Etymology
The Dominion of Sayville is named after the hamlet of Sayville. Sayville takes its name from the neighboring hamlet of Sayville, which acquired its name following a misspelling of "Seaville" in 1838.[2]

On the 15th of March, the Dominion joined the Commonwealth of Sayvillian Regions.[1]

On the 10th of August, Prince Brady of Powhatan announced his abdication from the throne of Powhatan.[5] In an announcement later that day by the Governor-General of Sayville, Thomas I of Hrafnarfjall was named the new sovereign.[6]
