'''Tussenland''' ([[Amerikaens]]: ''Tussenlandt,'' French: ''Toussenlande''), officially the '''Federation of Tussenland''', is a nation in North America. Tussenland is unique in that the country borders every nation of continental North America except [[New England]]. Along with [[Mexico]], Tussenland stretches across the American continent bordering both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

After [[History of Tussenland#Prince Maurice's War (1750-1755), and Acquisition of Meerenland|Prince Maurice's War]], the Anglo-Dutch coalition sought concessions from [[New France]]. The Dutch acquired the Upper Country (French: ''Pays d'en Haut'') and renamed it [[Meerenland]] in 1755. In the 1760s, the modern province of [[Mississippi]] was opened for settlement under the West India Company in order to consolidate the area against French, British, and indigenous aggression.
During the Augustine period, the Netherlands was subjugated by France, leading to the independence of New Netherland. However, this revolutionary spirit did not spread westwards. Eventually, the [[Royal Tussenland Company]] was established in 1815 to administer the Colony of Tussenland.
In the early 19th century, the Onatouwacka and Cajuckonoo nations of the Hoodenoshieöné moved southwards to present-day [[Irokesenland]] in order to resist increasing European settlement. The Irokees Grand Council signed a treaty with the Royal Tussenland Company in 1816, establishing the [[History of Tussenland#The Protectorate of Irokesenlandt (1816)|Protectorate of Irokesenland]].[[File:Tussenland Old Administrative Map.png|thumb|264x264px|Administrative map of Tussenland in the 19th century.|left]]
From 1810-1840, the western coast of Tussenland became a major trading hub with Asia. Numerous traders and settlers from [[Corea]], [[Japan]], and [[Soenda]] arrived in the present-day [[Westerzee]] province. On the other side of the continent, Virginia purchased a substantial amount of Appalachian lands from Tussenland in the 1848 Purchase.

Throughout the early 20th century, several armed conflicts with the [[Netherlands]] threw the nation into chaos and forced Tussenland to assert its own identity. The creation of the Land Agency eventually led to the establishment of [[Crÿnssensland]] and [[Ruytersland]] and the expulsion of many indigenous Americans to [[Opdamsland]]. Soon, an oil boom swept parts of the country, creating the National Energy Corporation in 1912. In 1927, President [[Maurits Teysmin]] proposed a pre-emptive strike against [[Alyeska]] to neuter [[Russia|Russian influence]]. This was vastly unpopular, leading to the election of President [[Cornelis Laurensz]] in 1929 & Tussenland's involvement in the [[Great War]]. However, the prospect of war with Mexico and New Netherland forced Tussenland to completely withdraw in 1937. Laurensz's blunder was considered a national embarassment, with the National Assembly forcibily removing him from office not long after.
== Government and Politics ==
Tussenland is a bicameral semi-presidential parliamentary federal republic operating under an uncodified constitution, the [[National Canon]]. The country's power is divided between the Federal Government ([[Amerikaens]]: ''Staetsoverhed'') based in [[Daesemus]] and ten semi-autonomous provinces.
