'''Cenendovia''', officially the '''City of Cenendovia''', and also known as '''Shenendehowa Bay''', is an [[international charter city]] and [[Possession (Caphiria)|Overseas Possession]] of [[Caphiria]] located off the southwest coast the [[Nysdra Sea]] in northern [[Crona]]. | '''Cenendovia''', officially the '''City of Cenendovia''', and also known as '''Shenendehowa Bay''', is an [[international charter city]] and [[Possession (Caphiria)|Overseas Possession]] of [[Caphiria]] located off the southwest coast the [[Nysdra Sea]] in northern [[Crona]]. | ||
The Venua'tino area has been inhabited since at least 1000 BC, however the modern history of Cenendovia traces to the Polar Captaincy of the 18th century. The Captaincy was a loose confederation of tributary cities and tribes to [[Varshan]], and due to significant economic disruption and conflict between the native tributaries, the Captaincy collapsed in the mid-20th century. Following the collapse, the global community expressed concern about the state of affairs in the region, and in [[1967]], the entire region was made into a mandate by the [[League of Nations]] - known as [[Venua'tino|Mandatory Venua'tino]]. The League-established Commission for Venua'tino was established to administer the territory and was based in Shenendehowa Bay, which became one of the most important ports of the late-20th and early 21st-centuries. However, due to the [[The Deluge|Deluge conflict]] in the early 2010s, the Venua'tino area was to be partitioned and the [[Government of Caphiria|Caphirian government]] was interested in acquiring territory in Crona as part of its "Nidos" foreign policy strategy. In 2017, a charter agreement was signed and the City of Shenendehowa Bay became an international charter city under the jurisdiction of Caphiria through an administrative special joint structure between the Caphirian Ministry of Commerce and Trade and [[Quicksilver Industries]], the largest company in Caphiria. In 2026, the Executive Board voted unanimously to fully integrate into Caphiria's civil administration, renaming itself as the City of Cenendovia. | The Venua'tino area has been inhabited since at least 1000 BC, however the modern history of Cenendovia traces to the Polar Captaincy of the 18th century.

Cenendovia is governed by the Executive Board of Special Governance, consisting of many "managing directors" who have the power to administer in various functions and roles. In addition to the managing directors, there are several dozen non-managing members who serve as minor magistrates. The Executive Board is nominally led by QSI's Chief Executive [[Alexandus Venio II]] but the Chairman of the Executive Board, Caran Cacello, is the operational leader of the Executive Board. Cacello is also the League of Nations Chair of the Commission for Cenendovia and therefore wields significant influence over Cenendovia in both an administrative and political role. | Cenendovia is governed by the Executive Board of Special Governance, consisting of many "managing directors" who have the power to administer in various functions and roles.

The word "Cenendovia " is the [[Caphiric Latin]] transliteration of "''Shenendehowa''", itself the Occidental transliteration of "''Shen'endehowa''", a term of ancient Cronite origin meaning "great plains", most likely referring to the flat plains extending out east from the bay which have since been used to refer to the bay itself. Until the contemporary period, the city has been referred to as Shenendehowa or Shenendehowa Bay since | The word "Cenendovia " is the [[Caphiric Latin]] transliteration of "''Shenendehowa''", itself the Occidental transliteration of "''Shen'endehowa''", a term of ancient Cronite origin meaning "great plains", most likely referring to the flat plains extending out east from the bay which have since been used to refer to the bay itself. Until the contemporary period, the city has been referred to as Shenendehowa or Shenendehowa Bay since at least the Medieval period, and it is accepted that Cenendovia is purely a political term. | ||
As such, the names are interchangeable but it is understood that "Shenendehowa/Shenendehowa Bay" refers to the historical place and "Cenendovia" to the present-day political territory as part of Caphiria. | As such, the names are interchangeable but it is understood that "Shenendehowa/Shenendehowa Bay" refers to the historical place and "Cenendovia" to the present-day political territory as part of Caphiria. | ||

Within the Executive Board of Special Governance, the Managing Directors play a vital role in the governance and administration of Cenendovia. Each Managing Director represents a specific sector or function, ensuring comprehensive coverage and expertise across various areas of governance. These positions are filled through a democratic election process, allowing residents of Cenendovia to directly participate in shaping the city's policies and initiatives. The election of Managing Directors is conducted every ''lustrum'' (five-year-period), providing an opportunity for eligible candidates to campaign and present their vision for the respective sectors they aim to represent. Midterm elections are held every 30 months to ensure a periodic evaluation of their performance and provide an opportunity for residents to express their preferences and concerns. Public participation mechanisms, such as town hall meetings and public consultations, allow residents to voice their opinions and contribute to decision-making processes. | Within the Executive Board of Special Governance, the Managing Directors play a vital role in the governance and administration of Cenendovia.

Together, they develop strategic plans, set goals, and execute initiatives for the city's development. | Once elected, Managing Directors assume their roles and responsibilities, working collaboratively with other Managing Directors, the Chairman of the Executive Board, and Chairman Emeritus.
