Yurki

Yurki became independent on 01/25/2022.
== History ==
=== The Eldham Migration ===
Yurki was a sovereign nation run by TbsDbs. At the time the small nation had an active population of 25. The people of Yurki got sick of bandits ravaging their land and craved a fresh start so they moved to new rathnir and founded Aristios. The nation of Yurki was sold to Viodoxa.
=== Colonial founding ===
Yurki was bought back by Aristios on 08/02/21. Aristios put Murdius in charge of governing the Islands. However, Murdius was inactive so the Islands didn't see much use during this time. Yurki was used to launch Military campaigns because of its good location.
=== Pre-Independence ===
After the successful coup in Aristios, Wize nifty was put in charge of the Islands. There was a total transformation of Sybada and it now has an active population. There are talks about Yurki becoming an autonomous territory inside of Aristios.
=== Independence ===
It was found out that Wize Nifty was trying to coup Aristios. Yurki was given independence, but Inverse told his Rathnir allies to tear him a part. An Oligarchy was put into place to keep and maintain order. Citizens like Billstr advocate against a Monarchy or an Oligarchy but something similar to the Iroquois. Wize justified the independence movement by saying 
"Yurki declared independence because we were wronged! We were harassed (called Ret*rds, Dumbasses, Cronies prior to any allegations), and sending other nations to attack us is a perfect example of this While the MINISTER OF JUDGEMENT: ANTI-CORRUPTION PILLAR (PERSON WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP US SAFE AND PREVENT CORRUPTION) who harassed us has since apologized it has come to my attention that they knew of our escapades while doing it and government officials joined on the same day before the person made an apology."
When it was announced that Yurki would become independent Wize set up a temporary government, made lore, and started to recruit. However, three nations Ozeanburg, Astyllea, and OBlock declared war on the pretense that they had an ethnic claim to the land despite having claim to the land for 9+ months while OBlock only had claims to it for 3+months. It was also decided that Yurki was in anarchy. However, Yurki had a government setup and an active population as well as government buildings. In conclusion, they didn't have a vali Casus Belli and many citizens in Astyllea knew this fact.
=== Yurki War for Independence ===
After countless sleepless nights Wize and Murdius recruited many new citizens to fight for them. The citizens set up defenses around Sybada setting traps and building a giant tower for defence. The people of Yurki managed to scramble a few diamond sets. The citizens also managed to get a few allies from other nations and Wize managed to stall for 2 weeks. While this was going on Murdius and Slime were setting up the groundwork for a new nation in Eldham. When the war date came only 10 people showed up out of the 20 people that claimed to show up leaving Yurki severely underdefended.
When the date finally came the citizens huddled in the tower looking down over the grand city they spent so long to build. They all gathered around Wize to hear his speech before they went into battle. Wize announced to the people who managed to get on in time for the war "We’re gathered here today for the defense of our great nation. We are fighting not just for Yurki but all the smaller nations that think they can’t defend against giant warmongering empires. We are fighting to give them a voice, to make a statement that we won’t take an invasion lying down. We will either triumph on the battlefield or die as martyrs for the good of all nations. We won’t let Sybada go down without a fight. By the end of the battle, I hope to see the Yurki flag shine high and bright in the sky flying over the crystal water of central Rathnir. I wish good luck to you all. May we all die with honor. AVE."
When the battle horns sounded all, many of the enemies flooded into the city of Sybada. First, they climbed up the walls then into the city then marched through the main street, and then finally climbed up into the tower. The people of Yurki managed to keep them out for a while, but were eventually overrun. In the end, the battle was won by the enemy nations in 20 minutes thus ending the Yurki war for independence.
== Geography ==
=== The Yurki Archipelago ===
Yurki is an archipelago made up of 8 different Islands. Yurki has a warm tropical-like climate making it an amazing spot for growing sugar cane. The Yurki Islands are located in the southern region of Alteniquia. Yurki borders no other nation because it is separated by a body of water.
== Culture ==
=== Cuisine ===
The people of Yurki enjoy a plethora of food supplied by their home nation of Aristios. However, some dishes are native to Yurki. One such dish is called Tropical Jam. The Sybada tavern is the only place in Yurki where you can get it as the recipe is a secret. Tropical Jam is a dish loved by many Yurki citizens.
=== Foundation Myth ===
The birth of Yürki is a tale that started from anger with the gods. The god Tortu a god of water and life visited the underworld with anger. He met with the ruler of the underworld Bagu in blindness as Tortu lost his vision due to his arrogance and power. He pleaded with Bagu to restore his eyesight but Bagu refused. In anger, Tortu said he'd regret that decision and left in agony and pain. Tortu went to his half-brother Liro who was the god of infinity. Liro hated Tortu through jealousy as Tortu can control all things that beings themselves can contain so-called life. And that's what made Tortu so powerful but the problem is that Tortu didn't realize how powerful he was. He didn't realize that he didn't need vision at all. Tortu had sensed that no being can experience and he was so blinded by his illusion that he thought of himself as weak. Tortu went to Liro for help to force Bagu for his vision Liro said no and banished Tortu from his land of the infinity with no name. It is said if you'd try to think of a name for his land that it will remove your memory making it possible for beings to go insane. Tortu went to the atomic realm called DeGra he went to look for the goddess Orea which was the distant cousin of the underworld god Bagu who she hated. Tortu found Orea in her chambers with her endless cries. Tortu explained his situation and Orea agreed to help Tortu as long as Tortu can give Orea a child. Tortu named the child Tebesede. It is said that Tortu gave his son that name as a seal to possibly replace the power of Liro and infinity. Tebesede gained ultimate power but was unknown of its existence due to the blindless power Tortu gave to him unknowingly. They entered the underworld to meet Bagu but Bagu knew of this and sent his giants I, Tortu formed his army and prepared for the big clash. The battle of the gods began. The battle went on for 20 years but it was the beginning of a great war. Tortu saw Bagu and went in unknowing that the enemy that would stop him was himself. Bagu and Tortu began for a duel Tortu had the upper hand and was winning. but Tortu used part of his unknown power. Tortu shocked became distracted as Bagu went to swing as Bagu hit Tortu his power extended and blasted Bagu to his chambers. Tortu disappeared into nothing unknowing anything with and without senses unctuous but while being in a cautious state. Forms of Tortu in avatars kept the war going while Tortu his in a new sense of reality and sense. Tebesede's mother Orea noticed that without Tortu Tebesede was falling in power. She mutated his form into another avatar from Tortu. this created a new being in the regular world. it was no man nor animal. An unreachable being in the middle of the ocean for 80 days. This being formed into a human. Tebesede's new name became Tbsdbs. Naked in the middle of the ocean he swam for 50 days finally finding an island which he found wood to make a boat. he went on his boat for another 20 days experiencing death twice. He finally ended up on an island and created a hut. Eventually, two other forms appeared to him as his cousins. Together they made a castle. This castle would be what shaped the capital city of Yürki named SyBada. Tbsdbs was raided multiple times by bandits. In anger, Tbsdbs formed a massive wall in under 4 days some areas were almost thirty blocks deep 7 blocks thick plus 7 blocks above water with multiple towers. Tbsdbs and his cousins were met by many people who lived around the Yürki islands. This transformed SyBada into a beautiful city. Bandits kept coming and every time Yürki repulsed the bandits. There are now many cities in Yürki continuing of the gods of Tortu. But for Tortu his journey was just beginning.
