 The old-style Gendels (now called Gelnds as a group) are still around and still stick to their way of life and traditions. Most stay out of town except to buy or sell stuff. They still have weirdly accented Paroli (hard to understand if your not paying attention) and their own way of doing things. The Charter of Gendel guarentees that the Gelnds way of life cannot be infringed upon and that Gendel can make no laws that do so and that citizens doing so will be punished to the maximum extent of the law. The Gelnds are also not subject to normal taxation but are still, in theory, protected by the courts and the Watch of Gendel. The Gelnds are devout followers of Neptune, Osirus and Isis. There are around 500 Gelnds believed to live in and around Gendel. The number could be off as there isn't a regular census and they stereotypicaly have large families.
-The current population (10044) of Gendel township is 8500. The surrounding area that makes up the whole Greater Gendle tax base probably has 15K (those outside town are farmers, fishermen, hunters, tanners, some small bit of copper mining, etc...).

 A lot of trade comes in by ship. Way easier to land in the north than to circle around to the south and dodge reefs, sea walls and small islands. That many people can actually be self supporting. A lot of what they make is used internally. Foreign trade is just to get hard currency to buy foreign made stuff. The portal farm is pretty close and has definately had an impact on trade. The mayor, Selic, is in negotiation with Terminal-3 to get a good rate for goods exchange with at least one off world civilization.
-**The Road** - A large scale improvments project was conducted and completed mid-10044. A path 20 feet wide spanning the entire distance from Gendel to Portal Farm was cleared and graded. Several bridges were built and some hills dug down. The road started out dirt but has since been mostly cobbled. Work continues. There is a low-intensity project ongoing to put rails in the center of the road. Gendel is working with neighboring villages to ramp up iron and steel production. Until then the center 5' of the road is being re-dug and more stable foundation laid to support heavier weight traffic.

 A second road is being constructed between Gendel and [[new_alimar|New Alimar]]. The leadership and peoples of these two towns have also agreed on borders and mutual protection treaties.
