## Early life

Yapyap was born on June 3rd 2081, his father was Prince Yapflip the grandson of Flipyap II and his mother was a unnamed mistress who Yapflip became notorious for fathering 6 different children with 6 different mistresses. He had a older brother Paul and older sister named Mary. King Flipyap pleased with the naming and took Yapyap to a play area when he was 3 to win his trust it worked and Yapyap became a very formal and well mannered. He admired his great great grandfather Yapyap I of Gruntland who he idolized and liked to dress like him wearing the red outfits and colonial hats he loved. He was known to enjoy pornographic magazines and eat dog meat at 11pm. When he was 8 King Flipyap was assassinated and his grandfather Yapyap II of Gruntland became king and gave Yapyap a giant grunt berry that he enjoyed.

## Teenage years

As the 2090s began Relations with Yapyap and his older brother Paul worsened because of his dog sympathies and his hatred of Unggoy name's. He often would just lay in the bath tub for hours on end relaxing and during this time he began making post cards and selling them to people and become very popular for doing so. In 2095 King Yapyap died and YapYaps father became Yapflip the II who became known for being a very unpopular king. Paul tried digging up even more dirt on Yapflip so much that Yapflip would have a mental break down but that never happened. Yapyap was a close adviser to Yapflip and Yapflip hated Paul so much he wanted to make Yapyap his successor but died before doing so.

## Heir presumptive

Yapflip the II died of a heart attack on April 4 2101 leaving the throne too Paul but for the first time since 2019 there was a heir presumptive to throne. Because Paul had no children at the time of his accession Yapyap was the heir to the throne. Paul’s first act was abolishing slavery this freed the slaves a Yapyap had inherited because the inheritance went to him because of Paul’s opposition to slavery many people rioted. Yapyap began condoning attacks on pro Paul officials but the worst thing came in 2106 when a bunch of protesters went in front a homeless shelter with dogs inside and former slaves they held torches the military got involved and shot 62 protesters. After hearing of the protest Paul sign a law making boarders open with Gruntland and Dogmerica meaning citizens of both country's could enter without a pass port. Dogs moved into homes many were allowed to move into the heir palace which was the residence of the heir apparent/presumptive Yapyap had began taking care of children there and became worried that the dogs would attack so he got a team to exterminate them he and others poisoned their water and in a week all the dogs died. During Paul’s reign he reduced his power but that came back to bite him and past laws out lawing dogs being able to live in homes and put them in a slaughter house. 100,000 dogs were slaughtered to Paul’s disgust. In late 2107 Paul announced his girl friend was pregnant with a boy. This frightened many hoping for the child too die or be still born or be miscarried. Yapyap made political cartoons portraying Paul as a perverted rapist and pedophile because his girl friend was 7 in 2107. Yapyap hoped these would cause her to miss carry the child but it did not happen and the child was born in February 2108 and was named George. The last straw was when the child survived more than 9 months and when Paul barred YapYap and his descendants from inheriting the throne in mid April 2109 people began protesting and soon turned violent and the military got involved but mutinied and joined the rebellion Yapyap joined them and entered the castle and forced Paul to abdicate and named Yapyap his successor. It was April 18th 2109.

## Reign

The first question was what to do with the deposed Paul. He was out under house arrest and after days of thinking he decided to execute him more specificity use the guillotine. On April 25 Paul was beheaded and now Yapyap stood in front of everyone as Yapyap the III. He was coronation the following day wearing similar clothing as Yapyap I had worn to his coronation. He quickly got the Unggoy parliament to make him a absolute monarch and began reforming the government. First he put slavery back in but made it if you kill a slave on purpose not for the meat you will be charged and all your slaves will forfeited. This gave him people who donated him slaves on a weekly basis. He then closed boarders with Dogmerica and aggressively made dog meat a custom and by the end of his reign 3 billion dogs were slaughtered for food. He then began growing the military and became the first Unggoy monarch since Flipyap II to spend over a trillion on military spending. However the dogs refused to recognize Yapyap as king of Gruntland because in reality the rightful king was George the son of Paul who was living in Dogmerica Yapyap ignored him though. In 2115 he married a grunt the first since Flipyap the II to marry a grunt. By the 2120s Yapyap had no children so a succession plan was made if Yap died childless the throne would pass to YapYaps nephew from his younger brother and bypass George in the line of secession. He also during his reign barred blacks from joining the military and were forced work as slaves to them. Abroad Yapyap strengthened relations with the communist Greenlandic government because of its opposition to Dogmerica. Yapyap also retook eastern Antarctica in 2119 which had been ceded to Dogmerica in 2099. And decided to try at a empire after much of it collapsed during the reign of Yapyap II. The only battles that broke out during YapYaps reign was a squabble between guards at the unggoy dog boarder which rustled in 5 Unggoy dead and 6 dogs dead. In 2125 his wife gave birth to a son named Poonflip.

## Abdication

In 2126 George Unggoy son of King Paul turned 18 and immediately began scheming to gain the throne and in July enacted his plan. On July 6 2126 George and a armed battalion of 500 dogs and when Yapyap heard and ordered a small militia of 1000 grunts to take out the dogs and kill George but the grunts were forced to retreat and hid in his throne room as dogs marched into Grunt City and found Yapyap wearing a a polo shirt and a tunic trying to not be found and he was attacked and ran to his office and was forced to abdicate and quickly ran to the helicopters that were in the landing area only 2 remained and he took 1 and flew him his wife and his son to Catmerica.

## Pretender

After landing in Catmerica Yapyap and his family was given a palace to live in and was recognized as legitimate monarch of Gruntland by Pandaland, Parrotland, and Catmerica. he constantly criticized the now George I of Gruntland mostly for usurping the throne and for returning the policies of his father and abolished Yapyaps policies. Yapyap hopes that George would die without and children so he could be king again however George had a son who was also named George and Yapyaps hopes were lost. But Catmerica still needed him so the president appointed him press secretary in 2131. He remained as Press secretary until 2151. In 2147 George I died and many cats wanted him to come back to Gruntland and take the throne but Yapyap said he wanted to wait until the king at the time was unpopular. During this time some began considering Yapyap to be insane because he wa seemingly talking to himself or walking and talking to himself however the ghosts of his predecessors had been able to come to see Yapyap they gave him advice on things and was a big help to Yapyap. In the 2150s Yapyap wrote his memoirs titled **“the life of king Yapyap the III”** which he finished only weeks before his death.

## Declining health and death

In 2149 Yapyap suffered a stroke but recovered fully and he could not be press secretary for a month.

In July 2155 he suffered a heart attack in his room and had to get open heart surgery.

He suffered 4 heart attacks from 2155 to 2157 as a result of his heavy sugar consumption.

By July 2157 Yapyap was in his bed much of the time after jolting chest pains on August 5 he suffered another heart attack and was left breathless his family was called to his bedside and said his last words to his son Poonflip, they were “Please retake the throne, Poonflip the I”.

Soon after he died. Poonflip kept his fathers promise and overthrew George III of Gruntland in 2168.
