[[:Category: | The '''[[Timeria|Kingdom of Timeria]]''', also known as '''Timeria''' is a sovereign state in Western [[Adula]]. It is bordered by [[Kantoalina]], [[Azil]], [[Cakala]], [[Aybrea]], [[Wyomia]], and [[Somodi]] to the west, [[Artegana]] to the north, and the [[Albarine Sea]] to the east, with maritime borders with [[Austrolis]], [[Peoratia]], [[New Elkland]], and [[Unified Sera]]. Timeria spans 1,269,345 mi² and has a total population of 121 million, making it the [[List of sovereign states and dependent territories (Iearth)|11th most-populous nation]] in [[Iearth|the world]]. It is a constitutional monarchy, with its capital located in [[Infinity]] and the largest city being [[Osea]]. The [[Constitution of Timeria]] establishes the state as secular and democratic, with the current [[President of Timeria|President]] being [[Aneya Raso]]. | ||
The history of Timeria dates back almost 40,000 years with signs of early human civilization, such as some of the earliest bronze tools discovered. One of the oldest known civilizations in world history, for instance, were the Una people who lived deep in rainforests and adapted to the harsh environments, establishing early kingdoms and nation states. The post-classical Timeria was consistent of a rising unitary state on the west coast of the [[Albarine Sea]], with relative isolation from much of the world allowing for sporadic growth, but with key oceanic trade networks spurring development. Timeria emerged as a regional power in the [[Barretoan Wars]] of the 1830s, and became more influential in their involvement in international affairs through the 20th century. Experts generally agree that Timeria became most influential in the 21st century with rising economic strides made through its involvement in the [[Trans Adula Fair Commerce Accord]] (TAFCA). | |||
Timeria is a highly developed free market economy, with significant sectors in technology, tourism, manufacturing, and energy production. The nation's GDP is estimated to be around 6.21 trillion, with a GDP per capita of 48,515, regarded as the [[List of countries by GDP (Iearth)|4th largest economy]] in the [[Coalition of Crown Albatross]]. As a world leader in industrial and technological sectors, as well as a high Human Development Index rating, it is considered a major power and one of the most influential nations in Adula and the world thanks to widespread international investment. It is a founding member of the [[Pan-Adulan Defense Coalition]], [[Trans Adula Fair Commerce Accord]], and the [[C21]]. | |||
==History== | |||
===Prehistory=== | |||
===Early Clans and Unification=== | |||
====The Era of Clan Rivalries==== | |||
In the ancient lands that now constitute modern-day Timeria, ten distinct clans held sway over their respective territories, each defined by a unique warrior culture and system of governance. These clans—Uchiha, Senju, Otsutsuki, Uzumaki, Nara, Hatake, Karatachi, Ryu, Izuno, and Akimichi—engaged in frequent conflicts as they sought dominance over fertile lands and strategic locations. The Uchiha and Senju clans were particularly prominent, with their rivalry dominating the political and military landscape of the region. Both clans fought for control over what is now the Forever and Ryxyns Coast regions of present-day Timeria. Their battles were characterized by intense skirmishes and periodic large-scale confrontations, with each clan seeking to expand its influence at the expense of the other. | |||
====The Role of the Bezdekia Road==== | |||
The Bezdekia Road, a crucial trade route that traversed the region, became a focal point of conflict during this era. Clans often conducted raids on merchants and travelers using the road, seeking to control the flow of goods and resources. These raids were not only economically motivated but also served as a means to assert dominance and gain prestige among rival clans. The Uchiha and Senju clans, in particular, utilized the road as a strategic asset in their ongoing struggles, leveraging their control over it to disrupt the supply lines of their adversaries. The road's significance in trade and warfare further fueled the fierce competition between the clans. | |||
===Colonial Period and Independence=== | |||
The Julian Empire’s Influence | |||
During the height of its power, the Julian Empire extended its reach into the southern regions of Timeria and the Aquarii Islands. From its inception in 2 BCE, the Julian Empire had established itself as a dominant force on the Adulan continent, known for its expansive territory, advanced administration, and military prowess. The empire’s colonization of Timeria’s southern territories was part of its broader strategy to control key trade routes and resource-rich areas. This period of colonial rule saw the imposition of Julian administrative systems, cultural practices, and economic policies on the Timerian lands. The Julian presence significantly impacted Timerian society, introducing new governance structures and altering traditional social norms. Despite the empire’s efforts to integrate Timeria into its vast domain, local resistance and cultural differences remained prevalent. | |||
[[image:Anfiteatro, El Jem, Túnez, 2016-09-04, DD 55-66 HDR PAN.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Ruins of Julian Empire amphitheatre in Lumina, Timeria.]] | |||
====Resistance and Revolt==== | |||
