About Toutanglom:
Toutanglom is often described as a state built not on stone or steel, but on cells. Its biological tradition stretches back nearly five millennia - long enough that, in local lore, history itself is measured in generations of cultivated life. From its earliest records, the state's intellectual gravity has been drawn toward the smallest of actors: microorganisms. What began as observation gradually became mastery. Over centuries, Toutanglom learned not merely to coexist with microscopic life, but to guide it, shape it, and persuade it to act with intention.
This expertise would later earn the state an infamous reputation. Biological agents became weapons, feared and whispered about far beyond its borders. Yet the same techniques that devastated enemies also fed populations, reshaped landscapes, and restored ecosystems once thought irreversibly lost. Crops were accelerated, food production refined to unprecedented scales, and damaged environments coaxed back into fertility. In Toutanglom, creation and destruction were never opposing forces - they were parallel applications of the same knowledge.
Politically, Toutanglom rarely stood alone. For much of its history, it maintained a deep and enduring alliance with Draviskas, bound together by a shared fascination with biological science and its applications. Relations with Senas Tuath and Abern, however, were far less amicable. These tensions centered on the Sea of Song - a region whose waters were once shared freely, without borders or permanent claims. Around three thousand years ago, the sea functioned under an informal mutualistic arrangement, its islands drifting between influence rather than ownership.
Prosperity changed everything.
As the Sea of Song grew richer - economically, strategically, and symbolically - ambiguity gave way to ambition. Control replaced coexistence. Toutanglom, in particular, sought to consolidate authority over the entire maritime expanse. What followed was not a single war, but a slow accumulation of conflicts: islands seized and abandoned, alliances formed and fractured, treaties signed and quietly ignored. Many territories remained uninhabited or nominally neutral, serving as temporary buffers rather than solutions. Disputes multiplied, unresolved grievances stacked upon older ones, and the region slipped into a cycle of recurring violence.
Among the most destructive of these conflicts were the Great Pelagic Succession (-14, BCE), the War on Open Water (223), the Oceanic Coalition War (427), and the Blue Boundary War (625). Each left deep political scars, none fully erased by time.
These prolonged wars destabilized Toutanglom repeatedly from within. Regimes rose, fractured, and collapsed under the strain. The fall of the Toutanglom United Republic stands as a notable example: its dissolution marked the end of a unified political experiment, yet paradoxically produced a more centralized and militarized successor - one far better adapted to sustaining long-term warfare.
In the city of Trifulum rises the Solinum Tower, ascending more than three kilometers into the sky. Its silhouette defies rigidity, spiraling gently as it climbs, swelling and narrowing like a colossal stem or spinal column. The tower's exterior functions as a living membrane composed of three layers: a porous outer shell resembling a cell wall, internal structural ribs analogous to cartilage, and an inner vascular system. Vein-like patterns crawl across its surface, interrupted by soft ridges and luminous openings that pulse faintly at night, giving the tower an unmistakably alive presence.
At its summit rests a biological sun construct - not an emblem, but a radiant seed. This glowing nucleus functions as a photosynthetic organ, its organic rays extending outward like tendrils rather than spikes. The light it emits is warm and slow, expanding and contracting as though breathing. Internally, the tower is vertically stratified by function: public halls and water-entry systems occupy the lower levels; residential, research, and cultural spaces fill the middle; observation zones and sacred areas rise above; and the apex houses the light core, energy systems, and ritual chambers. Movement through the tower follows organic logic - vertical light shafts, helical routes, and capsule transports that drift through the structure like blood cells within a circulatory system.
For all its architectural elegance, Toutanglom never abandoned its capacity for violence. At its height, the state possessed one of the most extensive arsenals of biological weapons in recorded history, deployed repeatedly in warfare. At the same time, it maintained one of the world's largest food reserves. Through microbial engineering, processes that once required decades were completed in weeks without loss of quality. Fully artificial microorganisms were developed - many of which have since been released to the public domain - cementing Toutanglom's legacy as a civilization that reshaped life itself, for better and for worse.
Brief modern history:
I. THE TOUTANGLOM UNITED REPUBLIC AND THE CIVIL WAR (1166–1183)
The Toutanglom United Republic endured for nearly two centuries before collapsing into civil war in 1167 between two major factions: the Murrani (purple, South) and the Croci (yellow, North). Tension over political power had always lingered.
On 5 November 1166, leader Upsed Uhtavis Upsedis was assassinated by an unknown hitman. After four months of deadlock over succession, the Croci launched a coup, declared themselves rightful rulers, and sought to diminish Murrani influence. The Murrani established their own government in the South - civil war ensued.
The war lasted nearly two decades. Millions perished; over half of both regions' territory was devastated; several cities were completely wiped out. The war ended with Croci's defeat at the Battle of Pelsa (1183). Murrani emerged dominant.
