Norlund (/Nɔːrlʊnd/ or /Nəʊrlund/), officially the Kingdom of Norlund, is a sovereign country in the north of the mainland of CivReign. It is a constitutional monarchy, comprised of 4 cantons. Norlund is popularly known for its friendliness toward new players, its large population, its direct democracy, its good builds, and its established culture. Norlund has existed on numerous earlier civ-servers such as on TheRealmsMC as Norlund (TheRealmsMC), CivEx and CivRealms as Norlund.
History
The CivReign Beta
At SOTW, Norlund sent out several explorers to uncover and survey the far north for a good place to settle. Norlund first established a settlement in the icy North, named after Norlund's old capital Kannin. In addition to this, a search party sent south in search of good farmland established a temporary base camp known as the "Southern Settlement", alternatively in different Norl dialects as "Karlstantinople" and later renamed "Gülhäfn" (Gül). The Norls quickly realised, after several raids, that Kannin was in an area that was open and difficult to defend. Coupled with the fact that crop growth rates proved to be dire, the nation decided to move Southwards. However, some Norls decided to remain at this settlement in hopes of forming a Canton, renaming the town "Ninnak."
Meanwhile, a good island was found to the south west of Ninnak, and it was decided that this would be where the new Kannin would be built.
Kannin would soon flourish, becoming one of the best-built cities on the server, with other settlements soon springing up.

Cantons
By the end of the server's beta there were four cantons established by the Constitution, namely:
Kannin- With its namesake capital on its namesake island, Kannin was the beating heart and administrative centre of Norlund during the beta. Kannin city consisted of the harbour, administration and finance sectors of the nation. Kannin also had territory on the continental mainland consisting of smaller settlements and farmland.

Drengrfold- Run by the Angry Germans, Drengrfold officially consisted of the Northern tundra, the Gülhäfn area and the island of Sneedhaven. Despite this, the de facto capital of the Canton was the Angry German Company Headquarters on Kannin island. In addition to their cantonial territory, the AGC also established various company territories such as Osnatharn on the southern coast of the mainland and the Bananaland canal in the Southeast. The former was not without controversy, however.

Ninnak- Run from its namesake capital, Ninnak consisted of the northernmost tundra of Norlund around the area first settled by the nation.
