The '''Grand Duchy of Yugstran''' was one of the two major kingdoms fighting during the [[Drevstran#History|Long Ikonkivoyra]]. Following the murder of Havar in 1020, duke [[Yarvos]] of Yugstran became the de-facto leader of the {{wp|iconodulism|iconudlist}} resistance against the [[Sevromark]]. Instead of proclaiming himself King, like his rival [[Sevromark|Karro]] did, Yarvos instead upgraded his realm to a "Grand" Duchy for both political and ideological reasons.
'''Simon David Maridates Smeleres''' is a [[Drevstran]]ese politician born the 18th of August 1947 in the village of [[Hirzent-Maria]]. He is part of the [[Smeleres political dynasty]]: his father is [[Mirkulash Smeleres]], a respected [[Yedviro]] party official and realtor and his mother [[Amaryllis Philaioui]], daughter of [[Maridates Philaioui]], a [[Mesogeia]]n expatriate gemstones trader who lived in [[Angrast]]. Through his father, he is a relative of the [[Siranko]] family, which trace its roots back to both [[Velikoslavia|Velerian]] and [[Lushyodorstag|Lushyod]] nobility. Lawyer by trade, he got into politics early on, joining the Youth-Section of [[Nepserot]] at the age of 16, and then became a party member at 20 but left to join the newly formed [[Yedviro]] in 1976. He served as party official, branch president, mayor of Hirzent-Maria, Delegate to the Parliament, Governor, before becoming President of Yedviro and ultimately Mervoret.


Before the Ikonkivoyra, Yugstran was considered to be a second-tier territory inside the [[Kingdom of the Drev]], overshadowed by the [[Duchy of Vizstran]] which was the real power on the right side of the Drev river, it's dukes being the real leaders of the Iconodulists Orthodoxs.
His 2009 campaign was cut short by the accusations of corruption and treason while serving as Mervoret brought against him by [[Mïgrai Bharamut]]. While he was found non-guilty on treason, the bad press brought by the trial and his condemnation for corruption while in office led to his destitution by the Yedviro Party which ultimately took away his card. He returned to politics in 2015 as an Independent, running for the Mayorship of his birthplace. His successful comeback and rekindled popularity has allowed him to rejoin Yedviro, ultimately returning to the position of President with the mission of winning the 2024 General Elections.


The history of Yugstran is traditionaly divided in three era: the Ikonkivoyra, the Budyobyshevsk Commonwealth, and the Triple-Crown. It was dissolved in 1919 with the abolition of the monarchy.  
==Early Life==
Simon Smeleres was born on the 18th of August 1947 at the St-Jon Bazimilion Hospital in [[Petrograve]] to [Mirkulash Smeleres]] and [[Amaryllis Philaioui|Smeleres]], born Philaioui. The Smeleres are a cadet branch of the wider Siranko family and arrived in [[Hetmoscar]], the northernmost region of [[Drevstran]] on the border with [[Arazija]], when the formation of the Triple-Crown when garrison towns were created on the border due to the risk of troubles from [[Ludvosiya]] spilling over. His grandfather, [[David Smeleres]] had been Magistrate of Petrograve and supported [[Prince Farza of Kaposlovar]] and his Golden Columns during the [[Drevstranese Civil War]] before serving as Deputy of Hetmoscar in the First Republic. His father Mirkulash inherited his father' position within the upper society of Petrograve. But the Smeleres would end up drawing the ire of [[Vernesto Skolad]]. David and his children, including Mirkulash, were arrested and imprisoned. David Smeleres would die in jail in 1949. Mirkulash and the rest of the family would only be freed in 1953 after the Black Streets Days and the creation of the Second Republic. He would be one of [[Nepserot]] first adherent in the north and represent the party in his region.


During the Ikonkivoyra, the Grand Duchy was in a state of war against the [[Sevromark]] and was slowly pushed eastward by the latter, losing its original lands south of the Drev and in the Yug and Viz bassins, but gaining the control of the eastern coast after a serie of successful campaigns. Despite its rather large armies and the existence of a permanent tax, the administrative reliance on feudal lords and the weakness of the central government permanently shaken by court intrigues left the Grand Duchy struggling to survive, owning its success to an handful of generals acting themselves as independent rivals of the Court and thus dangers for the Dukes. Yugstran won the war only through the help of the [[Suvarova|Budyobyshevsk Noble Republic]] which intervened in their favour in exchange of the Grand Duke's submission. Under this agreement, the Grand Duchy reached its maximal extend, recovering all of its lost territories and gaining some more, and its Grand Duke also gaining the title of "Regent of Drevstran" from Budyobyshevsk.
His maternal grandfather, [[Maridates Philaioui]], had moved from [[Mesogeia]] to Drevstran as a representative for his family' diamond, gemstone, and jewelries trade. He possibly chose to settle permanently in [[Angrast]] due to his [[Aletheic Church|Aletheic faith]] which has often been victim of persecutions in Mesogeia. In the end, he became a fixture of the capital' upper society. His daughter, [[Amaryllis Philaioui|Smeleres]], would meet Mirkulash Smeleres during a reception and the two married in 1946, 10 months before their first son birth. Amaryllis was arrested alongside her husband but was allowed to return in house arrest to take care of their underaged child.


