Stenya, a sparsely populated nation on Tancho's northern hemisphere. For centuries there was nothing remarkable about this land, aside from the constant snowfall. However, the geothermal conditions which made it impossible for most plant life to grow enabled Stenya to have a space on the world stage.

It was around the middle of the 19th century some of Tancho's more "advanced" nations began using primitive battery technology to weather the uncertainties of the extreme north and extreme south climates. Factories and whole neighborhoods needed something more efficient to charge up their units. At this time the only options available were wind power (still in it's infancy) or drawing from the planet's near non existent oil reserves. (Everyone believes there were other sentient lifeforms on Tancho before the advent of recorded history but the fossils say otherwise.)
