How are Geilinorites viewed in Tsvarchi?

4,222 people identified as Geilinorite in the 2010 census.

In Tsvarchi they have a reputation as being serious, and a bit self-indulgent, but Tsvarchivans do not judge a whole group based on a few examples, and take each person as an individual.

Could you give some information on the nation's historic landmarks?

The Fortress is an ancient fortified city-state in Darkaan, and one of the many historical sites in the ancient city of Vakiria in northwestern Darkaan, adjacent to Tsvarchi National Park.

The Ancient Megaliths were a set of stone tombs which were used to store the remains of reigning monarchs. They are in central Atrulia.

The Temples of Tarak'i are a series of temples built in honor of HRH King Taraki' Darkaan, to show how much love the people had for him and his reign.

The Grand Megaliths are a series of ancient stone houses built in Estakuri.

The Xanthai Temple was the home of HSM Fuschakei Xanthaiyan, the greatest and most influential person in Tsvarchivan history. He taught the philsophy of Xanthaiyanism within its walls. Located in Taerak.

The Palace of Tarak was a palace consctructed by the people for HRH King Tarak'i, and is located in Taerak.

The Temple of Itzar is an intricate tomb built as a resting place of HRH King Itzar, and was completed five years after his death.

The Temple of Tsvarchi was an ancient community center located in Rikiyan. A lot of prostitution was present within its halls in the night.

The Tarak Hermitage was a Xanthaiyanist monastary built in the ancient village of Tarak.

The Grand Senate Tower was built as the meeting place of the Grand Senate, which is known in modern times as the Royal Legislature, in Taerak.

The Temple of the Free was known in history as the temple where Cuerakians were kept after the Triad Wars after annexation.

The Xanthai School was one of Tsvarchi's premiere schools of Xanthaiyanism.

The HaroszLimi School of Philosophy was an ancient school run by the philosopher Harousz Limi, but his teachings never caught on and he died a largely non-influential figure in Tsvarchivan history.

The Royal Tomb is now known as the Imperial Crypt, and is the underground chambers underneath the Royal Palace of Tsvarchi which holds the remains of some 1,344 monarchs.

The Tomb of Eti is another tomb built in the honor of a great monarch, HRH Queen Eti.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but many average Rhodians often wonder for politeness' sake, do your nation's citizens prefer being called Maraquean or Tsvarchivan by the international community?

Because of the rather large rivalry between residents of the city-state and residents of the city-state's overseas territories, it is very important to note that those residing within the city-state are Tsvarchivans, and those residing in the country, outside of the city-state, are Maraqueans. Technically you can refer to both groups as either one (as they share both Maraquean and Tsvarchivan citizenship), but it would be a grave mistake, as a Tsvarchivan would be very insulted if they were called Maraquean, and vice versa.

Another big difference between the two; Tsvarchivans don't wear clothes; Maraqueans do.

Thank you for the clarification; and thank you providing such an extensive factbook on your nation many portions of the Question & Answer Section have been adapted by the Ministry of Education to Rhodian social studies, World History, and World Cultures textbooks.

IC: Are there any Libeckians in Tsvarchi?. As the Libeckian diaspora numbers more than 25 million people(250% of the entire nations population.) we presume that many poor Libeckians would have tried their luck in Tsvarchi.
There are in fact 419 Libeckians in Tsvarchi, according to the 2010 census. They are mostly in Cuerak (201 total), followed by Rikiyan (67), Estakuri (42), Darkaan (40), Atrulia (38), Taerak (16), and Stahnasuk-Tizutri (15). The majority are employed in the tourism industry, with significant amounts employed in manufacturing and retail.

Interesting, we thought there would be more than 419, Anyway are there any prominent Libeckians in Tsvarchi?.(Politicians, CEO`s, billionaires, etc..)

I feel almost self indulging asking this, but anyway ...

When non-citizen permanent residents, citizen permanent residents, people of partial Libeckian ancestry, and undocumented Libeckian immigrants are counted the number is 6241. 419 is the number of Libeckians which consider themselves Libeckians, but are simply in Tsvarchi for a better life/opportunity, with hopes of returning to Libeck.

As of the 2010 census there were 9383 Izzyerians in Tsvarchi, which includes permanent residents (citizen and non-citizen), people of partial Izzyerian ancestry, Izzyerians in Tsvarchi long-term for any reason which may include economic or otherwise, etc.

Prince Philip is by far the most prominent Tsvarchivan of Izzyerian descent, and many hope he does in fact start a family with his boyfriend.

Does your Child King have a regent,and if he does, How much power does the regent have?

by **Maraque** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 2:13 pm

New Mushroom Kingdom wrote:Does your Child King have a regent,and if he does, How much power does the regent have?

The Prince Regent is more like a vice-president or deputy prime minister - that is, he serves no other purpose than to be there when the King is not able to assume his duties because of incapacitation or if he's off Tsvarchivan soil.

He has no actual authority until one of those two scenarios happen. His authority only extends to what the King himself has - no more, no less.

by **New Mushroom Kingdom** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 2:17 pm

Awesome! -- i dislike regents that allow the child king very little power--it hinders thier experience
