The '''Nine Epidemies''' ({{wp|Mayan languages|Mtl}}: "°| ఒకనిలి", "B'olon Okanil") is the name given to nine different outbreaks of {{wp|infection|infectious diseases}} that struck the [[Mutul|Divine Kingdom]] during the last decades of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. They participate to a general climate of social and political turmoil during this period, taking places during the [[Belfro-Mutulese war of 1911|Great Arms Race]], the [[Belfro-Mutulese war of 1911]], the [[Belfro-Mutulese War of 1928]], and the [[Orientalism (Mutul)|Orientalist Regeneration]]. The Nine Epidemies are generally divided into three categories : the '''Three Fevers''' ({{wp|Mayan languages|Mtl}}:"°°° కతన", "Ox Katan") (The {{wp|Yellow fever}} of 1897, {{wp|Malaria|Swamp Fever}} of 1910, and the {{wp|Visceral leishmaniasis|Black fever}} of 1940), the '''Three Dengues''' ({{wp|Mayan languages|Mtl}}: "°°° తొక", "Ox Tok'") (of 1901, 1933, and 1950), and the '''Three Influenzas''' ({{wp|Mayan languages|Mtl}}: "°°° యబిలి", "Ox Yabil") (Of 1889, the [[Mutulese Flu]] of 1915, and the {{wp|Influenza A virus subtype H1N1|Reze Flu}} of 1940).

The '''Elatia-Mutul relations''' refer to the economic, political, and social relations between [[Elatia]] and the [[Mutul]] from 1995 and the Silvanus Reformation to the present. Official relations began in 1881 when the Mutul officialy recognized [[Elatia]] as a sovereign nation. Until the 90s, contacts between the two countries were sparse, with the Sunset Coast only seeing the rare Mutuleses traders who had decided to take the Northern Road to return to [[Oxidentale]] from [[Mutulese Ochran|Ochran]]. Since the rules of the Supreme Prophet [[Silvanus the Corrupt]] and Divine Lord [[Jasaw Chan K'awiil V]], ties between the two countries became much stronger, both economically and politically, the Mutul being one of the few nations maintaining a friendly stance toward the Blessed Republic. The [[2015 Purification]], in which [[Marcus the Purifier]] overthrew and executed his father on live television, had temporarily soured the relationship between the two countries. But since then, cordial relations have resumed and the Mutul remain Elatia's main economic and diplomatic partner.

===Influenza of 1889===
The '''1889 Flu''' was a deadly epidemy that affected around 15% of the population of the [[Mutul]] at the time. Researchers have managed to identify the virus as a subtype H3 of the Influenza A, possibly the {{wp|Influenza A virus subtype H3N8|H3N8 subtype}} which may have been carried to the Mutul through infected dogs from [[Mutulese Ochran|Scipia]]. It is estimated that between 250,000 and 500,000 people died of the Flu thourough the year, 0,2% of the Divine Kingdom's total population at the time. It is generally remembered as the first of the "Three Influenzas", but is obscured by the following [[Mutulese Flu]] which killed around 2% of the total population of the Mutul.


===Yellow Fever Outbreak of 1897===
==Economic==
The Yellow fever probably first appeared in Oxidentale in the aftermath of the [[Sante Reze|Rezeses expeditions to Scipia]] during the 9th and 10th centuries AD. The relative isolation of communities at the time limited the spread of the disease, which mean that it only became noteworthy in the [[Mutul]] following the establishment of [[Mutulese Ochran]] and was first called "Xekik", "blood vomit". The Outbreak of 1897 was especially deadly, affecting not only sugar plantations and western portuary cities, but almost every major settlements of the country as well, once again helped by modern transports and rail networks. It was the last large-scale outbreak of the disease as afterward, extensive sanitary measures were taken, until the fever was reduced to pocket of jungles and other isolated areas where it survived in population of {{wp|howler monkeys}} and other primates from where it periodically spread in small outbreaks to this day.
Elatian imports from the [[Mutul]] rose by 380% from 1995 to 2005. In 2015, Mutuleses exports represented 11% of the total Elatian market, giving the Mutul the largest share of the market before even [[Jhengtsang]] and [[Skaldafen]], the other two major trade partners of the Blessed Republic. Once profitable trade relations had been established, Mutuleses companies invested heavily in Elatia's {{wp|Energy industry|energy sector}}, {{wp|Mining}},{{wp|Arms industry|Weapon}}, and {{wp|Construction|construction}} industries. Elatia's fishing fleet and woodland exploitations were also greatly boosted by Mutuleses investments.


