The Yuunli Federation (Poirih: t Yuanal-Punt) was founded in April 2005, and joined the United Nations in the same month. A few days/years later, it was decided to move to the International Democratic Union.

Yuunli is currently considered a democratic socialist nation.

The Republic consists of two Autonomous Communities: Mich-Inzl (Mie-Inzl, former Mysh Island) and Chirachi (Zùrazzù, former Sklyrachy).

Political system

Executive

The executive of the Republic is the Executive Council, consisting of:

• Councilors elected for 3 years by the citizens. They make policies within the framework of the current legislation. Every Councilor is responsible for one department, such as education, infrastructure or international relations.
• The Representatives of the Autonomous Communities represent the executive of Mich-Inzl and Chirachi, respectively. With joint forces, the two representatives can block Council decisions.
• Chairperson elected for 3 years by the citizens. The chairperson's role is to moderate in case there is a conflict among Councilors and/or Representatives. Moreover s/he represents the Republic abroad.

Legislature

The legislative branch of the Republic is called Legislative Assembly. The Assembly does not have fixed members, but consists of representatives of political parties. Those parties are elected every 4 years by the citizens in a proportion-vote system.

The Assembly also has Observers from the parliaments of Mich-Inzl and Chirachi, who have veto rights.

International relations

The Republic of Yuunli belongs to the International Democratic Union, and it is member of the United Nations.

Geography

Yuunli consists of two parts: Chirachi is a landlocked part of the IDU continent (13% of Yuunli's population), Mich-Inzl is an island off the north-west coast of that continent (87% of the population). Yuunli has an area of 4,597,688 km² (1,775,936 square miles).

Mich-Inzl is located in the north of the IDU landmass. To the east, there are uninhabited islands and the United Islands of Amidonia. To the south-easte, there is the Empire of Keeslandia, to the south-west the Democratic Federation of Grosseschnauzer, and to the west the Holy Republic of Lloegr-Cymru.

Chirachi borders the Free Land of Bùngöwhe, the Democratic Federation of Grosseschnauzer in the north, the People's Republic of Flankia in the east, the Gemeinschaft of Sober Thought in the south, and the Interstellar Federation of DataGenesis in the west.

On the following map, rivers are blue and provincial borders are red, unless they are marked by rivers.

The map is old, though. It still shows the old province names, and the seceded province Bingeva / Pinkeba / Bùngöwhe.

Political Divisions

The two autonomous communities of Yuunli enjoy great autonomy. They are further divided into provinces.

See the articles Mich-Inzl and Chirachi as well as the section "political system" (on this page) for details.

Populace

Sports

The most popular sport in Yuunli is triball. The Yuunli Triball Major League finals is the highlight of the year for the TV station broadcasting it.

Teams from the Free Land of Bùngöwhe also participate in the Yuunli Triball Major League.

Religions

Religious affiliation is not asked in a census, that's why only estimates exist.

It is estimated that 71% of Yuunli's population follow a religion called strigidism (57% of them follow the traditional variant, 43% the modern variant) and 40% are atheists. The remaining 7% are mostly muslims and jews.

Chirachi and the mountainous regions of Mich-Inzl are strongholds of traditional strigidism, whereas the modern variant is stronger in the coastal and hilly provinces of Mich-Inzl.
Atheists are more common in more urbanized provinces.

Fore more information about strigidist beliefs, see Strigidism.
