The Theocracy of Tadel

Die Theokratie von Tadel or The Theocracy of Tadel is a nation fiercely ruled by the iron grip of the Silent Church. A strict caste system governs the lives of its 24 million inhabitants, making it the one of the smallest populated countries of the known world, second only to the Adarmac.

Etymology
Tadel was previously known as Theowyn, an amalgamation of the Greek Τheos (Θεός), meaning "God" with the Welsh Gwyn (Weiß), meaning "white" to thus represent purity and purge under the moonlight.

The name was later changed to Tadel, meaning "censure" or "rebuke" in modern German. Despite the change, the nation is often still referred to as Theowyn in speech.
