Yingok (Yinese: 燕國; Jinping: Jin3 Gwok3; Yinese X Cambranisation: Yin-gwok), officially the Fourth Republic of Yingok (Yinese: 燕華第四共和國; Jinping: Jin3 Waa4 Dai6 Sei3 Gung6 Wo4 Gwok3; Yinese X Cambranisation: Yin-wàh Daih Sei Guhng-wòh-gwok) is the second largest country in Abaria. With an estimated population of over 600 million, Yingok is bordered by Razan, X, and X to the east, the Alconian Ocean to the west, and the Jade Sea to the South. Its 13 prefectures and 1 autonomous region spans a combined area of roughly 8,037,614 km² (3,103,340 sq mi). Yingok is a unitary presidential constitutional republic with its capital in Dongsing, the largest city in Yingok by population. The largest city in the country by area is Hoyzhau which also serves as Yingok's main economic and commercial centre. Other major urban areas include Gongbuk, Samlong, Sei'on, Hasaan, and Yunzhau.

Yingok was initially inhabited by the Zhong Dynasty, followed by the An Dynasty, which brought significant cultural and technological advancements. However, the An Dynasty eventually fractured, leading to a fragmented political landscape and the rise of the Chiu Dynasty, which brought political stability and a cultural renaissance. The region experienced invasions from the !Vietnamese and the !Mongol Empire, leading to periods of conflict and disruption. The 15th century marked the beginning of the Third Winter Period, characterised by intense competition among various factions. This era eventually gave way to the Three Kingdoms Period, with the Hon Dynasty, Jeong Dynasty, and emerging Dong Kingdom vying for dominance over Yingok. The Saan Dynasty emerged victorious and established relative stability and economic growth in the region. However, the appearance of Calesian colonialism introduced new tensions and conflicts as the Saan Dynasty sought to protect its sovereignty.

In the 19th century, Yingok embraced the Industrial Revolution, leading to rapid urbanization and socio-political changes. The Saan Dynasty's response to demands for reforms varied, leading to political unrest. The dynasty was overthrown in 1892, and Yingok went through a series of political upheavals, including various dictatorships and revolutions. Yingok remained neutral during the Great War due to internal conflicts. In 1966, a civil war erupted between different factions, culminating in a nationalist victory and the establishment of the Fourth Republic. Throughout its history, Yingok has maintained complex relationships with its neighbours, pursuing diplomacy and economic cooperation. It seeks regional stability, trade, cultural exchanges, and peaceful conflict resolution. Present-day Yingok has implemented political reforms, aiming for a more democratic and inclusive society, although challenges remain in fully implementing political freedoms and civil rights.

Yingok retains its centuries-long status as a global centre of art, science and philosophy. It is the world's leading tourist destination, receiving over 73 million foreign visitors in 2020. Yingok is a developed country with the world's X-largest economy by nominal GDP and X-largest by PPP; in terms of household net income, it ranks X in the world. Yingok performs well in international rankings of health care, life expectancy and human development. It remains a great power in regional affairs, being leading member of numerous international organisations including the United Congress, X, and the Abarian Regional Forum.

Etymology

The word "Yingok" derives from two Yinese characters: 燕 (yin) referring to the Yinese people and 國 (gwok) meaning "state". However, this name was not in use until around the rise of Yinese nationalism during the late 19th century. The term itself (rendered as "Yin-guok") first appeared in the 1876 translation by Edwin Gallagher of End of Cycles by X which called for the abolition of the Yinese dynastic system. The name was then popularised in the 1886 Pocket Guidebook and Dictionary to the Yinese State and Language, a bestseller by the !Christian missionary X. In popular culture, the name Yingwok is often translated as the "Kingdom of the Yin".

Prior to the term "Yingok", the name of the operating dynasty was always used to refer to Yingok. Outside the region however, most notable in Calesia, the name "Chiuchu" was primarily used to refer to Yingok. Its origins has been traced through X, X, X and X back to the !Vietnamese word chiều triều. "Chiuchu" first appeared in a letter dated 16 May 1497 from a X merchant who had visited X that year. The word Chiuchu has been suggested by many Calesian scholars to have derive from the name for the Chiu Dynasty (918-132 BCE). Although usage in !Vietnamese sources precedes this dynasty, this derivation is still given in various sources.

The simplified name Yingok was in frequent use by the beginning of the 1900s. Despite the establishment of the Republic of Yingok a decade prior, many outside Yingok continued to refer to the country as Chiuchu until the end of the 1920s. The name was also commonly written as the two-word Yin Gok until 1986 when the government officially adopted the one-word name. Some corporations and organisations founded before this date still keeps this name, including Yin Gok Electric Company, Yin Gok Hotels, Yin Gok Merchant Banking Corporation, and Yin Gok Railway Union.

History

Prehistory

The Cingtongfa Rock Arts are one of the many relics of Pre-Dynastic Yingok.

Yingok is home to one of the world's oldest civilisation. Early hominids have inhabited the region as early as 1.05 million years ago, with the fossils of the Yunjou Man, a Homo erectus dating back to this period. The fossilised remains of early Homo sapiens of the Proto-Longic A culture dated roughly 50,000 years ago were also discovered in the Munlok region, along with stone tools and evidence of early settlements. Paleolithic sites are also known to exist, most notably the Daisek cave paintings in Dongzhong (15,000 BCE), the Shuitou pillars near Honliun (13,000 BCE), and the Cingtongfa Rock Arts in Cingtongfa (9,000 BCE).

The first evidence of pottery in Yingok dates back to around 7,000 BCE. This coincided with the rise of water levels, separating Yingok with !Japan as well as providing fertile land for early agricultural practices brought about by the end of the X Ice Age. The Neolithic in Yingok witnessed the emergence of settled farming communities, marking a significant shift in human development in the region. Yinese proto-writing, characterised by intricate symbols and pictograms, began to emerge during the Neolithic Age. They have existed in Tongmun near Yuthung since approximately 5,200 BCE, marking the beginning of the Proto-Longic B culture. Proto-Longic B marked a crucial phase in the region's development. This period witnessed the further advancement of settled farming communities and the emergence of Proto-Longic B script, a significant development in Yinese proto-writing around 4,000 BCE. The society during the Proto-Longic B period was organized into small-scale chiefdoms, where local leaders held authority over their communities. These chiefdoms engaged in trade and exchange, allowing large networks of activity between the different regions of Yingok. Excavations at various sites dating back to this period have unearthed remnants of dwellings, tools, and artefacts, shedding light on their subsistence practices, craftsmanship, and social structures, most notably the Gongyun ruins near Sheunglong. The transition from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities brought about significant changes in their way of life. The first evidence of silk production also dated back to this period (3538 BCE) and was written in the historical records of the ancient settlement of Kunsaan near Qinfa.

The vice president is usually, though not always, a member of the president's cabinet and may be appointed without the approval of the Appointments Committee. If there is a vacancy in the position of vice president, the president will appoint any member of the National Diet (usually a party member) as the new vice president. The appointment must then be validated by a three-fourths vote of the National Diet. The incumbent president and vice president are Yeung Kapkaa and Dong Dak, elected in 2021
