With over 100 million people, Tussenland is the second largest nation by population in North America and the largest by land area. The nations capital is the historic city of Daesemus and it's largest city is Peoria. The Federation of Tussenland consists of 10 federation provinces with a high degree of autonomy and power sharing with the federal government. Tussenland is a multiethnic nation encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. The country's three primary languages are Amerikaeners, French and Irokees but other indigenous, settler and immigrant languages are spoken across the nation (especially in the vibrant urban centers in Mereenlandt and Westerzee).
== Etymology ==
Tussenland is the English form of the country's name in the Amerikaans language: ''Tussenlandt'', which in turn is derived from ''tussenin'' (in between) + ''landt'' (country). This refers to Tussenland's geographical position in the 18th century: in between the Appalachian and Rocky mountain ranges. Although its territory has expanded over the 19th and 20th centuries, its original name is still preserved.
