The Empire of Tamurin, ruled by the League of the Lords, was founded in 1871 after several centuries of division. In that time, many Tamurinian nations struggled for supremacy in the Tamurin lands. In 1871, the most powerful Lord, George Menelassar, United Tamurin, by force and by politics. He founded the 'League of the Lords, which was mostly called 'Imperial League'. The League was the upper house of the parliament, while the lower house was democratically elected. Actions of the lower house could be overruled by the upper house, which happened very often.
Until 1871, Tamurin was a divided land of dozens of large and small territories, each ruled by their own leader. The Empire was brought into existence by the strongest of these lords, Menelassar, by way of force. One of his first acts was the establishment of the Tamurin Parliament with the lords in the upper chamber while the lower house was democratically elected. The parliamentarians of the lower house overruled the nobility quite often. Emperor Menelassar I died in 1888. His rule was regarded as harsh, but he had completely transformed Tamurin into a powerful, militaristic state.

 Emperor Menelassar I., around 1880
Emperor Menelassar I. died in 1888. His rule was harsh and strong, and he made a powerful militaristic nation out of Tamurin. His son, James Menelassar II., was more liberal and he supported the lower house, especially the republican party. He created the position of prime-minister, who led the government (before that, the Emperor did that himself; he now only controlled the prime-minister, made the foreign policy and controlled the armed forces).
Emperor Menelassar II. resigned in 1896. He was under very hard pressure by the League to stop the democratic improvements and to return to the imperial system. When he refused, they ended their support for him. After one month of political crisis, he resigned and his brother, an Imperial hardliner, Jacob Menelassar III., became emperor.


 Jacob Menelassar III., around 1900
His son, Menelassar II, succeeded him. He was far more liberal and had great respect for the elected lower chamber of parliament. To further improve relations, the Emperor introduced the position of Prime Minister who would take on centralized responsibility for leading the Government. Prior to the role, the Emperor had done that himself. This transferred foreign policy and control of the armed forces to his Prime Minister. Though Menelassar II was loved by the people, he was not by the nobles and was forced to resign in 1896 when the nobility and the Emperor got into a nasty political battle over the furtherance of democratic improvements sought by the lower chamber. His hardliner brother, Menelassar III, became Emperor after a one-month political standoff.
Menelassar II. left the upper house and joined the republican party. He became a great leader of them, while his brother tried to undo the democratic changes. He used methods of totalitarian systems which caused widespread opposition, even in the ranks of the Lords and the armed forces.


 James Menelassar II.
It was around the turn of the century where a wave of reactionary and totalitarian regimes existed. In response to his brother's complete reversal of both his and their grandfather's work, he withdrew from the House of Lords and ran for a seat in the democratically elected lower chamber, which greatly rose his reputation. At first, the nobles approved of Menelassar III's ways but once he took action upon the armed forces and the ranks of the aristocracy who disagreed with him, a civil war was inevitable. The bloody First Tamurin Civil War lasted from 1903-1911 which resulted in the collapse of the Empire of Tamurin and the creation of the Republic.
From 1903-1911 both brothers fought during the First Tamurin Civil War against each other. The war ended with the almost total destruction of the Empire and its supporters. From 1911-2004, the Republic of Tamurin was a more or less stable nation.
From 1912-1937 various social-democratic parties governed the nation and tried to establish a variety of the socialist idea of Karl Marx. They failed and the result was devastating. The economy was down, the nation was technologically inferior and the people were very dissatisfied.
A liberal-conservative government brought the nation back to the first of Europa. From 1938-1967 they modernized the nation and made a top-level economy.
1968, the students revolted. The liberal-conservative government was still in the 30s (with its mind). Progressive parties had to succeed them.
In 2004, the Imperials returned and fought a bloody rebellion against the Republicans. For three months it was not clear what will happen and who will win. But with the help of Ekainak, Byzantinum Nova, Orioni and several others, the Republic survived. Its former president, William Granger, died, but his successor, President Hartman, led the Republic to victory. President Hartman, an independent politician and former mayor of Alaghon, is still serving as President in his first term.
Another important citizen of Tamurin is Field Marshall von Steinburg, Chief of Staff of the Military. He fought bravely during the Second Civil War. His great ancestor, General von Steinburg, led the Republican forces during the First Civil War.

 Protecting Tamurin against Imperial Forces
Until July 31st 2005, a great coalition of conservatives and socialists was dominating the parliament. The new Vice-President, Martin Sumner, was a member of the isolationist movement which tried to reduce ties to the international community. The continued growth of the movement made day-to-day politics very difficult.
On July 31st, 2005, the parliament which was dissolved earlier that month by President Hartman, was re-elected. Former Vice-President Sumner (who was fired) led the new isolationist movement and made it the strongest party. But he failed to achieve the absolute majority and a possible coalition with the nationalists failed. President Hartman is now working with a minority-alliance in the parliament.
Shortly after that, President Hartman died due to a heart attack. In the following election, Martin Sumner was elected President. The isolationists formed an alliance with the socialists and were controlling the office of the president and the parliament. Tamurin cooled down its relations to other nations.
Nearly a year after that the isolationist government broke down when the party fell apart. The isolationist movement had never too much common ground and after Tamurin lived for itself conflicts broke out. After Martin Sumner resigned in March 2006, Chief of Staff and Minister of Defense Field Marshall von Steinburg took over the government, dissolved the Parliament and set up a provisional government until re-elections were held on June 1st.

