Tardineanni Demographics
Tardineanni Provinces
The Empire is composed of 20 Provinces, a Capital District and two Semi-Autonomous Regions (it is important to distinguish the acronym AR which stands for Administrative Region and the acronym SAR, which stands for Semi-Autonomous Region). The Central or Imperial Administration is subdivided in 6 Administrative Regions, each responsible for a distinct part of the nation. Ramshuwanni AR (RAR), compromises a total area of 37,516 sq km and is home to 65.7 million citizens. Northern Central AR (NCAR), compromises a total area of 271,720 sq km and there lives 21.6 million people. Southern CAR, the most populous Administrative Region, has 354,108 sq km of total area and 68.4 million inhabitants. The Capital District (CD) has a single city of 11.3 million people and an area of 2,400 sq km. Trevisani AR (TAR), has a total area of 18,108 sq km and approximately 13,6 million citizens. Both Semi-Autonomous regions compromise an area of 4,716 sq km and at about 2.6 million inhabitants.

Tardineanni Population
(Population in each of the National Censuses, since the first in 1800)
Tardine's population growth is rapidly decreasing, after the baby boom from the 1990s to the 2000s. However, it is still expected by the government that the population grows from the current 183,356,997 (2021 Census) to 192,934,410 in the Census of 2031. The effects of the war and how it might affect the population variation have not been taken into account by the statisticians. It is expected that Tardine as a whole reaches its peak population by the 2070s or 2080s, with huge regional differences. The Ramshuwa Provinces are expected to reach peak population by the 2030s or 2040s. The northern and southwestern mainland provinces are expected to reach peak population by the 2040s or 2050s, with the Trevisan Provinces following closely behind (2050s or 2060s). Lastly, southeastern mainland and the Mardokash Province are expected to reach peak population by the 2070s or 2080s, with Kardenccia being the main responsible for its continuous population growth.

Tardineanni History - Part I
(Pre-history and Bronze Age)
1. PREHISTORY (100,000~5,000 BC)
Not much remains from the prehistorical period, as many artifacts and documents were lost to time. It is known that different peoples inhabited the region where nowadays Tardine is located from hundreds of thousands of years. How these peoples lived or interacted with each other is mostly unknown. However, from the year of 5,000 BC, there was an exponential increase on the data found by the archeologists, due to the creation of writing.
Along with the first cities, whose the oldest the archeologists claim to be Miccan (whose first records date from at about 3,200 BC), the first wars ensued place, leading to a period known as Warring City-States Period, during the period that ranges between early and mid Bronze Age.
2. BRONZE AGE (~3200-1269BC)
2.1 Warring City-States Period (~3200-1683BC)
In the area where nowadays is considered to be mainland Tardine, there were several cities constantly warring against each other. Few cities were able to impose their rule, although usually for a short span of time. A fair amount of autocratic governments existed during this tumultuous, yet small period and their relevance to Tardine’s history overall is well stablished by the historians.
Iukki’s Collective (3027-2890BC)
The Iukki’s Collective was a chiefdom that took place when the tribes of southern mainland Tardine united under a single ruler. It borders the transition between what is a state and what is not, which depends on the historian’s school. Due to some of the first cities in the region being founded by the Collective, it appears in this classification for its relevance.
Kingdom of Trantor (2784-2521BC)
The city-state of Trantor, whose citizens would much later found the city of Trantoria, was the first stablished kingdom in the region, and lasted for 263 years. It already had the concept of taxes, although its lack of written law might have been the cause of its demise. They waged war against nearby cities, holding at least three of them as vassals for a vast period.
Juggus I was the Kingdom’s founder and first ruler, his descendant, Anumi II, was the ultimately defeated King. Illian IV of Khalaj, one of the vassal city-states, conquered it after almost a year of sieging the city. It led to the creation of the Realm of Khalaj, with Illian IV becoming Queen Illian I of the Realm.
Realm of Khalaj (2520-2407BC)
The rule established by Queen Illian I, while being shorter spanned than the previous one, was innovative in many senses. The first records of a surname dates from the Realm’s existence period (circa 2500 BC, Jur den Abhur or Jur from/of Abhur – a royal scribe). Whether it was actually a simple patronymic surname instead of a toponymical surname is still up to debate. The primitive language did not have separate terms for the words from and of, which is the main cause of the debate.
While there is no hard evidence indicating the existence of a city or location named Abhur during the time, there is no evidence either of an individual named as Abhur, especially since it means abhor in the pre-trantorian (Trantoran) language. It may also indicate that the scribe known as Jur was of abhor, an expression commonly used during the Trantorian Empire to indicate that a person’s mood was constantly full of hatred. The large period separating both is the main reason this hypothesis is not well accepted.
When the cities under the Realm’s control rebelled against King Malru I, they were able to destroy the entire city of Kahlaj in a fire. It marked the end of the Realm of Kahlaj and the beginning of an age where no single city was able to establish themselves as the region’s house of power.
Trantor’s Destruction (~2100BC) & Foundation of New Trantor (1958BC)
The destruction of Trantor, as a city-state, took place during this time (around 2100BC) for unknown reasons. Historians speculate that it was due to a severe drought that forced the citizens to migrate towards other regions, namely known as the Trantorai (or from Trantor) people since then. After more than a century of migrating, in the year 1958BC, they re-colonized the ruins of Trantor, calling it Nuoha-Trantor (New-Trantor in proto-trantorian).
Dem’zur Kingdom (1928-1700BC) & Hakkai’s Campaigns (1700-1683BC)
The city-state of Dem’zur was the first to adopt written law in the region, known as the Codex of Hakkai, their ruler, at 1696BC. It is questioned whether Hakkai IX created it or based it off the Miccan’s Stone (found in 1877, Miccan City), which predates the Codex of Hakkai by at least 150 years. However, historians agree that the Codex helped the establishment of their domain over the region.
Hakkai IX feigned off nearby cities up to 1683BC when, with the conquest of Kiema - the last resisting city-state, he proclaimed the foundation of the Dem’zur Empire, marking the end of the Warring City-States period.
