Yimmu-Audal

Geography and Foundation:
A Link to the Current Build Progress: Geshem Peninsula and Greater Yimmu-Audal Area on DynmapYimmu-Audal is a partially thalassocratic nation, governed by an Imperial Monarchy elected by a council of elders. Most of the nation is located on the Geshem Peninsula, in the desert, surrounded on 3 sides by a warm ocean called the Geshem Gulf, an extension of the Sea of Pearls. The nation's capital and largest city is Urnu-Arrak. Many of the Empire's other cities are located within Yimmu-Audal Proper, however several distant dependencies and faraway towns also exist as a part of the nation.

Yimmu-Audal holds a military alliance with the Valdreach Imperial Republic (VIR) and maintains a close diplomatic alliance and economic ties to its former city of Ardat, 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.

Yimmu-Audal is the successor state to the former Jagdasian Empire of Yimmu Audal, destroyed in Apocalypse and forced to relocate. Originally in Jagdas, the Empire was founded from the city of Shyr-Arrak by then Lugal StoryStudio with the help of the first Chief Diplomat CRAZYCHAOSCALEB on August 17th, 2020.

Originally meaning, "The Many Islands" in the language of the Jagdasian Island of Shyr-Arrak long extinct ancient inhabitants, the Empire's name has become ironically disassociated with its islander history following many of the Empire's inhabitant's migration to Rathnir.

Situated many kilometres away from cluster of Yimmu-Audal Proper settlements, run by Neothlic94, the Twist of Fate town maintains a decentralized connection to the Empire of Yimmu Audal in which Neothlic94 remains a nobleman within the capital Urnu-Arrak.

Infrastructure:
Yimmu-Audal has an extensive road system, connecting many of the towns stretching from the Social Audal Union to Eldai Adadi. It also has the Geshem Canal, connecting the Sea of Pearls to the Atsyllean Sea (Aka Phagosian Sea).

Former Cities and Towns:
Ardat Mosul (Formerly)

Ardat Mosul is a former Yimmu-Audalad colony on the continent of Ummarnu. The town, however, originated north of the spruce forest east of Urnu-Arrak.

Lumaire (Utmmerai-Atulud Formerly)

Lumaire is a former Yimmu-Audalad colony on the continent of Sørgliste, in the south. The town soon after colonization gained independence as the Grand Republic of Lumaire, adopting Soleannen in the process.

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 Audaladae. Shortly after, the attacking force left the city, having taken a full netherite set as reparations from Turtlonia.

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

The Last Bastion Coronation:
On the 26th of October 2020 at 7:00PM EST, the coronation of Harbardr was held at The Last Bastion. The ceremony was held due to the philosophical belief of the previous Emperors Blue Marble and StoryStudio that having the power of the throne for too long would compromise his morality, and also due to his belief that Harbardr was a worthy leader capable of carrying on the spirit of Yimmu-Audal. Indeed, in his opening speech, Harbardr stated,

"In Yimmu-Audal we have a saying. Power with one is dangerous, power with many is pointless, but power with 2 is balanced."

As his first act as Emperor, Harbardr appointed the role of Chief Diplomat to O6dity, due to their "dedication.. devotion... (and) initiative.." and valuable labor in building the fortress of the Last Bastion.

There were speeches given by Blue_Marble, Harbardr, and StoryStudio, all praising the hard work and dedication of every citizen of Yimmu-Audal, and promising "a glorious and bountiful future".
