Ohemia (officially the Federation of Ohemia, colloquially known as Oheme̊) is a sovereign state located in Eastern Uletha. It is bordered by the nation of Suria to the south-west, Wisermoria to the south, Escadia to the north-west, Uherslent to the north, and the Kapsen Sea to the east. The nation has an area of xxx square kilometers and a population of over 42 million people. The capital and largest city is Corrostance, with a population of over 6 million. Other major cities include Soprasser, Roston and Sallingarin; the largest urban area is Samandy.
Ohemia is a Federal Constitutional Monarchy with a strong tradition of democracy and rule of law. It is considered a well-developed nation in East Uletha, with a fairly good standard of living and human development index. It is also a member of various international organizations, including the Assembly of Nations. Its capital, Corrostance, is a major regional financial centre. The nation's traditional strengths in agriculture and manufacturing have been supplemented by growing sectors such as tourism and information technology.
Settlement in the territory of modern Ohemia began in the later stages of the Iron Age, with various Ohemic tribes like the Calcins, Tartesians, and the Sestreni, inhabiting the Central and Southern parts of the country, and Early Slevic tribes in the North. The name "Ohemia" was first documented around the 8th century, appearing in trade records and oral histories of neighbouring regions. By the 11th century, the disparate tribes and communities of Jolantian-speaking tribes began to coalesce under the leadership of emerging chieftains who sought to unite the region for defence and economic stability. This period marked the foundation of the King of Ohemia, traditionally attributed to the coronation of Anja Marcan in 1027, often celebrated as the "Unifier of the first Ohemia." In the 13th Century, the bulk of Ohemia along with other lands integrated into the first established Eustachian Empire under Storon (Empreror) Eustace I "the Brave". Proceeding Ohemian states that contributed to the literature, philosophy, mathematics, medicine, and art of Jolantian and Ohemian civilisation include the Second Eustachian Empire (1278-1300), the Tartesian Empire (1300-1457), the Siglistrian Empire (1457-1523), the Sassander Empire (1523-1716), and the Tsatsins Grand Ohemian Empire (1716-1872). Following the dissolution of the Grand Ohemian Empire in 1872, Eustace IX & X proclaimed the First Federal Monarchy of Ohemia, in which the grounds of Modern Ohemia stands on (through the Trāspotanyon).
Etymology
The name Ohemia is a related with the English word "home," tracing its roots back to the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) word ḱóymos, meaning "village" or "homely." The PIE root ḱei- relates to concepts of "lying down" or "resting," signifying a place of settlement or safety.
Traditionally, Ohemia has also been referred by its ethnolinguistic family (and its religion) "Jolantia(n)", where the Ohemian language and subsequently, its Ohemic branch stems from. The first part of the word, "Jo," has an unclear origin and may have evolved from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root yoh₁, meaning "to be" or "exist." Other theories propose a connection to the name Joseph, a biblical name derived from Yosef (יוֹסֵף), meaning "God will add" or "God will increase." However, some scholars dispute this link, noting that Christicism arrived in Ohemia around the 9th century, which could imply that the association with Joseph may have come later. Additionally, the name Jolanta, derived from the Jolantian (religion) prime matriarchal goddess, is thought to originate from ancient Tartesian words. It is believed to stem from the roots "Jol" meaning "light" or "radiance," and "ant" meaning "mother" or "giver of life." The second part "lan," is derived from the PIE root dʰel- meaning "to bear" or "to carry." In Ohemian, lan is used as a toponymic after the place from which they are from, as opposed to Son, which is generally just "of" or "from", and is used before the place name.
Another relevant name for Ohemia, "Sastron", is linked to the Iron Age tribe known as the Sestreni. The Sestreni were an ancient tribe that inhabited the central regions of Ohemia. The name is believed to be derived from the Sestreni’s word for "strength" or "protection" (sastr), possibly referencing the tribe's warrior culture and their defensive strategies against invading forces. This term would later influence the development of Sastrian, the language spoken by descendants of the Sestreni, which remains a existing and related tongue within the Ohemian linguistic family.
