The S'Lanter, officially referred as The Okur-Federation of The S'Lanter, is a landlocked nation located in the southwest of Lumaria on the continent of Pelia. It consists of 87 holts (federal districts) and five unincorporated territories. With a population of over 100 million, it is the most populous country in Lumaria and in Pelia. It is the predominate nationstate of the Okurluns, a species of sapient bipedal Okur'oden. While Okurluns make up 96.3% of the population, members of other species claim citizenship in the Okur-Federation.

Etymology

In Okur'langun, S'Lanter holds a profound and ancient origin, roughly meaning "kindred" in a multilateral context. It derives from Zurkha mythology and the deep reverence the people hold for their interconnectedness and kinship. "S'lan" is the archaic form of the Modern Gurtskharuli word "salkhi," meaning "home" or "dwelling." "Ter" is the archaic form of the Modern Gurtskharuli word "ts'ter," translating to "heart." Thus, "S'Lanter" fuses "salkhi" and "ts'ter".

"S'Lanter" first originated from Zurkha texts in the Shenatvari as early as 350 AR, referring to a mythological promised land for the Okurlun peoples. The word adapted from a physical promised land to a spiritual promised land where the Okur can be one people.

In the late 1400s, "S'Lanter" became a term used to signify a common nationhood of the Okurluns as the Prat'chk clan unified the various tribes. With the establishment of the national fiction based on Zurkha philosophy, the superstate of the Okurluns was effectively founded.
