Despite its size, it is the second least-populated country in the world. It borders Iluladmiv, Gitsan, Wuyala, Tlakwaan, and Iyuaschi.

The modern territory of Taniilux has been inhabited by various ethnic groups for thousands of years. Taniiluxic peoples first emerged as a recognizable group in the 6th century AD in what is now western Taniilux and Iluladmiv. The state of Angatux̂ arose in the 10th century and grew wealthy through fur and whale trade with Sinju. Between the 11th and 13th centuries, Angatux̂ invaded and subjugated much of Bangju, but the empire rapidly crumbled following the death of the heirless chief Iganax̂. The kingdom of Sixsadagulux rose to power in the late 15th century, and often clashed with nations in Sinju and Bangju. Sixsadagulux expanded eastward over the following centuries to the Mulberry Ocean. In the late 18th century, the empire of Taniilux was proclaimed.

Taniilux's relationship with Sinju was complex and nuanced, but the empire was able to grow wealthy largely because of its position as a lucrative trade partner for fur, whale, and minerals. Industrialization in Sinju and the advent of textile manufacturing and led to a sharp decline in the demand for furs and whale oil. Taniilux experienced a financial crisis in the early 19th century, which forced it to diversify its industries and improve its relations with nations in Sinju. Following its own industrialization in the late 19th century, Taniilux formed a close relationship with Jeongmi, and took part in the Bangju War to protect its own interests in the region and keep its rival Hachuabsh in check.

By the beginning of the Great Eulhae War, civil unrest had grown throughout the empire in response to its treatment of minority groups. Taniilux attempted to stay out of the war, but an invasion by Hachuabsh forced it to enter on the side of the allies. Following the war, the empire of Taniilux collapsed. Sinjuan powers intervened in the ensuing revolution in an effort to prevent the spread of communism, and the Republic of Taniilux was founded in 1947. In the following years, the government became increasingly oppressive and totalitarian. The totalitarian leader was ousted in 1978, and the Federation of Taniilux was officially established.

Today, Taniilux is a middle-income state with a. Because its territory spans multiple regions, it is influential in the political climates of Yeongju and Bangju.
