Tiperyn

Tiperyn (Tipsprek: 𐍄𐌹𐍀𐍃𐌻𐌰𐌽, tr. Tipslan, [ˈtipslɔːn]; : Goidelia), officially known as the Holy Tiperyn Realm (Tipsprek: 𐌷𐌹𐌻𐌻𐌹𐌺 𐍄𐌹𐍀𐍃𐌻𐌰𐌽𐍃𐌺 𐍂𐌾𐌺, tr. Hillik Tipslansk Ryk; Goidelic: Fhearainn Goidelianach Naofa), is a    off the western coast of Artemia on the Goidelia subcontinent. It includes seven duchies and nine principalities covering an area of 2,988,875 km2 and hosting a population of 296.1 million people on its mainland and 42 million in realm territories and dominions. Tiperyn's capital and largest metropolis is Ambrosia and other major cities include Malskrum, Rottum and St-Daniëlleparochie. Minority cultural centers include the Hawkreath  and Castleshire and  Darimh.

The original Tiperyn Realm was founded with the unification of seven duchies and nine principalities in 1345. The unification was codified within the Stalling Concordant signed at the end of the House Wars (1301-1345) between the rival princes of the island. The conflict saw the occupation of the majority of opposition duchies by House Highal of Tipslan. The duchy and principality governments were maintained for the sake of stability, although aggressive members of each noble house were executed or exiled. Princess Valentina II of Tipslan rose as the Empress of the Tiperyn Realm after her mother, Queen Valentina I of Tipslan, died in 1334. This monarch would only become the Holy Tiperyn Realm after the formation of the First Apostolic Church under Empress Valentina III and its foundation as the state religion in 1405.

The newly formed empire would grow to prominence as one of the most economically powerful nations in Artemia. As an island nation, Tiperyn was protected from many of the continental land wars that were waged across the channel, but had access to the world's oceans and important trade routes. At its peak in the 18th century, the Holy Tiperyn Realm's held multiple overseas dominions on all of the world's continents. These dominions included in Nasir (modern day northern Nasiri Aravania), colonies in modern day southern Koryeo, New Valentina, and SiWallqanqa and the settlement of Eureka in northern Hyberia. Tiperyn would lose most of its colonial possessions by the mid-19th century, but retains several small islands and Eureka and Realm Viceroyalties; Chimchag City as a Realm City; and Nasiri Aravania and Ellora as Realm Dominions.

In modern days, Tiperyn maintains exclusive control of the Tiperyn Isles with the exception of the archipelagic Airgialla off of its south western coast. Empress Aletta is the current monarch of Tiperyn and serves as the head of the First Apostolic Church. During peacetime, the state is largely in nature. However, during wartime, the powers of the lower princes and princesses are suspended by the monarch.

Etymology
The name "Tiperyn" is the equivalent of the Tipsprek word "Tipslan". Tiperyn is derived from two words:
 * The word Tiper, itself derived from the Old Tipsprek Tipslaner meaning "person from Tipslan."
 * The Old Tipsprek word feryne meaning "united."

Tipslan - meaning "furthest land" - was the word used by Frisii tribes to describe the Goidelia subcontinent, which the Anglii word Tipland is derived from. During the late 11th and early 12th century, Anglii, Frisii, and Saxon tribes invaded the Goidelic subcontinent, pushing the indigenous Goidelic kingdoms out of southern and eastern Goidelia.

The name Goidelia is the alternative name for the island that Tiperyn occupies, as well as the subcontinent that includes both Tiperyn and Airgiallan territory and the name used to describe a race of Goidelics originating in modern-day Tiperyn. Goidelia is derived from the  word Goídelc, which itself is derived from the proto-Goidelic word Guoidel meaning "pirate" or "raider." This term was originally an, originating during the 1st or 2nd century CE during the height of Gaulic raids of the western and northern Artemian coast.

Prehistory and antiquity
The Goidelia subcontinent is believed to have been sparsely populated by of the species ' between 850,000 and 900,000 years ago. Fossil records indicate that the first of the inhabited southern Goidelia as early as 32,000 years ago, although migration beyond the southern coast did not occur until 10,000 years ago when the  began to recede. At this time, Goidelia was connected to Artemia via a land bridge across what is now the Saint Canal due to lower sea levels. Geneticists suggest that the early indigenous human population were decedents of early modern humans from what is now Vallis and migrated to the subcontinent primarily via this land bridge and by boat.

Proto-Goidelic culture and language developed in Goidelia, influenced by the migration of continental tribes from 400 BCE. Ancient seafaring Guals speaking were the predominant civilization in southern Goidelia beginning at approximately 200 BCE. Gaulic tribes were responsible for much of the Goidelic presence in continental Artemia, notorious for raiding continental coastal settlements and founding permanent settlements. The largest of these settlements was founded in what is now northern Legantus during the 1st century BCE, although these Gauls were eventually pushed out of the area by competing Teutonic tribes by the 2nd century CE. Although the Gaels never fell a continental culture, due in part to its relative isolation on the Goidelia subcontinent, its culture eventually faded from prominence by 700 CE. Around this time, the Gauls were supplanted by and -speaking Goidelics.

Medieval times to Teutonic invasion (800-1150)
The rival matriarchal Brittanic and Goidelic tribes of Goidelia had evolved into a patchwork of kingdoms by 800 CE. These kingdoms were the progenitors to the modern Brittanic and Goidelic duchies and principalities of Tiperyn. These kingdoms retained much of the seafaring tradition of their Gaulic predecessors, settling the archipelago that now composes the Goidelic Republic of Airgialla. Between 900 CE to 1,000 CE, it is alleged that the Goidelic Pádraig sailed across the North Iapetus, landing in what is now modern Brigantica. He reported his findings to the High Queens and Kings of the Goidelic kingdoms, describing temperate, beautiful, and largely uninhabited landscapes - with the exception of sparse Algonquian tribes. Goidelic explorers and priests gradually plotted the coastline of eastern Brigantica, founding hill-forts along the coastline.

Goidelia fell subject to invasion by the Teutonic Angli and Frisii tribes of continental Artemia in 1080 CE. Over the course of the next 40 years, the Goidelic and Brittanic kingdoms of southern and eastern Goidelia were pushed west, supplanted by Angli and Frisii settlements. These settlements act as hubs of major Teutonic migration to Goidelia. The most significant of these settlements was founded in what is now known as Ambrosia Bay. These settlements would evolve into predominantly Frisii kindgoms in the south and east, and Anglii warriors moving north past the Izerhert mountain ranges. By 1150 CE, Goidelia's Goidelic population had been pushed into the island's western-most areas, coalescing under one Goidelic kingdom and one Brittanic queendom. Based on genetic research and writings found in the ruins of a Goidelic settlement in modern-day Airgialla, it is theorized High Queen Maeve displaced her kingdom to Brigantica following early Goidelic defeats at the hands of the Anglo-Frisii invasion, founding what would eventually become the state of Anderin. This accounts for the presence of indigenous Goidelics in northern Avalonia, as well as the disappearance of the original kingdoms of Airgialla during the 12th century.

