The Realms of Yor Isles is a sovereign state occupying the 3 islands east of Xagrurg, in the Greater Auroran archipelago region. The Republic of Yor population with approximately 4.7 million people, of which approximately 1.7 million live in the metropolitan area of St.Delanor, the largest city.The current President and VP were put into power after the peace accords by Kuthernburg until October 30th Elections.

Though long known for fishing and mining, the economy is now at the lowest in its entire history. Over the last 6 months , the Yor republic has lost a quarter of its population since the war began with the Capital city Dorchester almost flatten by the GXE occupiers. Plans for growth will be driven by construction, manufacturing and tourism.Republic of Yor will have advanced telecommunication system and transportation infrastructure.

A geographically diverse nation, the Republic of Yor is home to some of the tallest snowboarding resorts. The island has an average temperature of 52.8 °F and great climatic and biological diversity. Music and sport are of great importance in the York culture, with Deshulo and Batino as the national dance and music, and Skiing as the favorite sport.

Government & Politics

Yor Isles has a left–right multi-party system. Following the upcoming 2017 parliamentary election, the biggest parties are the centre-right Independence Party, the Left-Green Movement and the IYorcelandic Pirate Party. Other political parties with seats in are the Progressive Party, the Reform Party, Bright Future and the Social Democratic Alliance. Many other parties exist on the municipal level, most of which run only locally in a single municipality.

Goverment The president of Yor Isles is a largely ceremonial head of state and serves as a diplomat, but may veto laws voted by the parliament and put them to a national referendum. The current president is Entsky Gotfrid. The head of government is the prime minister who, together with the cabinet, is responsible for executive government. The cabinet is appointed by the president after a general election to the parliament; however, the appointment is usually negotiated by the leaders of the political parties, who decide among themselves after discussions which parties can form the cabinet and how to distribute its seats, under the condition that it has a majority support in the parliament. Only when the party leaders are unable to reach a conclusion by themselves within a reasonable time span does the president exercise this power and appoint the cabinet personally.

Administrative divisions Yor is divided into regions, constituencies and municipalities. The eight regions are primarily used for statistical purposes. District court jurisdictions also use an older version of this division. The constituencies for the parliamentary elections are the current four constituencies:

Dorchester North and Dorchester South (city regions); Southwest (four non-contiguous suburban areas around St.Delanor); Northwest and Northeast (northern half of North Yor, split); and, South (southern half of South Yor, excluding St.Delanor and suburbs).

74 municipalities in Yor govern local matters like schools, transport, and zoning These are the actual second-level subdivisions of Yor Isles, as the constituencies have no relevance except in elections and for statistical purposes. St.Delanor is by far the most populous municipality, about four times more populous than Dorchester, the second one.

Foreign relations Yor, which is a member of the AU, maintains diplomatic and commercial relations with practically all nations, but its ties with the Gordic countries, Kuthernburg, the Oan Isles, Furnifold and the other ally nations are particularly close.

Geography

Volcanism has been continuous on the Galápagos Islands for at least 20 myr, and perhaps even longer. Despite being in a sub-tropical region of the world, it doesn't have the same tropical heat as you would expect. In fact, the York Isles doesn't have a tropical climate, which means you can visit Yor Islands all year round, and enjoy the weather and the unrivalled wildlife. From the York Islands, you can take a York Cruise and view the island's unbelievable creatures only found here, including the famous York tortoise, the York sea lion, and the York batfish. Like its surrounding sub-tropical regions, the York Islands have two seasons. The wet season and the dry season. With the islands located in the Southern Ocean, the seasons are very much dictated by their surrounding currents, causing warmer and cooler spells for the islands. However, the differences in the seasons are most noticeable by the amount of rain, with lots more rainfall frequenting the Galapagos islands in the rainy season, rather than any significant change in the temperature.

The wet season usually takes place from December to May and is largely affected by the hot Auroran currents and the Southeast trade winds. Surprisingly, during this season you will see a lot of sun, and average temperatures of around 26ºC. Despite it being the wet season, the rain leaves as quickly as it arrives, with brief moments of heavy rain gracing the arid islands and disappearing again. Unlike a Rainforest, much of the rain that falls on the York Islands is absorbed by its volcanic soils, and so the effect of the rain can often bring a much warmer climate. For example, the ocean is often warmer during this season, making it great time of year for swimming and snorkeling.

Lasting from June to November the dry season, sees the Xagurg current and Auroran undercurrent bring cooler air to the islands. The air and the ocean are both cooler than during the wet season. Even though it is called the dry season, like a tropical climate, light rain can fall across the islands during this time, particularly in the higher parts of the islands, where surprisingly the islands see more rain than during the wet season. You will find the general weather conditions will be cloudy, cooler, and the sun will be less intense, with average temperatures of around 22ºC. With the water temperature much cooler during the dry season, this season can be a perfect time of year for a cruise. During this season you will discover plenty of sea mammals and land birds on and off the islands.

