Historically, Yammoe has maintained a strong and steady influence in the east through its colonial politics and the instigation of proxy wars. It is notable for essentially founding [[Xornerian]] and the [[Kingdom of Mamkoon]]. Its hegemony in the east came to a halt with the foundation of the [[Loodon Empire]], and Yammoe's influence has been decreasing ever since. Today Yammoe can even be regarded as isolationist not only in theory, but also in practice.

Yammoe holds a strong claim on the name of Ahldorae's landmass and is one of only three countries that contend it should be something other than its own name. Yammoe bids for "Dantria", arguing that this would honor the [[Western_Dantrian_civilization|ancestor of modern civilization]], while satisfying all sides that no single country has an elevated standing.

After the collapse of Western Dantria, the Council of Western Dantria became the Council of Gantolia. Council placement contributed to Gantolia gaining a political edge and becoming more of an independent player on the Continent. It's relative proximity to former Western Dantria became the gateway for a migration to the west, which significantly strengthened Gantolia's economic position, which was already very strong.

Yammoe has a pleasant warm climate throughout most of the year, with muted seasonal changes, but has irregular and long-lasting periods of drought, invariably followed by several weeks of rain. This is reflected in Yammoe's architecture and a culture of landscaping, designed to withstand both severe drought and high levels of rain. Since droughts can last for up to 6 months, the diversity of plant life is achieved through greenhouses, which are setup everywhere. Due to this, Yammoe has bred plants that exist nowhere else.
=== Street ownership ===
In Yammoe, an investment of wealth was the acquisition of "streets" from the government. An owner of the street would become the administrator of the street and would run a local mini-government, that was given a certain amount of autonomy, but was a vassal to the state.
This concept was not dissimilar to the concept of [[pōnta]] in Tarnaria. The development of the country in Yammoe is being measured in the amount of streets owned by the subjects of the state. More streets mean that there is more urban development and more wealth capable of acquiring those streets.
The amount of streets a given proprietor could own depends not only on their wealth, but also on their political standing.

Gliss script is the main writing system of Yammoe that dates back to the [[Dawn]]. Its earliest forms betray a superficial similarity to written [[Bukk]], suggesting common but probably remote ancestry.
