Modern Egendomar are defined by their continued family ownership, but otherwise vary widely in their form and structure. Some consist of a single large entity, while others operate as several connected companies and utilize complex systems of ownership to maintain control. The Reitz Egeldom is effectively tied into the governance of the Duchy of Charlottesborg.

Egendomar have held varying degrees of political influence in the Kingdom throughout their history. Aristocratic families retain votes in the Första Kammaren, but these have steadily lost their value as power has shifted to the Lower Chamber of the Riksdag. Egendom family members have also held direct positions in Government. Most recently, Charles Marlberg served as Prime Minister from 2002 to 2020. Helena Reitz served as Foreign Minister from 2000 to 2010. At present three former heads of minor Egendomar serve in the government - Erland Maravel as Foreign Minister, Joacim Palme as Ambassador the League of Novaris, and Rikard Widfross as Ambassador to the International Forum. All three stepped away from their respective businesses upon accepting government posts, but their potential influence over the rest of their families and vice-versa have been the source of controversy, particularly in the case of Maravel's high-profile appointment.

Most recently, Charles Marlberg served as Prime Minister from 2002 to 2020 and Helena Reitz served as Foreign Minister from 2000 to 2010, though both were largely uninvolved in either Egeldomar and Marlberg was a distant relation to the main family.


The Reitz and Linderoth families effectively run their respective territories and thus are indistinguishable from governing entities. Various Egendomar have also acquired influence abroad, such as the Tynam family's presence in Älemsi Negdel.

Beyond a direct presence in Government, Egendomar hold sway through their ability to lobby the government and influence industrial policy. Both of these capabilities have steadily declined due to tightening restrictions after scandals during the Marlberg Government and the rise of more conventional competitors. However, Egendomar at present remain a major fixture of Cryrian politics and economics.
