-**Kingdom of Mamkoon**, or simply Mamkoon, /mæm'kun/ was a country which existed for almost 200 years in the 18th-19th [[dantrian_calendar|CSR]] and was regarded as a [[Yammoe]] puppet state, although the actual relationship between the two countries was complicated.+**Kingdom of Mamkoon**, or simply Mamkoon, /mæm'kuːn/ was a country which existed for almost 200 years in the 18th-19th [[dantrian_calendar|CSR]] and was regarded as a [[Yammoe]] puppet state, although the actual relationship between the two countries was complicated.
  
 Centered around the Makam river, Mamkoon connected the areas of [[Osa Nara]] and [[Xornerian]]. Mamkoon also had an exclave region near the Taverda river called Mamkoon Tre, which had three major cities: Mamkoon Tre, Mamkoon Ta and Mamkoon Tranala. This packet of the Mamkoon Kingdom became important due to its economic advantage of discovering the deposits of salt. The exact location of the Mamkoon salt mines had been kept a secret, and after the downfall of the region they have never been found, which spawned rumors and conspiracy theories that the mines might have never existed. The latter is corroborated by some historical data, suggesting it was a political ruse. Centered around the Makam river, Mamkoon connected the areas of [[Osa Nara]] and [[Xornerian]].

-The Kingdom of Mamkoon was founded by Deiecut Nornan, later known as [[King Anashary]], who ruled the country for 53 years. From the start he was under the strong influence from [[Yammoe]] and was helped to power by support from Yammoe-aligned forces, but kept dismissing the importance of Yammoe'​s role in his success. By the end of his life he began losing his grip on power and agreed to publicly align Mamkoon'​s interests with [[Yammoe]], in exchange for financial and military support. This quickly turned into an adversarial relationship,​ and after Anashary'​s death his sons were more or less turned into puppet leaders, while yielding actual power to the representatives of Yammoe.+The Kingdom of Mamkoon was founded by Deiecut Nornan, later known as [[King Anashary]], who ruled the country for 65 years.

-Nevertheless,​ Yammoean influence had strengthened Mamkoon'​s standing in the region and provided its power with long-term potential. Over the course of the next 30 years, Mamkoon continued to expand its influence, both territorial and economic, but was then hit by three invasions in a short period of time - from the [[Overpol Expanse]], from [[Loodon]] and then from [[Leykarya]]. This had weakened its influence and prompted Yammoe to withdraw its support due to a belief that Mamkoon is not worth the prolonged conflict. However, as soon as Yammoe withdrew, the conflict fizzled out and Mamkoon became Loodon territory within a year.+Nevertheless,​ Yammoean influence had strengthened Mamkoon'​s standing in the region and provided its power with long-term potential.

 The downfall of Mamkoon ended the era of Yammoe domination in the north. Its subsequent attempts at regaining its influence over the region were swift failures, and by the end of the 1st CTR Yammoe lost all of its northern colonies. The downfall of Mamkoon ended the era of Yammoe domination in the north.

 Yammoe'​s strategic mistake became apparent already in several years when Loodon emerged not only as a regional power, but as a major player of the whole eastern Continent. This was further exacerbated by [[Western Dantria]] treating Loodon as such, when Yammoe'​s position was that Yammoe is the only power worth talking to. Yammoe'​s strategic mistake became apparent already in several years when Loodon emerged not only as a regional power, but as a major player of the whole eastern Continent.