Teutonic expansion and early clashes (1150-1300)
From the mid 12th century to the early 14th century, Goidelia was marked with the expansion of the Teutonic kingdoms, periodic war, and the formation of the Tipslansk and Anglic identities. Through this period, the Middle Tipsprek and Middle Anglic languages developed from their Teutonic progenitors. The Teutonic tribes gained practical control over the majority of Goidelia - with the exception of western Goidelic lands - and tensions boiled between the competing nobles leading up to the House Wars.

The Old Frisii migrants had unified into two major kingdoms: Tipslan and Wittenlan. Meanwhile, many of the Anglii migrants continued north, traversing the Izerhert Mountain Range into the largely uninhabited of northern Goidelia. The kingdom of Tipslan was the original Teutonic kingdom of Tiperyn founded by the ancestors of the Highal royal family in 1172, taking its namesake from the Frisii word Tipslan meaning "further land." Wittenlan was one of the earliest expansions of the newly established Tipslan east after a peace agreement was signed between House Highal and the Goidelic High Queen. The settlers in eastern Goidelia fractured from Tipslan in response to Tipslansk demands for tribute from the area's prosperous cattle ranchers and wheat farmers. The dissidents rallied around the wealthy Menward noble family, organizing an army composed of both peasant infantry and auxiliaries and noble cavalrymen and founding the kingdom of Wittenlan in 1255. At this time, the conflict between Tipslan and the Goidelics had de-escalated to minor border clashes and raids along the largely uncontrolled border regions. The wealthiest and most powerful of the noble families subordinate to House Highal had begun to boil with malcontent, but House Highal had attempted to maintain its control of the remainder of Tipslan territory by diminishing the role of the nobility in the standing military, appointing viceroys to manage village militias. However, this only further stewed discontent amongst Tipslan's western and northern reaches.

When Queen Falkou, the second queen of Tipslan, died in 1266, several noble families of the east and central areas of Goidelia revolted against House Highal. House Hathuward of Tytsjerkstera and House Eilulf of Idlerein challenged the authority of the Highal family over Tipslan. Over the following decades, Tipslan solidified its control of southern Goidelia, quickly seizing ports and major farmland on the periphery of its territory. Princess Valentina, being the oldest female child of Queen Falkou—aside her two sisters and three brothers—ascended to the throne. Valentina I was crowned the Queen of Tipslan in 1266 after a brief period of leadership by Prince Gerrit - the husband of Queen Falkou. By 1261, House Hathuward had incited an open rebellion. Across Tytsjerkstera, barracks housing militamen were torched and soldiers were ambushed as they ate and bathed. The tributary demands of Tipslan in the form of grain and men for House Highal's army had increased substantially when Tytsjerkstera cut off its supplies from Tipslan. With this, the lower nobility's support for House Highal diminished. Soon after, Tipslan was fully embroiled in war with Wittenlan.

Queen Valentina I was notorious for her pragmatism and brutality towards dissidents and rival noble houses. The year 1274 marked one of the most infamous acts in Tiperyn history, when Valentina I summoned leading members of the Hathuward and Eilulf noble houses to Ambrosia to discuss a resolution to the conflict between the houses. Upon receiving two princesses of House Hathuward and the crown prince of House Eilulf, Valentine I immediately ordered their execution. Concurrently to their visit, she had dispatched a force of 2,500 men to ride to the Eilulf's seat in Nijboarn and raid the city. Tipslan cavalry, supported by nearly 600 militiamen that joined along the march, entered Nijboarn on 17 August 1274 and razed the city to the ground, killing between 5,000 and 10,000 people and executing the leading members of House Eilulf. After the battle, Valentina I placed control of Idlerein under the authority of the loyal House Wilbrand—a spin-off family of House Highal—with Elisabeth Wilbrand becoming the first Duchess of Idlerein in 1280.

The dismantlement of House Eilulf and consolidation of power over Idlerein bought Tipslan two decades of relative peace before combat intensified in Tysjerkstera and Wittenlan. House Hathuward of the northwest submitted to Valentina I after the razing of Nijboarn, fearing raids against its relatively vulnerable seat at Mynherberch. Although Tipslan continued to delegate local governance to House Hathuward in the area now referred to as Tytsjerkstera, House Highal had regained its access to its rich mineral resources - particularly iron and copper. Meanwhile, the conflict against Wittenlan had ground to a stand still, with neither side able to reach a decisive victory. From 1278 to 1300, neither Wittenlan nor Tipslan instigated a battle, rather bidding their time for an advantageous time to attack. Expecting an imminent war to take the entirety of Goidelia, Valentina I drastically expanded the size of the Tipslaner and Idlereiner armies and implemented positions, offering positions of nobility to those who would serve as officers. During this period of peace, Valentina I discharged many soldiers hailing from Tytsjerkstera and deployed Tipslaner and Idlereiner soldiers to areas that had once been in rebellion to maintain authority. However, as the power of the Tipslan military grew, so to did its requirement for resources. Taxes demanded of Tipslan's periphery duchies increased every year from 1285 to 1300, as did the overbearing presence of Tipslan militiamen and knights.

In 1300, House Hathuward instigated an open rebellion against Queen Valentina I's reign once more. Although House Wilbrand of Idlerein stood loyal with Tipslan, six low noble families north of Idlerein and Tipslan splintered, forming principalities around the cities of Eastliryk, Hindelvega, Rotte, Buitenwoude, Malskurm and Steinsen. These rebellions and secession are now considered to be the beginning of the House Wars.

