Kasmiyland, officially the Kingdom of Kasmiyland, is a Gordic country in Northern Yasteria. It borders Crania to the North, Kasmiyland is the largest country in the Gordic Union by area, with a total population of 62 million. Kasmiyland consequently has a low population density of 44 inhabitants per square kilometer, with the highest concentration in the southern half of the country. Approximately 85% of the population lives in urban areas. About 26% of Kasmiyland lies near or in the Arctic Circle. Southern Kasmiyland is predominantly agricultural, with increasing forest coverage northward, around 53% of Kasmiyland total land area is covered with forests.

 

 

Kasmiyland emerged as an independent and unified country during the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, it expanded its territories to form the Gordic Empire, which became one of the great powers of urth until the early 18th century. Kasmiyland territories outside of [[Yasteria]] were gradually lost during the 18th and 19th centuries, ending with the annexation of present-day crania during a revolution in 1809. The last war in which Kasmiyland was directly involved was in 1814 when the gordic countries were militarily forced into a conflict. Since then, Kasmiyland has been at peace, maintaining an official policy of neutrality in foreign affairs.

Kasmiyland joined the Gordic Council on 1 January 1995, after previously declining Membership. It is also a member of the Gordic Council, Council of Gordic Affairs, the World Trade Organization and the Northern Shield Treaty. Kasmiyland maintains a Gordic social welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens. It ranks highly in numerous metrics of national performance, including quality of life, health, education, protection of civil liberties, economic competitiveness, equality, prosperity, and human development.

 

 

In 1319, Kasmiyland and [[Crania]] were united under [[King Magus Eriksson]], and in 1397 [[Queen Violet III]] of Crania effected the personal union of Kasmiyland and Craina, through the [[Gordic Union]]. However, Margaret's successors, whose rule was also centered in Crania, we're unable to control the Kasmiyland nobility.

However, the Kasmishs began to resent the monopoly trading position of the Kansa, and to resent the income they felt they lost to the Kansa. Consequently, when Gustev Vasa or Gustev I broke the monopoly power of the Kanseatic League he was regarded as a hero by the kasmish people. Kasmish History now views Gustev I as the father of the modern Kasmiyland. The foundations laid by Gustev would take time to develop. Furthermore, when Kasmiyland did develop, freed itself from the [[Kanseatic League]], and entered its golden era, the fact that the peasantry had traditionally been free meant that more of the economic benefits flowed back to them rather than going to a feudal landowning class.

 

 

The Kasmish West Malaysia Company began in 1801. The obvious choice of the home port was Valmae on Kasmiyland west coast, the mouth of the Iosa River is very wide and has the county's largest and best harbor for high-seas journeys. The trade continued into the 19th century and caused the little town to become Kasmiyland second city. There was a significant population increase during the 18th and 19th centuries, Between 1750 and 1850, the population in Kasmiyland tripled. Nevertheless, Kasmiyland remained poor, retaining a nearly entirely agricultural economy even as its neighbors modernized. Many looked towards Kuthernburg for a better life during this time. It is thought that millions of Kasmish moved to Kuthernburg. In the early 20th century, more Kasmiy lived in Navalaca than in Valmae. Most Kasmish immigrants moved to the Central Kuthernburg, with a large population in Spandard, with a few others moving to other parts of the Kuthernburg and Asendaviaas.

Strong grassroots movements sprung up in Kasmiyland during the latter half of the 19th century (trade unions, temperance groups, and independent religious groups), creating a strong foundation of democratic principles. In 1889 The [[Kasmiyland Social Democratic Party]] was founded. As the Industrial Revolution progressed during the 20th century, people gradually moved into cities to work in factories and became involved in socialist unions. A communist revolution was avoided in 1917, following the re-introduction of parliamentarism, and the country was democratized.

 

 

Following the war, Kasmiyland took advantage of an intact industrial base, social stability, and its natural resources to expand its industry to supply the rebuilding of Gordic Nations. Kasmiyland received aid under the Harold Plan and participated in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). During most of the post-war era, the country was governed by the Kasmiy Social Democratic Party largely in co-operation with trade unions and industry. The government actively pursued an internationally competitive manufacturing sector of primarily large corporations.

Between 1970 and 1990 the overall tax burden rose by over 10%, and the growth was low compared to other countries in Yasteria. Eventually, the government began to spend over half of the country's gross domestic product. Kasmiyland GDP per capita ranking declined during this time.

 

 

 

The response of the government was to cut spending and institute a multitude of reforms to improve Kasmiyland competitiveness, among them reducing the welfare state and privatizing public services and goods. In 2006 Kasmiyland got its first majority government for decades as the center-right Alliance defeated the incumbent Social Democrat government. Following the rapid growth of anti-immigration Kasmiy Democrats and their entrance to the Valmäe in 2010, the Alliance became a minority cabinet.

 

 

In recent decades Kasmiyland has become a more culturally diverse nation due to significant immigration; in 2015 it was estimated that 15 percent of the population was foreign-born, and an additional 5 percent of the population was born to two immigrant parents. The influx of immigrants has brought new social challenges. Violent incidents have periodically occurred including the 2016 Valmäe riots which broke out following the police shooting of an elderly Kuthern immigrant. In response to these violent events, the anti-immigration opposition party, the Kasmiy Democrats, promoted their anti-immigration policies, while the left-wing opposition blamed growing inequality caused by the center-right government's socio-economic policies.

