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. | |||
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 a member of the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]], the headquarters of multiple Crona-based corporations, and is also the home of the League of Nations' Commission for Mandatory Venua'tino.

As the name of the city might suggest, Shenendehowa Bay sits at the eastern end of a large bay off the Nysdra Sea approximately thirty five in width (north to south) and thirty seven miles deep (from west to east).

Historical evidence suggests human activity began in Shenendehowa Bay immediately following the end of the last ice age; fishing implements and various refuse have been found in archaeological expeditions within city limits. While the precise date is unknown, the site was settled and abandoned by seasonal fishing and hunting groups until approximately 950 BC, when it was permanently settled by ancestors of modern Venua'tinoi and has remained settled since. It is most likely the first example of organized civilization in Mandatory Venua'tino and is certainly the oldest continuously inhabited city within the region.

Cenendovia, officially the City of Cenendovia, and formerly known as Shenendehowa Bay, is an international charter city and 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 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 Deluge conflict in the early 2010s, the Venua'tino area was to be partitioned and the 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.
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 a member of the Nysdra Sea Treaty Association, the headquarters of multiple Crona-based corporations, and is also the home of the League of Nations' Commission for Mandatory Venua'tino. As of 2030, it was ranked the "richest city in north-northwestern Crona" by the Bureau of International Statistics.
Etymology
"Shenendehowa" is a term of ancient Cronite origin meaning "great plains", most likely referring to the flat plains extending east from the Bay which have since been used to refer to the Bay itself. The city has formally used the name since the Medieval period.
Geography
As the name of the city might suggest, Shenendehowa Bay sits at the eastern end of a large bay off the Nysdra Sea approximately thirty five in width (north to south) and thirty seven miles deep (from west to east). This bay is among the largest natural harbors in the world, forming a natural near half-circle shape with significantly calmer waters than the Nysdra. The Bay's depth within five miles of the city is no more than 100 feet deep. This Bay has long been admired as one of the most favorable trading ports in the world for maritime travel and has been used for mercantile and fishing purposes since antiquity. The city state itself extends approximately thirty miles inland, encompassing largely flat plains which, since the dawn of the 20th century, have been dotted with proto-suburban settlements.
History
Historical evidence suggests human activity began in Shenendehowa Bay immediately following the end of the last ice age; fishing implements and various refuse have been found in archaeological expeditions within city limits. While the precise date is unknown, the site was settled and abandoned by seasonal fishing and hunting groups until approximately 950 BC, when it was permanently settled by ancestors of modern Venua'tinoi and has remained settled since. It is most likely the first example of organized civilization in Mandatory Venua'tino and is certainly the oldest continuously inhabited city within the region. The Bay's large natural harbor and access to the Unnuaq Strait made it not only the best trading and resting port in far northern Crona, it additionally gave the city's residents the edge in whalefishing.

The Shenendehowa Genesis Hypothesis is heavily debated and has not received support from a consensus of scholars, though acceptance in the theory has grown with new scholarship resulting from The Deluge.