House Wars (1301-1333)
The House Wars were a series of conflicts between the Tipslan-Idlerein alliance against two rebellious duchies and six principalities, sometimes defined to include the campaigns conducted against the Goidelic kingdoms from 1333 to 1345. The "rebellious" states dubbed their partnership the Sovereign Alliance, alluding to each states' sovereignty as a nation and their independence from Tipslan's orbit. Lasting from 1301 to 1333, the Tipslan-led alliance fought a campaign of divide and conquer, first targeting the weakest principalities directly bordering Tipslan before engaging the larger duchies of Tytsjerkstera and Wittenlan. During the early years of the war, Tipslan fought on the defensive, protecting its eastern border from the Wittenlan threat whilst rushing to secure the vulnerable iron mines of southern Tytsjerkstera and Eastrein. The first major offensive to regain dominance its over rebellious tributaries began in 1312 with the invasion of the principalities and their destruction. By 1319, the rebellious noble families who commanded the six principalities were either captured, executed or forced to flee to Wittenlan or Tytsjerkstera. Valentina I replaced their reign with loyal noble families, crowning their reigning members as princesses and princes of the Tipslansk Ryk—a concept that had not existed previously—and granted them a mandate to rule over the principalities. The coronation of the six nobles occurred during the same ceremony in 1320 in the Tipslan capital of Ambrosia. Valentina's use of the term "Tipslansk Ryk" in her famous "Warrior Queen" speech was the first suggestion of a unified Tiperyn by the royal family. This was a stark contrast to the policy House Highal had enforced in the past, which was maintaining Tipslan's sphere of influence enveloping the less powerful tributary monarchs of the region. This foreshadowed the rise of the Tiperyn Realm at the war's end.

Tipslan set its sights on House Hathuward of Tytsjerkstera in 1321 after regaining strength from the campaign against the smaller principalities. Facing an inferior enemy force and already in control of its major iron mines, the Tipslan alliance—now aided by principality forces—invaded Tytsjerkstera, defeating House Hathuward by 1333. Tipslan invaded Wittenlan later that year, crossing the Ienheid River on 2 November and laying siege to the Wittenlan capital of Wineker on 29 November. Wittenlan capitulated to Tipslan forces once its food stores had expended on 4 March 1334, suffering approximately 40,000 civilian deaths due to starvation.

Like the principalities before them, the noble families that dominated Tytsjerkstera and Wittenlan were dismantled and replaced by the loyal House Reitsma and House Fisser respectively. Although unification of the continent would not come for another 12 years, the armies of the Tipslan-Idlerein alliance and the formerly rebellious Tystjerkstera and Wittenlan were unified and given the task of policing the recently conquered territory. Although the leading families of the rebellion had been jailed, executed, or exiled, sympathetic nobles remained in their social and political positions as they were not held responsible for the rebellions. Thus, discontent of the Tipslansk domination broiled and minor resistance persisted until unification in 1345.

Goidelic Campaign (1337-1345)
It is believed Queen Valentina I died on 1 September 1334 of pneumonia, although several records also report 6 September as her date of death. She was succeeded by her eldest daughter Valentina II (age 17). With the unification of the ethnically Tipslansk duchies and principalities, Valentina II turned her ambitions towards the Goidelic kingdoms and queendoms of the west which had remained unchallenged since 1150 and by that point loosely unified into a confederation to counter the Tipslansk threat. In 1337, Valentina II committed Tipslan's army to the largest campaign in its history. A force of nearly 90,000 Tipslan soldiers invaded the kingdoms of Poc'her and Rosraig. With both sides taking heavy losses initially, the campaign turned into a protracted war of attrition. Goidelic forces implemented guerilla tactics, ambushing columns of Tipslan soldiers as they traversed Rosraig's thick forest valleys. Tipslan forces besieged the Goidelic's major towns, including the Rosraig capital of An Clochan on island's western coast, and bombarded them into submission. The decisive battle was the Battle of Solas Canala, where Tipslan forces converged on a Goidelic force of nearly 15,000 that had retreated to the port city of Solas Canala, intending to escape by ship to the Airgialla archipelago. Once Goidelic forces had retreated into the city following the arrival of Tipslan forces, Tipslan alliance soldiers laid siege to the city while alliance ships blockaded the port and began a bombardment. Over the course of four months, two-thirds of the original 15,000-strong Goidelic force had died, as well as 34,000 of the city's inhabitants. The Goidelics officially capitulated on 9 September 1345, bringing an end to the Goidelic Campaign and consolidating House Highal's supremacy over the continent after nearly 90 years of discontinuous armed conflict.

Following the end of hostilities, House Highal had identified several well-connected families that were sympathetic to the Tipslan-Idlerein alliance during the campaign and bestowed upon them titles within the Tipslansk nobility. The old kingdoms and queendoms of the Goidelic Confederacy were dismantled, with large swaths of territory being placed under the administration of states encompassing the general areas of Poc'her, Darimh, and Rosraig.

To the north, the island's Anglic population had remained isolated north of the Izerhert Mountain Ranges and stayed out of the earlier House Wars as well as the Goidelic Campaign. Following a meeting of the Duchess Jane Willems of Hawkreath, Princess Victoria Hawtrey of Spencton, and Valentina II in November 1345, the Duchy of Hawkreath and Principality of Spencton agreed to peacefully join the Tipslan-led alliance shortly after the end of the Goidelic Campaign in exchange for access to the southern duchies' foodstuffs and iron, increased autonomy in comparison to the conquered territories, and the cessation of Tytsjerkstera city of Castleshire in the northwest to Hawkreath (from which most ordinary Tytsjerkstera citizens were expelled).

Queen Valentina II declared the founding of a Tipslansk Ryk, dubbed the Tiperyn Realm by the island's Anglic population. She ordered the convention of all of the Realm's duchesses, dukes, princes, and princesses at the Anglic enclave of Stallings in northern Tipslan. At the meeting, she laid out the pillars of the Realm, cementing Tipslan as the Grand Duchy of the Realm and declaring herself Empress of the Tiperyn Realm. The Stallings Concordant was signed on 5 December 1345, and serves as the founding document of Tiperyn.

Early post-unification (1345-1389)
Through the early years of the Tiperyn Realm, House Highal and the Grand Duchy of Tipslan consolidated power throughout the subcontinent. Prior to the Apostolicization of the early 15th century, the early Tiperyn Realm still acted as a confederacy rather than a true union with Tipslan and the monarch at the core of a network of allied states, vassals, and rivals. The Tipslan dominant realm persecuted families that had opposed them in the House Wars, suppressed Goidelic pagan practice and other minor sects of Christianity, and refused to change the purportedly unfair succession process laid down in the Stallings Concordant. By the early 1380s—less than 40 years after the establishment of the Realm—lines were drawn between the states that professed their loyalty to House Highal and those who fervently opposed the federal government's crackdowns and general policy in the Congress of Nobles.

Tipslan maintained a close relationship with its close ally of Idlerein to its west, which Valentina I had put under the administration of a spin-off family of House Highal. Under the rule of Valentina II, Idlerein was largely considered to be an equal partner to Tipslan in the new Tiperyn Realm. Hawkreath had been granted similar status as well as greater autonomy for its ethnically Anglic population. The cessation of Castleshire to Hawkreath as the end of the Goidelic Campaign had solidified the northern duchy's support for the newly crowned Empress Valentina II and brought with it the loyalty of the Principality of Spencton which that that time was largely a Hawkreath vassal. To the east, although not yet integrated into the Tiperyn Realm, Tipslan was also currying favor with the ethnically Noordelansk State of Kanaalbaken and Principality of Grootshaven which had remained neutral during both the House Wars and Goidelic Campaign, but had respected the Tipslan-Idlerein Alliance's blockade of the opposing states.

