Transsuneria (Transsunerian: ['tɹɑːns.suːneːʁje]), officially the Federal Republic of Transsuneria (Transsunerian: Transsunerias bundrepublik ['tɹɑːns.suːneːʁjes 'bund.ɹeːbuːblik]), is an archipelagic state located in the extreme of the Cordilian archipelago. It is composed of the islands Regonia, Vetins, and Karleins, and several islets. The climate is tropical and the islands are exposed to yearly storms and hurricanes. The nation's name means "beyond Suneria", but what exactly was called Suneria is no longer known. A popular movement is working for a name change to Regonia.
The Transsunerian economy is mainly based on phosphate mining, fishing, and petroleum refinement.
Etymology
History
It is uncertain whether there were permanent settlements in Transsuneria before the arrival of Kieltan tribes of Catzyan descent during the Cordilian Iron Age. The earliest mention in written sources of the Kieltans is in the works of the Sedunnic explorer Tynn Lierjnienn from 907. The Kieltan tribes remained semi-nomadic until the middle ages, when traders from Besern and Gianlucian Kingdom started settling the Transsunerian archipelago, greatly influencing the Kieltan culture and language. The Gianlucians expanded their influence and eventually officially colonised the smaller islands to the north-east. In the late 1400s, Sedunnic traders established a permanent presence on Regonia. During the first half of the 1500s, Austral and Boreal merchants started settling in Transsuneria.
In 1888, Regonia gained its independence. In 1904, the Gianlucian colony, as well as the other Forinseler islands, were granted independence after having agreed to lease the port of Bodstrand, Vetins, to the Gianlucian Empire, allowing for a continued substantial presence of the Gianlucian navy in the region. In 1905, the separate islands unified into a single state that was named Transsuneria.
Transsuneria was invaded by the Frankist Gianlucian Empire early during during the Great War and was completely occupied in five days. Transsuneria held great strategic value, especially for maintaining the supply lines to Gianlucian possessions in Bailtem and for the planned invasion of Besern.
