Yol (Huranian: 嶽), also called Yunsan (Huranian: 雲山 Yúnsān), officially the Republic of Yol (Huranian: 雲山共和國 Yúnsān gònghéguó), is a landlocked sovereign state in Isua, bordered to the west by Wun. Its capital city is Hojin.
Initially inhabited by San Huranians, Yol was initially resistant to control from the central !Han polity and was aided by its geography, before being eventually subdued. While the !Bashu language would eventually die out and be replaced by !Mandarin, cultural influences remained and despite efforts from the central court some of these remained constant. In particular, Yol was home to many Salvationist cults, which would spark peasant uprisings up until the eighteenth century. In 1757, the Sifongdao uprising was crushed brutally, effectively ending the unrest in Yol. Despite this suppression, the region would retain some ideals of a national identity, meaning that with the outbreak of the Blossom of Nations upheaval soon began in Yol. While there were many currents within the Yol Republican movement, they would eventually come under the domination of the Deng clique, a group of several military officers who were all sons of Deng Honghu. The Deng clique were influenced by the Niangjumen society, a millenarian and egalitarian movement similar to those which had existed earlier. The state established was similar to that of neighbouring Wun, with lineage associations being especially important, though central political power would remain under the control of the Deng clique until the 80s when democratic elections were held. The importance of the Niangjumen and other secretive religious movements over political parties is still significant, and local political administration is often administered on a parochial level
