Elected as Grand Duke by the Meremaa legislature called the Union Council. Of which every 10 years the Grand Duke is elected, with Njord being the first Duke from a Zalian Duchy to be elected from. His current reign being one of reform, and civil liberties. In 2020 he signed the Riberoe Pact, ending the tensions over the island of Dalmaghar that has existed since the end of the Meremaa Civil War.

After re-election by the Dizciltigā Padome on the 10th October 2020, Njord II’s government put heavy emphasis on establishing a new constitution.
