Following the 7PC Terrorist Attack on Nongba on the capitol, Yun Yan'il was elevated to temporary leader.

The YDF follows a Hangist Philosphy. Within the YDF, all citizens are required to attend a Mengmin twice within a 7 day week.

## History

The YDF was founded in the year 4993 (of the Hangist Calendar) under the name of the "Yotumic Confederation of Hangmeng" by Hangist leaders and Yotum Aristocrats. This was an oligarchy managed by 10 Mengmin leaders and 20 hangist Aristocrats. This confederation would swear that their rules only applied to Hangists in Yotum. However the Confederation was so well organized that the majority of people that In 5500 75% of people in Yotum said that the confederation was more trustworthy than any other human authority. Nearly all Hangists supported the confederation, around 60% of non-Hangists supported the confederation. Support waivered to as low as 10% in villages outside of Yumpa Tunga and Inlultana.

In the year 6000, The population of Hangists in Yotum reached 70%, about 17.5 thousand people of the 21 thousand in Yotum. In the year 6238, the congress of the Yotumic Confederacy declared that all of Yotum would be controlled by them, and that atleast 80% of non Hangists would have to regularly attend Mengmins within the next 30 year This ruling was contraversial among the non Hangists, however, the popularity of Hangism in Yotum made most of them too concerned to speak out against the new policy. Only one group of non hangists would formally protest this ruling, the powerful Kul family of Oltuhan. The congress decided to give the Kul family a 99 year exception to the rule.

In the year 6337, the Congress of Yotumic Confredation informed the Kul family that their 99 year grace period was over and that they would have to convert to Hangism before the next harvest. This infuriated the Kul family, resulting in them completely taking over agriculture and trade in the village of Oltuhan. Many citizen of Oltuhan supported this action due to Oltuhan having a Non hangist population of 70%. The Congress of the YCH was incredibly divided over what actions they should pursue. As Oltuhan was growing more Polbi than it consumed, the risk of a blockade or embargo causing famine was negligible, and caused concern among those in Towns such as Yumpa and Tunga where they rallied on the smaller villages to grow much of the food they needed. The possibility of using force to persuade Oltuhan into rejoining was considered too violent, and would break many rules of Hangism. The cogress would debate for weeks, over action.

On 6338/6/140, the campaign against hongtongula began. With 1500 Yotum soldiers and 1702 Yotum volunteer civilians entered the city of Hontongula. They outnumbered the 1040 soldiers remaining in Hongtongula and 2000 civilians willing to fight back. After 4 days, on Honghan the Pangin family surrendered the city of Hongtongula to the YCH.

In the year 8101 of the Hangist Calendar, 100 years before the start of the Nongban iron age, the Yotumic Confederation of Hangmeng conquered the rest of Nongba. Upon this event the YCH was renamed to the Yotumic Divisionary Federation and the beuracracy was reformed to increase efficency.

In the year 9808 the YDF contacted the outside, a year after the great storm cleared.

In the year 4 PC the YDF was pressured by citizens to close off all access to the other nations, due to fear of invasion.

In the year 4 PC the YDF claimed the Island of Ronatana without resistance. Soon after gaining control the island the YDF migrated all Tun’ilunhameng to the island as general laborers. The following year a wild fire raged through the entire island, believed to be an arson attack. All government officals and slave masters were evacuated, leaving the Tun'ilhameng behind, begining the Tun'ilhameng Crisis.
