alongside them instead of above them. Another thing brought by the Torvonese was [https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity Christianity], which would begin to phase out the islander's original religions.

In 1845, Torvonese Settlers who had likely contracted [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_fever yellow fever] moved to Tabulu. While the Torvonese had a heightened resistance due to former exposure, many of the Tabuluans were struck by the illness. Between 1845 and 1847, roughly 60% of the population contracted the disease and 8% died because of it. While Tabuluans of the time attributed the illness to the Anger of the Gods, Torvonese evangelicals used this as proof of 'the true God,' claiming that the plague was only affecting the natives for their paganism. This causedan increase in conversions upon the islands, and by 1849, an estimated 85% of people on the islands were of a Christian denomination

In 1905, following increased calls for independence around the world and the beginning of the fall of many empires, Tabuluans began to want for freedom. In 1904, the Tabuluans had organized themselves into a new government, and sent a list of demands to Torvon, primarily detailing the need for independence. These demands were rejected. In retaliation, the Tabuluans took over Fort Ka'kua and its accompanying naval base. When word of this reached the Torvonese, several battleships and infantry battalions were sent to assault the location. On January 3, 1905, Torvonese forces landed on the beaches outside of Ka'kua. [[File:Hawaiian-Samoan_meeting_aboard_Kaimiloa_1887.jpg|thumb|Torvonese Naval Forces posing for a picture, 12 miles off the coast of Tajam Island.]]  On January 5, Torvonese naval forces issued one warning to the Tabuluans to give up their arms. The Tabuluans refused. Hours later, shelling began of Tabuluan positions. As a strange prelude to the [[Great War (Anteria)]], the Tabuluans dug trenches, tunnels, and other ways to protect themselves from the shelling. Bogged down on the beaches, Torvonese forces were eventually forced to dig trenches themselves, although theirs were of a worse quality due to the tide and constant water flooding it. It is widely recognized as one of the military failures of Torvon, as they failed to ever take any land upon the island.[[File:TrenchOnTheBeaches.jpg|thumb|Torvonese trench, dug into the beaches in February.]] In March of 1905, the Torvonese Government, after viewing the casualty numbers for Torvonese in the thousands, elected to give the Tabuluans partial autonomy.

Torvon would originally join the Great War on the side of the [[Iron Pact]], and as would be expected by a colony, Tabuluan troops volunteered to join the war effort. The [[26th Infantry Regiment (Tabulu)|26th Infantry Regiment]], composed of 950 Tabuluan Volunteers, would be sent overseas to fight against [[The Alliance (Anteria)|The Alliance]]. Many of the troops who volunteered had already fought in the Tabuluan Insurrection, and had combat experience. While vastly underequipped by the Torvonese government due to supply shortages, the Tabuluans would be issued shovels as hand-to-hand weapons. Their brutality in trench raiding would earn them the nickname by The Alliance of "Die Spatmen - The shovelmen."

==Law Enforcement and Crime==
When Torvon was forced to switch over to the Alliance side in 1907, the Tabuluans were informed of this decision when they were with several other units from other nations. In a shock maneuvre, the Tabuluans "picked up their pistols, rifles, and shovels, and then shot and stabbed their own friends." The Torvonese command, hearing such horrific tales, primarily began employing the Tabuluans as a "šokpolki," or Shock Regiments. The Tabuluans would continue to serve throughout the war, however their numbers dwindled rapidly due to their constant being put at the front lines. By 1909, the 26th Infantry Regiment was sent back to Tabulu, due to their numbers being at 2/3 their original size and not receiving new volunteers.

Another major aspect of the Tabuluan identity in the Great War was in the Torvonese Navy. The Tabuluan people have always described themselves as being connected to the sea, and so it made the most sense to join the Naval Forces. 1,800 Tabuluans would serve in the Torvonese Navy, primarily as gunners on smaller boats and corvettes. The Tabuluan sailors would be less effective than their land-based counterparts, however, they still are reported as having assisted in the sinking of at least 4 ships.

By the end of the Great War, an estimated 3,500 Tabuluans had served in the Torvonese military, and of those, 982 had died. At [[Mahakua Remembrance Park]], there is a tribute to all 982 deceased men. The last Tabuluan soldier, [[Ocan Mikatua]], died in 2013.

The Commonwealth Republic of the Tabulu Islands, more commonly known as Tabulu or the Tabulu Islands, is a small island nation located in Kristalotodove. Tabulu has a population of 195,312 citizens as of 2018, of which roughly 42,000 live in the national capital of Fort Ka'kua. Tabulu is a federal constitutional presidential republic. The 112 islands that Tabulu controls are divided into 14 provinces, with any city containing a population higher than 20,000 declared a federal territory. In recent years, Tabulu has become a very popular tourist destination, of which Tabulu has used to raise awareness about the climate crisis that would raise the sea level, eventually drowning Tabulu. Education and employment are recognized largely as high priorities of the government, with a literacy rate of 99.8 percent and an employment rate of 3.8 percent. Many workers are employed in the countries' wind energy programmes, as well as working in the tourism industry. Tabulu's foreign relations with most countries are warm, however nations that produce large amounts of non-renewable resources have been often criticized by Tabulu.

Etymology

Tabulu's earliest naming can be traced back to the Tabuluan words for island and moon. "Ta'abu" is the Tabuluan word for island (lit. Ocean Land). "Liu" is the Tabuluan word for crescent, however has been appropriated to mean moon. The Torvonese spelling of Tabulu is "Tabjulu." While Tabulu is the recognized title of the region, many natives of the islands call Tabulu "Fu'lokatu" which translates to homeland. Further, in spite of Tabulu being the official name, Common speakers will often use the word "Tabula" instead of Tabulu, primarily due to naming conventions from the 19th century.
