===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.

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.
==Government and Tribal Rule==
==Government and Tribal Rule==
===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.
==The Tribal Borders==
==The Tribal Borders==
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 Verkimlund Security forces (1935-Present)===
The Modern Security forces in Verkimlund have gone through multiple iterations and large scale reformations.

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.
