->''"I propose that we pelt them with empty whiskey bottles to disrupt their precious beer/vodka chain!"''
-->-- '''New Swaziland'''
The Yonderlands is a Website/NationStates [[http://www.nationstates.net/region=the_yonderlands RP]].
In the literal middle of nowhere, there is a region known as the Yonderlands. Within the region there are several nations that have difficulty seeing things from each other's point of view. Occasionally they get along, but most of the time they are engaged in snark to snark combat. And very rarely, something BIG happens.
----
!!The roleplay contains examples of:
* AnarchyIsChaos: Played with by Ghurkainia. One one hand, they explicitly stated that anarchy is chaos. On the other hand, they are quite capable of maintaining foreign relations... with no government...
* AppealToForce:
** Vorluria likes to point their nuclear stockpile out to the other military powers of the region.
%%** Recently, New Swaziland has acquired them.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Vorluria will occasionally speak with these.
-->"Men and women will be exterminated. Children will be enslaved. Pets will be eaten. Potted plants smashed. Paintings tilted."
* BigBrotherIsWatching: The people within the nation of Nortear are monitered 24 hours a day, seven days a weak.
* BlatantLies: Reganaroll, with their declaration of being a "Totally unarmed and defenseless nation", whilst having a law that requires citizens to carry sixteen weapons at all times... Two of which have to be rocket launchers.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: The writer of Triszahkastan and Tri Stan sometimes directly addresses the other writers. This is not appreciated.
* ButtMonkey: The Nortearese representative could be considered this, what with being the butt of many a pelting of whiskey bottles.
%%* CardCarryingVillain: Triszahkastan, much to the irritation of New Swaziland.
%%* CivilWar: One has broken out between Nortear and True Nortear.
%%* ChurchMilitant:
%%** Possibly the Holy Empire of his Unholiness.
%%** Muza Ra too.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The Vorlurian leader's name is Administrator Verwalter. Verwalter is German for Administrator.
%%* EvenTheGuysWantHim: New Swaziland's representative seems to have taken a liking to the Noretearese representative...
%%* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Vorluria's national animal is the Theropod.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: The region immediately west of the Yonderlands is completely infested by zombies. They destroyed Tri Stan and Triszahkstan.
* {{Expy}}: True Nortear's policies and system of government are based on [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Oceania]] on a much smaller scale.
* FictionalCounterpart:
** Vorluria was originally meant to be a fictional counterpart to the generic Soviet satellite state (specifically Bulgaria), but now is more of a fictional counterpart to the Soviet Union itself. They still keep some Bulgarian culture, though.
%%** Nortear is partly based on Sweden.
%%* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Triszahkastan and Tri Stan do this a lot. His Unholiness and Gardenflora do it too, but to a lesser extent.
%%* FiveManBand
%%** TheLeader: New Swaziland
%%** TheLancer: Ghurkainia [[spoiler:Betrayed them for the money.]]
%%** TheBigGuy: His Unholiness
%%** TheSmartGuy: Gardenflora
%%** TheChick: Nortear
%%** SixthRanger: Reganaroll
%%* {{Foil}}: Nortear to Vorluria. To a lesser extent, New Swaziland and Ghurkainia.
* ForScience: Reganaroll fits this trope to a 'T', they frequently ask for 'Loyal Labourers' for their tests, which are mentioned to be "Totally safe and not fatally radioactive!"
* TheGhost:
** Between the creation of the region and New Swaziland's joining, there were six nations that are now gone without record. Only two still exist, and they do not participate in the current Yonderlands. These nations are referenced by Vorluria and Nortear frequently, despite their absence and lack of records.
** States beyond the Yonderlands are sometimes mentioned.
%%* GloriousMotherRussia: Not Russia, but Vorluria pretty much plays this straight.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
** Despite their poor political rights, New Swaziland does care about the welfare of its people, and those of the other nations.
** Vorluria to a lesser extent. As with New Swaziland, they have terrible political rights, but have decent civil rights. However, the Vorlurian government couldn't care less about the people of other nations.
* ManBehindTheMan: The President of Nortear has little actual power, most executive power falls upon the Prime Minister, Sári Horthy.
%%* MeaningfulName: Nortear is Portuguese for 'guide.'
* ObviouslyEvil: Vorluria, with its national colours being black and blood red. They still have a good tourist industry, though.
%%* OoCIsSeriousBusiness: Nortear, taking a extremely hostile position toward the Incorporated States of True Nortear.
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: President Minority; Nortear's former president is a negro and a woman. The current is also a woman, but Caucasian.
* OverlyLongName:
%%** The Dictatorship of the Republic of New Swaziland. This name was done on purpose.
%%** New Swaziland's leader: Archibald Jebidiah Jonas Gregory Swazi IV.
%%* ReligionOfEvil:
%%** His Unholiness, presumably.
%%** The Order of Violet, from the original [[Website/NationStates game]].
* RunningGag:
** Pelting empty whisky bottles at obnoxious nations. Started by New Swaziland, continued by Ghurkainia, joked about by His Unholiness. Nortear is disappointed that they're empty. Triszahkastan took it far too seriously.
** New Swaziland's [[OverlyLongName Overly Long Names]]
* {{Ruritania}}: Nortear and Vorluria were originally pictured by their author as this. But they are not in Eastern Europe, and their culture is now more unique and in depth.
%%* ShapedLikeItself: The region of The Yonderlands itself.
* ShoutOut: The name of the Nortearese foreign minister is [[Series/DoctorWho Jack]] [[Series/TorchWood Harkness]].
* SigilSpam: Vorluria loves their blood drop insignia.
%%* SpaceMarine: New Swaziland is now training them.
%%* StateSec: The only form of military True Nortear has.
%%* TakeThat:
%%** New Swaziland's flag used to be the Australian flag.
%%** Romneyton takes this up to eleven.
%% * ZergRush: Vorluria is fond of them. And can do them without much consequence, as they have reserves.
