The Armed State Of Verkimlund, formerly The Confederated Dominion Of Verkimlund And Teleland, commonly known as Verkimlund, is a sovereign nation in south west Cancodia. The nation includes the States of Kettalli, Transvaal, Nurt Cape, Tetlebele, and The Cape. The nation shares a land border with Traestan on its north western face and a land border with Nostrapais on its eastern side, to its south is the Vozun Ocean. The union of Verkimlund and Teleland (The greater collection of Kettali and Telebele) was signed into law in 1893 with the Colonial Communion Act of the same year. The small nation boosts a reasonable military for its size and wealth due to a long running tradition of National Service particularly among minority groups. Verkimlund is a signed Member of the International Trade Sphere aswell as International Space Cooperation Program. Exports from the nation are largely Raw Minerals and Small arms sold to private individuals.
Etymology
The Name "Verkimlund" Roughly translates from Verkim To "New Land" but older texts of Verkim settlers actually translate it to "Our Land" Taken litterally the name translates to "Land of Verkim" which has led to some controversy among non Verkim Speaking Populations of the nation
History
Precolonial History(?-1750)
Arrival of Dolphik Settlers(1752)
Traveling aboard the HMS New Hope, Captain Thomas Seafourth, a captain of the Royal Navy, Originally sighted The coast of Verkimlund in 1750 while mapping the Vozun Ocean for Royal Navy Charts, Originally thought of only as farmland and gazing grounds exploration groups set out to evaluate the land for the growing of crops in demand in Dolphikland at the time, these groups eventually reached what would later be named the Nurt cape where they found an abundance of Gold and other Raw Minerals. Six years after the first group landed in 1758 an authorised effort led by Paul Valber landed on The Cape establishing a Colony at Wekeland, in the south west of the Verkimland Plain's work began to build the necessary infrastructure to allow mining and feeding of the mining population, To allow this to happen without needing to use local, illiterate and non dolfik speaking labour, prisoners from the mainland were utilised as labourers, these labourers coming from industrial canters and criminal backgrounds began using Local Theives Cants from around Dolifkland to communicate without the knowledge of their Dolphik guards, this would evolve and soon became what would be recognised as Verkim.