II. THE LOUFIR (LOSS) AND THE MUTANMENUS (1183–1193)
Years of conflict left the republic in total ruin. Famine spread across the entire state; crime surged; homelessness reached catastrophic levels - the Loufir (Loss). Corpses accumulated in empty fields, forming "mountains of corpses" (Mutanmenus). The largest recorded Mutanmenus contained approximately 1,500 individuals.
The reconstruction initiative Toutiuf Recuprum repaired wartime damage and rebuilt trust. Biological research initiatives resumed, strengthened through cooperation with Draviskas.
III. HELIX-9 AND THE ZETA FLU (1193–1195)
In 1193, Helix-9 was completed - a rapidly spreading biological agent. Symptoms progressed from flu-like to throat decay, skin deterioration, blindness, bone erosion, and death within eight hours of the final stage. Natural immunity could develop.
On 15 and 23 January 1195, specially engineered birds carried Helix-9 across the Thauris border (unified Hleidisland, Raginheim, Morthen). The Zeta Flu pandemic caused Thauris's swift collapse. Effectiveness proven.
IV. THE MEITIUM TOUTS UPSANNOM AND THE FIFTH SEA OF SONG WAR (1199–1224)
1199: Meitium Touts Upsannom - national program to improve society and strengthen cultural identity. 1201–1205: Meim-Upsed-Planom improved logistics and transportation. 1204: Port construction began to rival Senas Tuath - setting stage for extended trade war.
On 27 June 1224, an explosion at Rakkiom Port destroyed half the facility. Certain of Senas Tuath's responsibility (denied), Toutanglom declared war four days later - the Fifth Sea of Song War. Lasted approximately two months. Three major and fifteen minor Senas Tuath ports were severely damaged; Vesklum and Befiu also heavily damaged on Toutanglom's side. Mutual free port operation agreed. Toutanglom's goal of destroying more than nineteen percent of Senas Tuath's ports failed.
V. THE GENETU PENTEROM ("THE ZOO") (1254)
On 1 January 1254, the Genetu Penterom - the largest biological facility ever constructed, developed over nearly three decades - officially entered operation. Central site for producing biological weapons. Exact location highly classified; general consensus suggested beneath the Central South sector.
VI. THE FIRST GREAT WAR OF ELDERVALE - TOUTANGLOM THEATRE (1272–1273)
On 11 March 1272, a massive fire broke out along the Abern-Toutanglom border. Abern declared war the next morning - the First Cross-Frontier War. The surprise attack forced Toutanglom to retreat. On 6 May, Senas Tuath joined the war. The southern front collapsed; the naval front deteriorated.
Toutanglom deployed incomplete biological agents (Ufaro-12, Meitas-03, Brutan-DY) via artificial flying animals. Within a week, enemy forces fell into disorder and panic.
Abern shifted to guerrilla warfare - hit-and-run attacks, ambushes, sabotage. Toutanglom struggled to eradicate Senas Tuath forces. On 25 December, Toutanglom tested a small autonomous flying device distributing Helix-11 (enhanced successor to Helix-9) - devastating pandemic destabilized both nations.
On 1 January 1273, a massive offensive was launched. Abern sought peace on 15 February. Treaty signed in Toutanglom's capital: substantial reparations, cession of ten percent of territory, strict non-aggression, Senas Tuath naval activity reduced to seventy percent below pre-war levels.
First recorded use of biological weapons on the battlefield. Victory elevated regional standing.
VII. THE COALITION AND THE FIRST NORTHERN DEFENSE WAR (1279–1280)
Toutanglom forged a defensive alliance with Draviskas and Raginheim (the "Coalition") - united less by mutual trust than shared apprehension of Hleidisland.
Open war erupted on 7 November 1279. Coalition internal divisions - distrust, poor coordination, conflicting priorities - resulted in repeated failures. Biological agents proved ineffective against Hleidisland's disease-prevention expertise. Treiktur fell on 3 June; Ulkanim on 6 June.
Battle of the Saprissa River (12 June – 4 November 1280) - Tanglomi defensive victory at catastrophic manpower cost. Toutanglom accepted defeat. Peace treaty forced cession of eight percent of remaining territory and massive reparations.
VIII. THE TSFU COUP AND THE SECOND NORTHERN DEFENSE WAR (1280–1282)
Double defeat provoked condemnation of leadership. Karris Veltiom was deposed. Internal Murrani clan divisions erupted. Separatist movements surged in formerly annexed territories - regions swiftly rejoined Abern and Senas Tuath.
Northern provinces rose in revolt, nearly igniting a second civil war. The clandestine ultranationalist Trumperak Sloiga Feretrum Uisperiem (TSFU) orchestrated a coup. On 20 November 1282, TSFU proclaimed itself the new governing authority. Karris Veltiom Rastufais assumed leadership. The Sakarater Toutam programme restored social stability through employment expansion, civilian production revival, and cultural development.
