Etymology

The name Yogania comes from the word Yogoryd, itself derived from the Old Yoganian word Yogo-rydden, meaning "Kingdom of Yogodan", in reference to Yogodan I The Great, the first King of Yogania.

History

Prehistory

Archeological evidence shows the island of Yogania has been inhabited since around 9000 B.C. The Baldanjoki cave contains prehistoric tools and drawings that have been estimated to be over 5000 years old. Early humans living in Yogania developed black hair color and pale skin around that time.

Kingdom of Kjerso

Around 170 B.C, Jokelayan The Great proclams himself King of Kjerso, which occupied the whole eastern side of the island. The Kingdom of Kjerso was the first state established in the island of Yogania. It lasted until 1264 A.D when it was conquered by Burydan Halfdan´s army, the king of neighboring Yogania.

Kingdom of Yogania

The Kingdom of Yogania was founded around 550 A.D by Yogodan I The Great. At the time, it only extended to the city of Yocopo and the area around it.

Conquering of Kjerso

Over the years, it expanded until reaching Kjerso´s border, and the 2 countries were constantly battling with eachother, trying to take more land. In 1225, Burydan Halfdan became King of Yogania after Bobigan I died, and he started trying to conquer the entirety of Kjerso. The first few attempts failed, but in 1246, after strengthening his army, Burydan Halfdan began conquering the Kingdom of Kjerso. To try and combat the invasion, Kjerso replaced their king with Yalashi Bogelnod, a renowned military general. In 1264, Burydan Halfdan coquered Bugan, the capital of Kjerso, marking the success of his campaign. Kjerso was promptly integrated into the Yoganian Kingdom. He decided to preserve the language and culture of the Kjerso people, which was not drastically different from the other Yoganians.

Buggan Empire (1594-1707)

In 1594, King Yodolyd VI decided to use his powerful army to conquer the rest of Europe. He renamed the country to the Buggan Empire (Yoganian: Buggan Haltlak) They got down to the south of France and stayed there before they got pushed back by the French army in 1698. The country was renamed back to Yoganian Kingdom in 1707 by Jakob IV.

Industrial Revolution

Yogania was one of the first countries to have steam-powered trains. It was also a big coal producer, with coal mining being a big part of Yogania's economy at that time. The country also experienced a booming population, going from 230 million people in 1844 from 420 million in 1914.

19th Century

In 1879, Jom VII dies without an heir. Yogodan Yangodi-Yol, a nobleman from Yocopo, is declared King of Yogania by the Yoganian Parliament and is crowned in 1880 as Yogodan XV. This caused a wave of protests across the country ultimately leading to the change of Yogania´s political regime from a semi-constitutional monarchy to a fully constitutional monarchy, reducing the King to a simple figurehead. Yogodan XV is considered one of the better kings of Yogania for contributing to the preservation of the country's traditions and culture.

World Wars

Yogania did not take any sides during WWI, since the country is quite isolated from the rest of Europe and was not really affected by the war. In WW2, Yogania sided with the Allies, and sent soldiers to fight for other countries' armies. Yogania was never bombarded and was one of the few European countries that walked out relatively unscathed from the war.

Second half of the 20th century

Yogania's economy after WW2 was not very diverse, mostly exporting agricultural goods and metals. In the 1960s and 70s, Yogania experienced a booming population again, going from 670 million people in 1961 to 749 million in 1985. From 1980 to 1990, Bjorn Yogun was Prime Minister, the only one to be reelected for a second term. In 1990, King Buckigan VI dies, and is replaced by his son Yogory VII, who is currently still king today.
