=== Constitutional Crisis ===
=== Constitutional Crisis ===
Over the next month, citizens from all over Norlund worked tirelessly through the Constitutional Assembly to draft a new Constitution for Norlund. On May 18th, 2020 a new constitution was finally posted to Reddit and the Kingdom of Norlund was reborn again. The new constitution allowed for both a prime minister/federal council and an elected monarch. After a long election, King Shamus I was elected. For a time, things were truly looking up for Norlund.

=== The King's "Crime" ===
=== The King's Crime ===
In early June 2020, there was a minor dispute between player Raine and the Norlundic government. RainofPain125 was a highly controversial figure in Norlund, with him being almost unanimously detested, but his right to remain in Norlund being defended nonetheless. In a highly controversial incident, in which the facts are still not clear, RainofPain invited King Shamus to his meagre settlement of Paris, and while Shamus was there, an altercation happened which resulted in Rain being pearled. Shamus and his Ansgar Vikings would claim that the pearling was due to RainofPain threatening bounties upon the Norlundic Government, while other Norlund citizens would claim that Shamus pearled Rain to cash in on a bounty or just to remove the nuisance that was Rain. While most people were secretly happy that Rain of Pain was pearled, people were scared of the premise that a government official could pearl someone without repercussions. As a result, charges were pressed.

=== The Secession of Yoslan ===
=== The Secession of Yoslan ===
On the seventh of July 2020, the Canton of Tawa announced its intentions to secede from Norlund and join Yggdrasil, followed soon after by Yoslan, both motivated by Toxicity aimed at their Cantons and peoples. Talks were opened almost immediately, and the Five demands of Tawa were released, all of which were accepted, and Tawa made the decision to remain. Yoslan, however, went through with secession and became an independent state closely tied to Yggdrasil. Friendly relations have been retained despite at times heightened toxicity.
On the seventh of July 2020, the Canton of Tawa announced its intentions to secede from Norlund and join Yggdrasil, motivated by a widespread protest aimed against the construction of a wall by Tawa, surrounding the entire Canton's border. Tawa's declaration was soon followed by Yoslan, which has used the situation as an opportunity to gain independence as well. Talks were opened almost immediately, and the Five demands of Tawa were released, all of which were accepted, and Tawa made the decision to remain. Yoslan, however, went through with secession and became an independent state closely tied to Yggdrasil. Friendly relations have been retained between the Kingdom of Norlund and the newly formed Tribal Republic of YosLan, with new infrastructural projects being started between the two nations.

Kannin Peninsula is the core of the Canton of Kannin. Home to the majority of businesses, government buildings, and homes, Kannin Peninsula is an urbanite's dream. It has gone under significant renovation, going from an underdeveloped swath of land with only a couple of dwellings, to a multi-layered city center focused on Odilia Square, where prominent buildings such as the Cathedral of Saint Odilia and the Supreme Court of Norlund are centered around.

⚫
=== Yoslan ===
⚫
Yoslan was a Canton of Norlund up until the events following the 7th of July, leading to the secession of Yoslan as an independent state with close ties to Yggdrasil.


=== Tawa ===
=== Tawa ===
Tawa is one of the newest Cantons in Norlund. After a period of rapid growth, it has become one of the biggest urban areas within the country, mostly owing to the dedication of the local leadership, led by Koojikii, and the success of their newfriend recruitment policies. The city of Tawa is home to the tallest structure and one of the most recognisable landmarks in Norlund, the Great Tower, which towers well above the clouds.
The finest city remaining in Norlund, Tawa's central tower pierces the clouds and beyond. Its beauty is unknown in other parts of Norlund. The leader of Tawa is Koojikii, who has been known to play unflinchingly for hours on end in his unlimited quest to build Tawa into the finest part of the north-west.

⚫
=== Norvansgard ===
⚫
Norvansgard is the newest Canton in Norlund. It is primarily composed of former Vaskr members, a Viking clan from TheRealmsMC. They maintain a moderately sized town due North East from Kannin, and have an intricate Nordic culture, with a deep lore and storied past. They are a friendly bunch, and have many social and outgoing members.

⚫
Following [[The Secession of Ansgar]], Norvansgard is no longer part of Norlund, and instead a major territory of the new Kingdom of [[Yggdrasil|Yggdrasil.]]


=== Veria ===
=== Veria ===
Veria, like Norvansgard, has a storied past. Founded on Civcraft 3.0 after a merger between the nations of Euthenia and Illyria. It continued on through many civ servers, including TheRealmsMC, where it was in an alliance with the aforementioned Vaskr peoples. After the outbreak of Coronavirus, Veria decided to mobilize and settle within Norlund as a new municipality. Maintaining a socialist lifestyle, Veria holds everything in common, and maintains a socialist democracy, with an Executive Council and a Popular Assembly. With a population of 18 as of the last census, Veria is the largest municipality within Norlund, and the fastest growing. It is now the center of the great Norlundic Rail Boom, with the construction of the Euthenian Grand Central Station beginning on May 4th, 2020.

As of 22 June 2020, due to unfortunate real life events on the part of the Verian railway project's leader Cortwade, Veria's station remains unconnected with the national rail network.
As of 22 June 2020, due to unfortunate real life events on the part of the Verian railway project's leader Cortwade, Veria's station remains unconnected with the national rail network. As of the 15th of July, the project has once again gained traction and the station, as well as tunnels to most bordering cantons, have been completed.

==== Euthenia ====
Euthenia is the capital of the Commune of Veria. According to the most recent population census it remains the largest city within Norlund. Its neoclassical architectural style is almost unique in the country, with the only other area utilising it being Palaisance. Veria is a major economic and infrastructural hub within Norlund, and is home to the Euthenia Grand Central station. Amongst the most recognisable landmarks in Euthenia are the Great Clocktower and the Communal Library of Veria. Euthenia is also home to the Verian Communal Storage Building and the Iron Bank of Veria, a subsidiary branch of NorBank.

==== Illyria ====
Illyria is, alongside Euthenia, one of the cities which have founded the Commune of Veria over four years ago. It has been settled by A_M_A_Z_E by the northern coast of the Canton, and is planned to be the main port for the Norlundic Expeditionary Corps.

==== Luzia ====
Luzia is the second biggest settlement in Veria, with a population of around 6 citizens. It is a quaint medieval settlement located on the western hills of Veria, where once stood the town of Ostertal. Its position close to a picturesque river valley overlooking Lake Veria, as well as its own architectural beauty, has led to its recent rapid population growth.

==== Vatican City ====
==== Vatican City ====
The Vatican City is a Cantonal settlement sharing it's borders with Tallum. Even if it still is it's own municipality, there are talks about merging with Tallum once Prime Minister Knoxmoor steps down. It sits on the island of Sanctuary within the namesake Vatican Lake, and is known for being a major site for Norlundic Christendom. Headed by Pope Leobonet, the Vatican City the site of significant development. While the full plan for the Vatican has not fully been realized, it's still a site to behold. One of the, what will be, the largest buildings are under construction here: the cathedral of Saint Lucia.

=== Gwenyth ===
Gwenyth is the newest Canton in Norlund. Shortly after it has acquired cantonal rights due to reaching the population quota, the main settlement of Gwenyth has been abandoned. Its inactivity has raised concern over the low requirements bestowed upon new Cantons, and calls to dissolve it and to return the lands to Northreach Territory have been heard since.

A bastardization of the Dutch words for "Fat Tiger," Dikketijger was a promising settlement of 5 newfriends, who quickly went inactive for unknown reasons. Despite the aid of Verian officials, and attempts to contact them, it's unknown where they went.<br />
