Saorlander Federation

Flag of the Saorlander Federation

Saorland, officially called the "**Federation of Saorland**", is a country from Seasons 4-5 of the Shadowmare SMP that was formed after the unification of the State of Japan and the Second Neodrach Republic. Saorland has a population of 1, with Sadscotsman being the only inhabitant. Unfortunately, although it was one of the world's powers, after the War of the Nations, it remains in ruins,. Saorland was also home to several key things, such as the Flag Museum, the House of Elites, and Grenquavers which was a park named after Sir Quavers IV of Saorland. Saorland is one of the oldest still existing countries, surpassing Vodorium Imperis and Xandon (a puppet of Saorland).

## Government of Saorland

### Key People of the Saorland Government

Key people in the Saorland government, before the existence of Xandon, were Joemany and Sadscotsman. Scotsman is the Head of State for the country, being the one who is in charge. Joemany was the Head of Foreign Affairs and also Deputy Head of State for the country. This was because these two were the ones that founded the nation.

### Animal Government Positions in Saorland

In Saorland, there are several animals whom have taken on duties within Saorland. The main ones being Butterdog, Cate and King Joe III. Butterdog is the Ceannard of the City of Neodrachia, Cate is the Ceannard of Grenquavers, and King Joe III is the Monarch of the State of Japan, being crowned as king on the day of the opening of the House of Elites (October 28th). These 3 animals also are assisted by other animals, with Obama I becoming Prince Obama I of Osaka after the crowning of King Joe III, Sir Quavers IV being a figurehead for New Neodrachia, with the currency and the park in the region being named after him, and also the other cats like Big Shitter, Dark Mode, Ed Sheeran and Corbyn who are cats who also live inside of the region of New Neodrachia.

## Diplomacy in Saorland

Saorland has had several diplomatic ties with foreign countries, the main one being the Vodorium Imperis whom have been the most persistent on trade, exchanging our currency and travel. Here, the VI and Saorland met up for their first official meeting on the 29th of October, where they met to discuss these issues (the Queen of the VI: Shadowmare\_, and the Head of Foreign Affairs: Joemany). OscarEMN and Pisus also attended the meeting as citizens of the country of the Void Commune, but it would be confirmed that after this meeting, the Commune would be dissolved.

After this meeting, there would be a diplomatic hiccup between the VI and Saorland, when the Head of Foreign Affairs: Joemany would be found out to have stolen some artefacts for the VI museum (though this eventually didn't matter). This would lead to the VI enacting a ban of all people from Saorland coming into the VI, leading Saorland to do the same to VI citizens. Things changed after the death of Queen ShadowMare\_, with the new queen, Butters Mare, being more open to foreigners. Because of the economic and diplomatic policies of the two allied countries, Xandon and Saorland, they managed to surpass Vodorium Imperis in wealth and power. After difficult moments from VI's history, the capital got burned and the War of the Nations began, resulting in all the 3 big powers getting destroyed, from which two collapsed, only Saorland remaining.

Currently, there is a reconstruction project going on in Saorland, but nothing is sure. The country is a remnant of what it once was, but with no new enemies at the horizon, it may have a chance to reclaim what it was before. Only time will tell.
