T'anshilebs (/ˈtäːnʃilɛbs/) (T'ansholubi: ტანშილებს /'t'an.ʃɪ.lɛbs/) (also written as "T'ánšilebs" in T'ansholubi Romanization), officially known as the Grand Archduchy of T'anshilebs, is a moderate-sized country in the east of Enkavak. The country is divided into 7 subsections, called divisions (T'ansholubi: დივიზებიი /dɪ.vɪ.'zɛ.bi/), named K'asilišmá, Port Lambda, T'at'íl Hezeqál, Tlííza térvesat, New Tbilísii, along with 2 territories with limited autonomy under the crown, the Archipelago of the North and the Twin Islands. The government of T'anshilebs is best described as a Constitutional Monarchy, with a written document ensuring citizen rights. The national currency is the Ńaq'óċi (𝄡). The Archduke, which is the head and leader of T'anshilebs, is Lambda.

Geography
Among all 7 territories, it is notable that all of which are temperate in climate, and are not especially cold or hot. Exploring the regions specifically, however, showcases a notable amount of biodiversity (It will be noted, however, that beaches will not be mentioned in biomes found in a division, as they are exceedingly common, and are found in all 7 divisions and colonies.) Such as:
K'asilišmá:
Entirely comprised of flatland, except a forest at the northwestern corner. Home to a plurality of sunflowers sprinkled throughout the division, it is considered the most homogenous and 'boring' division as deemed by the Archduke. Shares one half of the Strait of Lsotabsi.
Port Lambda:
To the north, a large beach stretching across the length of the division and the other half of the Strait of Lsotabsi. The further south leads to a forest and, eventually, a large patch of jungle that continues throughout the length of T'anshilebs Proper. This large stretch of jungle is deemed "The Tropical Corridor". Along with this, there is a large cavern that is at the southern end of Downtown Lsotabsi and leads to a winding cave system.
T'at'íl Hezeqál:
The largest division, completely encased in The Tropical Corridor, is mostly warm sea, and was home to the 2 most remote places in T'anshilebs Proper, Bégii Vásilobik'ii and C'mala Vásilobik'ii. Within the mainland, there is a large section of bamboo jungle, where the 2 cities of the division are. Along with this, the underground of TH is cavernous and open, so it may be a concern of whether or not the ground is stable to develop.
Tlííza térvesat:
Considered the end of the Tropical Corridor, a large amount of this division is engulfed in a familiar, dense jungle, but other biomes can be found here. Most notable of which being forests, found in the south and northeast of the division. Yet another place of interest is a small savanna, past the northeastern forest. Within this savanna, there also lies a village, the only village within T'anshilebi borders. There is also a ruined portal on the western portion of the division.
New Tbilisi:
The newest division within T'anshilebs Proper, New Tbilisi, is split into three biomes: a patch of Sparse Jungle on the northernmost tip, Plains, which encompasses the most land, and a sprawling Savanna to the south. A notable landmark from New Tbilisi are the Lakes of Despair, which are a collection of lakes in the shape of a "frowny face" (for clarification of what a frowny face is, be sad in the mirror.) There is also a ruined portal on the eastern portion of New Tbilisi.
- For the next two entries, they are considered territories under the T'anshilebi Crown, but are not part of the contiguous "T'anshilebs Proper" and are known colloquially as 'colonies' although they operate as semi-autonomous states within the T'anshilebi government and political landscape.
The Archipelago of the North (AotN):
This colony can be divided into several islands, and a peninsula of an unnamed landmass. The largest of these islands, Mrézyæliis (/'mɾεz.jæ.lis/), meaning "Of Mrezal", is home to 6 biomes, however only 4 lie within AotN: A lush flower forest to the north, a large plains with 2 ravines jutting into the landscape, a belt of moderate forest, and the southernmost biome found in North Mrézyælii, Birch Forest, which contains a lava pool, being kept under close watch for any possible wildfires. The lesser of the two main islands is named Jónatiis (/'dʒo.na.tis/) "Of Jonatan", and is only home to two biomes: the western plains and the eastern forests. Between these two islands, there is a collection of minor islands islands, most unnamed. However, just south of Jónatiis, there is an island with the name of "Little Switzerland" and an island between the two majors named "New Vaduz." New Vaduz also contains a beached ship, of which about the passengers little is known. Further eastward, the peninsula by the name of Ázri Alk'ímist'iis (/'az.ɹɪ al.'k'ɪ.mɪs.t'is/) "Alchemist's Point" contains only two biomes, a forest to the north, and the Old Growth Birch Forest to the south, which is not native to T'anshilebs Proper. The reason for the name of "Alchemist's Point" is unknown, however it is theorized that famed T'anshilebi scientist Láyenii Lsóta first did there studies here, divising the basic concept of what would be known as T'anshilebi Alchemy.
