==History==
 +
Kedalfax was discovered by Dutch explorer Peiter Kedaalf in 1703. It became a Dutch colony, known variously as Kedaalfiea and Kedaalfa. By the mid 1800s, the name had evolved to Kedalfax.
  
−
*President: Hon. Francais Sebuu
+
In 1810, the colony was taken by the British. In the late 1891, the Dutch attempted to re-capture Kedalfax. The revolutionaries used this to revolt. This revolt soon became the [[Mid-Simtropolis War]]. After the war, Kedalfax and the other nations in the area agreed on mutual boarders and sovereignty. Kedalfax maintained peace until World War II.

The 1920s saw a large increase in the economy. Stock prices skyrocketed between 1923 and 1929. In October of 1929, the US stock market failed. News of the market failing reached Kedalfax on Sunday, October 27, 1929. At first, only slight drops were seen in the [[KSX]] averages. The next day, prices seemed to level back off again until late in the day, when news of the size of the US Market crash reached Kedalfax. Within the last two hours of the market day, the KSX average dropped by over K$250,000. This was the start of Kedalfax's Great Depression. Despite much quicker reactions by the government, the Kedalfaxian economy still followed trends of the American economy.

'''Federal Government''':

In late 1929, ___ became the leader of [[Brechenlass]]. ___ was a fascist who promised to bring back the glory of Brechenlass' First Empire. ___ soon gained control of much of the area around Brechenlass, including much of what are now [[Eisophca]], [[Saidercray]], and the [[Grosseschnauzer|Schnauzerlands]].

The government of the Federation of Kedalfax is a centrist democracy. The president has almost no power. His job is mostly to be a figure head for the government. All laws are voted on by two seperate but equal organizations known as Congress and Senate. In Congress, there are two representatives for each province. They are elected once every four years. In the Senate, there is one representative for every million citizens in a province. Each province must have at least two representatives. However, since no province has ever had less than three million residents, this is just a safeguard. Senators are elected once every four years. For a law to pass, it must gain the majority in Congress, and then be passed on to Senate, and get the majority there. If it fails to get the Senate majority, it is passed back to Congress, where 4/5 must agree. If it passes, it will go back to the Senate, where it must get at least 1/3 of the votes. Then it is passed to the president, who can veto it. If he does, it will go back to the senate, and will need 1/6 of the votes. If it gets through all of this process, it goes to one last step. If it is a law regarding civil or political freedoms, it goes on the ballot in the next election. It must gain the popular vote here to pass. If it is not, it will pass without going to citizen vote. If someone is to break a state law, the matter will go before local court.  
+
 +
Brechenlass allied with the [[Wikipedia:Axis Powers|Axis Powers]] during World War II, and Kedalfax allied with the [[Wikipedia:Allies_of_World_War_II|Allied Powers]]. In 1941, following the Brechenlasian attack on Frederick Bay, Kedalfax joined the war. Kedalfax focused mostly on Brechenlass, but also sent aid and troops to the European front. In 1945, Brechenlass surrendered. Kedalfax helped to set up an democratic government and sent large amounts of aid.

The Federal Supreme Court decides on all lawsuits against the government. It has 7 judges, who vote as to what the verdict shall be. Judges may not stop a law from being passed, unless it goes to citizen election, in which case they have the exact same amount of power as everyone else. They can, however, decide that a law is unconstitutional, but only if a citizen brings it up in a case against the government. Should they decide the law is not valid, it shall be repealed and all people held under that law will be released. The decisions of the court may be contested four years after they are passed. Decisions of the court may be contested as many times as nececcary.
+
Since World War II, Kedalfax has not declared war, nor had war declared on it. With the exception of some terrorist attacks and retaliations, Kedalfax has been a pacifistic nation.
  
−
Elections are staggered so that the President is elected in a year divisable by 4, Senators and Congressmen are elected the next year. The year after that is Provincial elections (Governor, Provincial Senate, etc.) and the year after that is local elections (D.A., Mayor, etc.). No officer of the government is allowed to spend more than 2 election cycles or 10 years in office.

In 1493, Juan Delon landed at what would one day be Delon City. He is considered to be the first person to ever discover Kedalfax. Seing the incredable hillyness of the area, he decided to set up a colony. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Fransisco SanFransisco] for mor information on hilly Spanish colonies. By 1551, They had moved accros the mountains to Los Diablos. In 1600, the English decided to capture the area. They managed to do so by 1662, and had also founded the new colony of Newland. By 1664, they had managed to opress the people to the point of revolution, and in 1666, the new Republic of Kedalfax was formed. In 1929, the Great Depression struck, and the already suffering economy died. Another year later, and the nation had changed into the Communist Union of Kedalfax. Communism survived until the Soviet Union started collapsing, and Kedalfax went with it.
+
==Climate==
 +
Kedalfax's climate is generally temperate, with the northern areas slightly warmer due to the warming effects of the gulf.
  
