Kingdom of the Dale Empire
The first Dale Woking micronation was the Kingdom of the Dale Empire, based in Woking but claiming territories on every continent. The Kingdom of the Dale Empire was an absolute monarchy, ruled by D Sherman from 22 May to 22 September 2011.. However, historic dale was believed to have been founded in either 2008 or 2009 and very little else was remembered about this early micronation even though it's king has not changed between historic and former Dale Kingdoms. This means that historic dale as its known to be was believed to have been founded 3 years before the former Dale Empire but could be considered parts of the same kingdom despite this time difference. Between the 7th and 8 September 2011 there was a poll on the MicroWiki forum which was to decide the future of the Dale Empire on whether it was to remain a monarchy or to become a republic, However because the poll ended as a tie it was left to a random name selector which selected the Dale Republic to be the victor of the political change.
Dale Republic
The official switch over from the Kingdom of the Dale Empire and the Dale Transitional Council and the transition of power from the king, King D Sherman to the Dale Transitional Council took place on the 22nd September 2011, which would have been the 4 month anniversary of the Kingdom of the Dale Empire's founding. The switch over from the Dale Transitional Council and the Dale Republic and the transition of power from the Dale Transitional Council to the Dale Assembly, (later the Dale Montering) this transition took place on the 26th October 2011.
The first President of the Dale Republic was elected the first day of the Dale Republic and was D Sherman on behalf of the Woking Independence Party and later the Woking People's Nationalist Party, he served his entire term before James Hunt was elected on April 30 2012. However, he soon resigned after 3 days from this position which led to a dispute over how his resignation should be handled, while some believed his deputy, Daniel Townend, should continue the remainder of his term, almost a complete term, others believed a new vote should take place and Daniel should only be an interim president until this can take place. This led to deep dispute and even near hostilities between some citizens of the Dale Republic. A by-election was eventually done and James Hunt regained his position as President of the Dale Republic after just 2 weeks after his resignation.
Collapse of Dale-Woking micronations
Despite James Hunt regaining his position as President of the Dale Republic the Dale Republic remained in disarray because of the loopholes and incomplete political system within the Dale Republic as well as disagreements in the role and powers of the President of the Dale Republic as well as the Dale Montering. These assisted in the decline of the Dale Republic and eventual inactivity. After a largely failed attempt at returning activity to the Dale Republic, D Sherman declared the Grand Empire of Knaphill as an independent micronation, this was excepted by the Dale Republic upon its declaration on October 24, 2012. However, it was very short lived after the Dale Republic collapsed on October 26, 2012 and the Grand Empire of Knaphill unified Woking borough under a new micronation, the Surrey Democratic Republic. The Surrey Democratic Republic replaced the reunified Woking borough micronations after they were two separate micronations for 5 days because People's President, D Sherman founded the Grand Empire of Knaphill as he wanted to become an active part in the MicroWiki community again which he didn't feel he was getting as a part of the Dale Republic.
Republic of New Dale
After the Surrey Democratic Republic fell into inactivity and other failed attempts to restart, agreement was finally met on March 21 to found a new democratic Woking based micronation. After some debating and voting it was finally agreed on the 25th for the Republic of New Dale to be the new Woking based micronation, a direct democratic micronation with a president in a largely ceremonial role. Presidential voting which started on March 31 and ending April 1 the D Sherman would become the first President of New Dale. However, because of the areas of the republic still undecided the president would be responsible to proposing the final aspects of the Republic of New Dale which would then be voted for by the people of New Dale. It was also decided that this new president would have only 1 month to complete this before a new presidential vote for a primarily ceremonial President of New Dale. On 2 May 2013 D Sherman was reelected President of the Republic, however with 2 citizens leaving and only 3 out of the remaining 5 citizens voting it was proposed by the president that New Dale should consider entering a political union and a referendum was quickly started.
