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.

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."
