Brief Historical Summary:
Ever since the early settlers arrived by boat thousands of years ago, the several tribes of Kuduk were in competition with one another. Although fighting was common between the tribes, a shared sense of faith often acted as an early form of diplomacy between the warring peoples. During this time, positions and titles such as the Elders and the Shaman began to rise in popularity and usage. Trade between Kuduk and other nations, especially Alemsi Negdel, increased over time. Under fear of being colonized by external states, the elders of the tribes of Kuduk formed a confederacy in 1870. A little later in 1928, Kuduk adopted an official constitution after a vote by the elders’ council.

Following a vote on 28th June 2022, this nation claim has been APPROVED by a vote of 5-1-0. Further votes will be amended to this post as they come in.
