History
In 1803, English explorer James Sheridan discovered the islands. A colony was soon set up at Whitman Bay. In 1806, the islands were taken from the British by Royal Pagemaster. After only four years, the islands were taken by Brechenlass's First Empire. Under Brechenlasian rule, the people suffered. When the First Empire ended, the Sheridanians hoped to be relieved of the Brechenlasian rule. Unfortunately, they were kept by Brechenlass. The Second Empire of Brechenlass oppressed the Sheridanians even more than the first. By the end of World War II, the people were ready for change. After the Second Empire fell, the Sheridan Islands declared independance. With the help of Kedalfax, they set up a new democratic government.

Each section elects ten Legislators, and then both sections elect five Legislators together. These 25 people form the Legislation, which votes on laws. A legislator may only serve four terms.
