Overview
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia (Serbo-Croatian: Краљевина Југославија) [officially "Yugoslavia"] was a Slavic kingdom in the Southeast. The kingdom was allied only with Schevakia, and intended to stay that way. The nation had an isolated border policy and was one of the growing powers in the world, until stagnation eventually caused it to collapse during the Balkan Troubles.

Religion
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia adopted Eastern Orthodox Christianity, but also recognized Roman Catholicism as a co-majority religion. Orthodoxy in Yugoslavia dated back to when it was founded — as it was the religion of the Serbs, who founded the kingdom.

Government
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was an absolute monarchy (with heavy collectivist tendencies), implying that the King was to make all of the country's decisions, answering to nobody but the deities venerated in the state religion. Before death or retirement, the King was also responsible for choosing an heir to the throne. The King also appointed dukes (named "Vojvodes") as advisors and informants for decisions, and take care of different aspects of everyday life in the Kingdom. While the King was not required by law to ask the opinion of the people, many were known to do so out of love and respect for the people.

Although a monarchy, Yugoslavia did place an emphasis on collectivism, summarized in the following quote: "Give your all to the fatherland, and the fatherland will give all to you." Each subject would paid some kind of homage to the Kingdom in the form of buildings and special resources, as well as mandatory loyalty, and in return the King (on behalf of the Kingdom) gave every citizen powerful armor, tools, weapons, food, land, and resources as needed. The Kingdom did not believe that the system would ever cease to work.

Diplomatic Relations
Yugoslavia was allied only with Schevakia, a fellow Balkan nation that Yugoslavia saw as a brother country until their unfortunate fallout after the kingdom's demise. Yugoslavia retained friendly relations with all other nations, but pursues a more isolationist political strategy in order to avoid war.

Yugoslavia and Schevakia had been increasing collaboration since Schevakia's founding, and constructed a jointly owned hall, for an international organization known as the Balkan International Congress (B.I.C.; Балканска Међународна конференција; БМК) which further encouraged cooperation between the two nations, and was hoped to eventually lead to a joint Yugoslav-Schevakian state.

War
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was one drenched in blood. From the first Yugoslav-Bohem war, to the second Yugoslav-Bohem war, to the well-deserved Progerian massacre, Yugoslavia has seen its share of violence. In both of its major wars, the perpetrator was RustyShackleford, ruler of Bohemia and Bohemia II, and on both occasions, Yugoslavia prevailed, the first time with Sylvian and Vailic help, the second time solely from their own power. Yugoslavia has also almost been dragged into several wars due to alliances, including the fall of Vanskovich, The Fall of Progeria, and the barely avoided Sylvia-Yanshu war.

Language
Yugoslavia was a bilingual nation. The official languages were Serbo-Croatian and Overworld Common. All signs within the kingdom were in both languages, but there were certain small towns in which English was not used.

Economy
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia came from humble beginnings. In the beginning, there was a gold mine, the largest in Elgeis, but as time went by, the mine proved less and less useful. It is unknown exactly how the Yugoslav people continued to increase wealth, but it is known that they at least partially relied on villager trading to get enchanted books, land, and power. The Yugoslav economy today before its downfall was debatably one of the strongest on the server, its only competition being that of Sylvia, Vailan, and Grooge64. A rumor constantly floated around about an alleged "mall (M a LL)", which some have speculated it to be a nuke, others a bunker.
