Schennland (Alemannisch: [ˈʃɛnlant]), officially the Republic of Schennland (Alemannisch: Republik Schennland), is a country in southeastern Aurelia. It lies between the Typhon Sea to the north and the Sila Mountains to the south. The country has a population of 13.68 million, covering an area of 176,600 km² and sharing land borders with Azuria and Illirea to the west and Ionio to the east. The capital and largest city of Schennland is Harburg; other major cities include Gladbach, Wassnitz, and Pisekow.
Etymology
The country derives its name from the Schennach river, which starts in the Sila Mountains and flows north through much of the country until it meets the ocean at Harburg. When Dolchic colonists first reached the area, they recorded that the natives called the river Schendag, a corruption of the native Sachendaga. Schendag eventually changed to Schennach, as -ach is a common suffix in Alemannisch for rivers.
