The Verdantine Sovereignty is a former tradelands faction. It usually decided its leader, the Governor, by a democratic vote, and was one of the original factions included in the game at release. The faction was removed from the game following its annexation by the [[Verner Expedition]] to create the nation of [[Nova Balreska]]. Members of Verdantine fled to the new nation of [[Hallengard]], became members of the [[Blackwind Pirates]], or stayed as new citizens of Nova Balreska.
The Verdantine Sovereignty is a former Tradelands faction and was one of the original three factions included in the game at release, previously controlling the islands of Verdantium (present-day [[Nova Balreska]]) and Perth. It usually decided its leader, the Governor, by a democratic vote. In May 2016, Verdantium declared war on the [[Verner Expedition]], and the Kingdom of [[Whitecrest]] joined the side of Verner. Verdantium was soon defeated, resulting in its annexation by the Verner Expedition, which went on to reform into Nova Balreska. Most members of Verdantium fled to the new nation of [[Hallengard]] (to which Verdantine player levels went to), while others became members of the [[Blackwind Pirates]] or stayed as new citizens of Nova Balreska.

The Verdantine Sovereignty is referenced in the glowie material [[Verdantium]] and in multiple ways in the Sword and Star Tavern on the island of Verdantium (home island of Nova Balreska).

Shortly before the public release of Tradelands, Governor Milbert23 ordered a large cannon battery to be placed on the south end of the island, but Nahr_Nahrstein jokingly responded by adding a large Duracell AA battery instead. He later placed a conventional cannon battery there, but the giant battery still exists inside the southernmost house on the island.
The Verdantine Sovereignty contained many Russian references, such as the dockmaster and the shipwright, who are named Demitri Dubovedev and Vladimir Wooten respectively, as well as the ranks of "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie" (which are commonly used terms in the Russian Revolution) within the Verdantine Sovereignty group.
In response to attempts to restore the Verdantine Sovereignty, Nahr_Nahrstein publicly announced that "Verd is never coming back".
