Tamiladesa (Hamaara 1857)

The Kingdom of Tamiladesa (Tamil:தமிழ்நாடு இராச்சியம்) is a sovereign state in southern India.

The first Tamil kingdoms were established by dynasties like the Cholas,Cheras,and Pandyas.They contributed heavily to literature and the arts.They also traded with Rome.In the Third Century the Kalabhras invaded and displaced these three dynasties.

Later,the Pandyas and Pallavas rose up against the Kalabhras.In the Ninth Century the Cholas regained sovereignty,defeated the two empires,and became a superpower.They even had vassals in Southeast Asia.

During the Fourteenth Century,as Islam arrived,these three dynasties collapsed and the region became a part of the Vijayanagara Empire.

The Telugu-speaking Nayaka governors of the empire ruled the region until European traders and companies began to influence the rulers of the land heavily.They founded the Madras Presidency.

In 1857,the British quitted India under forced circumstances and the region went to the Nizam of Hyderabd until 1861,when a rich man,Chenappa Chakravarthy,who claimed to be the descendant of the medieval Chakravarthy Rajas bought it from the Nizam.

Government
The Tamil government is an absolute hereditary monarchy.All laws are decided by the Raja and if the Raja disagrees with people of lower positions such as the tax-collecting Dewan or others disagree with the Raja,then they can be impeached,arrested,or even executed,depending on how high the level of their 'sedition' is.

Rules for inheritance of the throne
The inheritance of the throne depnds on what the decision of the Raja is.While Chenappa Chakravarthy is a childless bachelor,he has decided that if he does have a child,he shall let his eldest one have the throne.If a Raja does not marry,then a cousin or relative will take the place of the Raja.The system of choosing one is therefore considered unfair by some.However,the Raja can also be a Rani if the Raja does not have a son,or chooses his/her daughter as next leader.

Rules on the caste system
The caste system is legal and caste is an usual statistic in most records of people's births,marriages,and deaths.There are strict laws regarding intercaste marriage that can only be changed after the Raja's approval
