The Yatan Commonwealth of Labour, usually simply referred to as the Yatan Commonwealth even in official settings, is a sovereign federal parliamentary republic under a socialist government composed of countless autonomous constituent Republics and regional Cooperatives situated across the continent of Eurasia. The Commonwealth was first established in 441 among republics derived from its 8 founding nation-states of Kalevala, Jugoslavija, Scandinavia, Shqiperia, Tanume, Tritonia, Yakamoto, and Yetia following their unification under Yetia's ideals of a unified egalitarian Yata based around equitable socialist values that would be capable of developing in a manner corruption or oppression unlike the situation The Confederacy (a previous planetary government) found itself in that lead to its collapse in 397, hoping to avoid such a catastrophe once more while still benefitting from a unified world.
The capital city of the Commonwealth is Mylonagrad, the largest settlement within the Commonwealth Capital Region (with others being cities such as Almatsk, Almytara, and New Sizzle) and the Commonwealth as a whole, serving as the administrative, political, and economic hub of the Commonwealth. Many other cities regardless hold positions of significant influence, with the capitals of each individual cooperative (Abuja, Alice Springs, Beijing, Cairo, Emiro, Fietrar, Galas, Halmahera, Istanbul, Moja, Mumbai, Nuelo, Phnom Penh, Tashkent, Umoja, and Vedaburg City) being the most notable examples of other influential settlements, though others such as Alkatse, Argentina City, Tritoniyagrad, Xining, Yetia City, and various others are economic giants in their own right. On the interplanetary scale most Commonwealth colony-worlds are home to one major conurbation with occasional smaller communities surrounding them, lacking the same level of influence spread that Yata has.
History
Following its establishment in 441 in the Mylonagrad Treaty of Commonwealth signed by its founding states, the Yatan Commonwealth was quick to begin asserting itself on the global stage after forming its first government, successfully swaying the members of the Initiative for Peace and Democracy into committing towards future membership in the Commonwealth and beginning the gradual integration of each of them as Lineland, Vedagyar, Kipchakistan, Ozbekiston, Turkmenistan, Apothelis, Sizhou, Zapadoslavia, Alduria, Kurdistan, Azeria, Khuree, Uyghurstan, England, Utsong, Nilastan, Yangoon, Iceland, Poavak, Abard and Itaquia all one by one joined the Commonwealth in the first few years following its establishment, concluding with the admission of Itaquia in 447. During this process several other nations beyond the IPD such as Idel-Ural and Calatay also joined the commonwealth due to mainly economic reasons. In 442 the Yatan Commonwealth engaged in its first major interplanetary diplomacy, attending a significant conference between themselves, the Theian Federation, and the Commonwealth of Independent Systems. In the Commonwealth's second elections following the integration of the IPD members in 447 a new more moderate government headed by the Yatan People's Labour Party - Right was formed under Executive Chairwoman Zohreh Soleymani, People's Chairman Robin Weisman, and National Chairwoman Ismene Tanamal. Thanks to this more moderate government, the Yatan Commonwealth managed to sway the more right-leaning members of the Cairo Cooperation Pact into committing towards joining the Commonwealth after both sides made a series of concessions largely regarding economic policy. Thanks to this agreement, which was known as the Baghdad Conference, the nations of Arabia, Bornuvia, Erbuja, Goldaria, Brasil, and Guarania all integrated into the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth then set after integrating the various non-aligned right-leaning regimes, holding the Yerevan Agreement that lead to the Caucasian League's integration and the Alkatse Conference that lead to the integration of Ellaria, Libakria, and Fangabon. The Commonwealth then held the Cardiff Agreement that lead to the integration of Wales and Alice Springs Conference that lead to the integration of Cotunauinia-Luvuria, Luxuria, Melanesia, and Floria. The second elections were held in the first part of 452, leading to the election of Executive-Chairman Yemane Selassie Roni and National-Chairman Nkróma Opuni of the Yatan People's Labour Party - Left alongside People's-Chairman Chanda Bajpai of the Party of Revolutionary Communists. Hoping to gain similar successes to the previous government, the Commonwealth held the Hanoi Conference that lead to the integration of Minguk and Nakmai, the Emiro Agreement that lead to the integration of Yorica, the Salvador Conference that lead to the integration of Japoña and Argentina, the Umoja Conference that lead to the integration of Tshad, Ubangia, Azania, Ityoppya, and the East African Federation, the Dublin Agreement that lead to the integration of Ireland, the Fietrar Agreement that led to the integration of Sipedro, the Moja Agreement that led to the integration of Wanaoishi, the Manila Agreement that led to the integration of Filipinas, a revolution in Sudan that led to its integration, the North City Agreement that led to the integration of Alyphia, the Rapa Nui Agreement that led to the integration of Islandia, a revolution in Malagasia that led to its integration, the Hovedstad Agreement that led to the integration of the Red Army, the Edinburgh Agreement that led to the integration of Scotland, a targeted pressuring campaign that lead to the integration of Yamalia, the Chalonaja Agreement that led to the integration of Denasola and Asophania, the Auckland Agreement that led to the integration of Aotearoa, the Nay'Bling City Agreement that led to the integration of Nay'Bling (After the YPLP-R and YPLP-C condemned the YPLP-L & PRC government for their more aggressive integration methods), the Ciudad de la Lujuria Agreement that led to the integration of Lustland, the Nun City Agreement that led to the integration of Nunland, and finally the Montréal Conference which led to the integration of Catania, Celtic, Noveau Normandie, Qauria, and Spisos, finally reunifying Yata under socialism 60 years after the collapse of The Confederacy.
