Yudonia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fictional country in the Nickelodeon TV show, Drake & Josh. Josh's pen pal Yooka hails from this nation.

The supposed location of Yudonia is not directly stated in the episode, but there are a number of clues. Yooka's accent is probably intended to sound Eastern European and the name 'Yudonia' resembles Yugoslavia or Romania, with a Latin 'ia' suffix meaning 'land'. Yooka's father is a billionaire, possibly meaning that he is a former Soviet business oligarch. These clues point to an Eastern European or former Soviet nation.

However, other facts about Yudonia seem to just be xenophobic notions of a foreign country from an American stand point. The goat, or 'Glockmah' in the national language, is sacred for Yudonians. They seem to have no religion that exists in the real world, such as the orthodox Christianity or Islam common to Yudonia's supposed region. 'Ick Glockmah', The Beleached Goat, is the only film ever to be produced in Yudonia. Yudonians sometimes wear fez hats, associated more with North Africa than Eastern Europe.
