The Realm of Western Corum (Pallisican: Ranalama del Wéazdeign Qurüma; Sangunese: 西コルム王国 Nishi Korumu Ōkoku) is an autonomous region of East Zimia and the Wallis Islands in western Corum. Established in 1746 AN, it is a successor to the Principality of Corum Electric.

History

In 1630 AN, Queen Evahn I of Passio-Corum decreed the establishment of a new regional investor, Corum Electric, responsible for supplying electricity to the non-Bassarid cities of Corum. Corum Electric subsequently operated as an autonomous regional investor in the Port of Vines until the collapse of the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union in 1719 AN. Two years later, the area was occupied by the forces of the nascent Kingdom of East Zimia and the Wallis Islands in Operation High Voltage, who established a small coastal enclave, the Principality of Corum Electric, surrounded by the Çakari princely state of Jaihabar.

Rising tensions with the Braxian League led to the evacuation of Jaihabur by Çakaristan in 1739 AN; the resulting security concerns prompted the construction of the Corum Electric Fence, a 432 kilometre defensive barrier extending along the principality's landward border with the Green. Although the fence was largely complete by 1744 AN, hawks within the local administration began to argue for an expansion of the protected area, with the aim of securing the coastal approaches to the principality and providing added strategic depth for the crucial energy production facilities. These arguments were given fresh urgency by the Corsair Resurgence of 1743-4 AN and the Oportian occupation of the neighbouring island, leading to East Zimia's subsequent intervention in the Battle of the Île des Ombres during the Fourth Euran War.
