Nassau is lead by a popularly-elected Governor, who is elected for three-month terms, with the Admiral being the second-in-command and the leader of the navy.
History
It is unknown when the Duchy of Nassau came into existence, due to it not being added as a port till 2018 with Harrisburg, Salem and the island of Cannoneer's Key.
The Republic of Nassau was declared in the middle of the at the time on-going Nova Balreskan-Burkeland War over the islands of Salem and Harrisburg that taken up arms against their owner Burkeland to join Nova Balreska. A rebellion was declared against their Duke, Nelson the "Nasty" of Nassau, lead by a person named Bob Pinkers Schmucklebutt. The Rebellion was supported by Chancellor Cholaso of Nova Balreska while the Navy of Whitecrest was against it, both sides deciding to help their respective side in the battle over the island, which would end with Duke Neslon retreating from Nassau with the help of Whitecrest.
After their succesfull rebellion Nassau launched an invasion on Salem, capturing the island an annexing it into the Republic. Burkeland after finishing their conflict with Nova Balreska would go on the offensive against Nassau. They would defeat the Republic and turn in into a tributary state, but would allow it to keep Salem. They would create the role of Governor to control the islands.
On September 18, 2020 Nassau would be added as a playable faction into Tradelands. Due to it being new a temporary leadership would be set up under the leadership of Admiral w0ws. Nassau would find it self instantly in a Region Wide War between two sides. With the Aukai blockade of Hallengard ending a day before, and the War for the Reconquest of Perth started by Nova Balreska on Whitecrest two days before. Burkeland would decide to support the greatly outnumbered Whitecrest in the war, dragging the new faction into it. The Navy of Nassau would show it's worth during the war, and mainly in the defence of Burkelandic Southern Fleet's main port, Harrisburg. The war would end with the defending side victorius, marking the navy's first victory.
Peace would not last for long however, the newly elected Governess Apple_Turnovers would see the Purshovian-Burkelandic War's Grand Isles Theatre unfold before her eyes. Seeing the fortress of Clydesdale fall to the Purshovia and the ongoing fight for the home isles of Burkeland she would declare Nassuvian independence. Admiral w0ws seeing the situation would start a coup which would fail, after which negotiations would begin between Nassau and Burkeland. In the end Nassau would give up Salem for the Fort of Saint Christopher, which was supported by Purshovia. Nassau would find it self in peace, electing Ser50 to be their second Governor. But while Nassau was establishing itself, conflict were brewing all across the Grand Isles. And on December 27, 2020, Nova Balreska would finally declare war on Nassau to take control of their Fort. After the loss of their islands, Nassau had no other option but to maken an alliance with their on-and-off enemy, Whitecrest. The two factions would fight against Nova Balreska in the coming months of 2021, till finally the Purshovian Admiral, Marochev, would take affairs into his own hands, creating a semi-coalition with the factions of the Grand Isles and crush Nova Balreska. With Nassau successfully retaking Saint Christopher during Purshovia's blockade and bombardment of Verdantium.
With order restored to the region, Nassau would look towards the new small independent nation of Salem.

Nassau would stabalize till the next election, where the candidate Poutpout_army, a beloved figure would win the vote of the people.
Poutpout_army's intended reforms that he set up to do were shorthtly be interupted by the First Whitecrest Siege of Saint Christopher, that saw the Nassuvian Navy fiercly defending against the Kingdom of Whitecrest, wishing to establish a defencive live against Nova Balreska.
