Nyatol (Lestzi: nĵatol, Njatol [ˈnʲa.tuɫ]), officially the Principality of Nyatol, is a city state located in southern Soltenna. With an area of only 210.3km2, it is the second smallest sovereign country on Sahar after Yorudbynbad, and borders Bosato to the south and Zaizung to the north.

Nyatol became part of the Letzian Empire in 1835, though it remained largely under the control of the Duchy of Gshons. The Akulanen War of 1881-87 led to a combined Leszti-Shohuanese defeat of Terminia, resulting in the independence of Bosato and a boost to Nyatol’s then-struggling economy.