 Despite all the worries, Tamurinians really enjoy festivals, parties and joyful events
In these elections a progressive alliance consisting of Progressive Conservatives, Social-Democrats and Socialists won the elections, with the Social-Democrats taking over the presidency (J?rgen Axmann), the Progressive Conservatives taking over the Prime Ministry (Hermann Leonhardt) and daughter of former President Hartman Claudia Hartman becoming "Super Minister" for Defense, Foreign Relations and Technology.
During the Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europa (CSCE) a group of terrorists linked to the INELF (Imperial North-East Liberation Front) seized control of the CSCE-building and killed several delegation members including President Axmann. Minister Hartman was able to escape.
After a terrible rescue operation in which nerve gas was used (which killed terrorists, security guards and hostages), the Tamurinian security forces were able to re-take the building, although several mistakes were done during the mission (e.g. friendly fire on hostages). The whole conference was a political disaster for the Tamurinian government.
Wolfgang Leonhardt became President, Claudia Hartman prime minister. Currently, the INELF is gaining strength in North-East Tamurin (Ormath) and civilian groups are putting up pressure on the government because of its obvious lack of skill.
Tamurin continues the policy of "Armed Neutrality", but also tries to close ties between the Oriental nations in eastern Europa. Tamurin recently co-founded the Oriental alliance "EOS".


The initial years of the Republic, between 1912 and 1937, various social democratic parties governed the nation and tried to establish a system around the philosopher X (like karl marx). These attempts failed and the results were devastating. The economy was down, and the country was taken backward technologically. Centrist governments took hold and modernized into a top-level economic powerhouse from 1938 to 1967, at which point there was a student revolt and the more center-right Progressive took charge.
Civil war erupted once more in 2004 when the far-right Imperialists regrouped after remaining in hiding for many decades. It was a brief affair as nations from around the Orient rushed to the Republican banner. With their help, the Republic survived. Since the second civil conflict, Tamurin instituted a policy of 'Armed Neutrality' but despite this designation, the Republic does try to maintain as close ties as possible between the Oriental nations in Eastern Europa. In 2006, Tamurin became a founding member of the [[Entente of Oriental States]].

The Republic of Tamurin is a large, sovereign nation located on the continent of Europa across from Orioni. The Tamurin people, blah, blah, blah.

History

Until 1871, Tamurin was a divided land of dozens of large and small territories, each ruled by their own leader. The Empire was brought into existence by the strongest of these lords, Menelassar, by way of force. One of his first acts was the establishment of the Tamurin Parliament with the lords in the upper chamber while the lower house was democratically elected. The parliamentarians of the lower house overruled the nobility quite often. Emperor Menelassar I died in 1888. His rule was regarded as harsh, but he had completely transformed Tamurin into a powerful, militaristic state.

His son, Menelassar II, succeeded him. He was far more liberal and had great respect for the elected lower chamber of parliament. To further improve relations, the Emperor introduced the position of Prime Minister who would take on centralized responsibility for leading the Government. Prior to the role, the Emperor had done that himself. This transferred foreign policy and control of the armed forces to his Prime Minister. Though Menelassar II was loved by the people, he was not by the nobles and was forced to resign in 1896 when the nobility and the Emperor got into a nasty political battle over the furtherance of democratic improvements sought by the lower chamber. His hardliner brother, Menelassar III, became Emperor after a one-month political standoff.

It was around the turn of the century where a wave of reactionary and totalitarian regimes existed. In response to his brother's complete reversal of both his and their grandfather's work, he withdrew from the House of Lords and ran for a seat in the democratically elected lower chamber, which greatly rose his reputation. At first, the nobles approved of Menelassar III's ways but once he took action upon the armed forces and the ranks of the aristocracy who disagreed with him, a civil war was inevitable. The bloody First Tamurin Civil War lasted from 1903-1911 which resulted in the collapse of the Empire of Tamurin and the creation of the Republic.

The initial years of the Republic, between 1912 and 1937, various social democratic parties governed the nation and tried to establish a system around the philosopher X (like karl marx). These attempts failed and the results were devastating. The economy was down, and the country was taken backward technologically. Centrist governments took hold and modernized into a top-level economic powerhouse from 1938 to 1967, at which point there was a student revolt and the more center-right Progressive took charge.

Civil war erupted once more in 2004 when the far-right Imperialists regrouped after remaining in hiding for many decades. It was a brief affair as nations from around the Orient rushed to the Republican banner. With their help, the Republic survived. Since the second civil conflict, Tamurin instituted a policy of 'Armed Neutrality' but despite this designation, the Republic does try to maintain as close ties as possible between the Oriental nations in Eastern Europa. In 2006, Tamurin became a founding member of the Entente of Oriental States.

Government

The President is the head of state who holds certain defined responsibilities concerning the government. The Presidency is currently held by Jurgen Brosch, a social democrat. It is the Prime Minister, who is traditionally the leader of the largest party in Parliament who is tasked with day-to-day affairs of state. Otto Krüger, chair of the Progressive Party (which is not as 'left-leaning' as others on Eurth), has maintained the position for the past three elections. Both men are Orientalists who prefer to maintain and further ties with the local region. Parliament is empowered to legislate and to tax. It has 210 members and coalitions are tight with little space for compromise across sides. The Socialist, Progressive, Conservatives, and Liberals make up the majority of the seats, with a small number possessed by the Greens and far-right isolationist party. There is an independent judiciary.

Geography

content dump

The United Republic of Tamurin is a medium-sized nation in the oriental east of Europa, located on a half-island. Its landscape is dominated by hills and forests and its climate is oceanic Mediterranean. Tamurin has only one short land border in the north, but a very long coastline. Tamurin consists of three regions: Tamurin in the centre, Ormpetarr in the south and Ormath in the north. Ormath was the former capital of Imperial Tamurin. Tamurin has also two island departments, Helgoland (north) and Fehmarn (south). The nation has a presidential democracy, meaning that the President and the Parliament are both directly elected by the people. Tamurin is decentralized and several local parliaments are dealing with local issues. The national parliament is only concerned with national issues.
