Yaxarhayut (IPA: /jakˈsɑɹ.hɑjut/, Yaharan: Yäksärhäyut IPA: /ˈjɑk.sɑɹ.hɑ.jut/, Yennodorian: Jaksáarhajut IPA: /jɑkˈsɑːr.hɑ.jut/), officially the Kingdom of Yaxarhayut, is a country located along the lower half of the river Yahara. It is bordered by the sea to the south and east, by the People's Republic of Heoroma to its north, and by the Kingdom of Yahara to its west. The nation by and large is known for its production of copper, iron, and steel, as well as its unusual culture.

Etymology

The name Yaxarhayut comes from the Province of Yaxarhayut, which was situated along the lower river Yahara. The name itself is believed to have originally been Zikish for Living [along] the river, a name that was applied first to a Zikish settlement along the mid river, and later extended to the entire lower bank of the river. The name was then used as the name of a Celehayar governate, which was transferred to an Imperial Duchy.

History

Geography

Mainland Yaxarhayut contains a variety of topographic environs. In the south of the nation, the land is craggy where it meets the sea and rises up into the plains of Klismenth, from which, going north, it drops into the Yahara River Valley. In the southeast of the nation is the unique Sithen swamp, a cold, wet, and dense area. Going north from the Yahara River Valley, the land begins to rise into the Tynda Foothills, from whence is mined the majority of Yaxarhayut's mineral wealth. In the west of Yaxarhayut are a series of flat plains, which meet the Upper Yaharan border in the south and fall into Lake Vyaungodenhara. In the northwest the border is drawn along a series of hills in the Tynda Foothills, dividing Upper Tynda (in Upper Yahara) from Tynda Proper. Following the Yahara River east, the land falls into a patchwork of low, rolling hills that drop into the sea. In Yaxarhayut's panhandle are located some of the most fertile lands in the nation, including the only vineyards in Yaxarhayut.


Climate

Because of Yaxarhayut's southern latitude, the annual variation in temperature in Yaxarhayut is almost non-existent. Temperatures are remarkably consistent, ranging from an average low of 5,3ºC to an average high of 13,8ºC. The record highs and lows for Yaxarhayut are, respectively, 29,5ºC and -21,0ºC. Thanks to said consistency in temperature, it is rare for the waterways of Yaxarhayut to freeze over, since it is rarely below freezing. In general, flora in Yaxarhayut is green year-round, and crops are grown in cycles, taking advantage of the parts of the year where the sun will shine for seventeen hours, and where it will shine for seven. This provides for a wide variety of native produce. In the summertime, the sun will shine, on the longest day, of seventeen hours, likewise in winter, on the shortest day it will shine for seven. Thanks to the warm water current that runs to the south of Yaxarhayut's shores, the bays are also kept relatively ice free, and it snows mostly only during the winter. It is common for it to rain up to one-hundred and twenty days a year, and to snow for twenty-five (thus there is an average of one-hundred and fifty-five days of precipitation of some description). Yaxarhayut is generally very wet, often dealing with waves of fog, with an average relative humidity of 80%.


Politics

There are three major political parties in Yaxarhayut as well as two minor political parties.

Slävøv Fäš tëmë Isënd Väc (People for the Old Way, also SFIV):

  (conservatism, right to far right): 86 seats (majority)
  This is the conservative party of Yaxarhayut. They have close connections with the National Church of Yahara, and tend to vote in favour of the aristocracy. They generally garner their seats from the eastern duchies and the city of Valeneni.

Házonuk Trunáomat (Party of the People, also HzT):

  (progressivism, left): 23 seats (in coalition with GdS)
  This is the liberal party of Yaxarhayut. They generally carry equal amounts of support across the nation, excepting the Duchy of Sithen.

GudädyäösdännSöbëx (Soul of the Revolution, also GdS)

  (pro-capitalism, small government, moderate right): 45 seats (in coalition with HzT)
  This party claims to be the successor to the coalition which swept Queen Alandya out of power during the Civil War (Dän Söbëx). It is extremely popular in the western regions of the nation, and generally votes moderately. It performs poorly in the east.

Kwotó Jumun Filitá újk jenuj Akâjinó (Party for Granting Rights to the People, also KJFA)

  (decentralisation, progressivism, independence, moderate left):16 seats (have not sat)
  This is a party dedicated to the devolution of rights specifically to the Quilaquisoutsians, but the Heöromas and Yaharans as well. They generally vote progressively, as well as in favour of a more representative democracy. They have introduced two bills in the last five years to dissolved the Chancel of Nobles and replace it with a new body whose members would be voted upon. They generally do best in the Duchy of Sithen.

