Tarper, officially the Federal Republic of Tarper and reffered to by historians as the Third Republic of Tarper, is a federal parliamentary constitutional republic. It is made up of 12 constituent states, covers an area of 643,801 square kilometers, and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. Tarper contains about 82 million inhabitants. Tarper's capital and largest city is Terraum, while its largest conurbation is the Great River Valley Area in Whylsental The country's other major cities are Citrone and Bergfeld

The Ancient Tarperti tribes have inhabited the eastern parts of modern Tarper since classical antiquity. A region named Tarepere was documented before 100 BCE. Though the migration period for the Ancient Tarperti is known to be much earlier. In the middle of the 12th century, Tarperti territories formed a central part of the Platesan Empire. During the 14th and half of the 15th centuries, Tarper and the rest of the empire became the center of the War of Froistonian Aggression/Expulsion or 130 years war and the Astran War of Succession. In 1848 the 1848 Revolutions took place and the Platesan Imperator was executed and the empire was made into a parliamentary confederation. In 1885 the Grand Nationalist Revolutions went on until the Dissolution Treaty in 1890, thus beginning the Decade of Many Kingdoms.

In 1901, Tarper became a nation state when most of the Tarperti states unified into the Astran-dominated, United Kingdoms of Tarper. After World War I and the First Civil War of 1912-1914, the Kingdom was replaced by the Confederation of Tarperti Communist Republics. The nation fought valiantly in World War II and brought post-war prosperity. In 1960 leader of the Communist Party was elected, got rid of term limits and became the dictator of the CTCR. After a period of increasing transparency and economic disparity the CTCR suffered another coup and in 1991 was dissolved. The establishment of the fascist / ultra-capitalist Republic of Tarper brought the start of a Second Civil War between the South and the North in the year 2000. After a brief period of reconstruction, the modern Tarperti state was founded.

In the 21st century, Tarper is a great power both economically and politically. Tarper is a developed country with a very high standard of living sustained by a skilled and productive society. It upholds a social security and universal health care system, environmental protection, and a tuition-free university education.

Tarper was a founding member of the Regional Confederation of Covenant in 2016. Tarper is also a member of the Tarper-Plamyadia Union and the Tarperdrome.

Etymology

The word Tarper derives from the Latin Tarepere, which came into use after an emperor adopted it for the area that encompasses modern Tarper. The word Tarepere does not mean anything and was only a name the Emperor had come up with. I the late 1800's some poets created a romantic name for Tarper, Justinata, after the first Imperator of the Platesan Empire. Justinata did not stick but has had a resurgence due to Government sponsorship of the arts.

Rail Transport

Tarper operates a nationalized passenger and cargo railway system. All railways are operated by the Ministry of Transport (MOT) under the Bureau for Railway Transport (BRT). Operations are further divided onto the statuatory corporations, the Federal Passenger Railway Corporation of Tarper (FedRail) and the Federal Stock, Goods, & General Freight Railway Corporation of Tarper (FedCargo). Both of these corporations act as subsidiaries of the Bureau for Railway Transport and are wholly owned by the Federal Government of Tarper.

The Federal Passenger Railway Corporation of Tarper conducts business under the name FedRail and further brands itself as a different company in each Tarperti state in order to keep up the illusion of choice. FedRail branding is only seen on trains that serve interstate and international routes.