As the Julian Empire faced internal and external pressures, Timerian resistance to colonial rule grew stronger. Various Timerian factions, including local leaders and emerging nationalist groups, began to organize against the Julian administration. The resistance was characterized by both diplomatic efforts and armed conflict. Guerilla warfare and uprisings in key regions, particularly in the southern territories and the Aquarii Islands, intensified as Timerians sought to reclaim their autonomy. The Julian Empire’s ability to maintain control weakened over time, leading to increasing unrest and instability in the colonized regions. By 720 CE, the Julian Empire’s declining influence and the relentless resistance from Timerian forces culminated in a successful rebellion, driving the empire out of Timeria and restoring local governance. | |||
====Formation of the Merian Unity==== | |||
[[image:KingJordan.jpeg|180px|thumb|left|Jordan I.]] | |||
Amidst the widespread clan warfare, a significant shift occurred with the formation of the Merian Unity. This alliance brought together the Nara, Hatake, and Karatachi clans from the southern Meria region. These clans recognized the benefits of collaboration over constant warfare and sought to create a more stable and prosperous society. The Merian Unity played a pivotal role in ending the internecine conflicts that had plagued Timeria for centuries. Through diplomatic negotiations and mutual agreements, the southern clans established a framework for cooperation that laid the groundwork for broader regional stability. This alliance fostered cultural exchange, economic growth, and the gradual cessation of hostilities among the participating clans. | |||
====The Transitional Period (772-797 CE)==== | |||
The period between 772 and 797 CE was marked by significant transformation as Timeria transitioned from a state of perpetual warfare to one of relative peace and unity. During this transitional period, various clans began to recognize the advantages of regional cooperation and the potential for economic development. The cessation of hostilities allowed for the spread of cultures, technologies, and commerce across Timeria. This era saw the emergence of new trade networks, advancements in agriculture, and the growth of urban centers. The gradual decline in clan rivalries set the stage for the eventual unification of Timeria under a single rule, as the clans focused on rebuilding and expanding their influence through peaceful means rather than conflict. | |||
====The Rise of King Jordan and Unification Efforts==== | |||
The unification of Timeria was brought to fruition by King Jordan, a charismatic and strategic leader who emerged from humble beginnings. Unlike traditional royalty, Jordan was a renowned warrior who had risen to prominence through his military prowess and leadership. His union with the daughter of the powerful Chief of the Senju clan played a crucial role in ending the longstanding feud between the Uchiha and Senju clans. This marriage not only secured a lasting peace between the two clans but also established a foundation for broader unity across Timeria. Jordan’s leadership was instrumental in persuading other clans to join the unified Timerian state, culminating in a comprehensive campaign against the remaining dissenting clans, including the Otsutsuki. The successful integration of these clans and regions under one Timerian crest marked the beginning of a new era of stability and prosperity for the nation. | |||
===Modern History=== | |||
Early in the modern era, many foundations of modern Timerian society were formed. Many had expected the union to fall apart after the death of King Jordan, but the nation had continued to progress with relative avoidance of political instability. Most of the Timerian growth was uninterrupted as many developing nations and fledgling empires were focused in East Adula and [[Euronia]]. However, in 1830, Timerian naval power participated in coalition activities at the helm of the [[Barretoan Wars]] and assisted in battling [[Skith]]an imperial fleets in the [[Emmiria Sea]]. | |||
In the aftermath of the Barretoan Wars, Timeria, along with Unified Sera and the Central Adulan nations, saw a rise in economic prominence. Timeria's navy became the most formidable force in the Albarine Sea, reflecting the nation's growing influence and capabilities. | |||
The 19th century was a transformative period for Timeria, transitioning from an agrarian economy to a market-based economy. This period, known as the "Industrial Dawn," laid the foundation for Timeria's industrial growth and economic diversification. The World War further accelerated Timeria’s industrialization, with the nation emerging as a key producer of arms and goods. In 1951, Timeria committed support to the Allied Forces in the [[World War (Iearth)|World War]] in the form of supplies, small detachments of fighter squadrons, and expeditionary troops. Across Timeria production increased and manufacturers worked to meet the demands of the allied forces. Dragonwater became the production capital as the city produced over 1/4th of all exports. Dragon Manufacturing led other manufacturing through its groundbreaking manufacturing methods and efficiency. Despite facing a severe recession in the 1970s, Timeria's economy was revitalized by President Sean Grey’s "21st Century Timeria Initiative," which focused on modernization and innovation. | |||
In 1978, Timeria joined the [[Coalition of Crown Albatross]]. | |||
====21st Century==== | |||
On May 6th, 2011, Timeria became a founding member of the [[Trans Adula Fair Commerce Accord]], an economic alliance that incentivized international cooperation in Adula. | |||
In 2021, Timerian forces were deployed internationally in several nations. They operated in [[Azil]] in response to threats from the [[SHADOW]] syndicate, in [[Kossmil]] following terrorist attacks in [[Dabatta]], and in [[Birat]] and [[Estoca]] at the outbreak of the [[Birat Civil War]]. | |||
==Geography== | |||
Timeria, with a total land area of 1,269,345 square miles, is a geographically diverse nation. The country is defined by its large bodies of water and intricate river systems.