Meanwhile, unrest was brewing in several other states—primarily those who had to submit to Tipslan rule after opposing the power in Tiperyn's formative wars. Fervourwas particularly virulent in the ethnically Goidelic states of Darimh and Rosraig who were subject to persecution and suppression on the basis of ethnicity and their practice of Goidelic Paganism—a religion whose practice was seen as heretical and punishable by death in the new realm. The Duchy of Poc'her, which was mostly Brittanic rather than Goidelic (and thus physically resembling the Tipslansk population) and whose population primarily practiced Apostolicism and other smaller sects of Christianity was comparatively more docile. The nobility at the helm of Poc'her consistently professed their loyalty to the realm, while those of Darimh and Rosraig stoked the flames of discontent during the Congress of Nobles' annual meetings.

The Duchy of Tytsjerkstera and Wittenlan their vassal principalities in the heart of Tiperyn were similarly dissatisfied with the new union. The sole exception was the Principality of Buitenwoude which saw benefit in remaining loyal to the realm to escape the influence of Tytsjerkstera. Wittenlan and Tytsjerkstera were the principal belligerents fighting against the Tipslan-Idlerein Alliance during the House Wars. Although Tipslan had placed loyal families in charge of both states and dismantled their previous ruling families, the lower nobles and normal citizens of the states remained extremely resentful of what they saw as Tipslaner domination of the continent. Further, they were jealous of the Duchy of Hawkreath who they bordered, having been deprived of similar privileges that the Anglics had been given when the realm was formed. Tytsjerkstera was especially bitter over the loss of Castleshire, a major seaport and cultural center, to Hawkreath and the two powers occasionally clashed at their border. These skirmishes led to increased tensions, but would not escalate into full-blown conflict until the late 1380s.

Colonial empire (1540-1915)
Christianity had existed in Tiperyn since the migration of Anglii and Frisii tribes in the 11th century, but up until the 15th and 16th centuries had little influence on the Empress or her government.

Geography
Mainland Tiperyn has an area of 2,548,575 km2 (984,010 sq mi), occupying the majority of the Goidelia subcontinent in western Artemia. It only shares the subcontinent with Airgialla, which occupies an archipelago off of Tiperyn's southwestern coast. It lies between the Iapetus Ocean to the west and the Balearic Sea to the east.

Climate
Tiperyn is generally temperature with weak winters, cool temperatures, and heavy rainfall year-round in most of the country. Tiperyn has 6 distinct climate zones and can be split into three types of climate: temperate in the south and central areas,  in the mountainous regions and the very northernmost areas, and  in the northern areas. In the north the Izerhert Mountain Range casts a over the northern part of the country (primarily the duchies of Hawkreath and Wittenlan) blocking warm, wet air from the Gulf Stream flowing in from the southwest. As a result Tiperyn's the temperature gradient between Tiperyn's northermost areas and its center and south is fairly substantial during the winter months, although the northern subarctic areas are only marginally cooler by a factor of about 2°C on average in July. This is also affected by cold, dry Boreal currents flowing from the north which result the northeast areas of Tiperyn generally being colder and dryer than the northwest on average. Additionally, the eastern regions are Tiperyn are generally dryer than the west, due also to the warm, wet flow of the Gulf Stream from the southwest and west.

Some small pockets of warm-summer, humid continental (Dfb) climate also exist in Tiperyn's central interior, primarily in the foothills surrounding large mountain ranges south of the Izerhert Range. Meanwhile, subpolar oceanic (Cfc) forms a transition boundary travelling northwards separating the oceanic (Cfb) climate in the south and central areas from the subarctic (Dfc) and alpine (ET) of the north. Snowfall is even more common in these areas when compared to the southerly oceanic climate zones. The rarer dry summer subarctic (Dsc) climate type is present in small areas of the Izerhert Mountain Range. By contrast, Tiperyn's subarctic regions do not have a dry season.

The vast majority of Tiperyn's population lives in its oceanic climate zones, with only about 12 million people or about 4% of the population living in the subarctic region and negligible population in the alpine and tundra areas. The highest proportion of subarctic climate zone is in the duchies of Hawkreath and Wittelan and the principality of Spencton, although the majority of the population in all three states lives in oceanic climate.

Ecology
Being relatively isolated from the rest of Artemia, Tiperyn's flora and fauna are relatively distinct from its continental neighbors. The subcontinent's include the only extant  in Artemia, shielded from the mainland's competing placental mammals by the Balearic Sea.

Demography
Tiperyn had an estimated population of 296,180,979 as of 1 January 2019.

Language

 * See more: Tipsprek language, Anglic language

[[Image:Tiperyn Language Map.jpg|right|thumb|350px|105%

]]Approximately 69% of Tiperyn's population speaks Tipsprek as its first language, which also serves as the de facto national language. Historians believe that Tiperyn is where the developed, diverging from other continental  between the 7th and 10th centuries CE.

In addition, Tiperyn hosts a number of minority languages. Regional languages include Anglic, Goidelic, Noordelansk and Brittanic. Each of these four languages is the de facto language for seven of Tiperyn's 17 duchies and principalities. The majority of foreign languages spoken in Tiperyn are in its metropolitan centers, with Koryeoin being the largest minority population in the capital city of Ambrosia. Additionally, approximately 6,000,000 inhabitants of Grootshaven and Kanaalbaken on Tiperyn's eastern-most coast speak as a first language.

Anglic is spoken as a first language chiefly in northern Tiperyn's Duchy of Hawkreath and Principality of Spencton. It serves as the in most of the nation's major metropolitan areas due to its prevalence globally. Additionally, the majority of western Tiperyn's Goidelic population speak Goidelic or Brittanic as a first language. Both Goidelic and Brittanic are considered to be indigenous to western Tiperyn and the island chain of Airgialla, existing for centuries before the Teutonic migration to Tiperyn in the 1st century. It is in Tiperyn's Goidelic-dominant regions where Tipsprek and Anglic are least common as a first or second language.

Religion

 * See more: First Apostolic Church

Prior to the Teutonic invasions of the late 11th and early 12th centuries, Goidelic paganism's branches were the dominant religions of the Goidelia subcontinent—what now encompasses all of mainland Tiperyn. Its descendent are commonly, but covertly practiced by the majority of ethnically Goidelic citizens according to an international human rights monitor and is closely related to that practiced by the majority of Airgialla's and Prestonia's populations. However, the practice of Goidelic paganism is banned in Tiperyn. International bodies have estimated that approximately 8% of Tiperyn's population (23.7 million people) practices Goidelic paganism in secret.

