Ydiwealth (Ywdi: Ywdiriĉecó; Latinican: Ywdiriqueza; Evämaan: Ywdirikkaudet) officially Ydiwealth Republic (Ywdi: Ywdiriĉecó Respublikó; Latinican: República de Ywdiriqueza; Evämaan: Ywdirikkaudet Tasalavta) is a sovereign state in the central Wulfor. The country is bordered by Florea to the north, Lucreania to the east, W9 to the south and southeast, W4 to the southwest, and Vihorlat to the west.

It covers an area of 320,434 square kilometres and is inhabited by approximately 24,673,440 inhabitants. That makes it the 43rd largest country by area and the 36th largest by population. The capital is Ivo Urbó; other major cities are San Xoros and Vihreä.

Ydiwealth is home to the Ywdi people, an ethnic group currently divided into two main linguistic communities: the Latinican community, which constitutes about 50 percent of the population, and the Evämaan community, which constitutes about 45 percent of the population. The Ywdi language is spoken almost everywhere in the country and it is the language of the the Ivo Urbó Capital Region, which is officially trilingual in Ywdi, Latinican and Evämaan. The Alamitto region in the north of the country is the home of the Latinican community, while the Jääteemu region is home to the Evämaan speaking community. Ydiwealth's linguistic diversity is related to the regional conflicts of the past; the situation is now stabilised, thanks to the creation of the Ydiwealth Republic, which is considered one of the best examples of unity in Fantasia.

Ydiwealth is a sovereign state with a parliamentary representative democracy. It is divided into three highly autonomous regions: Alamitto in the north (populated mostly by Latinican-speakers), Jääteemu region in the south (populated mostly by Evämaan-speakers), and the Ivo Urbó Capital Region.
