   Biography
     Born April 1st, 1953. The second of 7 children and was originally groomed to be a clergyman, he became the official heir of the Kingdom after his Older Brother was assassinated in 1972, blamed on rebels at the time. A purge followed by father and former King Gunvald X for ten years along with some light reforms following until he passed away in 1992. His heir and current King, Ragnar III is a much more transparent and open-minded king than his predecessors, being known as an outside the box thinker but just as ruthless and well liked by his fellow Aryan countrymen. His reforms have expanded the Althing and the chancellor's rights and freedoms and brought in more Third Positionist revisions politically, economically and socially. Being right wing socially and radically left wing economically. He has taken a less direct approach to dealing with subversives and separatists, with his highly trained and secretive Staatpolizei. His children aide in operating the nation's different sectors of society from Dukes to religious and social leaders.
He is has been prescribed many different drugs throughout the years to combat pain from an previous injury, anxiety, and chronic migraines. He split from the Celestian church due to Theological and several social issues.

National Anthem: God is with us

BACKGROUND

The first King of the Goths who united the country from viking tyranny was Tòfi Gustavssen I in 833, with the last Nya Alander's Heathens being driven out then. They first began with mostly costal settlements and trading with the native Goths as early as 45 BC. Mauaraders took advantage of the new land and weak government and soon began raiding. One of these vikings, Ivar Thorsen, was an influential Odinist merchant and leader of a great army he built over time. He also believed he was a son of Thor. He set off with his vikings in 402 and won complete control in 405. He accomplished this several ways. One was shear brute force of several thousand seasoned strongmen. Second, some of the Lords submitted and gave up their lands either to conversion, bribery, or coercion. The last was expanding and improving the economic system of the land once he gained power, which did work to help Gothscovia flourish especially later.


The Nya Alander vikings were for the most part behaved. Any who committed a crime was given a trial, just like everyone else, which was instituted by Ivar Thorsen. His offspring ruled the country sometimes benevolently and sometimes oppressively. The Nord immigrants began to mate and assimilate with native Goths, the two groups had mostly peaceful history, also being of the same ethnicity; the Gothscovian regime considers Alanders Aryans as well therefore Goths. Amongst other things, Alanders ultimately contributed to architecture, the arts, tactics, economic structure, and otherwise culturally.

The First Renaissance began around 1458 and ended in 1512. It brought with it new innovations in Art, Architecture, Education, Literature, Strategy, and Theology. It was followed by the first Gothic Reformation which is considered to have started with the formal break with the Celestian Catholic Church in 1536 by King Theobold I. The Act of Supremacy, created and worked on by the King and the Althing at the time. It severed ties with the Catholic church and Pope, declared the King and succeeding monarchs the Supreme Head of The Church of Gothscovia. The newly-appointed bishops and other clergy were changed over and properly ordained. The bishops having clear apostolic succession. Foreign reformers from other countries were encouraged to come and show their view of theology and doctrine and sometimes teach. The most influential Protestant theologian to the new state church was Leon Johannes Lundberg AKA Leo Jan, a Pietist of Alander and Goth descent. He was the second Archbishop of Gotaheim, the highest clerical position in the church.

The Second Renaissance began around 1855 at the end of a bloody revolution. Said revolution was do to increased tyranny and resulted in an official parliament or assembly called the Althing.
Government Type:- Authoritarian One Party Social Corporatist Monarchy. The King is head of the country and church theoretically. A Chancellor is voted on by the Althing assembly who's members represent their respective districts of the land; think congressmen who work together but have a little less power. The King is allowed to annul any existing law at any time and prohibit a bill passed by said Althing but in reality the reigning King rarely takes the opportunity the do so out of political expediency .