Apostolicism, the doctrine of the First Apostolic Church, is the state religion with its practice being mandatory for all Tiperyn citizens born on the mainland or naturalized on the mainland. The Empress is the ceremonial head of the First Apostolic Church, although day-to-day operations are handled by the Primate who also acts as Archcardinal and chair of the Cabinet of Cardinals. The Church maintains a paramilitary force known as the Holy Guard, which grew out of the pre-Christianized Crown Guard. Although the Holy Guard serves the typical function of enforcing canonical law, it was originally found as an anti-coup body intended to balance out the Realm Guard regiments under control of the states following the Dukes' Rebellion of the 14th Century. Although the Realm Guard and federal branches of the military (such as the Realm Armada) swear loyalty to the monarch, the Holy Guard is considered to be the monarch's personal paramilitary organization.

Officially 97% of the Tiperyn population adheres to Apostolicism, the 3% being those adhering to foreign or dominion religions (Tiperyn nationals). However, when considering international estimates of covert Goidelic paganism practice, the figure is probably closer to 89% of the population (263.6 million people) practicing Apostolicism. Although all citizens are required to practice Apostolicism by attending mass and adhering to canonical law, not all nationals are required to and may privately practice other religions to the exclusion of Goidelic paganism. For example, Nasiri citizens—who are Tiperyn nationals, but do not have Tiperyn citizenship—are allowed to practice Islam privately throughout Tiperyn's mainland. Allowance for the public practice of approved national religions has gained some traction in major metropolitan centers of certain states, with Tiperyn's first mosque opening in downtown Castleshire, Hawkreath in 2018. Foreign nationals are also permitted to privately practice their religions, although public practice is common in cultural enclaves such as Koryeo-Town in downtown Ambrosia where the Holy Guard rarely patrols. However, both Tiperyn nationals and foreign nationals are subject to canonical law excluding those requiring piety. This includes the enforcement of moral crimes such as murder, cursing God or the monarch (considered to be God's hand and the descendent of Mary Magdalene, founder of the Church), and male homosexuality.

Government
The Holy Tiperyn Realm is a Apostolic   with Empress Aletta I acting as,  and Supreme Governor of the First Apostolic Church. Tiperyn has been ruled by House Highal since its inception in 1345 with a lineage hearkening back to the 9th century as the dominant family of the Duchy of Tipslan. The Stallings Concordant is Tiperyn's foundational document and lays out the general structure of the Tiperyn government, although the powers of the bodies contained within the structure are largely determined by the sitting Monarch and the lower nobility through the Congress of Nobles.

Tiperyn consists of seven duchies and nine principalities that are subordinate to the Empress and the Grand Duchy of Tipslan. Each division is ruled by a chief executive; typically duke/duchess or prince/princess either unrelated to House Highal or part of a spin-off branch of House Highal, with the exception of Tipslan whose Grand Duchess is also the Empress. Subordinate nobility must pledge their allegiance to the high crown and submit their individual armies to the nation during wartime, and the Empress maintains several armed bodies to guard against the threat of armed revolt from the lower nobility.

Monarch

 * Main article: Monarchy of Tiperyn

The Tiperyn carries the title of Empress/Emperor of the Holy Tiperyn Realm and acts as the nation's head of state and head of government. The monarch concurrently holds the title of Grand Duchess/Duke of Tipslan and acts as the Supreme Governor of the First Apostolic Church. Monarchs come exclusively from the Highal family - the only family with a claim to the Grand Duchy of Tipslan throne. As a, the succession process involves input from several actors, including the royal family, the noble families of the duchies and principalities, and the bishops of the First Apostolic Church.

The process of succession begins when declared by the Archcardinal of the First Apostolic Church that the ruling monarch has passed away or resigned their duties as Emperor or Empress. House Highal produces a list of from 1 to 10 candidates that are eligible for the throne based on the line of succession and who are approved by the Archcardinal of the First Apostolic Church and a majority of the church's Archbishops. The line of succession is, meaning female members of the royal family are first in line for the throne and males may only be eligible if there is no eligible female successor. Thus, succession cohorts of potential candidates for the throne universally come from the same gender when they are formed. This makes male monarchs rare in Tiperyn, with there only being three in its nearly 700 year history. Once the succession cohort is formed, the successor is elected by a cohort of electors derived from the populations of each duchy and principality and voting in line with the opinion of their lower noble rulers in the Congress of Nobles. This includes the Grand Duchy of Tipslan, whose opinion is given by the interim Grand Duchess or Duke of Tipslan—universally the first eligible successor. The process by which the duchy or principality decides which candidate has its vote varies from division to division. For example, the Duke/Duchess of Wittenlan has typically held sole decision-making authority in casting its vote for a successor, whereas the Archlord of the State of Kanaalbaken has based his or her decision upon a vote including a council of 100 respected, estate-owning members of the community. In the event of a tie, the Archbishops of the First Apostolic Church vote to decide the successor. Upon election, the new monarch is immediately granted all concurrent titles dependent on their position as Emperor or Empress. In practice, this election is considered to be a rubber stamp. As House Highal has decision-making authority over how many candidates it submits to the electors, since the 19th century it has only ever sent one candidate—the first in line to the throne. Further, the most populous duchies—Hawkreath and the south-easternly duchies—had traditionally voted in line with House Highal's customs and the vote of the interim Grand Duchess of Tipslan even when multiple candidates were considered.

Once in power, the monarch holds broad and significant executive powers. While in practice, the monarch has delegated daily governance to the Cabinet of Cardinals chaired by the Archcardinal, it has the authority to override decisions made by the ministries and unilaterally implement policy. In practice, the Empress has served as the face of the realm government and the First Apostolic Church, and has set the direction of the government for her cardinals to follow. The monarch appoints the Cabinet of Cardinals, who are then responsible with leading individual ministries. Additionally, the monarch chairs the Noble Congress, using it as a platform to mediate disputes between subordinate noble families, impose the royal family's outlook, and maintain Tiperyn's system of nobility. Additionally, the monarch uses it to maintain control of the Realm Guard, whose infantry, armor, air, and support regiments are subordinate to noble families and the governments of the duchies, principalities and states.

