Transomhan Republic
The Transomhan Republic, often just called Transomhania is a minor Republic in South-Central Tersten. It is home to the Transomhanian Scots, who reside on the south side of the Omhan Mountains. It is a democratic parliamentary republic, with its capital split between Ardgoil and Consburgh. The region of Transomhania is largely tundra and pine forests. Like much of the extreme south of Tersten, it has harsh winters and strong summers, and its people are reliant on imported gas and oil from Bishen.
The Transomhanians are locked in a three way skirmish over the Omhan Mountains, having been at war with both its neighbours since their founding. This constant squabbling between them has been a significant hamper towards development in the region, with the Republic of Tersten refusing to step in and mediate the problem. The Omhanians see themselves as the rightful leaders of a unified Omhan region, which puts them at odds with both Transomhania and the Republique des Vachères, who sometimes aid each other against Omhania. However, in this case the enemy of their enemy is not their friend, with the Vachéres and Transomhanians often fighting over land disputes and resources, specifically the incredibly important Bishen Pipeline that runs through Vachéres land, forcing the Transomhanians to pay extra to remain supplied.
The Republic's primary export is lumber and fishing, and it is considered Quite Poor by most Tersten economic surveys. Only a few major roads run through the region, connecting the Great Lakes Confederacy and the Yukela Pradesh, all of them considered unsafe to travel due to the border conflicts between the Transomhan Republic and its neighbours.
The current Prime Minister of the Republic is James 'Jimbo' Bruce, representing the Scots Conservative Party. He was elected in 73 PC following the assassination of the country's previous Prime Minister by Omhanian Nationalists. The Omhan Affair, as it is known, was a major crisis in the Republic, but has led to tentatively warmer ties to Omhania after they handed the assassins back to Transomhania. Bruce's handling of the Affair has all but guaranteed him a second term.
