Yaq, also known as *Yaqefbe*, is the home of columbimorphs (pigeons, doves, cuckoos), palaeognathae (ostriches, kiwis, cassowaries, emus), galloanserae (ducks, geese, peacocks, chickens, pheasants), Pelecanimorphae (pelicans, herons, storks, shoebills), and phoenicopteriformes (flamingos and grebes). It is a barren and craggy land with poor soil atop its many plateaus, whose sustenance is largely derived from its plentiful waterways at the bottom of its numerous cliffs. Of all the nations of Gondwana, this nation's people are physically the strongest.
