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.
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.