In 2016 [[Stean Löfe]] won the General Election and became the new Kasmish Prime Minister. The Kasmiy Democrats held the balance of power and voted the government's budget down in the Valmäe, but due to agreements between the government and the Alliance, the government was able to hang onto power. Kasmiyland was heavily affected by the 2017 Latianburg migrant crisis, forcing the government to tighten regulations of entry to the country, as Kasmiyland received thousands of asylum seekers per week during the autumn, overwhelming existing structures.

 

 

 

Kasmiyland has four fundamental laws,which together forms the Constitution: the Instrument of Government, the Act of Succession, the Freedom of the Press Act, and the Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression.

 

 

 

Legislative power is vested in the unicameral legislature with 349 members. General elections are held every four years, on the second Sunday of September. Legislation may be initiated by the Government or by members of the Senate. Members are elected on the basis of proportional representation to a four-year term. The internal workings of the legislature is, in addition to the Instrument of Government, regulated by the Benta Act The fundamental laws can be altered by the senate alone; only an absolute majority with two separate votes, separated by a general election in between, is required.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Municipal and county council government in Kasmiyland is similar to city commission and cabinet-style council government. Both levels have legislative assemblies (municipal councils and county council assemblies) of between 31 and 101 members (always an uneven number) that are elected from party-list proportional representation at the general election which are held every four years in conjunction with the national parliamentary elections.

Municipalities are also divided into a total of 2,512 parishes (församlingar). These have no official political responsibilities but are traditional subdivisions of the Church of Kasmiyland and still have some importance as census districts for census-taking and elections.

 

 

There are older historical divisions, primarily the twenty-five provinces and three lands, which still retain cultural significance.

 

 

The courts are divided into two parallel and separate systems: The general courts (allmänna domstolar) for criminal and civil cases, and general administrative courts (allmänna förvaltningsdomstolar) for cases relating to disputes between private persons and the authorities. Each of these systems has three tiers, where the top tier court of the respective system typically only will hear cases that may become precedent. There are also a number of special courts, which will hear a narrower set of cases, as set down by legislation. While independent in their rulings, some of these courts are operated as divisions within courts of the general or general administrative courts.

The Supreme Court of Kasmiyland is the third and final instance in all civil and criminal cases in Kasmiyland. Before a case can be decided by the Supreme Court, leave to appeal must be obtained, and with few exceptions, leave to appeal can be granted only when the case is of interest as a precedent. The Supreme Court consists of 16 Justices, appointed by the Government, but the court as an institution is independent of the Parliament, and the Government is not able to interfere with the decisions of the court.

[[Kasmiy Armed Forces]] is a government agency reporting to the Kasmish Ministry of Defence and responsible for the peacetime operation of the armed forces of Kasmiyland. The primary task of the agency is to train and deploy peace support forces abroad while maintaining the long-term ability to refocus on the defense of Kasmiyland in the event of war. The armed forces are divided into Army, Air Force, and Navy. The head of the armed forces is the Supreme Commander Gentunot, the most senior commissioned officer in the country. Up to 1974, the King was pro forma Commander-in-Chief, but in reality, it was clearly understood all through the 20th century that the Monarch would have no active role as a military leader.

On 1 July 2010 Kasmiyland stopped routine conscription, switching to an all-volunteer force unless otherwise required for defense readiness. The need to recruit only the soldiers later prepared to volunteer for international service will be emphasized. The total forces gathered would consist of about 320,000 men. This could be compared with the 1980s before the fall of the Morstaybishlian Empire when Kasmiyland could gather up to 1,000,000 men.

Healthcare in Kasmiyland is similar in quality to other developed nations. It also ranks high in life expectancy and in safe drinking water. A person seeking care first contacts a clinic for a doctor's appointment, and may then be referred to a specialist by the clinic physician, who may, in turn, recommend either in-patient or out-patient treatment, or an elective care option. The health care is governed by the 21 landsting of Kasmiyland and is mainly funded by taxes, with nominal fees for patients.

The Kasmish health care system is mainly government-funded and decentralized, although private health care also exists. The health care system in Sweden is financed primarily through taxes levied by county councils and municipalities.

 

 

 

At the regional level, responsibility for financing and providing health care is decentralized to the 21 county councils. A county council is a political body whose representatives are elected by the public every four years on the same day as the national general election. The executive board or hospital board of a county council exercises authority over hospital structure and management and ensures efficient health care delivery. County councils also regulate prices and the level of service offered by private providers. Private providers are required to enter into a contract with the county councils. Patients are not reimbursed for services from private providers who do not have an agreement with the county councils. According to the Kasmiyland health and medical care policy, every county council must provide residents with good-quality health services and medical care and work toward promoting good health in the entire population.

All citizens are to be given online access to their own electronic health records by 2020. Many different record systems are used which has caused problems for interoperability. A national patient portal, ‘9872.KS’ is used by all systems, with both telephone and online access. In June 2019 about 64% of the population had set up their own accounts to use personal e-services using this system. A National Health Information Exchange platform provides a single point of connectivity to the many different systems. There is not yet a national regulatory framework for patients’ direct access to their health information.

 

 

Children aged 1–5 years old are guaranteed a place in a public kindergarten. Between the ages of 6 and 16, children attend compulsory comprehensive school. In the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Kasmish 15-year-old pupils score close to the OECD average. After completing the 9th grade, about 90% of the students continue with a three-year upper secondary school (gymnasium), which can lead to both a job qualification or entrance eligibility to university. The school system is largely financed by taxes.

The Kasmish government treats public and independent schools equally by introducing education vouchers in 1992 as one of the first countries in the world. Anyone can establish a for-profit school and the municipality must pay new schools the same amount as municipal schools get. School lunch is free for all students in Kasmiyland, and providing breakfast is also encouraged.
