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 in its 18 constituent states.
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.