As the domination of the Suvarov over its southernmost principality weakened, the Grand Duchy and its {{wp|Viceroy|Ban}} of Drevstran became a point of friction between the [[Lushyodorstag]] and the Emperor. This culminate in 1690 with the death of the Grand Duke and the succession war fought by the two main claimants: [[Lushyodorstag|Farza IV]] and [[Yaropolik]]. The death of Yaropolik at the [[battle of Angrast]] in 1694 and the convertion of Farza IV to the {{wp|Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Church}} marked the start of a personal union between the Lushyodorstag and Yugstran known as the [[Triple Crown]].  
In 1965, Simon Smeleres integrated the prestigious [[Saint Julian University]] in [[Angrast]], in its Legal Studies Cursus. At 23 years old, in 1970, he passed his bar examination and became an associated lawyer at [[Mount-Peregrin Legal Counseling]] back in [[Petrograve]], a firm partly owned by one of Mirkulash known friend. He served as a lawyer until 1976, when events would precipitate his political career.

The electoral failures of 1974 pushed Nepserot' inner divisions to the forefront, notably the critics against [[Sargaï Bharamut]] turned into outright hostility. In the end, the party split up in three, with [[Priatselvo]] and [[Baratsag]] parties going their own way before merging, alongside other fringe political forces, into a new party in 1976: [[Yedviro]].


===Under the Commonwealth===
Simon Smeleres had followed the dissidents and joined Priatselvo and ultimately took his card at Yedviro. The relative lack of manpower allowed Simon to gain the support of the party as he ran for the Mayorship of Petrograve, where he remained a local figurehead of the Party from 1980 to 1990.
 
By the [[Treaty of Kryssiysk]], Yugstran recognized the Hegemony of the [[Suvarova|Budyobyshevsk Noble Republic]] and joined its Commonwealth as a "Protectorate". In exchange, Budyobyshevsk restored the Grand Duchy "in its entirety", granting it back all the lands it once controlled during the Ikonkivoyra. What parts of the [[Sevromark]] that hadn't been annexed had been consolidated into a single Duchy nominally placed under the direct collective gestion of the Budyobyshevsk Senate, but the Grand Duke was also given the "Regency" of Drevstran, administering it in the name of the Noble Senate.
 
This privilegied status inside the Commonwealth had its drawbacks: the Grand Dukes had not seat or representation inside the Senate and could not influence the "transnational" policies that affected his realms. Similarily, he had no diplomatic autonomy and could not negociate treaties nor agreements of any kind without the approval of the Senate. And while Yugstran was spared from the annual contributions to the Commonwealth' treasury, it had heavy military obligations and a complete lack of say in how those military contributions were used.
 
In the Duchy of Drevstran, under Yugstranese Regency, there was no such examption as the realm was considered to be owned by the Senate. On the contrary, the Commonwealth perceived an annual [[Taille]] on the agricultural production of the country and it was the task of the Regent to collect it.
 
==Culture and economy==
 
The early culture of Yugstran was characterized by a strong reaction to {{wp|iconoclasm}} with a rapid development of {{wp|Icon}}s and of the spread of {{wp|relic}}s. The lack of control over the Drev river also led to the isolation of the Grand Duchy until its conquest of the eastern coast.

Simon David Maridates Smeleres is a Drevstranese politician born the 18th of August 1947 in the village of Hirzent-Maria. He is part of the Smeleres political dynasty: his father is Mirkulash Smeleres, a respected Yedviro party official and realtor and his mother Amaryllis Philaioui, daughter of Maridates Philaioui, a Mesogeian expatriate gemstones trader who lived in Angrast. Through his father, he is a relative of the Siranko family, which trace its roots back to both Velerian and Lushyod nobility. Lawyer by trade, he got into politics early on, joining the Youth-Section of Nepserot at the age of 16, and then became a party member at 20 but left to join the newly formed Yedviro in 1976. He served as party official, branch president, mayor of Hirzent-Maria, Delegate to the Parliament, Governor, before becoming President of Yedviro and ultimately Mervoret.

His 2009 campaign was cut short by the accusations of corruption and treason while serving as Mervoret brought against him by Mïgrai Bharamut. While he was found non-guilty on treason, the bad press brought by the trial and his condemnation for corruption while in office led to his destitution by the Yedviro Party which ultimately took away his card. He returned to politics in 2015 as an Independent, running for the Mayorship of his birthplace.