IX. THE SECOND GREAT WAR OF ELDERVALE - TOUTANGLOM THEATRE (1291–1294)
Driven by desire to reclaim lost territories, Toutanglom declared war on Hleidisland (28 October 1291). Tanglomi forces regained most former lands within weeks. Peace offer rejected. A second defensive victory at Saprissa River (December – 2 April 1292) forced Hleidisland to halt its advance.
Toutanglom deployed the newest biological agents - SILENUS-9 and Vireo. Even Hleidisland's medical systems struggled. Advance stalled due to exhaustion.
Toutanglom declared war on Senas Tuath and Abern (30 April 1292). Widespread biological attacks and food supply destruction caused rapid territorial losses. Advance halted when Abern reverted to guerrilla tactics and Senas Tuath destroyed key ports.
More than 800,000 prisoners of war were transported to research facilities for biological experimentation. Hleidisland retaliatory massacres at Brechthalla and Nerfinium (15–20 July 1293) - deep psychological scars.
After three years with no decisive breakthroughs, all belligerents exhausted. Toutanglom signed Pax of Seraphic (5 July 1294). Northern territories devastated. Second Sakarater Toutam programme initiated.
X. CLONING ARMY AND THE SURIS STATUE (1296–1320)
1296: Suris Statue - enduring national symbol - fully restored. By 1320, Toutanglom completed the first generation of cloning army - genetically modified to surpass standard soldiers. Prohibitively expensive, produced only in limited numbers.
XI. THE FALERIIIA ISLAND CRISIS AND THE PRELUDE TO THE THIRD GREAT WAR (1332–1351)
18 February 1332: Faleriiia Island Crisis - a Senas Tuath vessel docked without authorization. After a month of tense negotiations, agreement reached: ship docked in error; Senas Tuath pledged advance notification.
The Post-Pax era became a period of sustained societal, economic, military, and cultural strengthening. The government consistently emphasized vigilance.
1349: Toutanglom completed development of the most destructive biological weapon system - composite agents: Virudom Nerkhul, Nerkhul, Ullun-7, and Mortud-X. Rapid transmissibility, fatal outcomes within hours. Among the most controversial and horrifying weapons ever conceived.
30 June 1351: Marrukis Staiis Pompoiis elected head of state, continuing national development until the outbreak of the Third Great War.
Idealology: Luminafracta
For centuries, the Taglomi have believed themselves to be the children of a new world order, risen from the ashes of the old, which was utterly consumed by the wrath of the Sun Gods. To show humility and grace, they worship all suns equally, striving to maintain balance and to avoid drawing divine attention too soon.
The fundamental objective of this ideology is the preservation of a stable societal order that acknowledges and venerates two indispensable yet unseen forces of judgment and surveillance, regarded as the true architects of reality. Public consciousness is deliberately directed toward a ceremonial figurehead - an intentionally hollow institution designed to concentrate devotion, legitimize authority, and absorb public resentment and blame, thereby shielding the true governing mechanisms from scrutiny.
At the core of this doctrine lie several foundational values.
The Sanctity of Resentment holds that the desire for recognition is not a flaw, but a sacred and necessary motivating force. To ignore or deny a power that performs an essential function is considered the gravest form of sacrilege.
Puppet Sovereignty asserts that visible authority is an empty vessel - an indispensable symbolic construct whose purpose is to be guided, manipulated, and sacrificed as needed by the concealed powers that ensure systemic stability.
Worship as Tax defines adoration not as a voluntary expression, but as a compulsory civic resource owed to the forces that sustain equilibrium. This obligation is extracted and regulated through institutionalized ritual, doctrine, and public practice.
Creative Annihilation legitimizes total societal collapse as a sanctioned and sacred corrective measure, employed to punish collective ingratitude and to reset the cosmic and political balance when deviation becomes irreparable.
From these values emerge the governing principles of the ideology.
The Law of the Unseen Hand establishes that the most consequential rulers are those who remain unseen, whose influence is pervasive yet deliberately unacknowledged, and whose legitimacy derives from effect rather than recognition.
The Edict of Mandatory Gratitude declares that failure to properly venerate all foundational powers constitutes a capital offense - not merely against the state, but against the balance of reality itself.
Within this framework, humanity is defined as inherently unstable: impulsive, impressionable, and prone to misplaced reverence. Humans instinctively idolize sources of comfort while resenting structures that impose discipline and order. This perceived moral deficiency is used to justify the construction of a rigid and fear-driven cosmology, in which both devotion and dread are systematically harvested and administered by unseen authorities acting as custodians of balance.
Accordingly, the ideal state promotes the establishment of public institutions tasked with auditing civic devotion. These bodies monitor, measure, and regulate the distribution of praise among all sanctioned archetypal powers, ensuring that none are neglected. Punishments for imbalance or omission are severe, symbolic, and deliberately theatrical. Central to this system are annual state-sanctioned reenactments of global annihilation, during which citizens are required to collectively plead for forgiveness from obscured forces. These rituals serve to reaffirm submission, reinforce the supremacy of the hidden powers, and remind the population that survival itself is conditional.
