Republic of Tarrland
The Republic of Tarrland or Tarrland (In Graecian: Δημοκρατία της Ταρρίας; Dimokratía tis Tarrías; Ταρρία, Tarría, for short) was a short-lived self-proclaimed state in the area of the former Elwynnese base of Kaamiozyr. After mid-1692 AN, following two months of hard fighting (1.VIII.1692 – 8.X.1692 AN) during the Second Elwynnese Civil War, it had exclusive control over the station and its vicinity, and was de facto an independent state.
The goal of the Republic of Tarrland was for it to be a homeland of the scattered Tarr people, the first time in history that the Tarr nation would be joined as a majority in a country ruled by themselves.
Its population comprised almost exclusively of the Tarr. Its first and only president was Rusty who was put to death following the reoccupation of Station Kaamiozyr. Declarations by Keltia Command date the dissolution of the "illegal Republic of Tarrland" to the date of the death of its single leader, which took place on 9.II.1694 AN. Then, Elwynnese forces began killing each and every Tarr found in the vicinity of the former base.
Thereafter, the Republic of Tarrland lived on in a government-in-exile consisting of 5 people in the Republic's embassy in Rusjar, Zeed. During that period the president of the government-in-exile of the Republic of Tarrland was Ambassador Blueball Charlie. This individual, and his colleagues, were arrested in 1701 AN as part of the Armistice Convention between Zeed and the Raspur Pact which ended the Third Euran War.
