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.

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.

The history of Yugstran is traditionaly divided in three era: the Ikonkivoyra, the Veliko-Azari vasselage, and the Triple-Crown. It was dissolved in 1919 with the abolition of the monarchy.

History

Ikonkivoyra

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 Duchy struggling to survive, owning its successes to an handful of generals acting as independent rivals of the Court and thus were as much dangers for the Dukes as they were for their ennemies. Yugstran won the war only through the help of the Kingdom of Azarija which intervened in their favour in exchange of the Duke's submission. Under this agreement, the Duchy reached its maximal extend, recovering all of its lost territories and gaining some more, and its Duke also gained the title of "Regent of Drevstran" from their new master. When Azarija was conquered by Velikoslavia in the 16th century, the duchy was integrated into the empire as well giving it direct access to Periclean Sea.

Veliko-Azari Vasselage

Succession War

As the domination of Velikoslavia over its southernmost principality weakened, the Duchy and its Ban of Drevstran became a point of friction between the Lushyodorstag and the Emperor. This culminated in 1690 with the Duke's death and the succession war fought by the two main claimants : Farza IV and Yaropolik. The death of Yaropolik at the battle of Angrast in 1694 and the convertion of Farza IV to the Orthodox Church marked the start of a personal union between the Lushyodorstag and Yugstran known as the Triple Crown.

Culture and economy

The early culture of Yugstran was characterized by a strong reaction to iconoclasm with a rapid development of Icons and of the spread of relics. The lack of control over the Drev river also led to the isolation of the Grand Duchy until its conquest of the eastern coast.

By the time Yugstran became part of Azarija and then Velikoslavia, it had become an essentially marine state, turned toward the Periclean. It had developped a strong icon-making religious culture based on the Aletheic faith. It retained its own Archpresbytership under the larger Velik Communion, a religious union that remain to this day despite the adoption by Archpresbytership of the Drev of the Oecumenic Bible under the Triple-Crown.