===Dengue outbreak of 1901===
[[Banking in the Mutul|Mutuleses banks]] are especially active in Elatia.  
Like the yellow fever, Dengue reached Oxidentale sometime between the 9th and 10th centuries AD as Rezeses traders brought back the {{wp|Aedes aegypti}} from their travels to Scipia. The Dengue became a known and common disease in the [[Mutul|Divine Kingdom]] since the time of the [[Mutulese Ochran]] when growing international trades made epidemic outbreaks of various diseases easier. The existence of four different serotypes of dengue virus and a short-lived cross-immunity make Dengue outbreaks a recuring event in the Mutul: every six months or so.


As the sanitary precautions taken after the Yellow fever of 1897 had not yet been fully implemented while the {{wp|Rural flight}} to the major industrial hubs of the Mutul continued because of the ongoing "Arm-Race" with [[Belfras]], the 1901 Dengue outbreak had tragic consequences with the virus spreading far and wide through the slums and other lower class neighborhoods. The exact number of death is unknown, but is estimated to have been around 0.1 to 0.25 percents of the Divine Kingdom's total population. The perceived accelerated rate of viral epidemies caused by {{wp|Aedes aegypti}} led to the Divine Throne reinforcing the sanitary policies taken four years before, and launching vast a period of "Sanitary Fervour" among the population through propaganda.

==Cultural==
===Cuisine===
Many Mutuleses restaurants have opened in [[Elatia|Engelhavn]] and other major Elatians metropolis since 2001 and [[Mutulese cuisine]] has become a popular source of "exotic" dishes.
===Education===
The [[Tzewayib’]] has opened institutes in Elatia to promote the [[Mutli|Mutli language]] and the Mutulese culture, suporting local Mutli teaching and facilitating cultural exchanges in relationship with the Elatian government. There has been accusations from Engelists Devots that the Tzewayib' was promoting a policy of de-Engelisation of Elatia and subtly ushed students to convert to the [[White Path]], but these accusations have remained unfounded. The Elatian government has also been favorable to the opening of more Tzewayib' institutes, as knowledge of Mutli and of the Divine Kingdom as a whole has become vital to the Blessed Republic's economy.  
===Religion===
Since the beginning of the 21rst century, great efforts were made by the Elatian propaganda and Engelists scholars to present the [[White Path]] as an "allied faith". Parallel were drawn between the Thirteen Forms of the Logos of Engelism and the Thirteen Creator Gods of the White Path. Elatians theologians have also praised the White Pilgrims for their dedication to self-improvement and their study of the cosmic cycles, two major tenets of Engelism.


===Swamp Fever outbreak of 1910===
Devots and Fundamentalists in Elatia, however, have been less accepting of the White Path, calling it "Devil Worship" and considering their practitioners to be a step under the "Dark Abyssals" while the [[Mutul]], by its investments and collaboration with Silvanus the Corrupt, promoted Materialism and was a source of corruption. Despite the 2015 coup, which was planed and supported by the very same Devots, mainstream acceptance of the White Path as an Allied Faith has not diminished in Elatia and remain the Blessed Republic's official policy.
Documents made public by the Divine Throne revealed the existence of a Swamp fever outbreak during the year 1910. The disease was especially common in the Mutul due to the excellent climatic and ecologic conditions the virus can find there, with many tropical swamps and humid areas near, if not inside, large population centers such as [[K'alak Muul]]. The worsening political situation between the [[Mutul]] and [[Belfras]] led to the Divine Throne censoring all mentions of an outbreak even happening in the country, to not reduce public morale. It is possible that this silence worsened the situation, but the lack of hard numbers or written sources limit our understanding of the situation.


===Mutulese Flu===
[[category:Mutul]]
{{main|Mutulese Flu}}
[[category:Elatia]]
The 1915 Influenza Epidemic, or Mutulese Flu, was the most deadly influenza epidemic to have touched the Divine Kingdom with a third of the total population affected and leaving 2 millions casualties behind it which came on top of the lives lost during the [[Belfro-Mutulese war of 1911]]. The viral infection itself was not more deadly than any previous influenza, but the special circumstances of the epidemic (malnourishment, overcrowded medical camps and hospitals, poor hygiene) promoted bacterial superinfection that killed most of the victims, typically after a somewhat prolonged death bed.
