Terranihil, (Terranilian: Teraníl), officially the Republic of Terranihil (Terranilian: Freinnortán er Teraníl), is a country on the Northern Landmass of Terraconserva, bordering Greater Sacramento to the north and Malgax to the south. Occupying 740,900 square miles (1,941,000 sq km), it is a dry and mountainous nation with plains near the coasts. Guršaun is the capital and largest city. The population is near 54 million, composed almost entirely of ethnic Terranilians, except for a small Sacramatian and Malgan minority. The country is mostly irrelegious but has a significant Muslim and Christian population.

Terranihil is a unitary republic consisting of 15 governorates and is the only government that practices Virátism, based on the ideology of Žep Virát, the first chairman of the National Party for Progress (NPP). The NPP is the only legal party, exercising complete control over the government. The party espouses ethnic Terranilian nationalism and strict atheism.

The eastern shore of Terranihil was once part of the Ayreoshubic Kingdom, which collapsed about 6000 years ago. The collapse caused several tribes to migrate west into unsettled lands who then established small city-states. The city-states remained divided despite sharing a common language, culture and religion, until the spread of Christianity. The Christian Kingdom of Greater Guršaun was founded in 734 when many eastern tribes united because of their new faith. Pagans still outnumbered Christians, and in 802 several pagan tribes united into the Kingdom of Ezhodiget. Then in 890, the Terranilian Emirate was established after the spread of Islam. These three countries were at constant hostility, with none of them achieving significant gains against the others until the rise of Emir Ghor who led the Emirate in conquering Greater Guršaun and Ezhodiget in 1027.

Under the Terranilian Emirate, Islam spread to about half the population, while many remained Christian or Pagan. In 1381, the Emirate was overthrown by neopagans, beginning the Kingdom of Terranihil. The new rulers were oppresive to the Muslims and Christians at first, but their harshness dwindled over time. Then the Republic of Terranihil replaced the Kingdom in 1612. An Age of Knowledge began, leading to the spread of new philosophical and political theories. The supremacy of the Secular Party in 1817 is when most historians mark the end of the Age of Knowledge. The authoritarian Secularists held control until the Coup of 1870, which reestablished the republic.

The NPP began to rise in power in 1930 and gained complete control of the government in 1938. The party has prosecuted Muslims and Christians, whose populations have now decreased significantly. Dreichren Ermák has been serving as the seventh Chairman and 56th president since 2009.

Etymology

Teraníl most likely originates from the Old Terranilian words teza meaning refuge and ni'il meaning flat. The words then evolved into tera and níl. Combined, Teraníl means flat refuge, referring to the small expanse of plains near the city of Hinchivozh, the old capital of the Terranilian Emirate. The area may have served as a refuge from Mount Živaž, an active volcano near Hinchivozh, as well as from the dry and mountainous terrain. Terranihil is the anglicized version.