Käös'mënVürgënšø (Party of the Cities, also KmV)

  (Kúúlist Party, far left): 10 seats
  This party generally votes left to far-left. They are most popular in the cities.

Government

Legislature

The Legislature of Yaxarhayut is comprised of two bodies: the hereditary Chancel of Nobles, and the elected Council of Delegates. Elections for the Council of Delegates occur every three years on 15 September, having started in 1843. As of the 2014 elections, the 57th Council took their seats, with the exception of those delegates whom are apart of the KJFA, who refuse to take the Oath of Loyalty, and thus do not sit. The Chancel of Nobles consists of two nobles each per duchy: the Duke of that duchy (or a substitute), and an Assistant. Each hold voting powers. The Council of Delegates consists of 180 seats, which are divided proportionally according to population amongst the duchies. Political parties take seats proportionally as well within their duchy.

Seats are assigned as such to the duchies: Hakalon: 21 Klismenth: 10 Sithen: 22 Terenarth: 26 Tynda: 37 Valeneni: 18 Vayonden: 25 Yítsmä: 21

Administrative divisions

The Kingdom of Yaxarhayut is broken into six duchies and one special administrative district. The duchies are as follows: Hakalon, Klismenth, Sithen, Terenarth, Tynda, Vayonden, and Yítsmä. The special administrative district is the capital, Valeneni. Each duchy is then broken down into counties.


Economy

Agriculture

Agriculture dominants much of the Yaxarhayutian economy, taking up 35-45% of its total GDP. A wide variety of crops are grown, ranging from vegetables such as potatoes (of which Yaxarhayut is the world's largest producer), turnips, carrots, cabbage, kale, and cauliflower to grasses such as rye, barley, and grass for hay. Traditionally, Yaharans have used the Yaharan Sloth as the local beast of burden, however, these were largely replaced by the yak in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and are rarely seen in Yaxarhayut today. Today, the yak can still be seen in use on most Yaxarhayutian farms, in flagrant defiance of the industrialisation the nation experienced at the beginning of the twentieth century.


Energy

The energy sector in Yaxarhayut is primarily based on the burning of coal, which is mined in the northern foothills of the country. However, in the duchies of Klismenth, Vayonden, and Terenarth, wind power has also gained popularity (producing 63%, 42%, and 55% of energy in those provinces respectively). The Administrative District of Valeneni is also an exception to the rule, taking 73% of its power from nuclear sources.


Demographics

Ethnic groups

Most Yaxarhayutians are either of Yennodor or Yaharan origin, with minorities of Quilaquisotsians, Heoromans, Hantruzans, and Fals. These minorities are generally concentrated in specific regions of Yaxarhayut, with Yaharans and Yennodors mixing throughout. Nearly all Yaxarhayutian Fals (99,96%) are found within the Duchy of Hakalon, where they are legally protected by the Concordant of Hakalon, likewise, nearly all Yaxarhayutian Hantruzans (98,96%) are found in Hakalon, where they make up the majority (72,33%) of the population. While substantial Yaharan populations exist throughout the country, they make up the majority of the population in the Duchy of Klismenth, as well as 49,50% of the population of the S.A.R. of Valeneni. Likewise, Yennodors dominate the rest of the country with the exception of Sithen, where Quilaquisotsians make up 89,43% of the population.


Education

Education in Yaxarhayut is based on a very similar system to its healthcare, also known as the Guild System, it runs in an almost identical fashion, with the exception that it is more heavily regulated by the state.

Healthcare

Healthcare in Yaxarhayut is based on a unique system, best translated into English as the Guild System. The Guild System functions without the use of money, rather functioning on donations and government subsidisation. The Guilds themselves are independent of the government, however, they are non-profit organisations, existing solely to provide healthcare. Each Guild is run by a Guildmaster, who acts as the head of the Guild, making important decisions. Below the Guildmaster are several other Masters, who run a set of departments. Below these Masters may sit other Masters, as well as Apprentices and Journeymasters.

Religion

Seventy-six percent of Yaxarhayutians have reported on the census that they are religious, of those, seventy-three percent reported themselves adherents to the state faith of Vadyashon, the traditional faith of Yahara.

Culture

Cuisine

The most popular drink in Yaxarhayut is tea, which is imported from nations in warmer latitudes. However, when it comes to locally produced drinks, a rye-alcohol product (similar to kvass) called ígëlstk or íikelsek is the most popular (though it is only second most popular overall).
