This direct rule government saw a period of immigration from Native regions of the nation, this prompted a period of rapid and largely military exploration of the Kettali land, largly by Scout elements of the newly formed Kaisers Verkim Legion, this exploration saw a new period of diplomacy between Verkim and Kettali populations, with the Colonial Office paying for multiple diplomatic missions including intervention in Tribal warfare within the Kettali lands, such intervention normally featured petty arbitration, but in 1801 a campaign of direct military involvement brought much of the Kettali land into Verkim control. This control was largely a hands off approach but the promise of hefty investment and the training of Kettali kraal militia brought a number of eastern kraals under the control of the Colonial Office, by 1820 the Kettali region was considered as part of the main nation, and the Colonial Office completed the construction of a network of routes through the bush to interconnect the Cape-Kettali Region

   −
This period also saw the Signing of the Tetlebele Agreement in 1821, joining the small nation of Tetlebeleland to the larger state as a sovereign state. Period documents show that this agreement was signed under the threat of invasion by Neighbouring Kettali Kraal Militas armed and Trained by the Colonial Office as part of a separate agreement with the Cape-Kettali to aid in the defence of the Kraals from one another. While the Cape-Kettali Expansions Progressed Quickly and allowed far more lucrative Mining interests to be opened using local workforces and defended by local militias however the combined expansion of mining efforts and Verkim military forces led to accusations of profetering by elements of the Kettali in the region that became known as The Main. Expansion into The Main was A slow and diplomatically painful endeavour involving numerous kraal wars backed by Verkim Allied Kraals in the region by the end of 1880 The Main fell in line with the rest of the nation and made up most of the population, however, seeing opportunities for wealth and education in the Cape, the population centers of Verkimlund would shift to the Cape and Cape-Kettali by the turn of the century. Legally the status of the Kettali was the same as any other verkim citizen at the time, with a landed voting system. At the time no legal or institutional ruling preventing Kettali from taking part in the administration of the nation, however by the time of Self Rule in 1893 no Kettali national sat in any position of power, and short of the Kaisers Kettali Legion, established in 1882 no Kettali sat in command of troops within the military forces of the Colonial Office. In 1884 Ian Dokval Rose to the position of Colonial Governor replacing his Dolfik Predecessor, seeing the lack of Kettali involvement in the administration of the nation as a waste of valuable resources, with Kettali and Cape Kettali being organised by Dolfik Officials he set out to create a council of Large Kraals that could administrate the Kettali regions without needing Dolfik Supervision, this this end the Tribal Council was created from the largest contributors to security in the Kettali and Cape-Kettali Regions, by the end of the Direct rule Period the Colony, Under Ian Dokval was almost entirely self sufficient, With only Token Dolfik involvement in the form of Liasons and Customs officials, The Colonial Military had expanded to be more than able to defend itself, volunteering for foreign service with the Greater Dolfik Army of the day. and numerous institutions had arising from the Dokval Leadership, Localised Fire Departments, and A national Colonial Police Service had replaced the Militia system of old. This new self Sufficient structure would lend itself well to the continued prosperity of the colony and unintentionally laid the groundship for future reforms to legislation and policy.

===Self Rule (1893)===
 
===Self Rule (1893)===
 +
The Colonial Office was Disbanded in 1983 and replaced almost immediately by what would become the National Government established by the Charter Of Self Rule, signed in 1893 which created the Confederation of Teleland and Verkimlund an impromptu arrangement designed to placate what was at the time an apprehensive Kettali population by offering the same legal status as Teleland, however the attempt proved unsuccessful and in 1920 the legal status of Teleland was revoked, with the tribal council taking its place in the legislature, while Legally still bound to the Dolfik Crown and owing tithe to the crown as such the government of the new nation was largly free to act as it wished and did so frequently rewriting and outright nullifying Dolfik laws left over from Direct rule, there were multiple such attempts, particularly from parliament who notably tried and failed on two attempts to remove the legal authority of the dolfik crown before succeeding in 1920
    
===End of the Confederation (1920)===
 
===End of the Confederation (1920)===
 +
The end of the confederation came about from a mixture of discontent at home, and international pressures, particularly from Kerthenia who not only drafted but ratified the charter of self rule Previously, no specific date or time marks the exact end of the confederation but most accounts mark it as 1920.

