Yugatoro

The Yugatoro flag

The Great Republic of Yugatoro, or just simply Yugatoro, is a nation located on Earth, bordered by the Kuren Village, Inoue Village, and Ostaria. The nation can be best described as a mix of Asian and American cultures. Additionally, it is the most prosperous nation on Earth, despite its measly territory. This is because Yugatoro has focused on building its nation through peace and prosperity, rather than wars and territorial gain, the only exception being in ancient times when Yugatoro was a warrior based society.

## History

Around 1500 BC, Yugatoro first came to be as a warrior society. During this time, their capital was Togazu, home to the Bloodgrounds, a colosseum which was a important symbol to the nation, as many fights to the death were held there as part of the trial to becoming a warrior. Yugatoro also commonly invaded and ravaged neighboring nations and tribes. This is why a minority of Animalions reside in Yugatoro: their nation was annexed.

As 1000 BC came around, a civil war broke out in Yugatoro over a dispute of who should hold the power in the country. The civil war lasted for many decades, ending in 970 BC. By the time the war ended, Yugatoro had been shattered, with its infrastructure and population decimated, including the loss of its capital. This led to Yugatoro doing a complete 180, hoping to not repeat the mistakes of the past: focusing on achieving prosperity for its people, becoming isolationist, and proclaiming a new name: The Great Republic of Yugatoro.

In the years that followed, Yugatoro became a rich nation with little to no traces of its past as a brutal warrior society, despite a few hurdles along the way. The only military actions they take being peacekeeping operations. To the rest of the world, it is now viewed as a shining beacon of hope: the ideal nation.
