Tikperemuan



Tikperemuan is the capital city of the Tanerdamian Republic and the province of Pantabat. It is also the biggest city in Tanerdamian, with a population of 540,000. It is situated on the south side of the island of Pantabat. The city is ancient, with history going as far back as the Pre-Unification Era. Unfortunately, much of that history has been covered up by newer developments.

Pre-Unification
Before the eruption of Mount Pankikus and subsequent unification of the four tribes of Tanasuku, the city of Tikperemuan was a moderately-sized town that was a favorite meeting place of the Elders of Setengabarat.

Following the eruption, many refugees fled from the western regions of Pantabat and possibly even the land bridge between Pantabat and Pulakang, if one existed. This swelled the population of the town significantly.

Tanerdamian Alliance
While there was no central capitol of the Tanerdamian Alliance, Tikperemuan served as the primary meeting place of the Councils of Elders and as a major hub of culture and influence.

Tanerdamian Kingdom
When the newly centralized Tanerdamian Kingdom needed a capitol, Tikperemuan was the best candidate. It was the biggest city in the Tanasuku Islands and it had significant cultural value and wealth. It became the capital. However, the major cities of the other islands still retained power and the other Kings mostly lived on their home islands.

When the Pantabatian House of Darbarat won out over the royal lines, Tikperemuan became a symbol of power and control was consolidated into it.

Tanerdamian Republic
Due to the circumstances of the reformation of the country, Tikperemuan remained the capital of the nation. Today, it has a population of over [TBD] and remains the cultural and economic center of Tanerdamian.
