[other history shit here]
In the latter half of the 20th century, the country was wrought with political corruption and instability. Temay’s first-ever democratic elections, held in 1994, were overshadowed less than two years later by the 1996 Temay coup d’état, in which the democratically-elected Kúúlist government was overthrown by the country's national military.
Under General Soy Jeun-Nhao, Temay has moved towards a free-market economy. Under military rule, the economy and standard of living have improved considerably, though the country remains largely rural and underdeveloped. Critics of the regime have sought to bring attention to the country's poor human rights record, with strong limits on freedom of speech, assembly and religion, as well as suppression of political opponents.
Etymology
History
Humans are believed to have inhabited the Miralayan plateau since the late Paleolithic. The native inhabitants were largely displaced or subsumed by Tiengic-speaking immigrants from southern Parshita approximately 3000 years BP. According to native legend, the Temay people originated when a group of cloud-dwelling spirit beings consorted and bred with humans, which resulted in their banishment to the lands between the heavens and the earth.
During the White Mountain War, Balkist revolutionaries attempted the overthrow of the Temay monarchy. While this revolution was small and crushed relatively quickly, it exposed deep vulnerabilities in the fabric of Temay society. While the caste system had been officially abolished by royal decree in 1879, much of the country still operated under feudal conditions and could be described as little more than serfs. While they still devoted to the King, most felt no such loyalty to their noble landlords, and peasant revolts became ever more frequent. Despite opposition from the aristocracy, Dhathasang announced limited reforms in 1935 that would improve the standing of peasants in Temay society. While this had a positive effect as a whole, many of the newly freed peasants remained in abject poverty and grew increasingly radical as time moved on. In 1940, a peasant rebellion in Mdzrempod led to the massacre of the local lord and his entire family before it was eventually suppressed. Ethnic Ughmar in the south of the country, who had traditionally owned their own lands and felt little loyalty to the king, seized control of Jankud province with reputed assistance from Helsonia.
