The proposition came from the colonial governor, who stated that he took it from Kegel's journal over his love of a native woman who he named Adeline.

Adelstadt or Adel City, officially the State of Adelstadt (Adelstadter Tyrnican: Bundesstaat Adelstadt) is a sovereign city-state located on the Syosset Seaboard in Marceaunia and is comprised of one mainland portion and three primary islands. It is in free association with Tyrnica. It is a semi-enclave, bordered entirely by Syosset to the north, west and south. Adelstadt is home to 8.2 million people, and is the most populous city in Marceaunia. Adelstadt is comprised of seven provinces. Adelstadt's capital and largest province is Innenstadt, and is the center of the Adelstadt metropolitan area, which spans the entirity of Adelstadt and expands into Syosset, making up one of the largest international metropolitan areas. Adelstadt has also been recognized as one of the wealthiest countries in the world.
Adelstadt was inhabited originally by the XXX tribe, and was first chartered and written about by Tyrnican explorer Karst-Jan Stuyvesant. The amount of indigeneous people living in Adelstadt was extremely sparse at the time, and the area was later settled by a group of explorers under the banner of August Ehrenfried Kegel. Kegel was remarked for his extremely negative interactions with the natives. During the First Niskayuna War, Adelstadt participated in an active role. Tyrnican colonization led to the chartering and establishment of the Colony of the Seven Provinces which was initially established separate from the Colony of Syosset. Initial growth of the country was spurred by the important geographic location of Syosset, being situated on August Island.
The Stuyvesant's Charter later determined the full borders of the colony of Syosset and the colony of Adelstadt. The Syosset-Adelstadt Conflict was a disagreement between the two colonies over where the border began and ended. The debate was settled by Stuyvesant's Charter, which heavily favored Adelstadt and granted it almost entire ownership over the Port of Adelstadt
Adelstadt has considered to be a global leader of innovation, alongside being anchored by the financial hub of Stuyvesant Square, the free thought and philosophy area of Banteln and the government hall in Innenstadt.
Etymology
The original name of Adelstadt was the Seven Provinces, named after the seven villages that quickly sprouted up that were propped up by Kegel's group of explorers.

The proposition came from the colonial governor, who stated that he took it from Kegel's journal over his love of a native woman who he named Adeline. The name was stated to have been the name Adel combined with stadt. The name Adelstadt came into official use after the signing of Stuyvesant's Charter.
