== Politics ==
Vakrestrender are a [[Norgsveldet#Crown States|Crown State]] under [[Norgsveldet]] and the last of [[Norgsveltian Crown Realm]] to still have Norgsveldet as their sovereign. The Valkyr government holds dejure authority over Valkyr affairs including legislative, executive and judicial. The latter, judicial issue being a hot topic recently with the election of former Norgsveltian Prime Minister [[Johanna Sverdrup]] becoming the Valkyr Prime Minister. The head of the state of the isles is the Norgsveltian Monarch, the current monarch being King [[Olav I]] but his authority to rule over the Crown State is trusted to the royal family of Vakrestrender, the [[Bjørn dynasty|Bjørn Family]] and the current monarch being Jarl [[Jørgen Bjørn]]. The Valkyr parliament, Høvdingting the dates after the first Jarl of the country died, his two dozen husbands and wife establish a democratic meeting place to discuss issues to the realm with the Jarl Bjørn the IIth, signed off on it. Being the second longest continuously running [[Akuan Democracy]] in the world, the first being [[Ma Moku]]. The parliament has 500 seats in total, with the lower house the Leietakere having 400 seats and being the primary piece of legislature while the upper house the Grunneiere only has 100 seats. Positions in the Grunneiere are unelected apolitical positions, representing businesses representatives but holds no real power and is mostly filled with [[Bjørn Trust]] owned-companies. Grunneiere effectively being a prestige position within Valkyr society, and in the greater [[Norgsveltian Crown Realm]] society. Vakrestrender formally use to maintain no military, with [[Norgsveltian Armed Forces]] responsible for its defense and [[NCIS]] acting as the royal guard. However in 2024, in a sudden change in policy, Vakrestrender now maintains two divisions as a royal guard both of which is made up of non-Valkyr natives. The royal guard divisions, has a ceremonial guard, which is in-charge of some limited security matters but primary acts as a guards for the [[Bjørn's Castle]] and other royal holdings while the other division is simply called the Royal Guard which acts more as security force for the Jarl and replaced the [[NCIS]]. Both divisions being made up from [[Norgsveltian Armed Forces]] and [[Côtois Combined Armed Forces]].
Vakrestrender budget is mostly taken from the [[Bjørn Trust]], which acts a unofficial sovereign wealth fund of the country. The Trust pays for all social welfare within the country, including education, welfare and healthcare which most services are usually owned by the [[Bjørn Trust]] in someway or form. In addition to social spending, the trust also funds all cultural events and holidays, in the case of [[Bjørn's Tax Avoidance Day]] created new holidays.
The [[Valkyr Shrine Authority]], is defacto under the authority of the [[Bjørn dynasty|Bjørn Dynasty]] but after [[Akuan Atrocities]] and the death of Jarl Bjørn IVth's sister. Jarl Bjørn IVth gave authority to the Brewmaster council, to be dejure independent of the royal family. The Vakrestrender being the only [[Akuan Democracy]] that is both independent and secular, as well the Shrine Authority being openly secular Akuanist. The Jarl of Vakrestrender holds the position of Royal-Chair to the Brewmaster council.

While technically considered to be a [[Akuan Democracy]], the upper house the Grunneiere is unelected apolitical seats for businesses representatives and has no real power, but does act a status of prestige to be invited into it. As most [[Akuan Democracy]] use the upper house for community elected brewmasters, but due to the secularization of the population it was changed to be more for business during the Valkyr miracle. The Leietakere, the lower house acts as the primary body of legislation and holds 400 MPs seats.
Elections are held every four years, and it is the responsibility of the Jarl to announce new elections and appoints the day of election. In addition to opening the parliament after elections. The PM and the Jarl tend to work closely together, more than what is seen as typical for most constitutional or ceremonial monarchies.
