Planet:Ya'akova (Ya'mundar)

The Capital of the Kingdom of Ya'akova, it is a world of prosperity and opportunity. This world is rich in its culture as much of its beauty.

Flora and Fauna
The plants and animals are surprisingly earth-like, although they are also similar to that of Palaven (Turian) and PNF-404 (Pikmin). This makes it habitable to the peoples there, rather than they evolved there, as most of the people in the entire kingdom do not believe this. Either way there are levo-amino and dextro-amino based animals which actually have a symbiosis between the two types.

Moons
The planet is orbited by three moons of varying sizes: Amoranda, Traven, and Fi. These three moons, aside from their composition, have a more cultural and ethical value.

Amoranda is the largest of the moons and has a rose-colored surface with an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, making it a hot moon with an average temperature of 35 C. The surface is made of an iron-oxidized rock. There is no visible life except for the occasional amoeba. Culturally it represents pure love and charity. Not necessarily passion but love for family, friends, God.

Traven is the second largest of the moons. It is a light-blue color with water and the rock has been identified as aquamarine; however some have said it is made of CuSO4+8H2O (Hydrated Copper Sulfate). Perhaps it is from both. Culturally it represents Good Works, as the Ya'akovan language name implies (Travah + Ven).

Fi is the final and smallest moon, but it is the brightest of the three. Its surface is made of the same rock as Earth's moon, but it actually has as much gold as rock, giving it a light gold color with certain patches of moon-rock. It represents Faith and Intelligence.

The Shadow World
There is actually a fourth satellite that travels between the planet and its own sun. This is an astronomical rarity where a planet orbits between two stars and even more so between a planet and a star. This travels and reaches the planet the same time every year. It is actually a gas giant with extremely not dense material floating on its surface. It also has its own people living on it, the Twili from the Hylian Realm. They swear loyalty to the Kingdom and it is considered a part of its provinces.

Continents
The majority of the planet is fulled with water, about 70%. Having said that, there are four main landmasses: Ya'akolan, Novir America, Nortlan, and Turila. The biggest of them is the continent of Ya'akolan where the kingdom capital resides. In here there is a variety of climate: deserts, plains, mountains, a volcano, lakes and rivers, tundra, valleys, gorges, just about all climates and biomes. Novir America is unusually like Earth's American Continent, and is by far the most isolated of the continents (to the far west). It and Ya'akolan are about the same size, just somewhat smaller. Its biomes are just as varied as Ya'akolan. Nortlan is the smallest of all being about the size of Greenland and the most northern. It is entirely covered in snow and has very short and cold summers and has a city resembling Arendelle. Turila is a unique continent in which the radiation is somewhat higher than all other continents. It is ideal and a home to the Turians of the planet and their unique animals. This is a phenomenon unique to this planet where one continent has little magnetic field. It has unique biomes as well, just like the first two.

History
For most of the time, the world was not populated. Somehow the Ya'akovan then after hundreds of years emerged somehow. It was unknown how, but they emerged in the year 2E 0046. They emerged after the First Great Collapse and were scarcely tribal. They had some intelligence, but had about child-level intelligence and did not know right from wrong. Then the king came to the planet with many others. War soon ensued for many years and the king kept trying to unify the fractured peoples. It must be known that the Ya'akovan were simply smart animals- the king called them people but only because of their intelligence level, because they only acted on instinct. Because of this, the people automatically chose what they felt was right, rather than what was and accepting liberty (they were fine with oppression for this very cause that they chose loyalty to their group, which that is not a bad thing rather the fact they were in dishonorable causes). After defeating all other nations and unifying the entire planet, they reorganized the government from a confederation of quasi-sovereign states to American Federal Demoautoarchy. In this, the states became one solid province. The people soon expanded off this planet and thereby created the empire Kingdom. It was attacked many times and even was destroyed by the Great Collapse Wars. Nothing remained while the planet soon decayed during the collapses but was always healed and found again and recolonized. Now it is a prospering planet that is united and full of hope.

Culture
The culture of the planet is highly based on Human, Ya'akovan, and Turian influences. The art and architecture highly reflect this as there are many statues of historical humans, Ya'akovans, and Turians. Even some of the music blends the two together. The planet has always been a melting-pot of cultures, as so with the entire kingdom. Even the name of the planet is human and Ya'akovan to an extent, Ya'mundar being a mixture of the words "Ya'akov" (the name of the king meaning United One) and "Mundar" (World or Planet). Even the names of the cities- Sanci ve Ya'akova (Sanctuary or City) (of) (Jacobia or United), Citadel, Novir Cipritine (New Citpritine)- have influences from the peoples here.

