==Origins and Etymology==
{{Shirerithian article}}


Yardistan was the last island of the Yardistani Archipelago to be named, long after Mirioth and Istvanistan. It was "invented" by Stjepan Aracic, who donated a corner of his backyard to Shireroth; Shireroth decided to make it a formal territory under the name "Yardistan", and Erik's friend Nick (later Nick the Yardistani) was appointed its governor. In order to add to its holdings, Yardistan began annexing everything in sight, leading to the infamous "Yardistani Annexation Corps" and anti-Yardistani rioting in Jasonia. Eventually, Yardistan settled down as a Shirerithian Duchy and was given the isle that now bears its name.
