Tjorl (pronounced [ˈtjoːɹl]; Solrød: Tschuren, pronounced [ˈʃuːɹn̩]), officially the Federal Republic of Tjorl, is a federal democratic republic located in northern Oatland. It's territory is bound on the north by Laufeyssen, on the south and west by the Tjorlish Sea, and on the east by unclaimed territory. Tjorl covers 602,022 squared kilometers and has has an estimated population of 43 million living within its 18 states. Tjorl's capital and largest city is Kjol.
Tjorl's modern territory has been documented to be inhabited by modern humanity since 10,530 BC. Various seafaring and mining city-states were established in classical antiquity. In the late-8th to the mid-11th centuries, a militaristic kingdom named Krigerhalle sacked most coastal settlements, soon taking control of most of what is now Tjorlish coastline. However, it gradually collapsed in the late-11th century, losing most of their control on major coastal cities After the Krigerhallian collapse, the Kingdom of Kjolkyst was established, with its capital in Kjol.
In the mid-16th century, the inland kingdoms were conquered and unified under the banner of Kjolkyst. After unification, the Kingdom of Tjorl was set up, under the reign of the House of Auer. The royal family was then overthrown in the mid-16th century, after which a federal republic called the Republic of Tjorl was established. Various cities later saw rapid urbanization and modernization in the 1930s and 1940s.
The Solrød people maintain a definite amount of self-determination and autonomy in specialized cantons called Innlandsamfunn. As a highly-developed nation, Tjorl maintains a welfare model with universal health care and a social security system. It also offers tuition-free tertiary education. Currently, Tjorl is a member of the World Assembly and the political union of Oatland. It is also the de facto headquarters of the Oatland Regional Cartographical Administration (ORCA).
Etymology
The word Tjorl originates from the Solrød word Tiyorl ('lake'). During the late-11th to the mid-17th centuries, the term was used to refer to the inland settlements. The term gradually came to refer to all the kingdoms located on modern Tjorlish territory, most notably the Kingdom of Kjolkyst. After the kingdoms were unified in 1630, the Tjorlish founding fathers adopted the word as the nation's name. The Solrød word Tschuren derives from the Old Solrød terms Tszo ('snowy') and Ran ('peak'), referring to the Herman-Hansen mountain range located on Tjorl's northern border.
