== Etymology and terminology ==
In the beginning of Norgsveldets' founding it was called '''The United Kingdoms of Riksheim and Novreheim''' or more commonly '''Riksheim-Novreheim''', however there were several of disagreements of which nations name should be first. Which was only solved after the act of unity were the both kingdoms agreed on calling the nation after the geographical region both kingdoms is placed in. Norgsveldet name come from what ancient traders called the region, mean the northern realm. The first documented use of name, is at 100 AD. Some disagreement have been about the official name for Norgsveldet during the mid 1800s came up. Some meaning that the nation should be called the kingdom of Norgsveldet, instead of the united kingdoms of Norgsveldet. Debates about it is
==History ==
Line 74 ⟶ 75:
The oldest foundings of humans in Norgsveldet is from 25,000 years ago, having come from southern Concorde. With elves coming to Northern parts of Norgsveldet 50,000 years ago. These early years of the regions history was mostly known by nomadic people, and hunter-gathers societies. It is estimated that people living in the region started making clans and making farms around 5,000 years ago. It has been questioned that this started in southern parts of Norgsveldet. Not much else is know about this period other then when it was, and that there were little to no conflict.

Line 80 ⟶ 84:
In the south an jarl going by the name Ragnar Haraldson was also uniting chiftendoms and clans. According to sagas from Riksheim Ragnar united Riksheim through several military campaigns, or with financing rebellions in other clans. He is also often called by the title "Ragnar the terrible" because of his harsh rule over his subjects. It is said that many people under his rule fled to Novreheim to escape prosecution. Ragnar was available to hold the control of Riksheim through funding an professional and loyal military called hirden that was only loyal to him. Which made Riksheim in modern standards an millitary dictatorship. However later kings would after a while calm down the usage of Hirden to create a better and centralised nation. Such as king Ragnar II that made laws that protected farmers. During the 1200s there were big emigration from Novreheim and Riksheim, with people wanting to settle away from the kingdoms to become more free from that rule of the kings. According to old sagas the people emigrated to an region called Eyjar, which means islands in old Norgsveltian. Eyjar making up the modern day borders of [[Eyjaria]].
Riksheim is also well known for their pagan warriors called vikings that often pillaged their neighbours and trading ships that went to the region. With the vikings establishing colonies in Gondwana such as creating small coastal colonies in what is now Nyveldet, colonising the Isles of Hel and Gustafsborg. While Novreheim was well known for their tradesmen and was a place for many traders and merchents visited their coasts. Nations like [[

