'''Rttirria''' (English: /ˈtɪəriə/, [[Rttirri]]: [ʈʼiɻitʼøku] ''Rttirritteku'') is a country situated on a peninsula on the [[w:Bay of Bengal|Bay of Bengal]] in [[w:Southeast Asia|Southeast Asia]]. Covering an area of about 120,000 sq mi (310,000 km<sup>2</sup>), Rttirria is the [[w:List of sovereign states and dependencies by area|70th largest country]] on Earth, immediately after [[w:Poland|Poland]]. With a population of over 58 million people as of 2015, it is also [[w:List of countries and dependencies by population|the 24th most populous country]], after [[w:Italy|Italy]]. Rttirria's capital is Iharnara, which is its fourth largest city by population at 1.5 million people; its largest city is Efunari, with 4.2 million. It is a [[w:presidential republic|presidential republic]] and [[w:liberal democracy|liberal democracy]] with one of the highest [[w:Human Development Index|Human Development Index]] and [[w:Gross Domestic Product|GDP]] per capita ratings in Southeast Asia.
 
Sharing a land border with [[w:Myanmar|Myanmar]] on the northeast, Rttirria has a diverse topography, ranging from dense tropical rainforest—particularly near the border with Myanmar—to the alpine Rsewakai Mountains in the center and north, steep cliffs and meadows in the southwest, and the volcanic island province of Rseperupu. The population is heavily concentrated in metropolitan areas along the southeastern coast, such as those surrounding the cities of Efunari, Iharnara, Kikai, and Chukkapati; most of the northern part of the country, especially in the Rsewakai Mountains, is very sparsely populated. Most of the population speaks Rttirri, but sizable minority communities speak other indigenous and immigrant languages. The largest religion is [[w:Hinduism|Hinduism]]; other significant minority religions are [[w:Buddhism|Buddhism]], [[w:Islam|Islam]], [[w:Christianity|Christianity]], and [[w:atheism|atheism]].
 
Rttirria is divided into 27 provinces, each of them—except Martirtu—themselves divided into counties. Although the provinces have distinct regional identities, cultures, and dialects of the Rttirri language, the nation has maintained a fairly consistent identity since the 14th century, when Indian colonists and traders brought the 26 kingdoms that make up modern Rttirria into closer contact with one another—the province of Warakitasa was divided into two by British colonists in the 19th century for greater ease of governance. Rttirria remained a [[w:developing country|developing country]] well into the 20th century, punctuated by waves of political riots—especially in Iharnara—in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, its economy and political standing have blossomed into those of a [[w:middle power|middle power]], propelled by the government's investment in free education, business, technology, tourism, and free trade.
 
==Etymology==
The native name for Rttirria is ''Rttirritteku'', which simply means "the Rttirri homeland" or "the Rttirri nation". The suffix ''-tteku'' is also used in various other names for countries in Rttirri, particularly in Southeast Asia. The etymology of ''Rttirri'' is unknown, but is recorded in inscriptions dating back to the 14th century. One commonly purported origin of the name is ''rtti-rri'' (lit. "mongoose-like"), but this is believed to be a [[w:false etymology|false etymology]]—the name ''Rttirri'' predates the adjectival suffix ''-rri'', at least in written text. Originally ''-rrirai'' ("to resemble") was used to derive adjectives from nouns, and only later was it simplified to ''-rri''. In fact, the Eastern dialects of the Rttirri language pronounce the two words differently: ''Rttirri'' [ʈʼɨɻ'''ɨ'''] vs. ''rtti-rri'' [ʈʼɨɻ'''i'''].

Rttirria is fairly ethnically homogeneous among Southeast Asian nations. Its dominant ethnic group, the Rttirri people, make up 77.4% of the population as of 2015 population estimates, though this percentage is declining. The remaining 22.6% of the population are considered ethnic minorities, and consist of [[w:Burmese people|Burmese]] ethnic groups (7.4%); other Asian peoples from [[w:East Asia|East]], Southeast, [[w:South Asia|South]], and [[w:West Asia|West Asia]] (6.9%); non-Asian (5.6%); and of other native cultures on the Rttirrian peninsula (2.7%).
Asian people who are neither Rttirri, other native Rttirrian, or Burmese are of diverse origins, primarily from [[w:China|China]], [[w:South Korea|South Korea]], [[w:Thailand|Thailand]], [[w:Philippines|the Philippines]], [[w:India|India]], [[w:Pakistan|Pakistan]], [[w:Syria|Syria]], and [[w:Iraq|Iraq]]. Likewise, non-Asians hail from many other countries around the world, principally [[w:United States|the United States]], [[w:United Kingdom|the United Kingdom]], [[w:Nigeria|Nigeria]], [[w:Egypt|Egypt]], [[w:Somalia|Somalia]], and [[w:Serbia|Serbia]] and other former [[w:Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] countries.


Rttirria has seen moderate [[w:urbanization|urbanization]] during its history, albeit not to the extent of many other countries. In much of eastern Rttirria, the populations of large urban centers such as Iharnara, Ttyami, and Umairri have been declining for decades due to high crime, protests and riots, deprived post-industrial economies, and political corruption; their inhabitants have been moving to western and northern Rttirria and into rural areas of the east, such as in northern Yenesni, southern Rtuha, and Miwikipu.

[[File:Rttirria.png|thumb|right|250px|Rttirria's flag, the ''Ppawipu''. The unusually sparse design, consisting solely of a dark green background intended to resemble forest, adorned by three white squares intended to resemble a ''snenuppai'', has long been interesting to [[w:vexillology|vexillologists]].]]
Rttirri's trademark art form is the ''snenuppai'', which translates literally as "little family" and consists of a three-panel comic, arranged from top to bottom. Snenuppais are used for many serious and comedic purposes in the present day, such as for [[w:political cartoon|political cartoons]] in newspapers, illustrations in children's books, pamphlets at religious ceremonies and in many Rttirri editions of [[w:Hinduism|Hindu]] sacred texts, and instructions on appliances.


The origins of snenuppais are unknown, but short visual stories have been found in etchings in stone, clay, and petrified wood all over western Rttirria, some of them dating back to at least the 8th century CE. These visual stories are of various lengths, but usually between one and five panels long, and usually arranged vertically. They were used for various purposes including recording the histories of families, cities, and kingdoms; keeping track of inventories and debts; predicting the future; and allowing newly married couples to write out their wedding vows.
===Syntax===


Perhaps most notably of all, many of these early comics, even those used to tell narratives, used blocks of symbols intended to convey speech and narration. Linguists have analyzed these symbols and found no meaningful correspondence between them and any known stage of the Rttirri language, but because of the non-literal nature of many symbols used (for example, a drawing of a head shaking was sometimes used to signal negation), it is hypothesized that if Rttirria had been isolated from Arab and Indian peoples, these symbols could have eventually evolved into a [[w:logogram|logographic]] writing system like that of [[w:Chinese characters|Chinese]] or [[w:Maya script|the Mayan languages]].
