==== The Era of Resettlement ====

This era was marked by the end of Meloncraft and the exodus of many Yoahtlans to Civcraft 2.0. This era began in Meloncraft and was characterized by a sense of being lost and purposeless. The community struggled to survive and adapt to the new environment of Civcraft. This era came to an end with the coming of the Goodspringers and St_Leibowitz, the future Alcuahtl, who took a look at Yoahtl's governing traditions and found them lacking.

==== The Era of Dissent ====

This era was the era of Yoahtl's many attempts at a constitution and governmental reform. It was an era formed out of the necessity of change to the community that came from being on a new server. However, the incongruity between the attempted reforms and Yoahtl's traditions led to a period of intense disorganization and power struggles, allowing proliferation of selfish interests. Faced with the ongoing infighting and ineffective governance brought on by corruption and poor governmental reforms, the community split and shattered, leaving Yoahtl nearly dead. During the worst of these times, Yoahtl consisted of Quauhtli_Mia, Klasikrok, WackyAki, And St. Leibowitz.

==== The Era of Reclaimation ====

This era is marked by the return to traditions and a more informal governing style and focus on community rather than politics. This era began after the arrival of Yoahtl to its current home. This era also is marked with the removal of redundant or useless laws and regulation and ensuring that those in power make rules to serve the populace and build community rather than gaining power. This era has come of age during the [[Somber War]], but ended with the Lex vault break and the formation of [[SATO]].

'''The Era of Resurgence'''

This era has yet to be defined, because we're currently in it.

The capital of the Yoahtlan kingdom, often known simply as NYC. Built on a great terracotta mesa/dark oak forest island in the (-,+) after the Yoahtlans were chased out of their own home, Axochitlan, it is a dense metropolis built around the philosophy that activity begets activity. While most cities and towns on the server are large and sprawling, Yoahtl maintains strict dereliction policies in order to keep the urban center as bustling as possible. New players who are not yet sure of their commitment to the game are offered apartments in one of the many public housing buildings. In order to maximize use of space as well as for aesthetic reasons, citizens are encouraged to build their living and storage quarters above their shops in a mixed-use arrangement. Space-intensive economic activity such as farming is done outside the walls.

== Leadership ==

The leader of Yoahtl is the Alcuahtl. The way one becomes Alcuahtl is to be selected by the current Alcuahtl to serve as their successor, although this has more frequently than not been the Deputy Alcuahtl. The Alcuahtl is the absolute ruler, but they are not above the law and the citizenry are allowed to take the Alcuahtl to trial. The Alcuahtl has access to the entirety of the government wealth, but such wealth can only be used for governmental purposes. The current Alcuahtl is Feathercrown.

The Deputy Alcuahtl is similar to a vice president, and has the full power of the Alcuahtl when they are not around. They also help the Alcuahtl by doing duties delegated to them by the Alcuahtl. They are elected from the Council by the Council.

The nation is also ruled by a group of councillors. These councillors are citizens who were elected to their position in order to foster community, pass laws and lead the nation in accordance with the Alcuahtl. The deputy Alcuahtl is a councillor as well, but the Alcuahtl is not. The current councillors consist of only Tigen.
