Ohynso is named as a neighbour by both Nasun and the Hihn Confluence in canon and has no entity. The spatial data gives it the detail that defines it: Ohynso borders the Empire of Revakgol. It is the western cluster's frontier with the largest military power in the known world.

The thesis

Every other country in the cluster survives by being useful, neutral, or not worth taking. Ohynso cannot use any of those — it faces an empire that has already invaded Namuzdus twice for a resource Ohynso does not even have. So its institution is the Standing Withdrawal: a continuously maintained, publicly known plan for its own abandonment. Every village has a designated fallback, a named receiving village inland, a cached stock, and a rehearsed season for the move. The duchy drills it.

The consequence is a culture that has organised four centuries of civic life around the assumption of eventual loss, and a strategic posture that is genuinely difficult for Revakgol to attack profitably — you cannot capture a population that has already agreed where it is going, and the granaries burn on a schedule.

This is the deliberate counterweight to the Tovo package (filed separately), where the neighbouring frontier duchy chose accommodation instead. The two are written as a matched pair and read best together.

Items

1. country entity — The Duchy of Ohynso. The Standing Withdrawal, the Warden's ledger, the deliberately impermanent built environment, and a frontier society that treats its own territory as expendable and its people as not.

Open questions for the human reviewer

• Naming — resolved, and it turned up something else. An earlier version of this package flagged Kaetijul vs Kaetijulhel as a canon inconsistency. It is not one: -jul is simply the short form of -julhel, so both are correct and the country files just use the long form. This package uses the long form to match its siblings. The real gap the investigation surfaced is that Yukejulhel has no species entity at all — unlike Medesjul, Kaetijul, Jaajul, and Aedhelirjul, it is a Julhel branch named across four canon country files with nothing behind it. That deserves its own package.
• I have not written a specific Revakgol invasion of Ohynso into canon — the duchy's history is written as pressure, raids, and one near-miss, leaving room for you to place a real war here if the timeline wants one. If a Revakgol–Ohynso war should exist, this entity should be revised rather than the event invented around it.
• The inland receiving villages imply a formal arrangement with Aalhotikyn and Nasun that I've gestured at but not specified. If the Withdrawal has treaty status in the cluster, that's a Nasun-archived document worth its own item.
