History
Main Article: History of Yaszuma

The history of Yaszuma is divided into two base periods, Before First Unification (B.F.U.) and After First Unification (F.U.). The First Unification signifies the creation of the Proto-Yaszumatti State and the Third Unification signifies the creation of the Crownlands of Yaszuma in the year 441 F.U.

Starting as a union between the Yaszumatti Humans of Kaszara and the Umarín of Umakwa, the union would steadily expand across the region. Eventually incorporating the sky islands of Kinnomachi and finally the Lordship of Tetszo in the year 441 F.U., marking the official creation of the Crownlands of Yaszuma.

Government
The Tszunnatti or Government of Yaszuma is a constitutional monarchical system that places the Tszunna at the top of all affairs. The Tszunna willingly confines herself to a mostly diplomatic role but still has total power in the country.

Below the Tszunna is the Lusone who is the highest administrative position within the country. Other than the Tszunna's disapproval, the Lusone has nearly total administrative power within Yaszuma's borders.

Culture
Yaszuma is a cultural melting pot, blending traditional state buildings with the old teachings of dwarven architects in Tetszo and the ancient blueprints of long lost temples in the rainforests of Osziro. The federation emphasizes the preservation of knowledge and beauty of every culture situated within the state's borders.

Main Racial Groups
There are three main people groups in Yaszuma as of now: The Sky Elves, the Tetszo Dwarves and the Yaszumatti Humans. These three races live in unison and helped shape Yaszuma to what it is today.

Umarín
Main Article: Umarín

The Umarín are an elven group that split from the Celestial Elves hundreds of years ago. They created and adapted to live in the sky islands of Eldham and acquired a sometimes more sapphire-toned skin along with a shorter stature compared to the Celestial Elves. They are the smallest of the three main racial groups of Yaszuma, barely holding 10% or so of the nation's overall demographic composure, nearly all of them living in Umakwa and making up more than half of the city's population.

The culture of the Umarín places great emphasis on equality between social and racial lines, which they deem only achievable through respect. They serve Yaszuma as advisors, librarians and other scholarly practices but don't hesitate from involving themselves in other aspects of the state such as the now rising army.

One of their elven adaptations is hermaphroditism, the ability to change biological sex at will. This caused Umarín society to ditch any aspect of gender or gender roles, preferring individual gender expression than any kind of strict rules defining how everyone needs to look. This is why Umarín fashion is the most elaborate and diverse of any of the other races in Yaszuma.

Tetszotti
The Tetszotti are Yaszuma's dwarven race. They are the predominant species in Tetszo province and differ in appearance and attitude to any other kind of dwarf. They sport many other hair colors, elaborate facial hair designs and tend to incorporate greenery along with fierce armor into their daily outfits.

Like the Umarín, the Tetszotti initially arrived in Eldham at a similar date, choosing to call the large Tetszo mountain range their home. At first identical to any other kind of dwarf, after discovering Tetszo's beautiful underground ecosystem, they grew attached to it and began throwing away the industrial and polluting lifestyle of most dwarves.

Today they keep the same attitude as other dwarves when it comes to labor and wealth, but prefer to achieve equal amounts of wealth through greener means. They still operate vast smitheries and forges, but never forget to plant shrubbery and trees nearby in order to absorb the pollution. They can be described as the workhorses of Yaszuma, carrying the nation's industrial might on their backs and helping fund the state's military the most.

Humans
There are two distinct kinds of humans in Yaszuma, each growing separately from one another. The Kaszatti were one of the original species to form one of Yaszuma's predecessor states, while the Pirutti are the newest race to be incorporated into the Crownlands of Yaszuma.

Kaszatti
The Kaszatti are the largest racial group in the Crownlands of Yaszuma, originating from Kaszara province where they formed the Kingdom of Kaszara hundreds of years ago. They are an industrious people and renowned woodworkers and fishermen. For centuries they led a pescatarian lifestyle that eventually grew to influence the other Yaszumatti races to adopt fish into their diets.

Their skin is a caramel brown due to their homeland in Kaszara being a hot and arid environment. They can withstand great heat but are otherwise weak in the cold.

Pirutti
The Pirutti or Blessed Humans are the humans populating the city of Black Hollow are a distinct kind of human completely separate from the Kaszatti. They posses a nearly completely pale white skin color and have the least in common with the rest of the Yaszumatti peoples. They are the newest racial group to be included in the Crownlands of Yaszuma, officially being recognized by the government after the annexation of Piru in the year 567 F.U.

They are the only government approved racial group that is allowed to practice their own religion completely separate from Eriszetsu, Seekism. Seekism describes the Pirutti as the aforementioned Blessed Humans, able to outlive any other sentient being in Eldham, even the Tetszotti. The oldest Pirutti to date was up to 1345 years old, doubling the length of the existence of a united Yaszumatti identity.

Religion
Main Article: Eriszetsu

The state religion of Yaszuma is Eriszetsu. This religion worships the three gods of Netsukaru, Aniteren and Kirutawa, representing the three main racial groups of the country and believes in a spirit world that binds reality together. It focuses on self-improvement and purification along with a betterment of your environment and a strong connection to nature. Shrines devoted to Eriszetsu can be found all across the nation, the largest one being the shrine that can be found at the spawn of Umakwa. Eriszetsu shrines are usually lavishly decorated with elaborate stonework and are filled with every aspect of the natural world.
