Republic of Knetlen

The Republic of Knetlen, also commonly known as Knetlen, is a liberal republic to the south of the Elder Mountains. It borders the Republic of South Badgeland, the People's Republic of the Strip, the Mourlander-Badgerian Protectorate, the Republic of Mourland, the Confederation of the Dunes, the Alliban Protectorate of the Western Dunes, and the Kingdom of Nottsend.

The lands that compose the modern Republic of Knetlen have historically been affected by the people to their north in what are generally considered the Elder Mountains proper, and the people to their east who have generally seen Knetlen as a colonial possession. The modern Republic is the first nation-state organized by the peoples of the territory, and as such this young Republic is working to build a proper state from the old colonial and pre-state economic and cultural infrastructure available to itself.

The Solstice Declaration
With the ongoing Springtime of Nations, and the uprisings of many colonial peoples in the Elder Mountains to the north, leading members of the Knetlern-National Party gathered together in New Knots in mid Harpsicorn, 868 ARM to discuss what should be done. It was quickly resolved that a new Republic of Knetlen should be organized, and a state of rebellion declared. On the 21st of Harpsicorn, the winter solstice, members of the Knetlern-National Party signed a Declaration of Independence, and this declaration quickly adopted the colloquial name of the Solstice Declaration.
