-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.

+===Physical geography===
+With an area of 119,595.59 sq mi (309,751 km<sup>2</sup>), Rttirria is situated on a peninsula in [[w:Southeast Asia|Southeast Asia]], on the [[w:Indian Plate|Indian tectonic plate]]. It borders [[w:Myanmar|Myanmar]] to the southwest and jutting into the [[w:Bay of Bengal|Bay of Bengal]] toward [[w:India|India]] and [[w:Sri Lanka|Sri Lanka]]. The country has a diverse topography, ranging from dense tropical rainforest and swamps—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.

Note the clusters of high density around Iharnara (northeast), Efunari (south), and Chukkapati (southwest).]]
+Rttirria is divided into 27 provinces; all of them were historically their own kingdoms except for West and East Warakitasa, which were a single kingdom and then a single province. They were divided in the late 19th century by the British for greater ease of governance, along a crude north-south line that separated numerous cities and towns. 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 into closer contact with one another. The provinces vary widely in population, from West Warakitasa (10.2 million, 17.6% of the national population) to Wimichimau (50,300, 0.09%).
+Notably, the capital city of Iharnara does not constitute its own province, instead being located along the southern coast of Akkakau; if it did, it would be ranked 12th in population and first in population density. Its infrastructure, business, education, and other functions are handled by the county and province, just like those of any other city. There is some support for splitting the city off into the 28th province of Rttirria, particularly by westerners who see its positioning in an Eastern province as a form of Eastern privilege, but no organized movement has materialized so far.
+Each province is divided into counties—ranging from the 3 counties of Wimichimau to the 44 of Miwikipu—except for Martirtu. The counties have no longform names, being denoted simply with numbers. Many counties are coextensive with city boundaries, such as Akkakau County 12 (Iharnara), West Warakitasa County 5 (Efunari), and Kikai County 10 (Kikai).
+In 1975, Martirtu's government consolidated its 8 counties into one per a ballot measure. Arguments presented by proponents of the consolidation measure included greater bureaucratic efficiency, banding together to serve as a check on the power of the federal government in Iharnara, ethnic homogeneity, and little cultural and linguistic diversity compared to other provinces; the resolution passed by a sizable margin. Other county consolidation measures have been placed on ballots in Urtuki, Yenesni, and Wimichimau, but none of these measures has passed.

 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.
+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, the result of geographical isolation, higher altitudes, and historically lower industrial development.
 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.