There are also a number of coral reefs in Timeria like Nilan's Reef off the coast of Leo Island. Many sea animals live in the waters around Timeria including Angel sharks, Hawkfish, and reef octopus. The greatest predator off the coast of Timeria are Great White Sharks. The [[Albarine Sea]] produces one of the world's most biodiverse regions, and Timeria's coasts are particularly diverse thanks to sediment runoff from river deltas. | |||
===Landscape=== | |||
The landscape of Timeria is characterized by a gradual increase in elevation from east to west. The eastern regions are more coastal and low-lying, while the western regions are dominated by mountain ranges such as the Kirvista and Selumna Mountains.

===Government=== | |||
The government of Timeria is a democratic system comprising three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. These branches work together to ensure the smooth functioning of the country and the protection of Timerian values. With a diverse political landscape consisting of five major parties, Timeria prides itself on its commitment to democratic principles, freedom of speech, and upstanding values. | |||
'''Executive Branch''' | |||
The executive branch of the Timerian government is led by the President, who serves as the head of state and government. Currently, President Aneya Rasoand, a member of the Democratic Union, holds this esteemed position. The President is elected through a democratic process and represents the interests of the Timerian people. The executive branch is responsible for implementing and enforcing laws, managing foreign affairs, and overseeing the daily administration of the country. | |||
'''Legislative Branch''' | |||
The legislative branch in Timeria is responsible for making laws and representing the interests of the citizens. It consists of the Congress, which is composed of elected representatives from the five major parties. However, the Congress is predominantly composed of members from the largest party, the Democratic Union, which holds the majority of seats. This party embraces moderate ideologies and embodies the traditional Timerian values. Other major parties include the Universal Rights Group, the Collective Egalitarian Party, the Unified Right Party, and the Social Nation Group. | |||
While the Democratic Union holds the most extensive base and includes both left-leaning and right-leaning members, the Universal Rights Group stands out as the most liberal and progressive party. Particularly popular among the younger population, the URG champions progressive policies and ideals. | |||
The Collective Egalitarian Party represents various niche political interests, such as environmentalists and pacifists. Although they have never held the majority in Congress, their support is crucial for passing legislation, making them a significant partner party. | |||
The Unified Right Party, on the other hand, embodies conservative ideologies and mainly attracts populists from smaller communities. Their focus lies in reducing the government's role in citizens' lives and minimizing government spending to provide tax breaks for Timerian citizens. | |||
Lastly, the Social Nation Group represents the leading Socialist Party in Timeria. Although they are the smallest among the five major parties, their representatives often enjoy popularity among the population. Their core objectives include safeguarding government programs and ensuring that businesses operate within responsible boundaries. | |||
'''Judicial Branch''' | |||
The judicial branch in Timeria upholds the rule of law and ensures the fair and impartial administration of justice. It is responsible for interpreting and applying the laws of the country. The judiciary is independent of the other branches of government and consists of a system of courts headed by the Supreme Court. Justices are appointed based on their legal expertise and are tasked with resolving legal disputes, protecting individual rights, and ensuring the constitutionality of laws. | |||
Overall, Timeria's government is built upon the principles of democracy, freedom of speech, and upstanding values. The three branches work together to ensure a balance of power and represent the diverse interests of the Timerian people. With a political landscape consisting of multiple parties, Timeria strives to maintain a democratic process that upholds the rights and aspirations of its citizens. | |||

===Arts and Literature=== | |||
====Literature==== | |||
Timerian literature has seen significant growth, especially during pivotal moments in the nation's history. During King Jordan’s rise to power, a number of notable authors emerged, including Mael Haele, whose epic poem "The Flames of Kings" chronicles the struggles and triumphs of early Timerian leaders. Another influential figure was Sera Veldan, who authored "A Nation Awakened," a novel that captured the spirit of resistance and renewal in Timeria during the 19th century. | |||
Cultural movements also played a significant role in shaping Timerian literature. The "Golden Renaissance" of the 1800s was a period of artistic and intellectual flourishing, where poets, writers, and artists explored themes of national identity, freedom, and social justice.

