Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sendersdale's national animal is the Komodo Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

History

- I call the former ruling country(s) as mother country(s). Think British, NS? -

Most of ancient Sendersdale history has been lost and forgotten by most of the world for hundreds of years. All that was known was the era Sendersdale historians refer as the Colonization Era. With new land discovered towards the west, many people of the older nations have been vying for some of it. Many colonies were established around the present day nation. After 100 years of colonies, most of the northern tier colonies banded together to form the new nation of Gallis, cutting connections from their former mother countries.

Period of Colonization and Chaos
The nation of Gallis became increasingly imperialistic. With its eyes focused on the lands in the west, the country ordered much of the population to settle it. This had caused much frustration to the lower colonies (still loyal to their mother countries) as mini skirmishes had become common between Gallis forces and Colonial militia and troops. Soon Gallis stumbled upon the indigenous people of Sendersdale. The Sommish people led an assault on Gallish city-states. With the inner Gallish nation under pressure, the nation went into economic collapse. Coinciding with the clash, most of the colonies merged into one colony under one new mother country after the Fourth Oceanic War (not fought on Sendersdale soil). Seeing the ample opportunity to seize the Gallish government once and for all, Colonial troops razed most of the Gallish lands with help of the Sommish. After the 10 years of instability on in the country, the Sommish became weary of the Colonials. This led to the Second Colonic Wars leading most of Sendersdale in chaos. With accusations against the government of the mother country, and rumours of international intervention against them, the mother country had left present day Sendersdale leaving it in a warlike state.

The Fall of Emperor Hayes, and the Gallish Empire

Period of Calm and Union
As skirmishes with Sommish and post-colonial soldiers decreased, along with much of the former Gallish empire beginning to rebuild itself, many people marked this as the period of calm. The former colonies began to merge into one nation called Logimis. The Sommish people slowly returned to their former lives controlling much of the Western forest, and the Gallish people began to rebuild their nation. Although this period could not last as tensions grew between the New Gallish Republic, Sommish States and the Logimis Republic. With fears of another period of chaos the Gallish and Logimis people met for a way to bring peace to their lands. Originally planned in the conference was a proposal for a Non Aggression Pact. George Sangras instead proposed a union between the two states against the Sommish people. With that the Dominion of Sendersdale was born (the name was taken from linked colonial roots between the nation).

The Fathers of Sendersdale's Confederation.

Period of Reconstruction and Modernization
Despite the union of the two nations, this did not scare much of the Sommish nation. During the Summer Equinox, most of the Sommish Komodo Riders (Komodo Riders was the name of the Sommish riders, they actaully rode horses while wearing a Komodo headdress) devastated outlying cities of the nation. This led to the Agrasi War (Agrsai was the first city to be attacked by Sommish forces). Pushing the Sommish to the tip of the Northwest areas of the land, the Sommish surrendered. The surrender included taking all Sommish lands in the name of Sendersdale. With that, the nation of Sendersdale grew to what is now present day.

Law

Sendersdale's judicary has an important role of interpreting laws and has the power to strike down laws that violate the Constitution. The highest court in Sendersdale is the Supreme Court of Sendersdale. The number of judges the Supreme court has usually is 7 or 9 (although the past 50 years, the Supreme court has had 9). These judges are appointed by the King or Queen of Sendersdale (on the advice of the High Chancellor). Provincial/territorial Superior Courts of Justice's judges are chosen through the same process, although with provincial/territorial involvement. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council is the highest appeals courts for offshore/protectorate countries/colonies. Common law is the basis of the Sendersdale law system. Enforcing these laws is the sole responcibilty of the provincial governments, although the Rogorith Protectorate and the territories depends on the Royal Police Riders of Sendersdale.

Military

The Senderlian Armed Forces (abbreviated as SAF) is the combined forces of Sendersdale's army, air force, and navy. The Sendersdale Armed Forces are divided into six enviromental catagories: LANCOM (Land Command), AIRCOM (Air Command), SEACOM (Naval Command), SENCOM (Sendersdale Command), SEFCOM (Sendersdale Expeditionary Force Command) and SOFCOM (Special Operations Forces Command). The country of Sendersdale practices compulsory military service for atleast 6 months from citizens ages 16 - 20. It is currently unknown if EMI00, Sendersdale's Intelligence force is a part of LANCOM, it's own command, or even apart of the SAF Agreement.

EMI00

EMI00 (pronounced E-ME-Double O) is the intelligence and counter intelligence agency of Sendersdale. Almost nothing is known of this agency other then information released from the government. It is unknown if EMI00 is apart of LANCOM, if it is a command on it's own, or if it is even if it is covered under The Sendersdale Military Act, 1966. If it wasn't that would mean that the agency was officially not apart of Sendersdale Armed Forces. If this is true, then EMI00 reports directly to Ministry of Defense, and not to SAF Command.

Space Expeditionary Unit

The Space Expeditionary Unit is a joint program operated by both the Senderlian Armed Forces, along with the government and the Space Oversight Committee (SOC), a civilian oversight organization. The program is fully sponsored by the government.

The Space Expeditionary Unit (or SEUCOM in the military) is covered by most bills regarding the Senderlian military with the exception of those under the Senderlian Military Act, 1966.

Diplomatic Task Force

The Diplomatic Task Force is in charge of the security of all Sendersdale embassy grounds in foreign nations. The DTF, or the Blues as they are commonly called (as they where a blue beret), are also in charge of security operations of both Peace Park and International Square (where all foreign embassies are located in Sendersdale). The DTF however has no jurisdiction inside those embassies, or outside Sendersdale soil (other then Sendersdale embassies abroad). The Diplomatic Task Force is not covered under the Sendersdale Military Act, 1966, but under the Diplomatic Missions Act, 2007, which covers all of the DTF policies.

Senderlian Coast Gaurd

The Senderlian Coast Guard is a federally run agency. The Senderlian Coast Guards are responcible for search and rescure and protecting Senderlian Coast Guard. However, during wartime, the Senderlian Coast Guard reports directly to SAF High Command. The Coast Guards however are still considered a seperate entity and not apart of the SEACOM.

Administrative divisions

The Dominion of Sendersdale is divided into 4 Provinces and 2 Territory. The four provinces Gallis, Logimis lie towards the eastern oceans while Forêt lies between the two seaboard provinces and territories. The Protectorate Rogirith populance has recently voted to join the Dominion. They are officially apart of the Dominion on July 1st. The final two territories are the Sommish Territory and the New Osi territory. Currently New Osi is waiting for it ascension to province hood while Sommish citizens do not want province hood. The capital of the country, Monhire is not a part of any province. It holds the unique Senderlain State State (or SSS). So they are not considered either a province or a territory so their taxes are directly managed by the Federal government.

Oversea Colonies

New Sendersdale was recently founded by Jaques Coutou. It is currently considered a Crown Colony, which means the government is solely controlled by the government. The government governs almost all matters (except local mattes, left to the Sendersdale Local Authority) in the colony.

The island was a much needed asset as it nearly doubles the size of the country before. New Sendersdale is currently 111,390 km². Currently the population of the island is only 5 million but steadily growing. Most of the population lives near the sourthern border facing Sendersdale. As of current, there is debate in parliament to see whether or no the island should be given territorial status, giving the colony it's own local government. The government however states that they need to stabilize the situation first with outlaw settlers and get most of the colony organized.

The colony of Aridia is also administrated by the Senderlian government. Aridia is in the region with the nation of Toopoxia
