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 Wars]], 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 the [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]] in the aftermath of the [[Second 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]].

The economy of Yonderre is a highly developed social market economy with state-ownership in strategic areas. The service sector has come to play a significant economic role, particularly the Yonderian food industry and tourism, though the country remains one of the largest arms manufacturers on the planet. With a gross domestic product of $6.287 trillion, Yonderre possesses the 13th-largest economy worldwide and the fourth largest economy in the Levantine Union, while it's GDP per capita ranks 3rd globally, after [[Cartadania]] and [[Caphiria]], at $62,040.56, by far the largest in the LU. It is the richest country per capita to not border an ocean.
Once a predominantly agricultural country on account of its arable landscape, a liberalisation of import tariffs in 1788 following the [[Second Potato War]] marked the end of mercantilism and further liberalisation in the ninetenth and the beginning of the tweentieth century established the Yonderian liberal tradition in international trade that was only to be broken by the [[Second Great War]]. Even when other countries raised protection for their agricultural sector because of increased [[Urcea|Urcean]] competition resulting in much lower agricultural prices after 1870, Yonderre retained its free trade policies as the country profited from the cheap imports of cereals (used as feedstuffs for cattle and pigs) and could increase their exports of butter and meat of which the prices were more stable.
Yonderian partially-state owned heavy industry conglomerate [[AMY]] had a 2025 annual revenue of [[Taler|₮]]44 billion while companies like [[Primo Kino]] and [[FRY|Federation Rasslin Yonderre (FRY)]] represent international entertainment powerhouses with revenuse of several billion [[Taler|Talers]]. Other notable companies include [[SuperNOVA]] (pharmaceudicals), [[Toubourg Brewery]] (beer and liqueurs), [[Chef Chev]] (restaurant), [[Willing Group]] (retail) and [[Banc Yonderresc]] (banking).

{{main|Yonderian culture}}
Yonderre shares strong cultural bonds with [[Burgundie]] from which many settlers emigrated from the fifteenth century and throughout the early modern period. Culture and the arts thrive as a result of the proportionately high amount of government funding they receive, much of which is administered by local authorities so as to involve citizens directly. Thanks to a system of grants, Yonderian artists are able to devote themselves to their work while museums, theatres, and the film institute receive national support.
