Verse:Hmøøh/Tumhan

Tumhan or the Republic of Tumhan (English: toom-HAHN; Naeng: fi Bintălisral Tumhan; Netagin: ne Vyračeg Tumhan) is a country in Bjeheond. The name Tumhan means 'the stirring/latent place' (tuMHaN) in Netagin, alluding to the volcanic geography of Tumhan. It's sometimes colloquially referred to as fi Tsărir Scuay Șir (the Great Gray East) in Windermere, alluding to its usually cloudy climate.

Anthem

Religion

Tumhan is one of the least religious countries in Tricin (comparable to Japan). Some researchers have dismissed the idea of religiosity as a non-useful tool in explaining Netagin society. Spirituality and worship are highly eclectic and personalized, and religious affiliation is an alien notion. While the vast majority of Tumhanian citizens follow Netagin animism, only some 2% identify as such in surveys, because the term is understood to imply membership of Netagin animist sects. Some people identify as "without religion", yet this does not signify irreligion. The "irreligious" is a specified identity which is used mostly to affirm regular, "normal" religiosity while rejecting affiliation with distinct movements perceived as extreme. Today, the term translated as 'religion' (ťebăř) has negative connotations for many Netagin, as it is associated with exclusivist groups which aggressively proselytise, or are perceived to be strange or foreign.
