T′jung nLem (充滕, courtesy name 伯空, prêk-k′ong, Oct. 20, 1872 — Jan. 19, 1954) was a Themiclesian public servant and politican. He was MP for N′al-lang West for over a decade then accepted a senior administrative position, eventually promoted to Inner Administrator in 1935, where he would remain through the war, until he joined the government in 1944 as Minister for Public Works. He served Prime Minister between 1949 and 1951, overseeing the withdrawal of the occupation of Menghe and reconstruction of much of the interior of Themiclesia. He is most remembered for proposing the Trans-Hemithean Railway and promoting an expansion program to Themiclesia's road transport system, but his legacy has also been connected with the use of forced labour in the Battle of Kien-k'ang, in which he forced Dayashinese parachuters to mend the city's walls, directly against their own country's efforts to breach them. This has been described as a war crime under the Eisenmaat Convention, though he was never tried for it.
