Landder County, officially the County of Landder (Cartadanian: Comarca de Landder), is a county in northwestern Alexandria, in Cartadania. As of 2025, it had an estimated population of approximately 199,600, making it the 43rd-most populous county in Alexandria. It has seven cities, of which Cary is the county seat, but nineteen total municipalities, the twelve others being towns.
History
At the time of the earliest Caphirian colonization, the native tribes of the area that would become Landder County were the Ettian, an Ancient Latin-speaking sub-group of the Adonerii and Cartic people who inhabited much of Alexandria. They lived in small city-states which were much smaller than those found on Urlazio, but unlike eastern Alexandria, where this catalyzed the development of many cities that are there today, western Alexandria remains relatively undeveloped. Nonetheless, many of the small villages that formed as part of the city states still have some cultural significance today. The Adonerii's demise came with the rise in natural disasters and strengthening of other civilizations proximal to the league.
Landder County is one of the few counties to have existed in some form prior to the creation of the Second Republic. It was a part of the much larger but now extinct Landder Regio of Alexandria while Alexandria was still a province under the rule of Caphiria. It wasn't until Landder Regio was split into the six counties that exist today that the identically named modern Landder County came into existence. Created as part of the large scale amendments to Alexandria's constitution, Landder County was one of the first few counties that existed in early Alexandria and its towns reflect the historic nature of the area, especially those near the coast.
Today, the county is primarily an outer exurb of Calaine, although not contained in it's metro area. The population began to trend upward around the late 1950s as Alexandria saw an explosion in population and many Cartadanians migrated following the Second Great War. The state has a large population of south Levantine descent as well, and many of its customs reflect some of the older traditions of the southern coastal regions of Urcea.
Government and politics
The county is divided into five magisterial districts: Cary, Federation, Humboldt, Maryvale, and Trinity. The magisterial districts each elect one supervisor to the Board of Supervisors which governs Landder County. There is also a chairman elected by the county at-large, bringing total board membership to six. A vice-chairman is selected by the board from among its membership. The county operates under the county form of the county executive system of government, with an elected Board of Supervisors. The board appoints a professional, nonpartisan county executive to manage operations of government agencies.
In other elected County offices, the Landder County District's Attorney, Zachariah Stanton, and the Landder County Clerk of Circuit Court, Erin Frost are independents. The Landder County Sheriff, Brynn Cross, is a UCP.