===Baydorian Conflict (Present)===
 +
In late 2020, conflict arose between the allies of Barkadia and the Dolphik Commonwealth, Sparking a constitutional Crisis in Verkimlund, Caused by the outbreak of the Baydorian Civil war, and Dolphik intervention against communist guerillas in the region, Barkadia became involved upon their recognition of the Baydorian Communist party as the Rightful Government of Baydor. Housevaaler at the request of Prime Minister Pieter Koch, Reaffirmed their commitment to the Independence convention and declined to join the war on either side, signing into law a Neutrality Agreement for the duration of the conflict. With the Assistance of East Kara's Air force, Verkim Forces sent to join the Initial Intervention force were recalled.
 +
 +
====Operation Paveway====
 +
Shortly after the Singing of the Neutrality Act Internally, the Prime Minster went before the house and proposed plans to purchase crown land for the use of treating Commonwealth casualties to satisfy the nations debt to the commonwealth that the nation could no longer uphold by military means, However, when the plans were approved the Prime Minister announced plans to expand this Effort with Operation Paveway, a military, diplomatic and humanitarian effort to transform large parts of the crown lands, locations without Cultural, or Wildlife Considerations, or locations in which the Local Kraals Offered the use of their land IE, Teleland to be used for the construction and future administration of the largest Humanitarian effort In International History, with new Hospitals, Airfields, JOCs, and support facilities, build in quick order using Prefabricated blocks and internationally supplied materials, and Personnel, the Operation presented to parliament originally, featured Full scale Martial Law in Key Areas, Namely Salisbury, and Estvel, but was scaled back to Salisbury International and Estvel Harbor exclusively. this plan Initially was a entirely internal Affair, expecting to open for commonwealth causalities within the month, with full operation within a year.
 +
 +
It quickly became a concern that should Humanitarian aid be exclusive it would set a precedent for future conflict and thus a second neutrality act was drafted, Ratified by Ambassadors from Anderia, Barkadia, Dolphikland, Lorbs, and Tunguska, this Act established a recognized state of safety in and around Verkimlund, with dedicated and Protected shipping and air routes, for the evacuation of casualties from both sides in the conflict, Pieter Koch also wrote and traveled to as many nations as possible, both combatants and none combatant nations asking for Personnel, both civilian and military for this effort. by the start of operations, The following organizations had been created and were operating by the end of the year as planned. International Support was organized into a task force structure for allocation of resources and effort, organized largely by the Army logistics Regiment.

Verkimlund extended an offer to all those who came to assist a full Military Wage consistent with equivalent military rank, most military's declined for political reasons but Civilian Volunteers where not offered the choice, receiving a Troopers wage, and Pension, a decision from the Prime Minister that Parliament lashed against for economic reasons. Military Formations operating under this banner acted within their own structure within the greater structure of their task force, where possible Companies from warring nations where kept separate but this was not always operationally possible.
 +
 +
====Established Facilites====
 +
=====Estvel=====
 +
Gramthem House, a Royal Household owned and maintained by the Verkimlund Government was converted and its estate seized for conversion into Medical Faculties when operations expanded to include "OPFOR" casualties, the faculties quickly became one of the largest, due to the need to construct new barracks on the estate for Staff and Patients, the facility filled with internationally provided equipment quickly became the best provisioned in the nation and most likely in the region.
 +
=====Salisbury=====
 +
Salisbury International, once a Joint Civilian-Military Airport, was seized entire for Military flights, acting as the main artery for the flow of equipment and casualties, with an expanded hanger pool and onsite ambulance service being constructed, civilian flights were diverted to Estvel Airport, a second airport is being constructed in Salisbury to act as the civilian hub for travel.
 +
=====Teleland=====
 +
After the conversion of Salisbury international the Kraal council of Teleland once more stepped forward to serve, as they did with the expansion of national service, Offering the use of their land for medical facilities, In addition to the military faculties, a Ranger station and local hospital were constructed on site, not as well provisioned as the military site, but better than the local ambulance service it replaces.