Architecture and Cities
There are thousands of cities on the planet, some of the most prominent are engineering and architectural wonders. In the capital of the kingdom, Sanci ve Ya'akova, it somewhat mirrors the Imperial City from the Realm of Nirn. Its buildings are built with stone and an adamantium layer to protect it from much destruction that comes from living on the planet (but this is not unique as all buildings follow this engineering format). In the city is structured in districts: Palace, Center Plaza, Liberty, Mustard Seed, and River Mouth.

The Palace District contains, as the name implies, contains the Castle of Ya'akova. It is a marvel of engineering as well as beauty. The front building is the throne room, home to the Throne of the Stars (it gets its name from the diamonds that make it and that the kingdom expands across the stars of the Realm of the Spore). It is actually two stories but the second is a level only of stain-glass windows. Between the first and second buildings is a room with a glass roof. It is a marvel because inside is home to the Great Tree of Faith, which symbolizes faith being planted as a seed and growing to a great tree, about 20 ft. high. The First story of the second building contains a library, a storehouse, kitchens, dining room, a ballroom, and a great library containing a synopsis of the entire collection of information amassed by the kingdom. What makes this level special is its sheer size, its grand and flawless marble and oak staircase, and being supported simply by marble columns with nothing in the center. to support the higher levels. The Second is famous for its grand chandelier made from a phosphorescent stone making it seem like a rainbow. There are not many of these in existence, only in here and in temples in the nation. Besides this there are columns and several rooms, including the personal treasury and storeroom of King Jacob I and the Persian Balcony. There is also a staircase that leads to the third floor which has two merging into one, symbolizing unity. The Third floor is home to the Chamber of Leadership (the office of the king) and the King's Quarters. There is not much in here except for the Balcony of Speech and the Ponderous Balcony. This floor is more homey and simple due to its living quarters. However, this leads to the most symbolic region of the entire palace. The Final area is the Tower of Liberty. It is multiple floors of defense built to protect the Beacon of Liberty- the symbol of universal freedom, truth, and righteousness- and the American and symbolic flag on either side. Its first floor is flooded and barricaded. The second is covered with laser pylons and needs the Faith, Work, and Love keys to unlock the next level. Without that, the person cannot proceed to the next accessible level (the true next three are mazes designed to trap those who would seek to destroy these symbols so that they could be arrested). This next level is the outdoor balcony with a view of the region of Jacobia (where the capital and surrounding lands are) and the next floor is home to the automaton Libertus who decides if one has pure intentions. The last floor is home to those symbols. The basement is a shelter for all, for it holds copies of all records and information known to the kingdom, along with some art and symbolic items. The palace has its own grounds that are simple but beautiful. At the gates, there is the Grand Palace Plaza, a cultural exchange with shops and homes surrounding this and then around the palace, but this is one of the most beautiful areas in the entire city.

Center Plaza District is another plaza and is perhaps even more architecturally beautiful than the Grand Palace Plaza with its arches and the Arboretum. It also includes the Fountain of Dreams, a fountain of pure water symbolizing the realm as a thought. On the Northwest side facing east is a temple and a church house built for the LDS Church. Across from this at the Northeast is the Grand Hotel, where visitors from all over the galaxy travel to. The Southwest is home to many homes and apartments. The Southeast is home to this and Palace District's civil services like fire, medical, police, and school. The Arboretum is to the north, where it is simply a city garden-park. It holds tree specimens from all over the planet and has statues and memorials for many famous and memorable people.

Mustard Seed is the district where universities, libraries, and research centers are centered, along with houses and some commerce.

Liberty is home to different religious buildings, government offices, and commerce buildings that are used to improve the nation. It is home to the national cemetery and the city military base which serves this nation and the higher nation, the United States of America. Perhaps the most architecturally beautiful building is the Capitol, which serves as the capital of the Citizens' Senate.

River Mouth District is the dock district and home to the poorer houses (although this would be middle-class today). Here is the mouth of the Riverton River and the Primavera Ocean.

Another city, Citadel, mirrors just as the Citadel in the Mass Effect Realm with lesser-class people in the outer districts and the government and diplomatic offices in the center. In the center of this city is the Citadel Tower, home to the kingdom's Citadel Council, which the architecture of this city and building is the exact same.

The architecture of the houses is generally the same with gold-copper topped roofs and arches, and thus it is with most of the city buildings, although it is not required nationally so long as it doesn't interfere with other properties.

Other cities can mirror modern Earth cities, medieval cities, or even alien cities, for there is not requirement, although most are generally unique from the others.

Freelands
This is the name given to the areas of the planet that are not occupied by the cities. Mostly what occupies this are farms, factories, utilities, and monuments. That said, most of the planet is still unoccupied even from these.
