''This article is about the formerly playable faction. For other uses, see [[Verdantium]]''
The '''Verdantine Sovereignty''' was a playable faction existing from the release of the game until May 28, 2016. The faction controlled the islands of Verdantium (present-day [[Nova Balreska]]) and Perth. The leader, the Governor, was ordinarily elected by a democratic vote. However in late 2015, then-Governor Frauns proclaimed himself to be "Supreme Leader" of the faction, a title made official with the group rank changing its name accordingly. This marked the end of democratic elections in the faction.
In May 2016, the faction declared war on the [[Verner Expedition]], with the Kingdom of [[Whitecrest]] joining the side of the Verner Expedition. Verdantium was soon defeated, resulting in its annexation and incorporation into Nova Balreska. Most members of Verdantium fled to the new nation of [[Hallengard]] (to which Verdantine player levels transferred to), whilst 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).
*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. 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 existed inside the southernmost house on the island, before it was removed in the updating of the island.
*The Verdantine Sovereignty appeared to draw some inspiration from the real-world Soviet Union. The dockmaster and the shipwright were named Demitri Dubovedev and Vladimir Wooten respectively, and the group contained the ranks of Proletariat and Bourgeoisie - commonly used terms in the Revolutionary Russia.
*In response to attempts to restore the faction, on March 24, 2020, the developers of the game sent a global broadcast to all Tradelands servers saying "verd is never coming back."
