Yaettengkkok (永天國/얘뗑꼭, Y'aetteng'kkok; IPA: jɛdeŋkʰœɡ) or the Constitutional Union of Yaettengkkok (Yaettengese: 얘뗑겐마꼭/永天憲盟國; Y'aetteng'kkok Gēnmakkok; IPA: jɛdeŋkʰœɡ ɡeɲmakʰœɡ) is a constitutional monarchy in Bangju. It is bordered by Basanreseri and Kishu to the south and the East Sea to the west. Located in south-central Bangju, Yaettengkkok covers an area of 490,976 square kilometers, in addition to the Ssitsumma islands (씨°줌마/西島) to the west of the mainland. Gendan is the nation’s capital and most populated city; Chihamma, Kōkkok’kyo, Nukhiporru, and Imchi are some of Yaettengkkok’s other major cities.

Yaettengkkok has been inhabited since the Upper paleolithic, many nomadic tribes migrated to Yaettengkkok from the Jeongmian peninsula as well as Resan island and the Fusenese archipelago. The earliest records of Yaettengkkokese history consists of brief records and paintings from around 20 BCE. In 207 CE the Kō’Yé dynasty (高麗朝/코예초) began around the Ttajai river, Kō’Yé stood as a sovereign kingdom until 310 when political instability and corruption in the government caused its collapse. Following Kō’Yé’s collapse the kingdom’s former territory split into small warlord states, thus beginning the Rival States period (˫꺼°슨꼭키/仇敵國期/Ăkkŏ Z’ŭnkkok’ki).

Following the collapse of Cheonje the Choss’ki state conquered several neighboring warlord states, thus gaining political influence over the other warlord states. In 989 Choss’ki annexed all but two of the neighboring warlord state, thus beginning the One Kingdom, Three States period (히꼭˫흐°쑤키˫/一國二州期和/Hīkkok-ă’hŭkkok’zzuki’ă). The two states managed to maintain autonomy under the rule of the Tteh’Yan kingdom, though would later be fully annexed into Tteh’Yan consequently after a Tteh’Yan victory in a civil war.. In 1492 Tteh’Yan collapsed due to corruption in the government and was swiftly replaced by the Later Ye kingdom.

From the 16th-17th century Ye was a dictatorial state, it was during this time that Yaettengkkok expanded its territory west. In 1680 Ye fell consequently from the death of the emperor and no eligible heir to take his place. In 1705 the country was unified by a new central government, the government moved the capital from Ammar’kyo to Gendan. The Hwatteng Empire was proclaimed in Yuwol of 1797, three years later Hwatteng subjugated Ssitsumma as a satellite state. In 1830 the emperor proclaimed the Yaettengkkok Colonial Empire (얘뗑섞민지태꼭/永天殖民帝國/Y'aetteng S’ŏkkminji T’aekkok). Hwatteng was renamed to Yaettengkkok due to the popular belief that the nation would last for all eternity per the Mandate of Heaven.

Yaettengkkok established a number of colonies on Yeongju’s northwest and western coast, Yaettengkkok had a number of fourteen colonies, all located in Yeongju. Yaettengkkok’s control over the colonies was initially quite firm, but slowly waned with the turn of the 20th century. After Eulhae Yaettengkkok’s Yeongjuan colonies banded together to revolt against Yaettengkkok and achieve independence. The 1953 referendum in Yaettengkkok pushed for a more democratic government. In 1960 Yaettengkkok adopted a constitution and installed a prime minister, thus making the monarchs nothing more than ceremonial figures. On Sibirwol 10, 1961 the Constitutional Union of Yaettengkkok was proclaimed, later in 1962 Yaettengkkok surrendered control of their colonies and granted them independence.

Yaettengkkok is a great economic power as well as a regional power and is a member of numerous international organizations, including the Sinju Union (since 1970)

=Etymology=

Yaettengkkok is written using the "永天國" or "永天", and can also be written using the  "얘뗑꼭" or "얘뗑". Yaettengkkok's name literally means eternal heavenly state, this was due to the patriotic belief of the country's superiority during the colonial period in the mid-19th century. The Jeongmian reading of Yaettengkkok is Yeongcheonguk (永天國), the Fusenese reading is Eitenkoku (永天國).

To-do list (Yaettengma)

 * Can we prepare a table like the ones in Seriyedang? Are we borrowing more from  or from ? Is  at all relevant? What features of  are good to borrow without overdoing it?  and Seriyedang are seemingly poorer than Japanese in phonemes, so there shouldn't be anything notable to borrow. (I wonder if  will be of any use here.)
 * A list of all the translated Chinese characters thus far (AKA all non-native Japanese/Yaettengma words) as well as their original form would be very much appreciated. We can then use the clarified phonemic inventory to revise and perfect the loanwords. While Old Japanese is too old for inspiration, this corpus of Old Japanese could help us with identifying, which I believe should outpower Chinese loanwords due to distance and conservatism. Let us try to keep Chinese loanwords to (for a lack of a better word) "advanced terms" (society, architecture, warfare, culture, politics, valued goods) and outside of the "basic realm" (food, animals, feelings, tradition, occupations, spirituality). Ainu loanwords can definitely be more commonplace; see digital dictionary here.
 * Things about Japanese and Japonic languages: Subject-Object-Verb order, head-final (means the main meaning of a noun comes last, is preceded by other nouns or adjectives) and is thus left branching (e.g. "book the of cover the"; "table the underneath"; "me than bigger" are to be grammatically sound). Topic prominence. I'm really just citing here. Respect forms; do we keep or throw away? Suffixes is where Yaettengma's originality can shine; we can simplify or complicate Japanese grammar where we see fit. Let's cover the first two bullet points, then discuss grammar more intensively.