Although the monarch has been the Supreme Governor of the First Apostolic Church since the union of the realm and the church in 1540, the institution of the First Apostolic Church has traditionally been a on the monarch's power. The church is an institution with significant power and influence in Tiperyn society. The monarch derives much of their power from the support of the church, asserting the monarch has a to rule the Holy Realm. Additionally, the church maintains a large organization dubbed the Holy Guard (Tipsprek: Hilligeskyld). The organization, composed of over 1 million members, was founded in the late 17th century to counter a  carried out by a number of powerful duchies and their Realm Guard regiments. This organization pledges its allegiance to the Empress as the Supreme Governor of the church, but the church's bishops, archbishops and the Cardinal of Values hold practical control of the organization. Further, under certain circumstances, the church's Archbishops may convene at the request of the Archcardinal to pass a motion of no-confidence in the Empress' leadership as the Supreme Governor of the church. Although this has never happened, the body can remove the Empress from her position as the head of the church. Although this does not directly remove her from the throne, it is suggested that the monarch would abdicate, losing the support of the church.

As a result, every reigning monarch of Tiperyn has espoused values consistent with the First Apostolic Church and implemented policy friendly to the institution. This has included the persecution and suppression of Tiperyn's polytheistic Goidelic population, the expansion of the role of the Holy Guard as civil religious police, and the promotion of beliefs held by the church's most extreme leaders.

Cabinet of Cardinals
The Empress is the head of the Church and the Cabinet of Cardinals that lead Tiperyn's federal ministries. All Cardinals are appointed by the Empress, while the Archcardinal presides over the cabinet, acting as its head in absence of the Empress. Each ministry is responsible for a different sector of federal government, with subordinate Offices composing each primary ministry. The composition of the cabinet is as follows:

Administrative divisions
The Holy Realm of Tiperyn is divided into 22 administrative divisions subordinate to the royal government and varying in power. These include seven duchies, nine principalities, one state and three realm territories. An additional two realm dominions are part of the Realm, but are governed by local dominion governments. The Grand Duchy of Tipslan serves as the seat of the Holy Tiperyn Realm, with its Grand Duchess serving concurrently as the monarch of Tiperyn.

Duchies, principalities and states
The core constituent states of Tiperyn are its mainland duchies and principalities, all of which are located on mainland Goidelia. Although subordinate to the federal government of Tiperyn and subject to its rulings in many respects, these constituent states have a large degree of autonomy in their administration with the exception of the ethnically Goidelic duchies of Poc'her and Rosraig and the principality of Darimh in Tiperyn's west. Each constituent state is ruled by a lower noble from a noble family that has either sworn allegiance to House Highal or is a spin-off house. This is the case for the Duchies of Idlerein and Wittenlan who are ruled by families related to House Highal. Each state has one chief executive, typically holding the title of Duchess or Duke for duchies or Princess or Prince for principalities. There are two exceptions. First is the Grand Duchy of Tipslan, where the chief executive is titled the Grand Duchess or Duke and is also Tiperyn's monarch. The second is the State of Kanaalbaken, which is ruled by an Archlord.

The succession process varies from state to state. Generally, the succession process of the duchies and principalities mirrors that of Tiperyn, with matrilinear succession being the most common system. However, 4 states adhere to a system of absolute cognatic primogeniture whereby the eldest child of the monarch is favored regardless of gender. The State of Kanaalbaken is unique in that its succession is determined by an election every 10 years from a pool of powerful aristocrats from noble families. Only the wealthy and educated are permitted to vote in the election. The anomaly that is Kanaalbaken's political system was likely the result of relative isolation, cultural differences between the Noordelansk and the Tipslansk, and the relative late entry of the Noordelansk states into the Holy Realm when compared to the rest of the states.

Each state sends their chief executive as a representative on the Congress of Nobles, although a representative in line to the lower throne (or a designated officer in the case of Kanaalbaken) is typically sent during normal operation. The Congress serves as a forum for the states to discuss matters of inter-state policy and for the Empress, or her representative, to dictate federal policy to the states. The body serves the function of advising the Empress on state matters, as well as providing the Empress with a picture of states' opinions on policy. The states of Tiperyn are unique in the amount of autonomy they have within the federation. The lower noble families that administer duchies and principalities often marry into other families or foreign royal and aristocratic families. Although states no longer send envoys, consuls or ambassadors to foreign countries independent of the federal Holy Realm ambassador, states do send envoys between other states in a system that mirrors federal diplomacy abroad. However, Tiperyn is not a confederation and states are not sovereign despite the autonomy they enjoy. Although the federal government typically chooses to make concessions to the state to maintain order and keep the favor of the lower nobility who have considerable influence, the rulings of the Empress and the Cabinet of Cardinals legally overrule any state-level ruling.

Overseas territories
Tiperyn currently administers 5 overseas territories at 3 levels of autonomy. These levels are the Realm Dominion, Realm Viceroyalty, and Realm City.

Realm Dominions are semi-autonomous polities that are administered through local governance under terms laid out in Articles of Dominion and under the advice of a Governor-General. A Governor-General is a Realm Guard flag officer and member of the noble class appointed by the Empress to act as her representative to a Dominion. If a Dominion is the site of an active armed conflict, the Governor-General has enhanced powers in certain areas, such as national security, law enforcement and the military. Although officially Realm Dominions are considered to be permanent components of the Holy Realm, some scholars believe that the status has been used in the past as an intermediary between Viceroyalty status and full independence during Tiperyn's de-colonization period. This was the case for New Valentina and the Tiperyn part of Arroyo-Abeille. The states of Ellora and Nasiria are currently Realm Dominions, of which Nasiria had been a Viceroyalty until 1959.

Realm Viceroyalties are territories under the administration of the monarch through a Viceroy. Depending on the size and importance of the Viceroyalty, the Viceroy—also known as a Governor-General—is a flag officer in the Realm Guard and member of the noble class. Viceroys have a degree of freedom in the delegation or devolution of power to local governance, but unlike in Realm Dominions Viceroys are always the head of government of the Viceroyalty. The Richmond Islands and Eureka are Realm Viceroyalties. The majority of Tiperyn's colonial possessions, especially prior to decolonization in the 19th century, were Viceroyalties.

Realm Cities are cities under the administration of the monarch through a Mayor, appointed by the Empress, and a Colonel in the Realm Guard through a power-sharing agreement. Realm Cities can be independent of any Viceroyalty or Dominion, as is Chimchag City on the Koryeoin Peninsula. The city of Naser in Naseristan, as another example, is administered as a Realm City, but is technically subordinate to the Realm Dominion of Naseristan.

Foreign relations

Tiperyn maintains diplomatic relations with most countries in the world - with the exception of Airgialla - and is a leading member of the the North-South Concordant. Although its relative power has decreased from when it was a colonial power prior to the turn of the 20th century, it still maintains status in world affairs. Formal diplomatic relations are primarily maintained by the Ministry of Diplomacy headed by the Cardinal Diplomacy.

