'''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 [[Yonderian Kestrel Isles|Kestrel Isles]] of the [[Vandarch]] Sea form a seperate Grand Barony directly under the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]]. Yonderre neighbours [[Faneria]] and [[Hendalarsk]] 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]].

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]].

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.