Theater in Timeria has deep roots, with its most traditional form being "Oratu," a post-classical theater form that originated in the 900s.

The Kingdom of Timeria, also known as Timeria is a sovereign state in Western Adula. It is bordered by Kantoalina, Azil, Cakala, Aybrea, Wyomia, and Somodi to the west, Artegana to the north, and the Albarine Sea to the east, with maritime borders with Austrolis, Peoratia, New Elkland, and Unified Sera. Timeria spans 1,269,345 mi² and has a total population of 121 million, making it the 11th most-populous nation in the world. It is a constitutional monarchy, with its capital located in Infinity and the largest city being Osea. The Constitution of Timeria establishes the state as secular and democratic, with the current President being Aneya Raso.
The history of Timeria dates back almost 40,000 years with signs of early human civilization, such as some of the earliest bronze tools discovered. One of the oldest known civilizations in world history, for instance, were the Una people who lived deep in rainforests and adapted to the harsh environments, establishing early kingdoms and nation states. The post-classical Timeria was consistent of a rising unitary state on the west coast of the Albarine Sea, with relative isolation from much of the world allowing for sporadic growth, but with key oceanic trade networks spurring development. Timeria emerged as a regional power in the Barretoan Wars of the 1830s, and became more influential in their involvement in international affairs through the 20th century. Experts generally agree that Timeria became most influential in the 21st century with rising economic strides made through its involvement in the Trans Adula Fair Commerce Accord (TAFCA).
Timeria is a highly developed free market economy, with significant sectors in technology, tourism, manufacturing, and energy production. The nation's GDP is estimated to be around 6.21 trillion, with a GDP per capita of 48,515, regarded as the 4th largest economy in the Coalition of Crown Albatross. As a world leader in industrial and technological sectors, as well as a high Human Development Index rating, it is considered a major power and one of the most influential nations in Adula and the world thanks to widespread international investment. It is a founding member of the Pan-Adulan Defense Coalition, Trans Adula Fair Commerce Accord, and the C21.
History
Prehistory
Early Clans and Unification
The Era of Clan Rivalries
In the ancient lands that now constitute modern-day Timeria, ten distinct clans held sway over their respective territories, each defined by a unique warrior culture and system of governance. These clans—Uchiha, Senju, Otsutsuki, Uzumaki, Nara, Hatake, Karatachi, Ryu, Izuno, and Akimichi—engaged in frequent conflicts as they sought dominance over fertile lands and strategic locations. The Uchiha and Senju clans were particularly prominent, with their rivalry dominating the political and military landscape of the region. Both clans fought for control over what is now the Forever and Ryxyns Coast regions of present-day Timeria. Their battles were characterized by intense skirmishes and periodic large-scale confrontations, with each clan seeking to expand its influence at the expense of the other.
The Role of the Bezdekia Road
The Bezdekia Road, a crucial trade route that traversed the region, became a focal point of conflict during this era. Clans often conducted raids on merchants and travelers using the road, seeking to control the flow of goods and resources. These raids were not only economically motivated but also served as a means to assert dominance and gain prestige among rival clans. The Uchiha and Senju clans, in particular, utilized the road as a strategic asset in their ongoing struggles, leveraging their control over it to disrupt the supply lines of their adversaries. The road's significance in trade and warfare further fueled the fierce competition between the clans.
Colonial Period and Independence
The Julian Empire’s Influence During the height of its power, the Julian Empire extended its reach into the southern regions of Timeria and the Aquarii Islands. From its inception in 2 BCE, the Julian Empire had established itself as a dominant force on the Adulan continent, known for its expansive territory, advanced administration, and military prowess. The empire’s colonization of Timeria’s southern territories was part of its broader strategy to control key trade routes and resource-rich areas. This period of colonial rule saw the imposition of Julian administrative systems, cultural practices, and economic policies on the Timerian lands. The Julian presence significantly impacted Timerian society, introducing new governance structures and altering traditional social norms. Despite the empire’s efforts to integrate Timeria into its vast domain, local resistance and cultural differences remained prevalent.
