Tiwura, officially the Republic Of Tiwura , is a sovreign state located in norhern Bahia and northern Coius. It is bordered to the south by Yemet and to the west by TBD. It has a population of 59,123,024 and is the third most populous nation within Bahia. Tiwura is home to over 100 ethnic groups and over 100 languages, most predominant of which are Mwo, Gundaya, and Zamga. Its capital and largest city is Omamiri, one of Bahia's largest urban areas.

In its ancient history, Tiwura was one of the earliest lands of settlement for humans. Before the Bahian consolidation, Tiwura was home to thousands of villiages, with the coastal ones living off of trade with foreigners. After the rise of Irfan, Tiwura's western border would come under the rule of the Irfanic dominions, leading to fear among the villiages. Tiwura would adopt the Hourege system later than much of Bahia, but within a few hundred years the Kingdom Of Adilun would arise to become the region's most powerful city and bring many coastal villiages under its rule. Tiwura was once home to several houregic kingdoms throughout its long history, notable ones being the Rukimi and Obo kingdoms. These kingdoms would bring about wealth across Tiwura and make this wealth from participation in selling slaves from conquered villiages into the transvehemens slave trade.

Tiwura would eventually fall to the colonial empire of Estmere in the late 19th century. Estmere would establish the Colony of the Royal Coast and have its mineral and plant resources extracted until it gained independence in 1950. Since independence Tiwura would become a nation of turmoil, experiencing multiple coups and civil wars. In 1953 Obie Chinwe would take over control of the government. His policies would lead to the (war with Yemet) with Yemet in 1964, which would end in Tiwuran defeat. Chinwe himself would be assassinated in 1966 which led to a power vacuum that would spiral into the First Tiwuran Civil War. The war would end with the rise of Reese Okparro Ndulu, another military leader, who would retake the country from rebels. The Tiwura after the civil war was ridden with ethnic tensions that would arise in 1986 when Ndulu's successor, Alichie Uchey, initiated elections. These elections were extremely troubled and the winner would be Mwo nationalist Kibwe Chipo. Chipo's rule would culimate in the Second Tiwuran Civil War in 1989. During the war, thousands of Gundaya would be killed in the Gundaya massacres. At its end, Chipo would be ousted and replaced by Gundaya Mowiya Sekoni. Throughout the late 90s, Sekoni would take actions against the Mwo as part of what he called "justice through vengeance", mainly by arresting thousands on shaky charges. Sekoni would be forced out after mass riots and protests in 2002 and an election would be held in 2003, with the moderate Nicholas Chukwudi claiming victory. Tiwura after 2003 has been a more democratic nation, however, many Euclean leaders and experts claim Tiwura's election system is still deeply broken. Modern Tiwura also has been in conflict with small seccessionist groups in the west, in particular the Magadi region.

Etymology

Tiwura's name was chosen in 1947 by NIMORC member Salvador Jones. Jones claimed the name Tiwura was used by the Gundaya to describe the wealthy houregic empires, with the name Tiwura comes from the Gundaya words ti, meaning "of" and wura, meaning "golden". The name was agreed upon by NIMORC leaders in 1949 and was used in their independence protests. Upon independence, leaders agreed the name "Royal Coast" was not representative of the country, and that "Tiwura" was more suited to be the name of the newly independent nation.

History

Post-Independence

• NIMORC leader Derrick Clearmont becomes first president of Tiwura, quickly becomes unpopular among Bahians
• Horo rebellion in the west causes contempt worry across Tiwura about civil war
• Clearmont begins the Tiwuran Identity Initiative, a plan to supplant cultural differences in Tiwura and resist pan-Bahianism by creating a "Tiwuran identity"
• 1955, General Obie Chinwe leads a coup against Clearmont, claiming that Clearmont was weak on crime and enemies of Tiwura
• Chinwe openly talks about Mwo Nationalism as a good thing, and reforms the Identity Initiative, this time more akin to assimilation with Mwo society
• Late 50s, Pan-Bahianist movements arise in resistance to the rule of Chinwe
• 1958, Tiwuran and Obergonder troops engage in short skirmish on the border
• Pan-Bahianists and socialists accuse Chinwe of apathy towards Obergond's colonizer government
• 1963, the UBR expanding size worried Chinwe, more crackdowns on dissenters against his rule
• 1964, with Rwizikuru leaving the UBR and Yemet and Maucha disputing over Ibabochia, Chinwe fulfills the plan to take the !Ganda speaking regions of Yemet and Sud Magadi.
• June 1964, Tiwuran troops invade Yemet, initial victories until troops are bogged down in Lehir
• April 1966, Tiwuran troops fled across the border and Omamiri is threatened with attack, Chinwe surrenders and peace is made
• Mid 1966, Tiwuran generals, believing Chinwe a traitor and weak for his surrender, assassinate him, power vacuum opens with no successor chosen, multiple generals claim his role
• Civil war begins as socialists organize during the confusion into the Tiwuran Peoples' Union, military splits into 3 main factions
• Reese Okparro Ndulu's faction captures Omamiri in 1968, declares himself President officially and begins fighting back against TPU forces in the north and west
• 1971, Ndulu defeats the TPU and other rebel groups, declares victory and announcing he wants a rebirth for Tiwura

Postwar Period

• Reconstruction in the early 70s along with ethnic tensions rising due to the treatment of Gundayas in the Yemeti war
• Riots and protests against the return of the military dictatorship met with swift reaction, Ndulu also arrests Gundaya leaders on suspicion of supporting rebel forces during the civil war
• Oil industry is revived by 1978 as Tiwura focuses its resources into building it up
• Ndulu steps down in 1979 due to sickness and chooses Alichie Uchey to succeed him, Uchey is controversial due to him being accused of commanding Gundaya troops to their deaths in the war
• Economy stagnates in the early 80s as ethnic tensions continue to boil
• Uchey, believing it to be the only way out of another civil war, declares elections to be held 1986, but also bans any socialist parties beforehand
• Several ethnic parties are formed, military intimidates voters across the country to choose their preferred candidates
• Winner is Kibwe Chipo, a Mwo ultranationalist and adamant supporter of former president Chinwe

Chipo's Rule

• Chipo's rule is marked by almost immediate changed in government, all focused on increasing the status of the Mwo people and blaming the Gundaya for their loss in the Yemeti war
• Arrests, banning of all local government, and police raids across the nation within the first three years
• In mid 1989 Chipo initiated bans on Irfanic practices in the west, leading to immediate pushback
• Irfanist groups and Gundaya leaders would form an alliance in 1990, and from 1990 to 1991 the insurgency grew into a full-scale rebellion by groups that disliked Chipo
• By 1991, the war was stalled as the rebels received massive foreign support. Chipo's inner circle began to grow weary of him
• In 1992, as the war seemed more and more hopeless for the Tiwuran government, Chipo ordered 1/3 of the Tiwuran military to move to the northern front and launch aa massive offensive into Gundayaland. These forces were also sent with orders to massacre, leading to the Gundaya Massacres that killed thousands and burned thousands of homes in Gundayaland
• Rebels in the south pushed towards Omamiri, and Chipo is overthrown by his fellow generals who form a provisional council on deciding a new leader
• In 1995, Omamiri is captured and the government is ousted. Mowiya Sekoni, leader of the Gundaya faction in the Alliance Of Tiwuran Peoples, claims the presidency
• With no resistance, Sekoni quickly takes over
