Republic of Womenyu

Once again, I named all the places on this map (except for the Terrific Ocean) using LangMaker software. The Republic of Womenyu is a relatively small coastal nation, roughly the size of New Jersey, with five provinces. It consists of a highly industrialized urban corridor in the northern provinces of Quenshi and Santac; heavily-developed beaches and resorts along the coastline of Chanzon and Manshut provinces; and a rather sparsely populated interior in Nilip, western Chanzon and western Manshut provinces, characterized by widely spaced cities and large tracts of farmland and grazing territory, with patchy woodlands accounting for a small percentage of the interior. The largest city is Zenzhoc in Quenshi province; the capital is Shenla in Chanzon province.

The climate is similar to that of the southeastern U.S., with mild winters and long humid summers. Snow occasionally affects northern and western areas in the winter, but average annual snowfall is less than 6 inches. An urban heat island combined with warm bay waters usually keeps snow out of the major northern cities. Tropical cyclones pose a threat in the late summer and autumn months.

The country is completely surrounded on land by the much larger Republic of Frékamorz. After centuries of fighting, primarily over access to Degazhu Bay, the two countries reached an uncomfortable détente early in the 20th century. Relations warmed in the 1950s and today the countries have a friendly diplomatic relationship, allowing for the kind of political stability needed to foster industrialization. Womenyu has greatly eased restrictions on Frékamorzian commercial access to the Terrific Ocean via the Mzotzmhegrzy River, Ninwequon River, and Degazhu Bay.

As you can see from the map, Womenyu and Frékamorz have highly different languages, and it is extremely difficult for Womenyuans to learn the tangled Frékamorzian language. Frékamorzians have difficulty with Womenyuan's peculiar grammatical structures. It has taken considerable effort for the two nations to surmount the language barrier that, for centuries, obstructed mutual understanding and peace. But they have achieved both.
