==== Woqalate of Yapokee ====

The newly-formed Woqalate was fully recognized by Qabór following the end of the Yapokee Wars. The country would be semi-integrated into the Qabóri sphere of influence as a vassal state, with less control over the land but with military and economic support. The Yapokee Woqalate consisted of modern-day Ceylonia, parts of southeastern Aracadó and Tawakee, the latter two of which would be considered jointly-administered territory with the neighboring Qabóri Woqalate. The Yapokee Woqalate was unique compared to the other Qabóri vassals, as the country’s leader could easily be removed via unilateral decision from the Qabóri Woqalate, which had actually occurred numerous times throughout the Yapokees first few decades as independent. A prime example of this was in 1445, when, while the Yapokee Wars were still raging on with Qabór switching to the Yapokee side to fight off a coalition of other tribes, the then-~~Woqala~~, [[Kapina II]], had attempted to distance the country from Qabór, attempting to give it full autonomy without the need for economic/military support. Close a week after she begun the process, the Qangreč immediately had her removed from the throne, and replaced with a Qabóri puppet royal dynasty, the [[House of Tukiseeta]].

For most of its existence, the Yapokee Woqalate remained relatively stable and unchanged in territory. After the Yapokee Wars had ended, numerous agreements and treaties had allowed the various tribes of the land to coexist with one another, however there was an intense power dynamic between the Yapokee, who were in power, and the remaining tribes. In 1501, The Yapokee leadership drafted, signed, and ratified the first [[1501 Yapokee Constitution|constitution]] in Ceylonian history, which was basically regarded as a memo on how powerful the Yapokee truly was. One of the articles in said constitution flat-out prevented any of the other tribes from taking power, which unsurprisingly angered the general populace of the country. Despite their anger, there was not much that could be done, as the Yapokee leadership had the much more powerful Qabóri Woqalate on their side, and this made any uprising all but impossible. Towards the end of the 14th century, the Yapokee’s incompetence became a lot more apparent. In 1577, at the discretion of Qabór, the government had made their language, Yapokee, the official language throughout the entire country. Before this, there was no official language, as there were probably fifty different tribal languages spoken in different areas of the country. This move once again enraged the entire populace, who flat out refused to learn Yapokee, as the overly complicated grammatical and vocabulary structure of the language made it extremely difficult to do so.
