The Free Land of Thudengath (Thudic: Freis Thiuda af Thudengath, FTT) is a One-Party Communalist state in West-Central Yarkopa that was founded in 1936. It borders Theudiland to the Northeast, Valtu to the Northwest, Westelgrens to the South, Juzhneplana to the Southeast, and !Russia to the west. Thudengath is completely landlocked. It has a temperate climate and a population of 11.5 million people as of 1983. The capitol of Thudengath is Árheimar, and it's current Ragineis is Elisawet Habitht, who was elected in 1982.
Starting in the 5th and 6th centuries, Antic and Thudenic tribes that were previously raiding the !Celtic and !Greco-Roman Empires began to gradually move back northward with loot and ideas brought forth from the continental south, and settled in what was now Thudengath. It is believed that the Thudenic tribes originally had Maenic origins, but were heavily Antified. Thudic tribes controlled the area in and around Thudengath for centuries before eventually being conquered by the !Huns and then released as a tributary state until the 1050s, when they confederated in the First Thudic League that would last until 1322, when the !Mongols invaded and made the Thudics a tributary state again. The Commonwealth of Árheimar was founded in Árheimar in 1554, and was a major player in Western Yarkopan politics until it's decline starting in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was invaded numerous times by Valtu, Theudiland , and !Russia. Being reduced to largely a puppet state of !Russia, Thudengath was then in turn annexed during the "Yarkopan Revolution" in 1936 by the Mutual Aid Commune. Thudenic Communalists established a Communalist state that has been in power since.
Thudengath is a developed country with a moderate-income economy. It ranks 8th in the NAL's ranking of SBP economies. Thudengath currently experiences rapid economic growth, primarily due to it's increased investments into aerospace and medical technologies. It is currently the second home of the SBP's Cosmoflot program, and operates primarily through State Syndicalism. Thudengath joined the SBP officially in 1938, and the Internationale in 1939. It is also a member of the Connexion Mondiale since 1945. Along with the rest of the SBP, Thudengath has numerous foreign deployments across the world, mainly in !Southern Africa and in Norumbegau. 96% of the country is Thudic in origin, and the nation is primarily Christian.

In early 1936, the political situation in Thudengath was incredibly tense, with the incumbent State Stability Party, the RThP (Reiki Thwastitha Partai) becoming increasingly unpopular as the !Russian and !Finnish governments began to increasingly vie for more political power within the nation due to the rising threat of the SBP to the West. The Ruling Council found itself increasingly alienated from the common populace, and by mid March, workers' strikes were becoming increasingly common, and parts of the military began to defect to various rebel groups, including those in opposition to the SBP. By June, roughly 20% of the entire military had defected, and most of Thudengath was considered to be in an open state of revolt, or a lost cause by Valtu and !Russia.
The SBP, which had been heavily expanding since the 1920s and earlier half of the 1930s, had lined up a large number of troops on the border of Theudiland. Starting on July 1st, with an official decree from the SBP to help out "their comrades across the Western Borders," the SBP invaded. Compared to the invasions of Valtu, Juzhneplana, and !Russia, the invasion of Thundengath took relatively no time at all, with the only real resistance being offered up by primarily Valtic and !Russian soldiers in the borderlands of the nation. Árheimar fell to SBP soldiers within a week and a half of crossing into Thudengath, and within a month, the majority of the nation had fallen as the SBP's "Grand Yarkopan Revolution" had expanded across the continent.
The rest of the Revolutionary War would see Thudengath quickly re-established as a One Party Communal State with Syndicalist Characteristics, generally considered to be along Wybrzanian lines, and Thudengath joined the war on the side of the SBP, contributing in primarily the Eastern Theatre of the war, pushing deep into !Russia and helping invade Valtu.
