Yawatha, officially the Chiefdom of Yawatha, is a country in eastern Galia. It is bordered by to the south and east by Temelaeli and Balbaher and to the Achrinian Ocean to the north and east. The country's climate is diverse, ranging from the dry Yú:wheqwasǫh Desert in its interior to vibrant rainforest in the coastal regions. The capital is Yahatlehnehkolyan but the largest city is the port of Watsiyulsonehe. Other major cities include Doyalsonye, Skakoonenholyan, and Konsyoskwah.
The majority of the population is of Yawathan descent, though minorities of various Eastern Galian ethnic groups, especially Dilanians in the south and Onhsaneneans in the west. Those who are not of Yawathan or Dilanian descent are generally discriminated against, with restrictions on voting and property ownership being common. In particular, the Gagian Holocaust during the Second Great War killed over 1.5 million Gagians in Yawatha and over 1 million in Dilania, with the survivors fleeing to Onhsanenea. Modern Yawatha arose in the Yawathan Kingdom out of various tribal groups and clans in northeastern Galia. In 1776, this kingdom joined the Dilanians in the Dilanoyawathan Empire, formed by a series of common monarchs between the two kingdoms. Despite being a regional power for almost 150 years, Dilanoyawatha would collapse during the Revolution of 1920 into the Dilanian State and Yawathan National Republic. The YNR was an oppressive and racist state, stratified down racial lines, with the Yawathan "core provinces" in the northeast being reserved for North Galian groups. These provinces would form what is now Yawatha.
The YNR would stagnate after the Second Great War but was prepared for the resumption of conflict in the 1970s with the Third Great War. Due to its providing of most of the Pact's manpower on the Northern Alaoyian, Onhsanenean, and Angelean fronts, Operation Inferno was implemented by the Coalition in 1980. Operation Inferno, the mass poisoning of Yawathan agricultural centers, led to a famine known simply as the Empty Times, killing tens of millions and collapsing the National Republic.
Like its ally Dilania, Yawatha is an authoritarian state where political repression is common. It is a member of the Mutual Defense Pact. Elections are considered neither free nor fair and the chiefs are frequently called an oligarchic body dictating the politics of the country. Yawatha has been condemended for imperialism, proxy conflicts, and general authoritarianism.