Military

 * Main article: Tiperyn Realm Defence

The Tiperyn Realm Defence are the military forces of the Holy Tiperyn Realm. It is divided into three main service branches, a paramilitary branch, and a branch. The primary service branches include the Realm Guard, Realm Armada, and Realm Aero Service. The paramilitary branch is the Holy Guard, which the Realm Defence shares joint command over with the First Apostolic Church. Lastly, the Crown Vigilance Corps is Tiperyn's federal gendamerie and is primarily implemented as police in the capital, government buildings, and as highway patrol. The Tiperyn Realm Defence is among the largest national militaries in the world, consisting of 1.04 million active duty, 1.54 million reserve duty, and 1.04 million paramilitary personnel.

The Realm Armada and Realm Aero Service are represented on the Cabinet of Cardinals by the highest ranking officer in each respective branch appointed by the Empress - the Cardinal of the Fleet and the Cardinal of the Aero Service respectively. These two branches are considered federal branches, drawing on the national population at large and being under the direct authority of the federal government and the monarch. Meanwhile, the Realm Guard is represented by the Cardinal of War who heads the Ministry of the Sword. Unlike the Cardinal of the Fleet or the Cardinal of the Aero Service, the Cardinal of War is a civilian position. Because individual Realm Guard regiments are formed, managed, and operated under the authority of individual duchy, principality, and state governments, the Cardinal of War coordinates the federalization of the Realm Guard and its operations. The Holy Guard and Crown Vigilance Corps are under the authority of the Ministry of Values. This Ministry is innately connected to the First Apostolic Church, and the two branches are charged with enforcing Apostolic law, deterring resistance against or seizure of the state, and enforce criminal law. The Holy Guard and Crown Vigilance Corps are composed entirely of paramilitary and reserve duty personnel respectively.

Each active service branch plays a different role in Tiperyn's defense strategy. The Realm Armada acts as Tiperyn's primary and  service branch. With a history steeped in a rich tradition as a naval colonial power, Tiperyn's navy has the most active duty personnel of any branch and is the one most often deployed in response to conflict or humanitarian needs. The Realm Armada consists of the High Seas Fleet, Fleet Auxiliary, Fleet Air Service and Fleet Marine Corps. Its non-nuclear supercarriers and amphibious assault ships allow for the rapid deployment of land and air forces. The Realm Defence concentrates the majority of its fixed-wing close air support capability into the Realm Armada, as its aircraft carrying capability makes it ideally suited for operations outside of its network of military bases and military partners. Because of its integration into the Realm Armada, the Fleet Marine Corps acts as Tiperyn's expeditionary ground force, supported directly by Realm Armada aircraft, helicopters and ships. Fleet Marines are typically the first Tiperyn soldiers deployed to combat zones, as was the case with the current Nasiri Aravania crisis.

By contrast, the Realm Guard is composed of regiments under the authority of duchy, principality and state governments that may be federalized by the realm government in times of crisis. As Realm Guard soldiers are recruited and assigned to units within their own province, the Realm Armada—which usually has strategic command over combat zones—has been hesitant to utilize Realm Guard units due to them being subordinate to other noble families. Federalization of Realm Guard reserves is also politically costly, while the utilization of the Realm Armada and its marine corps is comparatively easier due to it being an federal branch. However, some units, such as Hawkreath's Mountaineer Regiments, have proven themselves to be aptly suited for the geography currently being fought in by the Realm Defence—particularly the mountains of south Nasiria.

The Realm Aero Service typically does not participate in tactical operations, by contrast. It possesses a modest strategic bombing fleet, but it has gradually been relegated from Tiperyn's primary air service from the 1910s to the 1960s to airlift, bombing, and surveillance. It coordinates with the Realm Armada in the defense of Tiperyn's homeland air space, with 22 air bases stationing 300 Realm Aero Service interceptors. Additionally, since the turn of the 21st century, the Aero Service has assumed more responsibilities with regards to space. The Aero Service absorbed Tiperyn's exploratory and research-based space agency, becoming a driving force in the Concordant Cosmological Mission. Further, the Aero Service is responsible for the maintenance and delivery of 70% of Tiperyn's nuclear arsenal (via medium- to long-range ballistic missiles and bombers), while the Realm Armada is responsible for the remaining 30% (via ballistic missile submarines and carrier-capable interdictor aircraft).

Economy
The Tiperyn economy is the third largest in the world and second largest in Artemia with a gross domestic product (PPP) of $5.4 trillion in 2020. Tiperyn is considered a great economic power with a burgeoning service sector economy gradually supplanting a strong export economy based on manufactured goods, raw materials, automobiles, and aerospace components. Tiperyn is a middle-income country with a nascent middle class that has formed as result of state investment in high-skill vocational education and critical infrastructure, the growth of middle- and high-income industries, diversification, and boosts to the production of consumer goods for domestic consumption. Over the past 10 years, Tiperyn's real gross domestic production growth has averaged at 5.2%, owing primarily to action in these areas.

Tiperyn's burgeoning service sector economy has been bolstered by a rapid expansion of its metropolitan areas—particularly in the southeast duchies and Hawkreath—and middle class. Services surpassed industry as Tiperyn's largest sector for the first time in 1998, with its largest service industries being health care, financial services, housing, transport and education. With the rise of the middle class and bloating of the upper class, luxury goods spending has ballooned in kind since the 1980s. Manufacturing still forms the backbone of Tiperyn's exports, however, with aircraft, automobile, parts, and farming equipment manufacturing being among its highest valued exports. Construction services have also grown substantially over the past several decades, supported both by rapid domestic urbanization as well as foreign infrastructure projects, such as the North-South Concordant-backed project to construct a freight navigable canal and high-speed rail network through Albaterra and SiWallqanqa to open up previously inaccessible markets. The extraction of raw materials brings in less income, with central Tiperyn mining communities extracting an excess of iron, brown coal, copper and lithium. Much of the brown coal in particular is used to feed Tiperyn's power grid, while iron, copper, and lithium—in addition to being heavily exported—feed domestic industry. Agriculture is a relatively insignificant sector in the Tiperyn economy, with large-scale industrial agriculture confined mostly to the western Goidelic-dominant states of Rosraig, Poc'her and Darimh. The exception is cattle, with there being a handful of factory farms and large cattle ranch spread throughout the ethnically Tipslansk regions. Tiperyn is a net importer of foodstuffs.

