Yindart is an island nation located in the Misty Ocean. Until 2006, it was a possession of Dragoonasag. Its capital city is Yindart City, and its largest city is Grannardo. Yindart has seven provinces. Those provinces are, in alphabetical order, Ardaryn, Bayouna, Brachin, Ediaro, Gavern, Hoscomb, and Jonia.
History
Yindart was inhabited by a tribe of people called the Iiouk before English-speaking settlers arrived in the early 1800s. In 1802, Robert Coulmore (to whom the nation's current prime minister is related) arrived at what is now Marcorrie Harbour. Coulmore and fourteen others settled in the area. As time passed, more people migrated to the island. The island was named Yindart in 1811, after the name of an old Iiouk village named Ya'en-dhaart, meaning "home place", and many English-speaking settlers stayed on the island of Yindart and called it their new home.
Yindart fell under Dragoonasag's control in 1831, and remained under the nation's control until 2006. In 1845, the President of Dragoonasag ordered for Yindart to be divided into states (since Dragoonasag had states). When Yindart gained its independence from Dragoonasag in early 2006, its states became provinces. While under Dragoonasag's control, Yindart's citizens could enlist in the Dragoonasag military forces and could vote for Dragoonasag's president. In 1856, Dragoonasag government officials came to Yindart and, by the order of the President of Dragoonasag, ordered corrupt Bayouna governor Frouth Bexley to resign. After resignation, Bexley was arrested and sentenced to fifty years in prison for passing extremely bad laws[1].
In 1861, Yindart was invaded by an army from the nearby Morxian Islands. The government of Dragoonasag sent soldiers to their island possession to fight alongside the Yindartian forces. With the Dragoonish soldiers' help, the Yindartians won the war that lasted from November 1861 to May 1863. For more information about the war, see Yindart-Morxian War.
In 1869, a fire occurred in Yindart's Cuscontos Mountains, causing much damage to small mountain towns, most of which were in present-day Ediaro. The possession's residents began rebuilding the towns, and the towns did not fully recover until the 1890s. In 1874, a hurricane hit Yindart, and heavily flooded communities on the possession's southern coastline. The affected towns did not recover for decades.
In 1884, Russell Vynnin, a resident of Jonia, traveled to the Cuscontos Mountains in Ediaro, mined in the region, and found what he thought was gold. Vynnin wrote a letter to his friends in Jonia, telling them about his discovery. John Fuegal, a friend of Vynnin, visited the Cuscontos, and when he found the "gold", he discovered it was not real gold.
In 1926, the Yindartian-Vathauan War of 1926 began when soldiers from the Vathau Islands invaded the island in hopes of beginning a huge empire. The war began on Yindartian soil, and later moved to sea after Yindart built the Greentown with the help of East Canipra and Dragoonasag. Yindart won the war in December 1926.
In 1969, Yindart almost became a victim of Hurricane Ossoun, but the hurricane barely missed the island. The only affect Ossoun had on Yindart was causing some rainfall and thunderstorms.
In 2006, Yindart gained independence from Dragoonasag.
