In the Republic of Piatland, formerly the People's Republic (or maybe not,
considering the changes in Ill Bethisad history), before 1914 part of
the Triune Monarchy of Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania (which is why
the language of record is Court-Gothic, not Piat).
I don't think there's a specific English-language name -- not important
enough.
