'''Yonderre''', officially styled as the '''Most Serene Grand Duchy Yonderre''' (Burgoignesc: ''Sérénissime Grand-Duché Yonderre'', Gothic: ''Serenistische Großherzogtum Yonderre''), is a nation in Levantia. Its capital is Collinebourg, which is also its most populous city. Yonderre consists of nine Counties that are divided into 72 Baronies, each of which further subdivides into munincipalities. The Kestrel Isles of the Vandarch Archipelago form a seperate Grand Barony directly under the Grand Duke of Yonderre. Yonderre neighbours Covinia across the Vandarch lake to the north, Hollona and Diorisia to the east, Anglei to the southeast, Søbjerg to the southwest and Hendalarsk to the west via the Kestrel Isles. Yonderre is a landlocked country but has access to the Kilikas Sea via the [[Grand Vandrach Canal]].

'''Yonderre''', officially styled as the '''Most Serene Grand Duchy Yonderre''' (Burgoignesc: ''Sérénissime Grand-Duché Yonderre'', Gothic: ''Serenistische Großherzogtum Yonderre''), is a nation in [[Levantia]]. Its capital and most populous city is [[Collinebourg]]. Yonderre consists of nine Counties that are divided into 72 Baronies, each of which further subdivides into munincipalities. The [[Kestrel Isles]] of the [[Vandarch Archipelago]] form a seperate Grand Barony directly under the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]]. Yonderre neighbours [[Faneria]] across the [[Vandarch]] to the north via the [[Kestrel Isles]], [[Hollona and Diorisia]] to the east, [[Anglei]] to the southeast, [[Carna]] to the southwest and [[Eldmora]] to the west. Yonderre is a semi-landlocked country on the [[Vandarch]] south coast, having access to the [[Kilikas Sea]] via the [[Grand Vandarch Canal]] which is administered by the [[Marine Yonderre]].


<small>The Green Knight</small>
Yonderre has been inhabited since at least 10,000 BC by [[Proto-Goths|proto-Gothic]] and [[Khovihnihk people|Khovihnihk tribes]]. The Bronze and Iron Ages were characterised by extensive contacts with other cultures in [[Catholic Levantia]] and [[Ultmar]]. Known as [[East Gothica]] to [[Great Levantia]], Yonderre became a crossroads of trade between [[Catholic Levantia]] and [[Ultmar]] around the late Bronze Age. The [[Great Gothic Migration]] which happened around the fall of the [[Great Levantia|Levantine Potentate]] in the late 6th century AD drove the [[Khovihnihk people|Khovihnihk tribes]] out of [[East Gothica]] in a matter of decades, afterwhich several attempts to form a centralized Gothic nation failed. The resultant wealth of independent or semi-independent Gothic nations coexisted mostly peacefully with its foreign neighbours albeit in a near constant state of internal turmoil until the latter half of the 15th century saw [[Conquest of East Gothica|East Gothica conquered by crusaders]] from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], establishing Yonderre as an autonomous marcher realm under [[Joanus de Martigueux]]. Yonderre's legitimacy was solidified by the ''[[Treaty for the guarantee of Joanus' Land]]'' signed with the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] in 1494.


<small>Personification of Yonderre</small>
Despite a largely succesful transition from the [[East Gothic faith]] to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]], settlers from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] raised ethnic and cultural tensions throughout the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The chiefly [[Bergendii]] settlers established new villages or became wealthy burghers in the new cities settled by the crusaders, while the indigenous Gothic population were entrenched in serfdom under their new Levantine Catholic nobility. Following a number of smaller uprisings, this ultimately concluded in the [[First Potato War]] (1556-1557) and the [[Yonderian Peasants' War]] of the mid-1640s, widespread uprisings throughout Yonderre both of which ultimately failed. Yonderre was the main combatant of the [[Likedealers]] during the [[Golden Age of Vandarch Piracy]] in the late 18th century, policing the south [[Vandarch]]. Yonderre had its final civil war, the [[Second Potato War]], between 1787-1788, which resulted in relaxed taxation and granted more rights to the peasantry. Yonderre prospered throughout the 19th century in what is known as the [[Yonderian Golden Age]], a time of exceptional creative production in the fields of culture and science. Yonderre persued a strict policy of neutrality throughout the [[Great War]], although more than 1.5 million Yonderians [[Yonderian volunteers to Burgundie in the Great War|served in the Burgoignesc Foreign Legion as volunteers]]. Yonderre joined [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]] in the aftermath of the [[Great War]] and the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] has partaken in numerous peacekeeping operations around the world since then, notably [[Operation Khyzer Rhykh]] and [[the Deluge]].

Yonderre emerged as an autonomous marcher realm in the mid-15th century following the conquest of East Gothica. Yonderre's legitimacy was solidified by the ''Treaty for the guarantee of Joanus' Land'' signed with the Holy Levantine Empire in 1494.


Yonderre is a member of the Levantine Union and the Talerzone and was a member of the Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association from 1958 until its dissolution and replacement in 2038 by the Levantine Union Defense Council, of which Yonderre is a founding member.
Yonderre is a middle power with a strong economy, having the world's second-largest economy by GDP per capita. A highly developed country, Yonderians enjoy a high standard of living and the country offers social security and a universal health care system, environmental protections, and a tuition-free university education. Yonderre ranks highly in most metrics of national performance, including education, health care, protection of civil liberties, democratic governance and gender equality. Yonderre is a member of the [[Levantine Union]] and the [[Talerzone]] and was a member of the [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]] from 1958 until its dissolution and replacement in 2018 by the [[Levantine Union Defense Council]], of which Yonderre is a founding member.


== Etymology ==
==Etymology and title==
Yonderre takes its name from the ''Treaty for the guarantee of Joanus' Land'' wherein the lands making up Yonderre are mentioned as ''Joanusterra'', "Joanus' land" from Latin ''Terra'', in reference to Joanus de Martigueux, the first Crusader Grand Count of Yonderre. The styling of the name was changed over time, with the more Burgoignesc-sounding ''Yoansterre'' appearing side-by-side with ''Joanusterra'' throughout the sixteenth century. The present spelling of the name is first documented in the early seventeenth century and is thought to have replaced the others almost entirely by time of the Yonderian Peasants' War in the 1640s.

The title of ''Most Serene Grand Duchy'' was conferred on Yonderre by Pope Gregory XIII in 1574 following lengthy negotiations. The Yonderian nobility had wanted the nation raised to the status of a Kingdom but due to stipulations in the ''[[Treaty for the guarantee of Joanus' Land]]'', Yonderre could not be made a Kingdom as it belonged to the Crown of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] de jure, despite the treaty having made Yonderre de jure autonmous and de facto independent in 1494.
