In Hverland, settlements are classified as one of four categories: capital, city, town, or village. Each classification determines the structure and size of its local council, reflecting the settlement's population and administrative needs. For example, Hverhöfn, is the only settlement classified as a capital and is governed by a council of 31 members and a separately elected mayor. Settlements classified as cities have councils composed of 11 members, one of whom is chosen to serve as mayor by the council itself for a 2-year term. Towns, such as Isafjordur and Húsavík, are managed by councils with 5 members. The smallest settlements, classified as villages like Hvolsvaag, Seyðisfjarður, Höfnarborg, and Siglufirth, are governed solely by a mayor.
In Hverland, settlements are organized into categories (''býliflokkun''): capitals, cities, towns, and villages, each with distinct governance structures tailored to their size and administrative requirements. All settlements, regardless of size, directly elect their council members. Capitals and cities distinguish themselves by allowing citizens to also elect a mayor and ombudsman. Hverhöfn, the only capital, is governed by [[Hverhöfn City Council|a council]] of 31 members along with [[Mayor of Hverhöfn|a mayor]] and [[City Ombudsman of Hverhöfn|ombudsman]] elected separately by its residents. Cities are managed by a 15-member council, with mayors also elected directly by residents.


While Hverland's settlements do not possess police or legislative authority, they hold the power to enact local ordinances, particularly regarding traffic and parking enforcement. As legal entities, settlements have the capacity to engage in legal proceedings within administrative courts. Operating independently of a strict local state hierarchy, except for judicial review concerning administrative law compliance, Hverland's settlements enjoy a significant degree of autonomy. They collaborate regionally, with state agencies extending their services across these regions to address employment, economy, transport, and environmental concerns.  
Towns and villages, however, adopt a {{wpl|consensus democracy}} approach to leadership. Towns are governed by a 7-member council, while villages operate under a 3-member council. In these smaller settlements, the position of mayor does not exist officially. Instead, the role is akin to a "Primus inter pares" (first among equals), with the council members themselves selecting one among them to fulfill mayoral duties. This selection is rotational, adhering to a convention that sees the mayoral responsibilities shift annually.

This article contains a list of settlements in Hverland.

Governance

In Hverland, settlements are organized into categories (býliflokkun): capitals, cities, towns, and villages, each with distinct governance structures tailored to their size and administrative requirements. All settlements, regardless of size, directly elect their council members. Capitals and cities distinguish themselves by allowing citizens to also elect a mayor and ombudsman. Hverhöfn, the only capital, is governed by a council of 31 members along with a mayor and ombudsman elected separately by its residents. Cities are managed by a 15-member council, with mayors also elected directly by residents.

Towns and villages, however, adopt a consensus democracy approach to leadership. Towns are governed by a 7-member council, while villages operate under a 3-member council. In these smaller settlements, the position of mayor does not exist officially. Instead, the role is akin to a "Primus inter pares" (first among equals), with the council members themselves selecting one among them to fulfill mayoral duties. This selection is rotational, adhering to a convention that sees the mayoral responsibilities shift annually.

While Hverland's settlements do not possess police or legislative authority, they hold the power to enact local ordinances, particularly regarding traffic and parking enforcement. As legal entities, settlements have the capacity to engage in legal proceedings within administrative courts. Operating independently of a strict local state hierarchy, except for judicial review concerning administrative law compliance, Hverland's settlements enjoy a significant degree of autonomy. They collaborate regionally, with state agencies extending their services across these regions to address employment, economy, transport, and environmental concerns.