In its first elections following reunification, Executive-Chairman Yemane Selassie Roni of the YPLP-L and People's-Chairman Chanda Bajpai managed to win re-election, with the new National Chairwoman being Manija Fayzulloeva of the YPLP-C, forming a coalition between the three parties. Now having reunified Yata, the Commonwealth began to put additional focus into asserting itself and its ideals on the interplanetary stage by competing with the Theian Federation, whom had become akin to a rival, in a series of power-grabs for influence and control over various uninhabited worlds.
Federal Government & Politics
The Yatan Commonwealth's day-to-day governance is entrusted to a system of council democracy at all levels, with each citizen being capable of participating in the democratic process in local councils (known as Communal Councils) operating largely as direct democracies open for all local citizens to come and participate in votes and debates. These Communal Councils elect a delegate from among them to Provincial Assemblies, from which a delegate is elected to a Republic Assembly, from which a delegate is elected to a Cooperative Assembly, from which a delegate is finally elected to the federal government's Supreme Councils, where they may even be elected as either People's or National chair(wo)man of the entire Commonwealth.
Executive Government
The Executive Government consists of the Executive-Director of the Commonwealth, a ceremonial position that acts as the head of state of the entire nation which is elected via regularly held general elections rather than the council system. The Executive Director is most notably seen in acts of diplomacy, representing the Commonwealth to other polities, yet they may also involve themselves in other actions. Alongside the Executive-Director the Commonwealth's Central Secretariats belong to the Executive Government.
Supreme Councils
The legislature of the Yatan Commonwealth, known as the 'Supreme Councils', are divided into two chambers. The 'Council of Peoples' consists of representatives elected by the general public, with seats being allocated by proportion to population to ensure the 'common man' is properly represented. The 'Council of Nations' consists of a set number of delegates from each Republic in order to ensure each minority voice is heard in government regardless of how small they are.
Political Parties
Despite its electoral system by virtue of its processes leaning heavily towards independent candidates, most politicians beyond the Communal Councils are affiliated by a major party backer to finance their campaigns and maintain ideological coherency among similarly-minded blocs, varying from the strong and divided left-wing to the weaker and unified right-wing. The most dominant political party has typically been the three splinters Yatan People's Labour Party, a now defunct party that existed as a big tent for left-leaning ideologues during the early days of the Commonwealth that splintered into a Left, Centre, and Right faction once it had firmly cemented its dominance over politics.

Administrative Divisions
The Yatan Commonwealth of Labour operates as a federal union of autonomous constituent republics assembled in a hierarchical structure with more autonomous polities placed above more limited entities that together make up those above them. Nations beyond the Commonwealth are allowed to join the Commonwealth as long as they demonstrate their commitment to its values, necessitating a review process of applicants to ensure their alignment with said values and principles before they may ratify a treaty to officially be incorporated after a internal referendum regarding the matter.
Administrative Hierarchy
- Federal Government: The central governing body of the whole Commonwealth responsible for managing issues that affect the nation as a whole such as collective security, nation-wide regulations, development goals, trade regulation, environmental protection, social equity, and certain economic functions.
- Cooperatives: Region-spanning polities consisting of several internal republics unified due to economic or linguistic similarities that are responsible for inter-republic collaboration, resource allocation, and various internal projects. The Cooperatives are empowered to serve as bodies capable of serving the collective interests of all of their constituents in economic matters, environmental matters, and cultural matters, among others.
- Republics: Smaller entities defined by ethnolinguistic boundaries that are responsible for local matters within their borders, acting as the highest 'truly' autonomous entities. They are granted the authority to establish their own local laws as long as they follow the Commonwealth's principles.
- Provinces: The standard first-level administrative division of each republic, largely lacking notable authority beyond local matters.
- Autonomous Provinces: A special variety of the more standard Province that are typically home to notable ethnolinguistic minorities, thus being granted additional autonomy to voice their interests.
- Communes: The smallest administrative divisions to be found in the Commonwealth, typically acting as municipal bodies lead by local councils that are responsible for catering to the inhabitants of individual (or groups of) settlements. Despite their apparent insignificance, each level of government sources its delegates from the Communal Councils, with each of them electing a delegate from among them up to a higher body until they finally reach the Federal Government.
- Republics: Smaller entities defined by ethnolinguistic boundaries that are responsible for local matters within their borders, acting as the highest 'truly' autonomous entities. They are granted the authority to establish their own local laws as long as they follow the Commonwealth's principles.

The Cooperatives are empowered to serve as bodies capable of serving the collective interests of all of their constituents in economic matters, environmental matters, and cultural matters, among others.