−
The southern section of Kedalfax was very against communism, and so they revolted. The war raged on for about a year, at which point the nations agreed to stop fighting, and to erect two walls, which no man was ever to pass until such time as the nations agreed to join together under one government. On June 4, 1991, the Federation of Kedalfax was declared a sovergn nation, ruled by it's self. Coincidentally, this was the 21st birthday of Hon. Francais Sebuu, the leader of The Federation of Kedalfax.

 +
=== Ethnicity ===
 +
In the last census, Kedalfax's population was stated as 20,852,203 citizens. An additional 3.2 million non-citizens live in Kedalfax, mostly in the cities. An estimated 1.2 million Kedalfaxian citizens live in other nations.
  
−
The Federation apparently was formed at exactly the right time, because the economy boomed. Then, on June 4, 1999, another tragedy struck. A large bomb went off outside of the newly completed Eastland Plaza in Newland. It destroyed the plaza, along with the nearby fire house. As fires raged throughout the downtown area, more bombs went off, collapsing subways and rail tunnels, making it impossible to access the area. The entire area was destroyed, along with parts of the residential districts. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, along with trillions of kedalfs. The corperations that were based there suffered severe losses in stock value, and people all over the nation suffered losses. It was then that the nation decided that Big Buisiness had to go. People started boycotting the Walmarts and chain stores in favor of smaller, more local stores. Some corperations still survived, but they didn't even try to be as big. This event shaped the way Kedalfax would be forever.
+
Kedalfax is not very ethnically diverse. Though major immigration between 1946 and 1975 did increase the ethnic spread, the nation remains mostly Caucasian. Below is a table comparing different ethnic percentages inthe 1944, 1976, and 2004 censuses.

During all of this, the Communist Union of Kedalfax was trying to convince the government to go communist.the government was about to consider it, when the man who did the attacks was caught. He was found with a severe case of radiation poisoning, and minutes before dieing, he said "I will never reveal that the CKIB [Communist Kedalfax Investigation Beauro] made me do this!" The CUK denied involvment, and so did the Federation when the largest city in the CUK was attacked by a simmilar bomb. Many people thought this would be the rekindeling of the Kedalfax war, but it cooled down again fast.

The food in Kedalfax has a reputation for being dull and boring. This reputation comes from before Kedalfax's immigration waves in the 1950s until the 1970s. These waves brought in interesting food from [[Pacitalia]], [[Wikipedia:China|China]], [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]], and [[Wikipedia:Mexico|Mexico]], as well as many other nations. While perhaps not the most interesting or diverse cuisine in the world, Kedalfaxian cuisine has become worth a try.

Founding Nation

The Federated States of Kedalfax, commonly referred to as Kedalfax is an environmentally stunning nation, located on the western side of South Simtropolis. Kedalfax is a member of the NSUN and the International Extradition Treaty organizations, among others.

Kedalfaxians, as they are known, are generally a socially libertarian people. Although certainly not the most libertarian nation in the world citizens and foreigners enjoy great social and economic freedom.

Kedalfax participates in regional affairs, including high involvement in the introduction of regional standards. Kedalfax is currently leading the push for an intraregional, intercontinental highway.

The Kedalfaxian Department of Defence focuses on maintaining strong naval power, though cuts in funding have made this harder.

Kedalfax was discovered by Dutch explorer Peiter Kedaalf in 1703. It became a Dutch colony, known variously as Kedaalfiea and Kedaalfa. By the mid 1800s, the name had evolved to Kedalfax.

The next day, prices seemed to level back off again until late in the day, when news of the size of the US Market crash reached Kedalfax. Within the last two hours of the market day, the KSX average dropped by over K$250,000. This was the start of Kedalfax's Great Depression. Despite much quicker reactions by the government, the Kedalfaxian economy still followed trends of the American economy.

In late 1929, ___ became the leader of Brechenlass. ___ was a fascist who promised to bring back the glory of Brechenlass' First Empire. ___ soon gained control of much of the area around Brechenlass, including much of what are now Eisophca, Saidercray, and the Schnauzerlands.

Culture

Kedalfax is known for its natural beauty, and the art inspired by it. Kedalfax has not been a large contributor to the modern art trend; its contributions toward art tend to favor more traditional landscapes and portraits.

Music out of Kedalfax has also not changed much after the mid 1970s. The most popular band is K, which has been on the forefront of culture since the mid 1990s.

The food in Kedalfax has a reputation for being dull and boring. This reputation comes from before Kedalfax's immigration waves in the 1950s until the 1970s. These waves brought in interesting food from Pacitalia, China, Germany, and Mexico, as well as many other nations. While perhaps not the most interesting or diverse cuisine in the world, Kedalfaxian cuisine has become worth a try. See Also: Kedalfaxian English, K, Kedalfaxian Cuisine

Economy

Kedalfax's economy is a slightly socialized form of capitalism. Services like water, power, and public transportation are government-owned, but sometimes contract out to private companies.
