Yorudbynbad was first settled by fishers, thousands of years ago, and eventually became a stopping place for traders as well. Once the age of sail began, the value of its deep, sheltered harbor was quickly recognized (and fought over). Long a lawless haven for pirates, Yorudbynbad was nominally under the rule of whoever was ruling Barradiwa for most of its history. It received its independence as part of the aftermath of the GEW, probably because Barradiwa didn't want to take responsibility for it anymore. It promptly became known as a haven for fugitives from justice, drug and weapon smuggling, and general decadence.

==Geography==
Located on the very tip of the Yorut Peninsula, Yorudbynbad is just over 100 square kilometers. It is surrounded to the north, east, and west by the [[Parshita Sea]], and borders Barradiwa to the southwest. The land is generally flat, with some larger hills inland; the coast historically was steeper, but was flattened as the city expanded. Some of this land still protects the deep port that has made Yorudbynbad rich.
The area is known for its good, deep port, as well as beautiful white sand beaches and nearby coral reefs.

It has frequently been accused of collaborating with smugglers, slavers, and organized crime, although these accusations have been soundly denounced by the council.

Much of Yorudbynbad's economy is powered by foreign investment, thanks in large part to its low effective corporate and individual tax rates.

In addition, the nation offers intense banking secrecy for financial transactions that occur within its borders.

Over the years, regional governments (including Barradiwa, paradoxically Yorudbynbad's most important ally) have pressured Yorudbynbad to be more financially transparent, particularly with transactions by foreign investors, and to take firmer steps to counteract money laundering.

Yorudbynbad (Yerutian: Yerutbínbát), officially the X of Yorudbynbad, is an independent city-state located in central northern Baredina, specifically at the very tip of the Yorut Peninsula which otherwise belongs to Barradiwa.

Etymology

History

Yorudbynbad was first settled by fishers, thousands of years ago, and eventually became a stopping place for traders as well. Once the age of sail began, the value of its deep, sheltered harbor was quickly recognized (and fought over). Long a lawless haven for pirates, Yorudbynbad was nominally under the rule of whoever was ruling Barradiwa for most of its history. It received its independence as part of the aftermath of the GEW, probably because Barradiwa didn't want to take responsibility for it anymore. It promptly became known as a haven for fugitives from justice, drug and weapon smuggling, and general decadence.

Geography

Located on the very tip of the Yorut Peninsula, Yorudbynbad is just over 100 square kilometers. It is surrounded to the north, east, and west by the Parshita Sea, and borders Barradiwa to the southwest. The land is generally flat, with some larger hills inland; the coast historically was steeper, but was flattened as the city expanded. Some of this land still protects the deep port that has made Yorudbynbad rich.

The area is known for its good, deep port, as well as beautiful white sand beaches and nearby coral reefs.

Government

Yorudbynbad is nominally ruled by a hereditary monarch, but real power rests in the hands of the monarch's advisory council, a mixture of semi-nobility and businessmen. The council is in theory elected by citizens and permanent residents, but elections are tightly controlled by the wealthy, thus making the nation democratic only in the vaguest sense.

Foreign relations

Due to its tiny size, Yorudbynbad relies heavily on Barradiwa for support, protection, and legitimacy. The relationship is often strained, however, due to the criminal activity and smuggling that abounds in the nation. In an attempt to protect the relationship, the Yerutian government has made efforts in recent years to curb the amount of smuggling heading south over the Barradiwan border, although plenty of illegal goods still pass through its port.

The Yerutian Defense Corps (YDC) is the armed force of Yorudbynbad. Its primary role is in border control (e.g. curtailing of smuggling), patrolling the coast, and providing security for the monarch and council. The YDC has approximately 1200 members. It has frequently been accused of collaborating with smugglers, slavers, and organized crime, although these accusations have been soundly denounced by the council.

Much of Yorudbynbad's economy is powered by foreign investment, thanks in large part to its low effective corporate and individual tax rates.