[[File:Rolig.jpg|right|thumb|15opx|Rolig jord, from the painter Edvard Hansen]]
Under the rule of King Haakon II Norgsveldet went through several social and economic changes.
===1950s-1990s===
At 1952 Queen [[Magrete I]] was corronated as the first Queen of Norgsveldet.
After the election of 1954, prime minster Agnir Hansen was elected as the first elven prime minister and the first labour party prime minister. After several years of the politics be dominated by NCP and LNP. Agnir Hansen policies ensured more welfare, higher social securities, higher taxes and more state owned companies. With foreign policy being one of isolation, as he tried to make the nation more self sufficient. Agnir Hansen and the prime minister of Eyjaria, Georg Bjørnhjelm signed the treaty of Svenhus, which gave Eyjaria independence, while also ensuring free trade between both nations and an common currency. At 1960 Norgsveldet tested its first nuke, after Agnir Hansen was heavily pressured from parliament and from the Queen to create an nuclear arms program. At 1965 Ragnar Aasen from [[Ulvriktru Democrats]] was elected as prime minister, thanks to his anti-communist rethoric and promises of increased nuclear build up. Which by 1965, Norgsveldet had nuclear stockpile of 50. Under his ministry the nation supported a military coup against the Communist goverment in Helslandr, and supported Royalist Incurgencies in the Republic of Atlalandr, which lead to the reinstating the monarchy there in what is now called the [[Violet Restoration War]], but with Atlalandr divided with a constitutional monarchy in the [[Atlalandr|West]] and a republic in the [[East Atlalandr|East]]. The war causing an large increase of political radicalisation within Norgsveldet. Which increased the popularity to a far left party called the Norgsveltian Einarist Party(NEP). However how much it affected political life in Norgsveldet was uncertain, with the NEP highest electoral success to be 7.56%. After the reelection of Ragnar Aasen in 1969, Tiereshs Nationalist militias declared Tiervan independet from Norgsveldet. Agnir Hansen’s was defeated in 1972 by the NCP leader Jakop Storhaug, for his failure at dealing with the Tieresh nationalists, with the NCP critizing him for early loses in the war and to relaxed diplomacy with East Cerdani that was supporting the Tieresh Nationalists. With Jakop however being replaced as party leader in 1981, that same year Norgsveldet, New Legans, Dvalheim and Eyjaria made the international organisation called the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]] or "Union av Sammenveld Alianser" in Norgsveltian, which is an millitary and economic alliance. The alliance was made mainly to strengthen Norgsveldet economic power after the bloody war against Tiervan in the [[Tieresh Independence War]] ended with a loss with only keeping the small nation of Dvalheim as a puppet in the region, however ended up giving independence to other colonies like [[Meremaa]] in North Gondwana. In 1984 Queen Magrete I was assasinated by far left terrorist from the NEP. Which the then prime minister Ivar Dval used as an reason to pass an law banning said party, and any far left party. Causing for many from the [[NCP]] voterbase turn to Labour Party leader Magrete Kverheim in the 1985 election, in which she formed an Grand coalition with the Ulvriktru Democrats and Liberal National Party. [[Magrete Kverheim]] pushing for stronger and more independent economic policies, on which she pushed forth the creation of [[North Concordian Economic Forum]] as way to combatan South Hill's economic influnce in the North Concord. The then Crown Prince Olav was caught in controvery when people found out about his relationship with an neko immigrant, however with mostly support from the working class and middle class this controversy calmed down. He was finnaly allowed to marry his wife at 1997 when he was avaible to convince his father to allow it, his father being against it simply for his view that royalty should marry other royals or members of high society. One that was backed by the Norgsveltian clergy and conservative communities in the mostly rural Nyveldet. In contrast heavily urban areas in mainland Norgsveldet like Osfjord had heavy public sympathy to Olav, often from labour movements and kemonomimi migrant communities. Even Magrete Kverheim having given her public support to the Crown Prince. Norgsveldet was also dragged into the [[Meremaa Civil War]] (1990-1994) after the republican forces attacked an Ulvriktru temple and Morstaybishlia officaly supported the republicans, after disagreements in the goverment and the [[Ulvriktru Democrats]] pressured that they would leave the coalition. Norgsveldet supported monarchist side in the civil war. After the victory of the monarchists gave Norgsveldet greater standing in geopolitical affairs abroad but has put as a standing point of continued Morstaybishlian-Norgsveltian rivalries. The matter of the civil war still being controversial topic between the two countries to this day. The leader of the republican forces, [[Tyr Vaines]], got executed for treason after the war once the monarchist government was able to take over what was left of the republican hold outs.

The main relgion in Norgsveldet is [[
While [[Ulvriktru]] does have diffrent branches those branches is mostly for political reasons then religious ones. The religous divide in Ulvriktru happening in the late 1700s when king Gustaf II of Norgsveldet made himself head of the Ulvriktru religion. Which religous divide to those who recognised the Norgsveltian monarch religous authority and those that did not. Later on being called Gustafstic Ulvriktru for those who recognise the Norgsveltian monarch as head of the Ulvriktru faith giving him the title of Fylkir of the Ulvriktru faith, and the ones who rather recognise the Gothirs as the religious leaders of the Ulvriktru faith as Gothiric Ulvriktru. With Gothirs accross Gothiric Ulvriktru chosing the High Gothir of Ulvriktru, as a personal embodiment to counter the Norgsveltian monarch religious authority.
While Asatru does not have diffrent branches like christianity it does however not have one specific god to follow. While the god Odin is seen as the main god, it is often his son Thor that is frequently prayed to and whorshiped. Which also can be seen with certain people following the religion often wearing [[Wikipedia:Mjölnir|Mjölnir]] as a necklace. In an similare way with the cross being used as necklace. ▼
In 1950 the seperation between Temple and state happened, while attempt before was made it was not before under the labour party leadership of Agnir Hansen that seperation was succesful. There is however still some connection between the Asatru temple and state, more specificaly between the monarch and the temple. By Norgsveldet consitution the monarchy must be an fellower of the Asatru faith and it's teachings.▼
