| '''Yardistan''' | | '''Yardistan''' ([[Yardistani]]: Iardista [jar'dis.ta]), sometimes known as the '''Isle of Yardistan''', is an island and county subject to the [[Emirate of Sathrati]]. |
| is one of the older duchies in Shireroth. It's formation as an official duchy was when Shireroth left the [[United Republic of Tymaria]], but it's history is far longer than that.

|
| == The Beginning of Yardistan ==
| | Historically, the term Yardistan referred to the larger group of islands comprising Sathrati, then known as the Duchy of Yardistan. The county has existed in one form or another since [[Shireroth]] left [[Tymaria]], making it one of the older territories in the Imperial Republic. Its history stretches farther back than that, into the days of [[Hegemony of Alexandros]]. It was famed for its unique culture and tradition of rebellion and annexation, an activity primarily undertaken by the old [[Yardistani Annexation Corps]]. |
| Since it's creation by [[Erik Metzler]] and [[Stjepan Aracic]], it has been a place of general insanity and political instability. It was first noted as an official body on 11 April, 2001, when the [[Hegemony of Alexandros]] annexed it. Prior to that, it was simply Erik running around and taking stuff from the former [[Flying Islands of Jasonia]].
| | |
| Stjepan came to visit, and when Erik asked him if he had anything to donate, Stjepan gave up several square inches of his back yard.
| | ==Geography== |
| Accordingly, the territory became known as "Yardistan".

| Stjepan was appointed as governor of Yardistan. As we was co-founder of [[Istvanistan]], his influence caused pieces of it's more unusual culture to be absorbed. He was considered the owner of the territory, and Kaiser Metzler I appointed him governor. Meanwhile, the famous [[Yardistani Annexation Corps]] was created by Erik, and under its name began stealing things in the name of the newly created territory.
| | |
| Soon after, [[The Color Rebellion]] started in response to the color layout on the Alexandros message board. It was the first [[Yardistani Rebellion]] to take place, but it basically ended when it was

| discovered that Erik was controlling the militaries on both sides of the conflict.
| | |
| == Nick the Yardistani ==
| | ==Demographics== |
| Stjepan became less active over time. A newer micronationalist called [[Gryphon Avocatio|Nick the Yardistani]] (who was annexed by the YAC) became active in Alexandros and saw the empty territory in which he resided as an opportunity to find his way in his new hobby. He asked [[Kaiser Metzler I]] for permission to control the territory, and it was granted, assuming that Stjepan would still be the owner.
| | |
| Under Nick's rule, the area quickly became a controlled anarchy. There was no formal law in Yardistan, but he was considered to be the [[Anarch]] of Yardistan.
| | |
| It was also Nick who started the [[Whit Rebellion]] in [[The Republic of Tymaria]] in response to [[Joe Whit]]'s mockery of the YAC. The rebellion brought about great turmoil in the nation which had just began to settle down. | | [[Category:Sathrati]][[Category:Islands]] |
| Nick the Yardistani later changed his name to [[Gryphon Avocatio]].
| |
| == Baronies == | |
| In order to give his most active citizen a reward for his activity, Gryphon created [[the Barony of Amity and Mirioth]] for [[Gregory Russell]]. The Barony was Yardistan's first. It also absorbed the
| |
| former Duchy of [[Straylight]], making it into a barony as well.
| |
| == Notable Yardistanis == | |
| Two [[Kaiser]]s have hailed from the island duchy, [[Kaiser Alejian I]] ([[Greg Russell]]) and [[Kaiser Wylþeow I]] (Gryphon Avocatio).
| |
| [[Kaiser Los III]] ([[Scott Alexander]]) can also be counted, though not originally from Yardistan.
| |
| Other former residents include [[Ari Rahikkala]] and [[Stjepan Aracic]].