York wildlife These islands are volcanic in origin and were never attached to any continent. Wildlife arrived here in one of three ways: flying, floating or swimming. The giant Yorknese tortoise is one of the largest land animals on the islands, and due to the very few numbers of natural predators, the wildlife in the Yor is known for being extremely tame without instinctual fear.

Fauna One of the best-known is the Yorknese tortoise, which lives on several of the islands. It has an average lifespan of more than 190 years.

The marine iguana is also extremely unusual since it is the only iguana adapted to life in the sea. Land iguanas, lava lizards, geckos, and harmless snakes can also be found in the islands. The large number and range of birds is also of interest to scientists and tourists. Around 66 species live in the archipelago, of which 27 are found only in the Galápagos. Some of these are found only on one island.

The most outstanding are penguins, which live on the colder coasts, Darwin's finches, frigatebirds, albatrosses, gulls, boobies, pelicans and York hawks, among others. The flightless cormorant, a peculiar bird that has lost the ability to fly, and the York crake, nearly flightless, are also part of this rich fauna.

On the other hand, there are many mammal species, mostly sea mammals such as whales, dolphins and sea lions. A few species of endemic York mice the Santiago York mouse and the Fernandina York mouse - have been recently rediscovered. Along with a peculiar set of Red Deer that are derived from the mainland species and have become adept as well to aquatic life, York Devils, Sub-Tropical Wolverines, and Ocelots also inhabit the isles.

Flora On the larger York Islands, four ecological zones have been defined: coastal, low or dry, transitional and humid. In the first, species such as myrtle, mangrove and saltbush can be found. In the second grow cactus, the incensé tree, carob tree, poison apple tree, chala and yellow cordia, among others. In the transitional zone taller trees, epiphytes and perennial herbs can be seen. The best-known varieties are the cat's claw, espuela de gallo. In the humid sector are the cogojo, Galapagos guava, cat's claw, Galapagos coffee, passionflower and some types of moss, ferns, and fungus.

Military

The Armed Forces of Yor consists of approximately 42,000 active duty personnel, approximately 60 percent of which are utilized mainly for non-military operations, including security providers for government-owned non-military facilities, toll security, forestry workers and other state enterprises, and personal security for ministers, congressmen, etc. The president is the commander in chief for the military. The primary missions are to defend the nation and protect the territorial integrity of the country.

The Army, twice as large as the other services combined with about 22,000 active duty personnel, consists of six infantry brigades, a combat support brigade, an air cavalry squadron and a combat service support brigade. The Air Force operates two main bases, one in southern region near Dorchester and one in the northern region of the country, the air force operates approximately 80 aircraft including helicopters. The Will Navy maintains 6 vessels which will be donated from the UKK, around 25 patrol crafts and interceptor boats and 12 helicopters.

There is a counter-terrorist group formed by members of the three branches. This group is highly trained in counter-terrorism missions. The armed forces participate fully in counter-illegal drug trade efforts, for this task there is a taskforce known as KNY. They also are active in efforts to control contraband and illegal immigration from Xagrurg to Yor and from the Yor to the UKK via illegal transportation of immigrants to Atiland.

Economy

The economy of Yor is a developing mixed economy with state-ownership in strategic areas. Although sensitive to global business cycles, the economy of Yor has shown many areas for growth and development. Shipping has long been a support of Yor's export sector, but much of Yor's economic growth will be fueled by an abundance of natural resources, including petroleum exploration and production, hydroelectric power, and fisheries. Yor's modern manufacturing and welfare system will rely on a financial reserve produced by exploitation of natural resources, particularly Antarctic Ocean oil.

The state has large ownership positions in key industrial sectors, such as YorOil, hydroelectric energy production (YTaf) and aluminium production (Yor Hydro). Through these big companies, the government controls approximately 30% of the stock values at the Luthernburg Stock Exchange. When non-listed companies are included, the state has even higher share in ownership, mainly from direct oil licence ownership.

Yor has banned cutting of trees , in order to prevent the air from being high in pollution. Crops, that are typically linked to forests' destruction are timber, soy, palm oil and beef. Yor depends totally on Furnifold, Atiland, Kuthernburg and Nacata for the delivery of Crops and other foods.

Resources

Export revenues from oil and gas have will be almost 50% of total exports and constitute more than 20% of the GDP.The government controls its petroleum resources through a combination of state ownership in major operators in the oil fields with approximately 62% ownership in YorOil and the fully state-owned YoTroliom, which has a market value of about twice of YorOil. Finally, the government controls licensing of exploration and production of fields.

Yor contains significant mineral resources, its mineral production are valued at around $1.5 billion SHD. The most valuable minerals are limestone, building stone, nepheline syenite, olivine, iron, titanium, and nickel.

Hydroelectric plants will generate roughly 98–99% of Yor's electric power, more than any other country on Urth.
