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.
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.
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.
Brechenlass allied with the Axis Powers during World War II, and Kedalfax allied with the 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.
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.

However, in recent years the amount of girls born has exceeded that of boys and it is expected that should the trend continue, there will be an equal amount of females and males in Kedalfax by 2015. A reversal of the current situation (with thusly 1.022 females for every male) would then most likely occur by 2020 or 2021.
Same-sex marriages have been allowed under the national law since 1980, however in some areas they are looked down upon.
In 2004, the government legalized the changing of gender in legal matters. The operations had been legal since their invention, however until 2004 the gender on the person's birth certificate, driver's license, and other legal documents could not be changed.

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
