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. | The title of ''Most Serene Grand Duchy'' was conferred on Yonderre by Pope Gregory XIII in 1574 following lengthy negotiations.

Yonderre is situated immediately on the historic border between [[Ultmar]] and [[Catholic Levantia]] and has enjoyed a status as a mercantile crossroads between the two since at least the Bronze Age. The western border of Yonderre shared with [[Eldmora]] runs along the [[Donne River]], while the eastern border with [[Anglei]] is made up of the [[Avonne River|river Avonne]]. Yonderre shares a border southwardly with [[Carna]] across the [[Gebirre mountains]]. The [[Kestrel Isles]] constitute a Grand Barony directly under the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] and are situated immediately north of mainland Yonderre as part of the [[Vandarch Archipelago]]. | |||

The Yonderian monarch is the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre|Grand Duke]]. Yonderre is an elective Grand Duchy with elections held immediately following the death of the incumbent Grand Duke. The resultant election is the traditional vote between the nine [[Counts of Yonderre]], one of which ultimately ascends to the status of Grand Duke. Below the Grand Duke is the the [[Yonderian Parliament]], a unicameral national legislature headed by the [[Grand Steward of Yonderre]]. Established in 1833, it meets in [[Gillaumebourg]] in central [[Collinebourg]]. | |||
The Parliament passes all laws, approves the cabinet, and supervises the work of the government. It is also responsible for adopting the state's budgets and approving the state's accounts. As set out in the [[Yonderian Constitution]], the Parliament is directly subordinated to the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] who wields executive power to veto and overturn laws passed by government. In practice, however, the Grand Duke seldom interferes in the work of the parliament. The Parliament consists of 179 elected representatives. General elections must be held every five years, but it is within the powers of the Steward of the Realm to ask the monarch to call for an election before the term has elapsed. On a vote of no confidence, the Parliament may force a single Minister or the entire government to resign. | |||
In accordance with the [[Yonderian Constitution]], legal power is split three-way in Yonderre; executive-, legislative- and judicious power. The executive power is wielded by the [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]], on whose behalf civil servants and the [[Custodes Yonderre]], the Yonderian national police force, maintains law and order. The legislative power is wielded by the [[Yonderian Parliament]]. Judiciary power is wielded by the courts of Yonderre. | |||

The [[Yonderian Defence Force]] is the military of the Most Serene Grand Duchy Yonderre. The primary arm of the Yonderian Defence Force is the ground force, which also operates the [[Army of the Air]] and the [[Marine Yonderre]]. The ground element of the Yonderian Defence Force consists of ten standing divisions divided into two corps, the [[Grand Ducal Guard Corps]] and the [[Second Corps of the Army]]. In adition, the Yonderian Defence Force also operates a further ten skeletonized divisions, brigade-sized units intended to be mobilized from reserves and combat ready within three days in case of national emergency. Yonderre's official policy states that a wartime military strength of 580,000 personnel constitutes a sufficient deterrent to exterior aggression. The army consists of a highly mobile field army backed up by local defence units. The army defends the national territory and its military strategy employs the use of the heavily forested terrain and numerous lakes to wear down an aggressor, instead of attempting to hold the attacking army on the frontier. | |||
The [[Army of the Air]] operates some 275 fixed-wing combat aircraft divided into 21 wings as well as a similar number of logistical aircraft. The Army of the Air also operates an arsenal of combat helicopters as well as search and rescue helicopters. The [[Marine Yonderre]] is the Navy of Yonderre and operates two [[Sentinelle-class amphibious assault ship|''Sentinelle''-class helicopter carriers]], four [[Vigilante-class frigate|''Vigilante''-class frigates]], six [[Infatigable-class corvette|''Infatigable''-class corvettes]] and a wide array of smaller support and auxillary ships. The Marine Yonderre is also the administrating body of the [[Grand Vandarch Canal]]. | |||
The Yonderian Defence Force is committed to peacekeeping operations worldwide and has been in the Pukhtun Sea as part of [[Operation Khyzer Rhykh]] since 2010. The Yonderian Defence Force has been an active party in [[the Deluge]] since 2016, the [[Army of the Air]] having led a succesful air campaign against Algoquonan militias in [[Operation Mission Shield]] and all YDF branches having fought as part of the later [[Operation Western Blizzard]]. The Yonderian Defence Force was also directly involved militarily in [[Cetsencalia]] and [[Quetzenkel]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], fighting on land, air and sea. | |||