Resistance and Revolt
As the Julian Empire faced internal and external pressures, Timerian resistance to colonial rule grew stronger. Various Timerian factions, including local leaders and emerging nationalist groups, began to organize against the Julian administration. The resistance was characterized by both diplomatic efforts and armed conflict. Guerilla warfare and uprisings in key regions, particularly in the southern territories and the Aquarii Islands, intensified as Timerians sought to reclaim their autonomy. The Julian Empire’s ability to maintain control weakened over time, leading to increasing unrest and instability in the colonized regions. By 720 CE, the Julian Empire’s declining influence and the relentless resistance from Timerian forces culminated in a successful rebellion, driving the empire out of Timeria and restoring local governance.
Formation of the Merian Unity
Amidst the widespread clan warfare, a significant shift occurred with the formation of the Merian Unity. This alliance brought together the Nara, Hatake, and Karatachi clans from the southern Meria region. These clans recognized the benefits of collaboration over constant warfare and sought to create a more stable and prosperous society. The Merian Unity played a pivotal role in ending the internecine conflicts that had plagued Timeria for centuries. Through diplomatic negotiations and mutual agreements, the southern clans established a framework for cooperation that laid the groundwork for broader regional stability. This alliance fostered cultural exchange, economic growth, and the gradual cessation of hostilities among the participating clans.
The Transitional Period (772-797 CE)
The period between 772 and 797 CE was marked by significant transformation as Timeria transitioned from a state of perpetual warfare to one of relative peace and unity. During this transitional period, various clans began to recognize the advantages of regional cooperation and the potential for economic development. The cessation of hostilities allowed for the spread of cultures, technologies, and commerce across Timeria. This era saw the emergence of new trade networks, advancements in agriculture, and the growth of urban centers. The gradual decline in clan rivalries set the stage for the eventual unification of Timeria under a single rule, as the clans focused on rebuilding and expanding their influence through peaceful means rather than conflict.
The Rise of King Jordan and Unification Efforts
The unification of Timeria was brought to fruition by King Jordan, a charismatic and strategic leader who emerged from humble beginnings. Unlike traditional royalty, Jordan was a renowned warrior who had risen to prominence through his military prowess and leadership. His union with the daughter of the powerful Chief of the Senju clan played a crucial role in ending the longstanding feud between the Uchiha and Senju clans. This marriage not only secured a lasting peace between the two clans but also established a foundation for broader unity across Timeria. Jordan’s leadership was instrumental in persuading other clans to join the unified Timerian state, culminating in a comprehensive campaign against the remaining dissenting clans, including the Otsutsuki. The successful integration of these clans and regions under one Timerian crest marked the beginning of a new era of stability and prosperity for the nation.
Modern History
Early in the modern era, many foundations of modern Timerian society were formed. Many had expected the union to fall apart after the death of King Jordan, but the nation had continued to progress with relative avoidance of political instability. Most of the Timerian growth was uninterrupted as many developing nations and fledgling empires were focused in East Adula and Euronia. However, in 1830, Timerian naval power participated in coalition activities at the helm of the Barretoan Wars and assisted in battling Skithan imperial fleets in the Emmiria Sea.
In the aftermath of the Barretoan Wars, Timeria, along with Unified Sera and the Central Adulan nations, saw a rise in economic prominence. Timeria's navy became the most formidable force in the Albarine Sea, reflecting the nation's growing influence and capabilities.
The 19th century was a transformative period for Timeria, transitioning from an agrarian economy to a market-based economy. This period, known as the "Industrial Dawn," laid the foundation for Timeria's industrial growth and economic diversification. The World War further accelerated Timeria’s industrialization, with the nation emerging as a key producer of arms and goods. In 1951, Timeria committed support to the Allied Forces in the World War in the form of supplies, small detachments of fighter squadrons, and expeditionary troops. Across Timeria production increased and manufacturers worked to meet the demands of the allied forces. Dragonwater became the production capital as the city produced over 1/4th of all exports. Dragon Manufacturing led other manufacturing through its groundbreaking manufacturing methods and efficiency. Despite facing a severe recession in the 1970s, Timeria's economy was revitalized by President Sean Grey’s "21st Century Timeria Initiative," which focused on modernization and innovation. In 1978, Timeria joined the Coalition of Crown Albatross.
21st Century
On May 6th, 2011, Timeria became a founding member of the Trans Adula Fair Commerce Accord, an economic alliance that incentivized international cooperation in Adula.
In 2021, Timerian forces were deployed internationally in several nations. They operated in Azil in response to threats from the SHADOW syndicate, in Kossmil following terrorist attacks in Dabatta, and in Birat and Estoca at the outbreak of the Birat Civil War.
