Temaria (Temarian: Tämerland, Hesurian: Tamerland), officially the Republic of Temaria (Temarian: Republiek Tämerland, Hesurian: Republik Tamerland), is a landlocked country in the Telmerian peninsula in north-eastern Berea. It borders Cuthland-Waldrich to the south and west, and Mascylla to the north. To the east, Temaria has a small coastline on Lake Sigismund, where its capital, Tinz am Sigmund, is located. Other urban settlements in the country include Weibern, Seifritz, Rothenthur, Kappl and Unterbierg. The country as a population of 2,681,410 as of 2020, making it the second-smallest country in Telmeria ahead of Lilienburg. The country is comprised of ten cantons and is located in the middle of Gasselian Mountains, where the source of the Mogt river, which also runs through the country, is located.
Temaria was originally inhabited by the Temeres, a Telmeric tribe closely related to their neighbours in Mascylla and Cuthland. The Albarian Kingdom to the north introduced widespread Cambran-era technology to Telmeria shortly after the empire's attempts to expand northwards. Ingmar the Great consolidated the Temeres into the Principality of Temaria in the 800s, becoming the southernmost of the medieval-era Mascyllary kingdoms. The principality lasted around 600 years until it was conquered by the First Cuthish Empire in 1444, the first of multiple conquests that set the Cuthish-Mascyllary borderlands in Temaria. Under Cuthland, the Temarian language and culture was repressed and Cuthish people were encouraged to settle in Temaria to outweigh the local population. Extensive Cuthish and Waldrisian influence on Temaria saw the culture begin to diverge from mainland Mascyllary culture in the 1500s, before it was conquered by the Kingdom of Aldia in the Mögt War. Temaria was part of Aldia during the process of Mascyllary unification in 1793, becoming a part of a unified Mascylla with the Treaty of Langquaid. Cuthland conquered Temaria once again in 1841, before Temaria gained its independence with the Treaty of Lehpold in 1916.
The country's first Minister of State, Emil Ulmer, characterised the nation's development into an extensive free market economy with a developed welfare state. Temarian industry benefitted from the Temarian sale of arms to rebel groups in Cuthland and the Mascyllary government in the late-1910s and 1920s, despite condemnation from the international community. Temaria joined the Assembly of Nations in 1930, and began a process of economic and social integration with Mascylla under Augustin Reichleitner. The Temarian government collapsed during the Melasian Crisis over the ruling coalition being divided on support of Mascylla or neutrality, and led to the ratification of the 1946 Temarian constitution, transitioning Temaria from a presidential system to a parliamentary system, with the President adopting a figurehead role. Since then, Temarian politics have traditionally been dominated by the National Greens, a right-wing green party that has contributed extensively to Temaria's environmental maintenance and quality.
Temaria is renowned for its geographical landscapes, situated on the Mögt river that runs through the Gasselian Mountains, which dominate the country's northern landscapes. The country also has a sizable amount of lakes within its borders, as well as coastline on the larger Lake Sigismund. Temaria's famous natural landscapes are also accompanied by a diverse array of flora and fauna, many of which are native only to Temaria and its immediate surrounding area. Green politics and eco-tourism have been significant in preserving Temaria's natural areas, with over 30% of the country being protected from significant human activity.
Today, Temaria remains one of the world's most developed countries. With one of the world's highest Human Development Indexes at 0.944 and GDPs per capita at $66,112 (PPP), $81,019 (nominal), a low-category Gini coefficient at 29.8, and an extremely developed service sector with a branching quaternary sector, as well as one of the world's most encompassing welfare states, including free-at-use universal healthcare for Temarian citizens. It is a member of the Assembly of Nations and enjoys sizable economic and social integration with its neighbour Mascylla, and, more recently, with Cuthland-Waldrich, with Temaria relying on the former for national defense purposes.
