Noundures, officially the Free Republic of Noundures (Salvadoran Spanish: República Lliure 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.
Etymology
The Free Republic of Noundures is named after the Noundures Desert, in which the majority of the state's territorial claim is located. The name "Noundures" is derived from Nou Hondures, which is the Salvadoran Spanish 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.
