Tikatan territory also includes the Morepoint Islands in the Aeturnum Ocean. With an area of 545,236 square kilometers (210,517 sq mi), it is the fifth largest country in Internatia.

Politics

Tikata is a federal, parliamentary, representative democratic monarchy. The Tikatan political system operates under a framework laid out in the Constitution from 1907. Amendments generally require a two-thirds majority of both chambers of parliament; the fundamental principles of the constitution, as expressed in the articles guaranteeing human dignity, the separation of powers, the federal structure, and the rule of law are valid in perpetuity.

Tikata has a hereditary monarch and a bicameral parliament. The executive branch consists of a Council of Ministers of Tikata presided over by the Prime Minister, nominated and appointed by the monarch and confirmed by the House of Representatives following legislative elections. By political custom, the king's nominees have all been from parties who maintain a plurality of seats in the House of Representatives.

The legislative branch is made up of the House of Representatives with 377 members, elected by popular vote on block lists by proportional representation to serve four-year terms, and a Senate with 125 seats of which 100 are directly elected by popular vote and the other 25 appointed by the regional legislatures to also serve four-year terms.

Total population

With an estimated population of 18.7 million people (as of 1 January 2013), Tikata is one of the most populous countries in East Internatia.

In 2009 the population of Tikata officially reached 18 million people, as recorded by the Tikatan Statistic Office (TSO). Tikata's population density, at 34/km² (89/sq mi), is lower than that of most Western Internatian countries and its distribution across the country is very unequal. With the exception of the region surrounding the capital, Madakia, the most populated areas lie on the west and south. The population of Tikata more than doubled since 1900, when it stood at 8.1 million, principally due to the spectacular demographic boom in the 1960s and early 1970s.

Native Tikatans make up 92% of the total population of Tikata. After the birth rate plunged in the 1980s and Tikata's population growth rate dropped, the population again trended upward, based initially on the return of many Tikatans who had emigrated to other Internatian countries during the 1970s, and more recently, fuelled by large numbers of immigrants who make up 5% of the population.

The natural growth (excess of births over deaths) rose to 107,599 in 2006, its highest since the end of the baby boom in 1978. The total fertility rate rose to 2.04 in 2012, from a nadir of 1.78 in 1992.In the five years between January 2007 and January 2012, population growth was on average +0.73% per year.

Tikata accepts about 20,000 legal immigrants each year. Country is the leading asylum destination in Eastern Internatia with an estimated 5,000 applications in 2010.

Substantial populations descended from Tikatan colonists and immigrants exist in other parts of the world, most notably in West Internatia. Beginning in the late 15th century, large numbers of Iberian colonists settled in South Internatia. They were joined by 200,000 in the next century. Between 1800 and 1940 it is estimated that nearly 2 millions Tikatans emigrated to the other parts of the world, especially to Xhanostania and Jindalea. Approximately one million Tikatans migrated to other Western Internatian countries between 1960 to 1975.
