The Grand Sultanate of Tusis, commonly known as Tusis (tu·sis; pronounced /tu:sɪs:/ or too·sis), is a country located in Alharu on Eurth. The country has a Csa climate, allowing for pleasant temperatures all year round. Tusis's neighbors consist of Florentia in the west, Cashar and Hemahat in the south, and Verde and Per-Aten in the north. With a population of 34.1 million, it's the most populous country in mainland West Alharu. The Sultan and his Viziers convene in the capital city, Tusis, to discuss matters of the state.
Tusis is an absolute monarchy comprised of 6 federal states ruled by Viziers. The Viziers control absolutely over their states besides the payment for public services, which decisions are granted to the sultan. Both the Viziers and the Sultan are determined by a patriarchal succession that forces the eldest living child to the previous ruler all the land that the previous ruler had. If a child from the previous ruler cannot be produced, the throne is given to the eldest male house member. The country is known for rampant corruption, economic disparity from the ruling families to the rest of the people, and the instability of the state. Yet, there is hope that with the end of the Tusisian Civil War that the nation will grow into a modern nation. The country is governed by the sultan Tawfiq Naji al-Utica.
Tusis was first settled by the Azano-Marenesian peoples 8,000 years ago. By the 3rd century BCE, the Semitic people known as the Suurs migrated from the northern Alhurun region to the western coast, founding the city of Tusis. Tusis has had three cultural reformations; the Settler Period (3rd century BCE – 1st century BCE)- the settlement of the coastal areas by Suurs; the Dark Age (345 CE- 987 CE)- the migration of Berbers, who are the dominant culture in Western Alharu; and the Tijara Period (1100 CE-1350 CE)- the conversion to Salam through trade. By the end of the Qabl Period (1500-1797), Tusis were weakened through the advancements of naval technology and rising empires. This led to 165 years under colonial rule; there is still a religious and ethnic minority from these lands. After gaining independence in 1962 with a socialist revolution, the country has been plagued with instability, human rights offenses, and corruption. The most bloody and recent was the Tusisian Civil War, which lasted 11 years. Today, people are hopeful for the future of Tusis with the ending of the war and the increased funding for infrastructure projects.
Tusis is a fledgling nation with much promise through its massive population. The country is known for its experienced sailors, fresh seafood, and the Tusisian elephants that roam the countryside. Although their main exports don't provide much wealth, economists suggest that this will help influence the government to invest in the industry, building a prosperous modern economy.
Etymology
The name, Tusis, has an unclear origin. The Suurs built the Tusis City (the first recorded use of the name), yet Tusis has no clear relation to the Suur language. Main theories suggest a leader of the first settlers of Tusis named it after himself, but there is no evidence of it. This has caused speculation that the word Tusis may originate from people who inhabited the Tusisian area before the Suurs. It's thought that proto-Berber peoples lived in these lands before the Suurs, although there is little archeology to back that claim up, causing speculation of a lost culture.
While the name has an unknown origin, it was first documented around the 2nd to 1st century BCE, but evidence of settlement in the early 3rd century BCE has made it probable that the name is older.
To refer to this country, the government uses Tusis or Grand Sultanate of Tusis
