Toloria has a generally Meditteranean climate, due in most part, because it is surrounded by water on three sides. It features mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. The presence of bodies of water around the country keep it relatively cooler than other countries that have a close proximity to the equator. The average yearly amount of precipitation is around 425 mm.

Biodiversity

Demographics

Toloria is the most populous country on the Diharan continent, with about 62.5 million inhabitants, estimated as of 2018. The population has grown rapidly since the 1980's. This is due to medical advances and higher sanitation standards in the country.

Tolorians are highly urbanized, with most being centered around the coast and near the Yobi River. A majority of inhabitants live in the cities, while around 21% live in rural villages. Immigration increased exponentially starting in the 1980's, as President Gwaza consolidated power towards his office, and caused national stability to increase.

Ethnic Groups

Ethnic Tolorians, also referred to as Zulu people, make up the majority of Tolorian citizens, constituting 65% percent of the population. The Yorulu make up 19% of the population, making it the largest minority in the country. This ethnic group came about as a result of colonization. Immediately following the granting of its independence, many of the colonial citizens chose to stay and continue to capitalize of the country's abundant resources. Seeing a chance to capitalize on ending rule by the former colonial power, the Tolorian rulers enacted the law of miscegenation, forcing interracial breeding. This led to the Yorulu, meaning "multiple roots" in the native language, being created. In the last decade, this group has grown exponentially. The Bantu population is the second largest minority, making up 11% of the population. However their numbers have been dwindling in recent years. The Hutu's make up 8% of the population.

Around 4 million of the Hutu people are refugees from the northern territories. Immigration laws are relatively relaxed in the country however they have become tougher in the past few years, due to the rising influx of refugees.

Law Enforcement and Crime

A specialized provincial police unit stands watch at a protest.

There are three different types of law enforcement in the Tolorian Kingdom. Their jurisdiction is divided into national, provincial, and municipal authorities.

  • National law enforcement agencies, like the Tolorian National Police and the National Security Agency have jurisdiction at a national level, and are always the highest ranking officers when involved in operations. They are usually involved in situations where national security is at risk, such as terrorist plots, bomb threats, and mass shootings.
  • Provincial law enforcement agencies, like the Asalake Poléce Provinciále operate within the confines of their province. There are 9 different provincial law enforcement agencies, and this group generally handles the majority of policing. In majority of cases, they are the highest ranking agencies, however, they do collaborate with national security agencies in some cases.
  • Municipal law enforcement agencies, like the Asalake Porté Paťrol are the lowest ranking enforcement agencies and only deal with issues in their municipalites. This would include matters of port security, town security, and specific local areas of interest. They operate under the command of local governments, rather than the national government. However, the national government has the power to seize command of these agencies whenever necessary.
