Noundures (Salvadoran pronunciation: [nownˈdu.ɾɛs]), officially the Free Republic of Noundures (Salvadoran: República Lliure de Noundures), and formerly known as the State of Noundures (Estat de Noundures), is a semi-recognized breakaway state located in Sur whose territory is internationally recognized as a part of Salisford. The state is landlocked and located in the northern Salvadoran Valley, being bordered by Salisford in the north and El Salvador in the south. El Salvador is the only nation to formally recognize Noundures; Creeperopolis formerly recognized the breakaway state from 1961 until the signing of the Rubicon Agreement in 1976.
On 10 July 1933, the State of Granada invaded the Modica Strip on its northern border, beginning the Desert War. The Granadian government proclaimed the establishment of the State of Noundures as a breakaway state in the Modica Strip with the intention of eventually unifying the two states together. After the fall of the Granadian government in 1935 and the overthrow of President Adalbert Boronat Cruilles, however, all plans to unify El Salvador and Noundures were abandoned, and Noundures lost all support from the new Salvadoran government due to its previous support by the Granadians. In 1944, Noundurian President Llorenç Bataller Zúrich unified the four rebel groups fighting against the Salisfordian government into the Free Noundurian Army (ENL).
The Free Noundurian Army continued to independently fight the Salisfordian government until 1961, when the governments of Creeperopolis and El Salvador began to support the Noundurian government due to the beginning of the Rubicon War between Creeperopolis and Salisford. President Josep Esteba Treserra oversaw increased military operations in the Modica Strip throughout the war from 1961 to 1976, but Noundures never succeeded in fully controlling the area. Since the end of the Rubicon War, the Free Noundurian Army and Salisfordian government mostly engaged in skirmishes and light conflict, and the Noundurian government's control over the Modica Strip have mostly been limited to the mountains, areas near the Salvadoran border, and large settlements with a majority Salvadoran population.
The existence of the Free Republic of Noundures has caused serious tension between the governments of El Salvador and Salisford, which have disputed the location of the border in the Salvadoran Valley ever since the end of the Great Surian War in 1844. The Salvadoran government continues to recognize the independence of Noundures and allegedly continues to support the Free Noundurian Army, despite the fact that both El Salvador and Salisford are full members of the Cooperation and Development Coalition (CODECO).

The name "Noundures" is derived from Nou Hondures, which is the Salvadoran form of the Creeperian name given to the Salvadoran Valley: Nuevo Honduras. Honduras was the name of a kingdom which existed in the 13th and 14th centuries until it was annexed by Creeperopolis. The origins of the name "Honduras" is unknown.
Before the state's declaration of independence, its leaders considered adopting the names "Northern Salvador" (Nord Salvador) or "New Salvador" (Nou Salvador), but ultimately decided against it for unknown reasons. The name "Olèrdolian Republic" (República Olèrdoliana) was also considered, and was used to some extent in the early years of the state's existence, but it fell our of favor after 1935. It was initially named the "State of Noundures" until a coup d'état in 1935 which renamed the country to the "Free Republic of Noundures".

Officially, the Free Republic of Noundures is a presidential republic. The state holds elections for the presidency every six years, however, the elections are widely considered to be fraudulent by the international community, and they are not recognized by the Salisfordian government. Every president has been a member of the country's military or one of the four rebel groups which later merged into the military, and every president, except Boronat Cruilles, has been a member of the state's sole legal political party: the Movement for Noundurian Integration (MIN).