The Twin Islands:
The latter of the colonies, and the southernmost of them, are perhaps the most rare. This is because the territory of South Mrézyælii contains a biome found nowhere else in T'anshilebs: a Dark Forest. The other biome found in this area is also rare, as it is yet another Old Growth Birch Forest. Along with this, The Twin Islands' other, smaller island, Búxarštii (/'bu.xaɾ.ʃti/) is home to Old Growth Birch aswell.
History
(To see the history before, and causing, the 'Formal Founding' of T'anshilebs, please visit: History of Pre-T'anshilebs)
Founding:
The Grand Duchy of T'anshilebs was formally founded on the 26th of December, 2024. This original claim made to the international community contained 4 of the 7 divisions that T'anshilebs now encompasses: K'asilišmá, Port Lambda, T'at'íl Hezeqál, and Tlííza térvesat. An interesting note about the declaration is that the direction given to show how to reach T'anshilebs was, simply put, near Enkavak.
Martinus-T'anshilebs Territory Snafu:
A claim that was issued by the T'anshilebi Government, unknowingly, claimed a good portion of land that belongs to the neighboring base, owned by Marti. However, this was rectified when Marti stated, "They can have them (in reference to the disputed territories.)" Still, the T'anshilebi government has since dropped these claims, except those in the original claim, believing they are rightfully Marti's lands.
The Great Expansion:
After the Martinus-T'anshilebs Territory Snafu, an expansion of territory was desired. And so, on the 2nd of February, 2025, a claim was issued after expeditions went off southward and eastward, announcing ownership of what is now New Tbilisi, along with 2 colonies across the sea. The natives of the island chain, who have been deemed the "Új Magyars" have found little issue under T'anshilebi rule. This territorial expansion has led to the modern borders of T'anshilebs as of the 9th of April, 2025. It is good to note, however, that in making this claim the T'anshilebs government was anxious of being viewed as expansionist and imperialist. Fin of Coldba (Cuba) and Port of Eras then reassured that "Nobody thinks that lmao." in reference to the notion that T'anshilebs was imperialist in nature.
Mziuri:
Founding:
On the 9th of February, 2025, South Arbustivum, under Latium Regnātum, the former CMCic Federation and Vilantnen became a Condominium between Vilantnen and T'anshilebs under the name of Mziuri. This left Lambda and sq as the directors of Mziuri, which is a sole leader. The capital of this condominium is K'vgeba, however, a larger construction project is going underway for a city named Mziuri City.
Revolution:
Restlessness under the rule of Vilantnen and T'anshilebs, a revolution under the leadership of Mziurian Rebel Johanés Bavméźyn took place and successfully made Mziuri into an independent nation with Bavméźyn as the new Mziurian Director. . . on paper. This, however, is not the case, as Bavméźyn, a corrupt leader, is allowing T'anshilebs and Vilantnen to have a presence within Mziuri. This means, practically, there is no difference before and after the revolution in terms of rule. However, to follow this narrative, T'anshilebs and Vilantnen have condemned Mziuri's uprising, and do not recognize it, calling it an 'act of terror' as said by Archduke of T'anshilebs, Lambda.
Gulf Union Endeavors:
On the 27th of February, 2025, T'anshilebs claimed a plot of land on the south of the Gulf of Kozdenen, as a symbolic application to the Gulf Union. T'anshilebs did not become a member.
Sale of the Grand Palace:
On the 13th of April, 2025, T'anshilebs sold the Grand Palace, located on the southwestern portion of Lsotabsi, to the Port of Eras, ruled by Fin. The sale of this monument was due to the distain of it by Archduke Lambda, along with its admiration by Fin. Fin proposed a sale, and it was sold for 4 slabs (given in netherite) and a chest of spruce logs. It was subsequently moved on the 18th of April, 2025 by Ætérnal.
The Abstinence Purchase
On the 20th of April, 2025, T'anshilebs bought the plot of land known as Abstinence from the BIG SHOT MINECRAP SALE!!! for 4 slabs from the Realm of Madness.
Economy
Currency and Backing:
The national currencies of T'anshilebs are the T'anshilebi Ńaq'óċi (ნჲაყოძიი, /ɲa.'q'o.dzi/) for domestic purchase, along with all other internationally recognized currency. The Ńaq'óċi is backed by the diamond standard, and one Ńaq'óċi is worth .5 diamonds. The symbol for the Ńaq'óċi is a C clef (𝄡) which is a character in standard musical notation. The reason for this symbol in particular was answered by the Archduke, who stated, "It looks cool."
