Yulong Remnants

The Yulong Remnants (ユーロン地方), formerly known as Yulong Heavenly Empire (天帝国ユーロン), are one of the wastelands which exist after the First Phrase Invasion.

Overview
The Yulong Heavenly Empire was known to attack and conquer lands based on superficial or shallow evidence. At times it would be for no reasons other than the need to conquer other regions for resources .The country is bordered by the Xenoahs Demon Kingdom to the north, the Kingdom of Hannock to the west, the Nokia Kingdom to the east and the Felsen Magic Kingdom and Kingdom of Horn to the south. According to the Lestia Knight Kingdom, Yulong was seen as a shady and untrustworthy nation.

Yulong possessed a black-ops spy organization (much like the Kingdom of Belfast's Espion) called ''Qulau. '' Unlike the former, however, the organization is far more secretive and uses suicide tactics such as self-detonating masks to hide the identities of their operatives.

Yulong itself is considered to be a nation of thieves, liars, cheats and greedy, self-centered people. Some of their less-than savory actions include claiming that the Holy Sword of Lestia was a stolen relic of Yulong. The nation attempted to steal Touya's Frame Gear, but their attempts at theft and assassination all ended in failure.

They would later tried to invade the Hannock Kingdom on the pretense of 'reclaiming ancient lands.' This was in keeping with their claim of Yulong's 7,000 year history, but was immediately discredited by Francesca. In all likelihood, Yulong was after Hannock's rich veins of mithril and orihalcrum deposits. The invasion was repelled thanks to aid from the Brunhild Dukedom After the failed invasion of the Hannock Kingdom, the nation would have the gall to demand that Touya surrender several Frame Gears to them on the claim that they originally belonged to Yulong and that Touya had stolen them. . The Yulong capital and many nearby villages would later be destroyed during a battle between the World Alliance (then known as the Western Alliance) and the Phrase All of these calamities were wrongly blamed on Touya.

The nation would then suffer a large-scale civil war, with many people claiming the empty throne. During this period of instability, an ex-adventurer named Chieh Xiaofah claimed to be the son of the former emperor while possessing a relic that was passed down through the royal family He would then kill off the other self proclaimed children with the aid of the Golden Order and their Iron Machine Soldiers. However, the attempt at seizing power during the coup would end in failure after Touya became involved, leading to the overall collapse of the country and the destruction of the Golden Order.

At present, the region is a lawless wasteland as the Empire's former citizens have either immigrated to other nations or are struggling to survive. All pride in their false 7,000-year history is gone, and the surrounding nations no longer fear invasion from these former warmongers. Yulong would need massive assistance from other nations in order to re-establish itself, but they would not receive it due to their conniving and arrogant actions toward the other countries.