===Housevaaler and Parliment===
 
===Housevaaler and Parliment===
 +
 +
Government In verkimlund comes from the majority party of Housevaaler, currently the National Security Alliance Lead by Pieter Kock, this is a coalition of the National Front, and Liberal Party.
 +
The majority party elects a leader to act as prime minister who then selects his minsters from Housevaaler and tribal council, traditionally the tribal council will reject any others of ministerial responsibility due to the responsibility they face within their tribal nation
 +
Housevaaler is the primary house of parliament, Traditionally serving the Dolphik and Verkim landowning populations of the nation but now serving any area within the land of the nation not held by the tribal reserves, with one representative elected for every area of 10,000 citizens (Counted as one citizen per occupied household).
 +
 +
Government in Verkimlund was functionally an extension of the Dolphik kings authority during the age of colonisation, and in hounour of this legacy the flag of Dolphiland flys above the building of Housevaaler when the house is not in session being replaced by the national flag when the house enters session.
    
===The Tribal Council===
 
===The Tribal Council===
 
+
The Tribal Council is made up of the tribal elders of each of the 27 recognised tribal nations but could in theory expand to incloud any of the 3 currently unrecognised tribal nations upon the reserves should the council vote to include them. Requirements for membership in the Tribal Council Incloude, A Tribal militia Subservient to and armed by the Verkimlund Government, A Definitive Single Organisation or leader with authority over the tribal nation, Acceptance by a majority of the current members of the tribal council.

===Company Milita (1795-1893)===
 
===Company Milita (1795-1893)===
 +
The Company Milita, Known Colloquially as "The Company Men" as a defensive formation of Main Line Infantry used mainly for garrison and public order duties. The duties of the Company Men rapidly expanded in the years leading to, during and immediately after the Verkin Rebellion. The Main Line Infantry of the company militia used a standard company of 170 men organised into a standard structure of 3 platoons under 3 sergeants and 6 corporals, with each garrison of the Milita supplementing its own NCO ranks in place of both one such supplemented rank was the use of Trooper instead of Private Soldier, This term rose in adoption to the point that it remains the standard rank of the Verkim Security Force.
 +
 +
Acting as a secondary guard force for the mines of the prison colony, but more importantly executing multiple campaigns alongside Dolphik troops against Native forces particularly in Teleland meant that the Company found itself over stretched in its role, unable to secure commerce routes within the colony Leading to the creation of the Verkim Rangers, who would later Rebel and be temporally disbanded in the Verkim Rebellion.
 +
 
===The Legionary Force (1893-1935)===
 
===The Legionary Force (1893-1935)===
 +
The Legionary force of the great war, was originally intended as a stopgap formation to provide support to colonial partners during the conflict but very quickly became a permanent institution as Dolphik supply proved unable to keep up with a more advanced colonial force, this led to a rapid and liberal change of tact, domestically produced equipment produced at home paired with new troop organisations featureing 6-8 man sections instead of the larger dolphik units. The Legionary force was slowly Phased Out and Replaced By The Modern Security Forces. The Legionary formations Saw Extensive Use in Dolphik actions where they were used as specialist light infantry, particularly in the invasion of Surig.

