Yimmu-Audal holds a military alliance with the Valdreach Imperial Republic and maintains a close diplomatic alliance and economic ties to its former city of Ardat Mosul, which was granted independence due to economic and political interests, as well as its rather far way geographic location from the capital city of Urnu-Arrak.

Socialist - Yimmu Audal Union State:
Following the establishment of the Socialist Utopia across the Geshem Bay from Urnu-Arrak by the Yimmu-Audal citizen DrLunkin on the territorial claims of the Empire, a Union government was established between the town now called the Social Audal Union, and the capital government in Urnu-Arrak guaranteeing the creation of a joint economic community with and Imperial protection for the Social Audal Union, but establishing the total sovereignty of the Social Audal Union in all other respects.

The plan was proposed by Chief Diplomat Interregnum Council of Elders member StoryStudio and was swiftly agreed to by DrLunkin, the socialist leader due to DrLunkin's original status as an Urnu-Arrak citizen.

Emperors, Chief Diplomats, and Leaders of Yimmu Audal:
The position within the Empire of Yimmu Audal include the Emperor, Chief Diplomat, Head Tactician, Nobleman, and Citizen.

The two highest tier positions responsible for ceremonies and Empire-wide diplomatic policies included the Emperor, and the Chief Diplomat respectively. The Emperor makes decisions, but not without the advice of the Chief Diplomat, who keeps the Emperor in check to prevent tyranny and carried the same administrative authority as the Emperor. The Tradition of peaceful succession from Emperor to Emperor was created by the first Jagdasian Emperor StoryStudio and Chief Diplomat CRAZYCHAOSCALEB to help set a standard for the nation and keep Yimmu Audal strong by continually having a new leader that was active and able to pursue new ambitions.

Due to the much more militaristic and conflict-ridden history of Rathnir, the previous Yimmu-Audalad position of Commander of the Imperial Guard had been expanded to be less ceremonial and to include more direct military powers, becoming Supreme Commander and Head Tactician of Yimmu Audal. The first player to hold this title was designated to be TheRealJay2 at the recommendation of the first Jagdasian Emperor and Cultural Architect of Yimmu Audal, StoryStudio.

Yimmu Audal-Etscharien War:
Yimmu-Audal alleged that during The Poaching of Turtlonia, Etscharien forces had taken netherite from the city while looting, and demanded that it be returned. Etscharien replied that they had done no such thing, and did not possess the netherite in question. The forces of Yimmu-Audal began go towards the city in an attempt to take back what was rightfully theirs and meant as reparations for the Turltonians.

Yimmu-Audal Mobilizes:

Forces from Yimmu-Audal began sailing across the sea to the inner western coast of Nieden, and crossing the continent to the city of Kaiserslicht, where Etscharien and independent forces had amassed in the city's castle, Schloss Falkenstein. As the forces of Yimmu-Audal approached, the Kaiser stated that in entering Etscharien territory, Yimmu-Audal had declared war. The leader of the Yimmu-Audal forces, Blue_Marble ordered his men not to attack unless provoked, adding that they were not seeking war, simply seeking what was rightfully theirs and meant as reparations for the Turtletonians. As they approached, Etsharien forces initiated fighting by firing down on Yimmu-Audal forces.

The Battle of Schloss Falkenstein:

Two Audaladae breached the central keep of the castle, where fighting continued, resulting in the almost complete loss of Etscharien forces. These two players were O6dity (IGN) / Dexter OG (DISC) and TheRealJay2 who killed the majority of ground forces, but more players from Yimmu-Audal trickled in as fighting continued. As the Etschariens massed within the castle, they continued fighting and hurling insults at the Audalians. Shortly after, the attacking force left the city, having taken a full netherite set as reparations from Turtlonia.

Yimmu-Audal and Etschlarian sources considered the battle a strategic Yimmu Audal victory. See: Etscharien-Yimmu-Audalian War.
