Tuanmali (IPA: /tua:n.ˈma.li/), officially the Independent Union of Tuanmali Republics, is a country located on the northeast coast of Boroso, bordered to the east by the Taanttu Gulf.
Etymology
History
The area of modern Tuanmali was inhabited primarily by Mwambans when the Tuanmali people arrived. Nomadic fishermen and sailors originating in Alpa, many Tuanmali dalar settled along the coast of northeast Boroso, starting around 1000 CE. After Bavkïrak took parts of modern-day Tuanmali in the 1400s, many dalar began moving south, settling along the coast and inland from Wīcos, which had previously been controlled by Mwambans. Jozon was founded by dalar at this time, growing from a small fishing village to an established port city over the next few centuries.
In the early 1700s, when the Bavkïrak empire began to collapse, Wīcos and the surrounding area became nominally independent. Dalar gained increasing political control in the city, though the population remained split between Mwamban humans, Bavkïr humans, and Tuanmali dalar. Then, in 1829, the city became subjugated again when the Mwamban Empire expanded into all of modern-day Tuanmali. Popular independence movements gathered steam in the late 1840s, led mainly by dalar as the region's human population had been depleted by the Mwamban army draft. In 1862, with the Mwamban Empire under external pressure from multiple fronts, the dalar-led movement retook Wīcos and Jozon, seizing a significant portion of the Mwamban fleet that had been stationed there.
Throughout the late 1800s, Tuanmali solidified power, establishing relationships with other post-Mwamban states and incorporating some into the federation. Tuanmali's modern borders were established with the 1921 annexation of Kīmi Kīmis We and Altūnwelēnīn.

Politics
Government
A very squabbly democracy. There's a million political parties, so it's coalitions and voting blocs all over the place. A prime minister, Kitse Dzene, theoretically runs the circus. There's also a president, Nebāb Cumiz. Fairly liberal.
Administrative divisions
Tuanmali is split into twenty-one semi-independent states that answer to a central government.

Demographics
Tuanmali is dominated by the dalar, who make up over 75% of the population. Most of the remaining quarter are humans. Approximately 650,000 Kavs and 49,000 Astalvi also live in Tuanmali, primarily in the large coastal cities. If any Vodholk live there, they are keeping a very low profile, presumably because they're dying of heatstroke.
Ethnic groups
The dalar in Tuanmali are primarily of the Tuanmali panethnic group. About a third of the dalar population are ethnically Tuanmalis, a quarter are Lorhan, and a sixth are Uunen. The other quarter of the population is made up of other, smaller groups, including some Sanmra who are recent immigrants.
Most humans in Sanmra are of Borosan heritage, mostly of Bavkïr and Mwamban origin.
Urbanisation
Language
The official languages of Tuanmali are Azen, spoken by most dalar and many humans, and Taara, spoken by about half of humans and smaller groups of dalar. Other widely-spoken languages include Mwamban (spoken primarily by humans), Lorhan (spoken by dalar), and Uunen (spoken by dalar).
Education
Healthcare
Religion
Most Tuanmali are Devotionist, but among dalar, syncretism with dalar kowut is common--specifically, the five-god form, with Jet being identified with the Unnamed God of kowut as the ultimate creator of the universe. Traditional Tuanmali kowut is noticeably different from the Sanmran version, focusing less on ancestor mediation and worship and more on the spirits that are believed to permeate all natural things, both living and inanimate. Humans generally follow a more "pure" form of Devotionism.
When Sanmran dalar began immigrating to Tuanmali in the 1900s, they brought with them Sanmran kowut, which has grown to mild popularity. Tuanmali practitioners of Sanmran kowut tend to be more strongly "religious" than Sanmrans, strictly observing holidays and practicing rituals that in Sanmra are generally only performed by the most devout and by temple priests and priestesses. In some areas, Sanmran kowut is viewed as something of a cult with an unhealthy fixation on death; some Tuanmali believers also place importance on proselytizing, which furthers the cult-like accusations.
