The reason is basically that the article only deals with the country from the foundation of the current political entity in its area. Other periods can be found under Glorious Republic of Greater Tukarali, Fascist Sate of Tukarali, et al. Putting the current article under the core name would a. deny historic development, b. give lesser weight to the current political entity (which is the longest-lasting as far as I know) than to those which existed before (sometimes only briefly), and eliminate the record of the current state if the name should change. I actually always thought the was a separate core article for Tukarali, until you moved the Democratic Republic to simply "Tukarali".
