tarkistan

Tarkistan is a fictional sovereign state located in a continental region characterized by diverse geography, including northern highlands, central plateaus, and southern river valleys with a western coastline. The capital and largest city is Kharin. The official language is Tarkian, with minority languages such as Sori and Lemia spoken in several regions. The population is multiethnic, with communities tracing long histories of agriculture, trade, and artisanal work.

The country is divided into several administrative regions and maintains a mixed climate, ranging from temperate highland to subtropical lowland. Tarkistan operates as a parliamentary republic. The president is the largely ceremonial head of state, while the prime minister serves as head of government and the cabinet sets policy. The unicameral People's Assembly holds legislative authority, and multiple parties participate in regular elections.

Its economy is mixed, with agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and services contributing to growth. Key exports include agricultural products, minerals, and light consumer goods. The currency is the Tarkistani dinar (TKD). Education is publicly funded, with a high literacy rate and several universities located in Kharin and other major cities.

Religious and cultural life is diverse, with Islam, Christianity, and indigenous traditions being prominent. Public life generally respects freedom of religion and expression. Tarkistan maintains a policy of linguistic and cultural preservation, supporting minority languages and traditions alongside Tarkian national identity.

Historically, Tarkistan developed as a loose federation of principalities. It gained independence in the mid-20th century following decolonization and established a constitutional framework in the 1960s. Since then it has undergone economic modernization and political reforms aimed at regional integration and stable governance.
