Klatch

Klatch is a large multi-ethnic empire rimwards to turnwise of the Circle Sea. Its capital is Al Khali, and it includes outlying regions such as Hersheba and Syrrit.

Klatch is a commercial rival of Ankh-Morpork - the two had a brief war - and is also Morpork's closest source of 'foreign' (the Sto Plains not really being considered foreign). There is some cultural mistrust between the Sto Plains and Klatch, as evidenced by the phrase "Pardon my Klatchian" upon speaking a rude word, but Klatchians are technologically and scientifically far in advance of the Sto Plains.

The continent consists of that part of the Discworld's super continent that is rimwards of the Circle Sea. The difference between Klatch and the unnamed continent that Ankh-Morpork stands upon is arbitrary and cultural rather than geographically evident. The continent includes the Circle Sea states of Ephebe, Tsort, Djelibeybi, Omnia, and the more rimwards territories of Howondaland, Tezuman Empire, Betrek, Smale, Klatchistan, and Muntab.
