Tyrellia (Tyrelian: Tyrelia), officially the Democratic Republic of Tyrelia, is a country in Anteria. It borders Foxomexra to the south, Nicakher to the north, and Ahia to the southwest. A country of coastal jungle, savannah, and deserts, Tyrelia is home to the Tyrelians, and well over 14+ Tyrel-adjacent culture groups as well as Foxomexran and Nicakherian minority groups. The capital and largest city is Sacilio, a port city built on an island bordering the sea, founded in the 900s.
The name "Tyrel" historically referred to the ruling House of Tyral, known as the Doges of Tyrelia, and also stems from the word "Tyr eli", meaning "Mahogany coast". Sacilio and the largest city Busali are among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. In the medieval era, Sacilio was the seat of the Republic of Vanoa and a provincial capital of the Principality of Tyrel.
The modern Tyrelian state was established in the late-20th century after centuries of rule under the republics, starting from the Serene Republic of Tyrelia (1300) to the short-lived Sixth Republic of Tyrellia (1974-89). During that time, a rampant economic crisis and housing bubble implosion caused runaway inflation, mass unemployment and general discontent; the Sixth Republic's failed attempts at stemming the recession only intensified the economic crisis, culminating in the Food Stamp Revolution.
The revolution stemmed from a food-stamp policy; unemployed citizens often relied on meagre food rations garnered from stamps and coupons to feed their families and a steady drop in the quality of the crops caused more discontent. On May 23rd, 1989, a food line in the city of Sacilio inadvertently caused a riot when the civil servants providing the grain ran out of stock; the riot devolved into a city-wide epidemic of looting, arson and vandalism. Shortly after, military forces dispatched to quell the unrest rose up too in revolt over inadequate pay and harsh treatment. Soon enough a military coalition led by the Workers' Party of Tyrellia deposed the government in the early hours of May 25th, arresting the then-Premier Nico Atagena and placing many more cabinet members under house arrest.
The post-revolution period was tumultuous, with many insurrections and coup attempts shaking the country from 1989 to 1991. The nation was under Emergency Law from 1989 to 1994, effectively suspending most constitutional protections and civil rights for citizens, until the Third Tyrelian National Workers' Congress convened and made the executive decision to suspend the Emergency Law.
The post-revolution administration has by and large extended a chokehold on the real-estate market and manufacturing industries, and continues to exercise strict control over the remaining conglomerate groups and industrial bases; while living standards are still amiable, income has dropped to around 16,000 Tymans per year, with upscaled military spending. Moderate internet censorship still occurs, mainly the censoring of pornographic content, attempted incitement of unrest, and posts criticizing the government.