This vote was done in the New Dale sovereignty referendum, the poll which ran for 2 days, between May 3 and 4 2013. What the referendum reached it conclusion only one vote had been cast, that of the President. This result was take as a reason to seek a political union with another micronation, even though the result might have led to it being redone had the referendum be aimed at a different matter. After a few attempts and reconsidering the idea of merging the Republic contacted the Republic of Westland who were considering disestablishment because of inactivity. An agreement was reached an on July 11, 2013 they formed the Delsh-Westlandian Federal Republic.
Delsh-Westlandian Federal Republic
The Delsh-Westlandian Federal Republic was founded on the 11th July, 2013. The new state which keeps the Republics of New Dale and Westland as autonomous republics within, with each sharing a high level of autonomy to deal with any and all internal matters while federal matters are that of the federal government. The elections currenctly being taken place will decide the President of the Federal Republic and the First Ministers of New Dale and Westland, these three positions will create the federal government. When the election was approaching no political parties were created in the Republic of New Dale, this decision was largely influenced by the troubles experienced during the latter months of the Dale Republic. Without political parties both individuals which ran for political positions within the Federal Republic, D Sherman and J.H., each ran as independents.
On July 21, 2013, both were elected to separate positions, James Hunt was elected the first Delsh First Minister and D Sherman was elected the President of the Federation. On September 22, 2013, territory from Guildford Province which consisted of the City of Guildford were donated by the Republic of New Dale to the Federal Parliament in order to create the Guildford Federal City, capital of the Delsh-Westlandian Federal Republic and was no longer territory of New Dale, however it was partially administrated by New Dale due to the creation of the joint legislature, the Dale-Guildford Council.
Politics
The Republic of New Dale was a direct democracy, in which the President of the Republic has only a ceremonial role. The Dale political system was a still in progress system, with it being based around direct democracy and national voting on most of the nations decision making and having the most executive power, over that of any national government. However, a president, deputy president and minister for different aspects of government are used to regulate and ensure their different areas of governance. These people remain under the direction and the wishes of the people as proscribed by the constitution.
Legislature
As part of a federal republic New Dale has both a federal and local legislature, the Federal Parliament was the unicameral legislature of the Delsh-Westlandian Federal Republic with New Dale, as with the other republics and federal city, has one seat in the legislature, this can be expended with the creation of an internal federal city, allowing a second seat in the Federal Parliament. The Republic of New Dale also has a joint legislature with the Guildford Federal City, the capital of the Delsh-Westlandian Federal Republic and formerly part of the Republic of New Dale within the Guildford Province. This joint legislature of both the Republic of New Dale and the Guildford Federal City was the two seat Dale-Guildford Council, seated by the Delsh First Minister and Governor of the Guildford Federal City, the same person as the President of the Federation.

Football was the biggest and most popular sport in the Republic of New Dale and was governed by the Dale Football Association, founded on August 3, 2011 the Dale Football Association was created to govern the national football team of the Kingdom of the Dale Empire and later went on to govern the Dale Republic and Republic of New Dale national teams, all being known solely as the Dale national football team. The Dale Football Association have been members of the Micronational Football Association twice, first joining in 2011 before becoming inactive during 2012 and unofficially leaving during this time and rejoined the MFA again in 2013.
Dale teams have failed on multiple attempts to successfully hold a fixture. The most notably failed attempt to host the PoliNation Games, this happened originally as a game between the Dale Republic and Senya before developing to include a micronationalist team. Senya were later replaced with Ladonia after the were unable to participate. However, the competition was cancelled after a lack of communications and unclear organisation between Ladonia, the micronationalist team and the Dale Football Association led the Dale Republic to cancel in order to save money and not risk an even later notice possible cancellation. However, it remains unclear whether or not Ladonia or the micronationalist team were in a position to compete or not.
New Dale officially adopted a new sport, the first individual participation sport, on March 2, 2014, footgolf. While footgolf had been played previously within New Dale before its official existence was realized, under the name of football golf, footgolf was adopted officially upon the knowledge of pre-determined official rules, created in the Netherlands in 2009. Footgolf in New Dale was governed by the New Dale Footgolf Assocaition (NDFGA).