===The Verkimlund Security forces (1935-Present)===
 +
The Modern Security forces in Verkimlund have gone through multiple iterations and large scale reformations. The forces initially followed the legionary structure, with Garrisons from population centres providing local and national security. After the great war the Security Forces began a rapid mobilisation program reforming into a regimental structure revolving around the basic 120 man, 4 platoon company. this was later changed, with the additions of Dedicated Helicopter Armoured Kar regiments, and the Verkimlund Regiment transitioning into a Mechanised Infantry Regiment With a 120-3 company Structure. At current the Modern Security Forces Are split into The Verkimlund Regiment, The Scouts, The Kar Regiment, Verkimlund Light Infantry, Kettali Rangers, Armoured Regiment, And Police Counter Terror (PCTU). With additions of V Squadron SAS and Various Nation SOF Units. The Organisations of these forces follows the Dolphik paygrade Organisation.

The latest Modernisation Program in 2020, brought the Infantryman of Verkimlund up to the modern international standard. Issuing the SR 5 family of rifles service Wide, the modernisations program began much earlier, with the new "Overt" standard of Body armour and equipment being issued to front service formations as early as late 2018.

The Verkim Security Forces have a proud, and somewhat bloody tradition of allowing photographers and camera crew into routine military operations, this leaves a historical trail of almost every conflict Verkimlund has ever been involved in, with exceptions to planned operations. The Security Forces also keep on hand military photographers, to accompany Forces in high risk areas, this formation technically a specialist position of the Light Infantry Has in the past sent such Specialist Photographers into other nations as unarmed and protected observers, providing documentation of the great war on both sides, notible this tradition has included, with Photographers sent to Heruland with most involved nations, photographing Kerthenian Infantry, and Dolphik Naval operations in famous and heavily used collections.

Leading into the Bush war, Majority representation in the armed forces quadrupled as colonial Tithes and along with them the possibility of being sent abroad to uphold the Dolphik empire ended, all Regiments within the security forces allowing Tele and Kettali recruitment, in 2018 National Service was expanded Due to pressure by Kettali Lobby groups, this expansion meant that instead of all Verkim Men aged 18-23, national service now included All Male Citizens of the nation 18-25 with recruitment now open to those at age 16, in order to allow the recruitment of "Young Soldiers" who gain an extra two years paid training from boot to live fire, before entering active service Via the standard Pipeline.
 +
 +
Following the VAR Family Day Parade Bombing, and subsequent shooting reforms have since passed requiring all active soldiers travelling in uniform to carry firearms and ammunition, this sparked controversy in parliament but passed with a minor majority, the vast majority of citizens, including Active Personnel already Carried firearms daily, but this new legislation required the carrying of service rifles.
 +
 +
The present Security forces, being a National Service based armed force, use a quarterage system of "single issue" it is assumed that all equipment issued to a soldier is in effect gone, this is due to the nations policy of "Private Purchase" when a soldier completes two years of service and either leaves to stays, he is offered the chance to Purchase his equipment including rifle for a token amount, about R200 depending on Regiment.

===The Nurt Cape===

The Nurt Cape, following the northern border of the nation through the mountains of the nation. The Nurt Cape was the original source of dolfik interest in the region due to its comparatively huge reserves of gold found within the mountains themselves, other precious metals have been found within the Nurt Cape but its largest concern historically and within the modern day remains the Gold mining interests that litter its mountains. Areas of the Nurt Cape that are not deemed useful for mining interests are used as training grounds for the Security forces, with the Kakumbura Garrison acting as the main point from which all training in the Nurt Cape is carried out from. This abundance of economic material as well as the symbolism of it being the home ground of the Security Forces made it the site of fighting throughout the Bush War, a fact that continues to the present day.

Cape-Kettalli is the western fringe of The Cape, originally the cause of the Dolfik-Kettali war due to its dual role as home to dozens of Kettali kraals and the logistical hub of the Gold mining operations in the Nurt Cape. in the modern setting it serves as a convenient tourist spot and provides and politically loyal base of Kettali who historically made up the Kettali Legion for the Colonial Government and the Kettali Regiment under self rule, this core of loyal Kettali have reliably voted on policy and law pertaining to the ongoing bush war due to the common event of attacks on their kraals motivated by their historical alignment towards the government.
