Line 8:
While the Egendomar lost much of their direct political power as a result of the Cryrian Anarchy and the signing of the 1929 Constitution, they retained their wealth and continued to play an important role in the Cryrian economy. Cooperation between the Egendomar and the Government was seen as essential to the nation's postwar recovery and newly elected administrations were ill-equipped to further combat these heavily entrenched interests, particularly as public opinion on anti-capitalist ideologies soured following schisms among the Cryrian Left and continued insurgency from radical groups. Further, the surviving Egendomar offered a counterweight to the newly empowered labor unions. Throughout much of the 20th century the Government relied upon the cooperation of both the Egendomar and the unions to advise upon and implement industrial and economic policies, thus maintaining an oligopolistic landscape in the Kingdom - Particularly as the unions themselves coalesced into a handful of labor confederations.

Reforms such as removing Egendomar from the banking industry served to limit these conglomerates, while direct threats and actions against their owners were used to push them out of the political sphere. However, the Ministry's increasingly bold actions against the Cryrian elite and other government agencies ultimately ended in its destruction during the White November Crisis.

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 or the Ellesborg Mining Cooperative's operations in Serramal.
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 within the Kingdom due to tightening restrictions after various scandals, though they retain significant influence.