Economic Plan:
The Lambdatic Plan is an autarkic economic plan with communistic elements put into place under Archduke Lambda to boost the T'anshilebi economy from struggling and mainly agrarian to an economic powerhouse. The main end goal of the plan is the idea of Self-Sustainability, the state where the ngation will not need any other ngation to aid it, or provide trade to access something T'anshilebs does not have. Three ways T'anshilebs has gotten closer to this final goal, often referenced as the Lotus' Roots, are as follows:
- Industrialization
The industrialization of T'anshilebs, that is, the excess of farms planned or currently in place, are for the sole purpose of getting to the point where no T'anshilebi citizen will ever need to go anywhere but T'anshilebs for an item or experience. These farms will, of course, be open to the public of T'anshilebs.
- Trade for the Goal
When T'anshilebs interacts in trade with other ngations, it is thought through to assure that this purchase or barter will aid the country to the goal of Self-Sustainability. This also applicable in the expansion of T'anshilebs, in the context of purchases such as the Abstinence Purchase.
- T'anshilebi Labor
If a resource cannot be farmed, it is better to manually acquire it than participate in trade, as seen with every diamond T'anshilebs has in the National Bank has been mined from the earth.
When asked why this plan was being implemented by the public, Lambda made a statement, explaining, "This plan is not to state to foreign nations that we do not wish for business, or that T'anshilebs sees itself separated or above other ngations, but to say that, in my mind and heart, T'anshilebs will always be first. If T'anshilebs has anything a ngation would need to flourish, then my job is complete. I have complete faith that, in my singular lifetime, I will provide you, the T'anshilebi working people, a ngation that will be greater tenfold than when I came into power. That is all." Although this plan has been presented as an invention by Lambda himself, there is evidence to suggest that it was inspired and devised in part by the most powerful party at this time, the Commune of T'anshilebs.
Politics
Government Basis:
The T'anshilebi Political Model is based solely around the Archduke, as they are in the only position of power to make lasting laws and policies that affect the nation as a whole. The responsibility of the Archduke is as overarching as the power that comes with it: To represent and instate the will and the desires of the people. There is no term limit to the position of Archduke, and can only be legally removed by resignation or permanent absence. However, there are roles under the Archduke that hold a muted version of this all-encompassing power, and the positions here are put into a 2-branch system, who have arguably semi-seperate juristictions.
The first of these roles is a Senator, who is the uncontested head of a division. Senators are appointed to the position by the Archduke themselves. Due to the nature of this role, there will be as many Senators as there are divisions. These Senators have the ability to make lasting decisions within the division they rule, but their jurisdiction in any other division is comparable to any regular citizen. These decisions, however, can be vetoed at any time by the Archduke. Any senator can be removed from office by the Archduke
The second role is a Parliamentarian, who works inside the T'anshilebi Parliament, and there are 12 Parliamentarians at any given time. Parliamentarians are elected by popular vote of the people, and are usually part of a political party. These individuals have jurisdiction over all of T'anshilebs, but the laws or projects they impose must be temporary, or they can propose these laws to the Archduke, who can instate the aforementioned law, or veto it completely. It is good to note that the Archduke can veto these temporary laws, named Dróeblaudebii, at any time.
Taking all of this into account, the political system of T'anshilebs can be best described as the rather confusing name of "Constitutional Autocracy."

Foreign Relations:
Vilantnen
Regarded as T'anshilebs' closest ally, Vilantnen has cooperated with T'anshilebs for most of their modern history. Instances such as the offer of Mziuri, the allowance of Vilantic trade vessels in T'anshilebi waters, and the joint unrecognition of the new breakaway state of Mziuri under Bavméźyn are all examples of specific instances of Vilantic and T'anshilebi history intertwining. Between this and the personal opinions of the heads of each country, sq and Lambda, opinions between these two ŋations are extremely positive.
Enkavak
Enkavak has been a valuable trade partner for T'anshilebs, along with being an excellent ally. The ability to acquire enchanted books freely with Enkavak through their trading hall has been incredibly helpful to the quality of life of T'anshilebs. Along with this, the Ńaq'óċi was inspired by the Glanga, and has the same diamond exchange rate. There are many examples of Enkavak being an inspiration to T'anshilebs, such as the aforementioned Glanga, an admiration for the wealth of Enkavak, and the infrastructure in the capital city, Alnangaemanaak.
Port of Eras
A close partner of T'anshilebs, the Port of Eras is a trade partner, one of few. The purchases by both parties, such as the Camel Purchase and the Sale of the Grand Palace, has created a net positive for T'anshilebs. Therefore, aid and 'favors' are sometimes sent to Port of Eras to repay them. Along with this and the cordial relations between Lambda and Fin, PoE is considered a great partner.'
