Tinten, is a constitutional democracy in the International Democratic Union. Located on the south-east side of the continent of, and neighbored by Drambenburg to the west and the Olympic Ocean to the east. Officially founded in 1801 after a coup overthrew the Kingdom of Tintenburg. Known for being an agricultural and manufacturing power house with a loud and colorful culture.
Geography
Tinten lies on the eastern coast of the continent of and is bordered to the west by Dramdenburg and to the east by the Olympic Ocean.
Climate
Most of Tinten has a temperate seasonal climate dominated by humid westerly winds. The climate is moderated by the South Olympic Drift, the northern extension of the Gulf Stream. This warmer water affects the areas bordering the South Olympic Ocean; consequently in the northwest and the north the climate is oceanic. Germany gets an average of 789 mm (31 in) of precipitation per year; there is no consistent dry season. Winters are cool and summers tend to be warm: temperatures can exceed 30 °C (86 °F).[101]
The west has a more continental climate: winters can be very cold and summers very warm, and longer rain periods can occur. Central and southern Tinten are transition regions which vary from moderately oceanic to continental. In addition to the maritime and continental climates are predominant in most of the country, the alpine regions in the extreme south and, to a lesser degree, some areas of the Northern Tinten Uplands have a mountain climate, with lower temperatures and more precipitation
Biodiversity
The territory of Tinten can be divided into two ecoregions: Southern mixed forests and Northeast shelf marine. As of 2010 the majority of Germany is covered by either arable land (34%) or forest and woodland (30.1%), while 13.4% consists of permanent pastures, and 11.8% is covered by settlements and streets.
Plants and animals include those generally common to Southern. Beeches, oaks, and other deciduous trees constitute one-third of the forests; conifers are increasing as a result of reforestation. Spruce and fir trees predominate in the upper mountains, while pine and larch are found in sandy soil. There are many species of ferns, flowers, fungi, and mosses. Wild animals include roe deer, wild boar, fox, badger and hare.
The Fulda National Zoo opened in 1948, and is partnered with over 600 other zoo's globally.
Foreign Relations and Military
Tinten has a network of 64 diplomatic missions abroad and maintains relations with more than 40 countries. Tinten has a strict anti-terrorism policy and will always offer aid against terrorists, even with non-allies. Tinten partners with Cadair in counter-terrorism attempts and is known to make preemptive strikes against terrorists threats.
Germany's military, the Bundeswehr, is organised into the Army, Marine, Air Force and Streitkräftebasis branches. In absolute terms, Tinten military expenditure is the 8th highest in the world. In 2018, military spending was at $49.5 billion, about 1.2% of the country's GDP.
As of 2017 the Bundeswehr employed roughly 465,000 service members, including about 9,000 volunteers. Reservists are available to the Armed Forces and participate in defence exercises and deployments abroad. Since 2001 women may serve in all functions of service without restriction. About 19,000 female soldiers are on active duty.
The President is the commander-in-chief of the Bundeswehr, regardless of peace or war.
Military service is compulsory for men at age 18, and conscripts serve two years of duty; conscientious objectors could instead opt for an equal length of Zivildienst (civilian service), or a six-year commitment to (voluntary) emergency services like a fire department or the Red Cross.
Controversies
In 1993 President Bernd Muller attempted to surrender the sovereignty of Tinten and merge with Drambenburg. The House of Parliament sided with the President, but nearly 89% of the people were against the merger with many riots and protests following. Cadair intervened on behalf of the people. The Cyllellau removed all Tinten heads of state and stabilized the government until the Tins voted in a new government.
Some conspiracy theorists believe that neither Cyllellau or Cadair actually released control of the nation, but continue to control Tinten as a puppet. Both countries, while close allies, deny any allegation of Cyllellau control.
