Zuma

Zuma is a former nation that has been a part of the Valruzian Federation since around 1911.

History
The council of Nuzria was established around the 230s controlling today's Tirkalara and North Bandorra. The people called themselves Zumans and the Nation is referred to as Zuma in foreign sources. The council consisted of 15 representatives from each of the seven Zuman districts. The nation remained independent, though disagreement and foreign pressure, until a civil war broke out in 1911. The Valruzians exploited the situation and quickly gained control of the nation and replaced the council with a queen (see the House of Tirkalara).

Zidqan and the southern part of Mowqan was most brutishly colonized. There are said that over 200 000 Zumans was slaugthered to make room for the Valonians. The only Valonians who came further into Zuma was the aristocrats sent to manage the land by the Emperor. Today only 7% of the Zidqan population is Zuman, but many descendants of refugees from Zidqan live in Nuzria. These people are prone to support militant separatism and join groups like the Zuman Independence Party or the Titoists.

Due to division the independence issue was not raised until Almhod Tito started the Eccentric Farmer List in the 1970s. He soon fell victim of a government bullet but the dream of an independent Zuma still lives through the Titoistic Communist Party. Another separatist group calling themselves the Titoists have commited terrorist acts since Tito's death. The TCP denies that there are any links between this group and their party.