Many of Tiperyn's industries are state-owned or partially state-owned. Sectors that are viewed to be vital to the nation, such as health care, education, utilities, energy, mining, housing management, and defence are almost entirely state-owned. Meanwhile, major exporters, such as Ares Aerospace and Oermakt are privately administered but partially stated-owned with a non-controlling stake, the official rationale being that significant state investment may insulate these manufacturers from volatile markets and allow them to take greater risk. Small cottage industries and family-owned businesses have historically been private ventures, although in all but remote rural areas they often have to compete with state-owned enterprises (such as public groceries) that sometimes engage in predatory pricing practices. In recent years, however, a wave of privatization has swept through some industries, while completely new private industries have arisen as the Tiperyn government has sought to diversify, encourage investment and convert its economy from low-middle income to high-income in the long-term. The largest example of this privatization was the construction sector where the ban on privately-owned construction firms was lifted in 2004, although a number of state-owned construction firms still operate (primarily in the states of Tipslan and Idlerein). Further, along with Tiperyn's rapid economic expansion following the stagnation of the interwar and Kesh War periods came a nascent financial services industry which is now one of the largest in the North-South Concordant (albeit dwarfed by equivalent the equivalent Legantine sector).

Poverty overall has fallen in Tiperyn by about 30% since 1980, although income inequality remains rampant and over half of Tiperyn citizens make under $10,000 per year. Estimations of Tiperyn's potential economic growth in certain areas such as Tipslan, Idlerein and Hawkreath are positive, especially given Tiperyn's youth bulge—a result of declining infant mortality rates—a relatively low dependency ratio, and consistent government investment in critical infrastructure and new business in these areas. However, the threat of civil unrest of its western regions, institutional discrimination, income inequality, and the dominance of other western Artemian states in sectors the Tiperyn government has been seeking to push itself into are considered to be significant barriers to growth.

Class and income inequality
The lower class, defined as individuals making an annual income below $10,000, is the largest class in Tiperyn at about 169 million people, or 57% of the population. However, Tiperyn also has a sizeable and growing middle class. When defined as an annual individual income of between $10,000 and $60,000, approximately 115 million citizens—or about 39% of the population—were middle class as of 2020. This was a nearly 50% increase when adjusted for population growth compared to 1980. However, Tiperyn's income inequality is among the most pronounced and persistent cases in Artemia and the world. It has the highest level of income out of the three founding NSC states—Tiperyn, Koryeo and Agrana y Griegro with a of 52.8. In 2020, the bottom 20% only held 3% of the nation's wealth at an average annual income of $2,720 per person while the top 20% held 61% for an average annual income of $55,297. The top 1% meanwhile held 40% of the nation's wealth, translated to average annual incomes of $725,200. Although inequality is a pervasive issue throughout the country, there are two significant income divides: that between rural and urban areas and that between ethnically Tipslansk or Anglic areas and ethnically Goidelic areas.

While nationally 57% of the population is lower class, this figure is as high as 80% in the largely Goidelic duchies of western Tiperyn. Of Tiperyn's 169 million lower class, 13% are Goidelic despite being only 8% of the national population. Further Goidelics make up approximately a quarter of the bottom 25% of incomes. Upward socio-economic mobility is comparatively poor for the Goidelic population. There are strict and limited quotas placed on the number of Goidelics that can enter university and areas which Goidelic citizens are confined to through housing segregation are comparatively underdeveloped. The largest industry in the Duchy of Rosraig, for example, is agriculture, which is the smallest sector of the Tiperyn economy, one of its least profitable and one in which it is a net importer. Further, Goidelic duchies have little in the way of autonomy as their administration is carried out directly by the Empress and her cabinet as their ruling noble families either abdicated or were exiled in the late 16th century following the First Goidelic Seccession. Meanwhile, ethnically Tipslansk and Anglic areas have seen far higher levels of investment and upward mobility—particularly areas in and around the metropolitan areas of the southern Tipslansk duchies and Hawkreath. This has garnered harsh criticism internationally as evidence of Tiperyn's deep institutional racism and is among of the primary causes of the ongoing Goidelic Insurrection.

Exports
Tiperyn's highest value exports are its manufactured goods. Topping the list is aircraft, with Ares Aerospace being the country's largest single exporter. Following in manufacturing exports is automobile manufacturing (Oermakt being the largest exporter in this sector), vehicle parts, farming equipment, and integrated circuits. Shipbuilding is also a significant heavy industry, although this sector has declined over the past 2 decades. In the way of primary sector goods (raw materials), Tiperyn is a net exporter of iron, lignite (brown coal), copper, and lithium although these are lower value when compared to the country's manufactured goods. Tiperyn also exports natural gas and refined petroleum, although it is a net importer of these goods. Overall Tiperyn is a net exporter of a handful of agricultural products, including potatoes, certain engineered corn species, sugar beet, meats and dairy product. However, by and large Tiperyn is a net importer of agricultural products and foodstuffs.

Imports
Due to its size and economic activity, Tiperyn is among the world's largest importers rivalled in this metric primarily by other large economies such as Legantus and Koryeo. Tiperyn trades in the open global market generally, although it imposes relatively heavy tariffs on imports from League of Free Nations member states as well as certain members of the Pan-Artemian Coalition and ECOSEAS. It maintains preferential trade agreements and tariff rates with all member states of the North-South Concordant, many of these deals and rates being facilitated or mediated by the North-South Concordant Consortium (NSCC). This body also mediates and facilitates deal with non-member state associates. The most notable example is the shipbuilding import and export relationship between Tiperyn and Chezzetcook, a neutral NSCC associate, which was largely negotiated through the NSCC at various points in time.

Tiperyn is a major importer of oil, foodstuffs, intermediate manufactured goods, certain minerals, and mining products. Although Tiperyn does harvest significant amounts of natural gas from its offshore gas fields off its western shoreline, the country has also been a net importer of natural gas since 2001. This has been due to population growth, uncertainty stemming from its dispute with Airgialla over economic exclusivity over said fields, and a string of largely failed exploration attempts. Oil imports have also increased dramatically since the 1980s to meet increased domestic demand, largely sparked by the rapid expansion of Tiperyn's middle class and major investment into road infrastructure. Most of its oil and gas imports originate from its Realm Dominions—semi-autonomous protectorates—with Tiperyn energy companies having massive presences in these countries. The most significant example is Nasiria, a Realm Dominion in North Kesh that derives the majority of its export income from oil and gas. Jungastia is also a major energy trade partner with Tiperyn, with the latter importing large amounts of oil and gas from Jungastian firm Petrostado.

In terms of raw materials, Tiperyn imports significant amounts of aluminium, uranium, lithium, precious metals, gems and silica. Uranium imports from Koryeo in particular have grown substantially with the opening and planned opening of several new nuclear power plants to supplement and eventually replace Tiperyn's power supply which is currently heavily reliant on its brown coal power plants.
