The United Duchies of North Sand Island (United Duchies or UDNSI for short) was an autonomous state in New Northwest Verico (now Takadokia). It was originally founded to be the political successor to the Autonomous Exclave of Sand Island, an old state of Takadokia that had since become the independent town of Sand Island. Like its name suggests, it was located north of the town proper. The United Duchies was comprised of three disconnected sub-units called "duchies" - Trexeltan, Strasbourg-Hatay and Sudzyrich.
As of April 2020, it has become part of Sand Island. The areas that once constituted the UDNSI are still open to visit and have remained virtually unchanged since the transfer, with the signs that marked the duchies, cities and NNWV's ownership still standing.
Brief History
On 20th of March, 2020, HY_Turkic declared an island he had just excavated the Duchy of Trexeltan, which he governed along with 1Catnip. He began building a hotel there. On March 22nd of that same year, HY declared the state of Strasbourg-Hatay out of the Trexeltan city Barujer, and made a new city called Strasbourg-Hatay City. A few days later, he claimed a piece of land and declared it the state of Sudzyrich.
On March 27th, HY realized how many states there were, so he combined them into one state; the United Duchies of North Sand Island. For a time, the entirety of the UDNSI was the biggest state of New Northwest Verico by land area alone. In April 2020, its territory was transferred to Sand Island via an agreement, as it had a rather disadvantageous location compared to the rest of NNWV.
Duchies
Trexeltan
Trexeltan was the first duchy to be incorporated into the United Duchies. It has a house built by 
Cetera, an underground hotel and a small apartment, as well as a bone pharaoh built by 1Catnip (which ostensibly had a skeleton head that was later removed). It was the biggest duchy in size, and was split up into three "cities" - Ortosar, Sharuk and Jakinda. Its name derives from 
RedTrexler's username.
After the transfer to Sand Island, the governance of Trexeltan was given to MrMcBricks, who renamed it to New Broksn Island. It's unknown if the territory of the remaining two duchies were given to individual governors as well.
Strasbourg-Hatay
Strasbourg-Hatay was a duchy located north of Trexeltan, and was the second duchy to be established. It's home to Atlas Plots and Apartments, which is a building that contains four apartment spaces and four plots on its roof. The duchy itself is comprised of two cities; Baruyer and Strasbourg-Hatay City. Its name is a combination of the French city Strasbourg and the Turkish province Hatay.
Sudzyrich
Sudzyrich was the third and final duchy to be incorporated. It's barren, only containing a double chest, furnace and crafting table. It consists of two cities; Kiesus and Zyrstad. Sudzyrich comes from the German word for south, "sud", and the Swiss city Zurich.
