Magdalena Katrine Anderssen Nordhaag (born 31 December 1960), usually known as Magda Anderssen, is a Wulffren politician serving as First Minister of Wulffmark since 2015. The second woman to hold the office, and the first from the centre-right, Anderssen won two elections in 2015 and 2019.
A financial researcher and writer by trade, Anderssen previously served Minister for Local Government in the Dalholm Cabinet from 2006 to 2007 and a Deputy Chair of the Union Party from 2010 to 2014. She has been a member of the Sturting for Brorkkemouth County since the 1999 election.
Early life
Anderssen was born in 1960 in Brorkkemouth and grew up in Kirgruen, an affluent suburb in Brorkkemouth County. Her father Kjell Anderssen (1919-2007) was a bank manager, whilst her mother Sylvia Gamkrad (1921-2012) was an assistant for the Brorkkemouth Today newspaper. She passed the exam for the realskole and in her last two years took Wulffren language, Politics, Economics, and History. In 1982 she earned a BA in Politics and International Relations from Brorkkemouth University but disliked her time there and was did not engage in politics. She then found work as a researcher in the Brorkkemouth Werania#Banking_and_finance branch.
Early and Local Political Career
Anderssen first stood for Brorkkemouth County Council unsuccessfully in 1985 but was not elected. By that year she was working for the consumer electricals company LRasmussen and wrote for the Union Magazine. She was eventually elected in the 1989 election and became a frequent magazine contributor, which began to establish her profile within the party. In 1992 the Magazine described her as a "a rising star" in the County and even a potential future Leader. After being re-elected in 1993 she also began poltical writing professionally for local and ocassionally national outlets, and her 1998 book Ikesturtingen (literally The Not Great Assembly, a parody of the national legislature's name) was well recieved. The book detailed her experiences campaigning and serving in a humourous tone, with satire and some "lessons" for aspiring local politicians.
Later Poltical Career
Anderssen was elected to the Sturting in 1999 election on the Brorkkemouth County list. She made her first speech in opposition the Euclean Community bill which, subject to a referendum, would begin formal membership talks with the EC, including the euclo currency union. From 2000 to 2001 she was elected as the annual President of the Women's Union Party. She established herself as a loyal backbencher and was tipped for a cabinet position in the then considered unlikely event of a Union victory in 2003. Despite the surprise centre-right victory this did not occur until 2006, when following the voluntary departure of Anne-Grete Bramme she was appointed Anderssen Minister for Local Government. Her main focuses were co-ordinating national and local infrastructure priorities. She left office with the Dalholm Cabinet after the 2007 election and returned to the backbench, winning election to the Sturting Local Government committee.
In 2010 she left the committee upon election as Deputy Chair of the Union Party, becoming one of the party's leading figures. In this capacity she attended a 2011 election deputies debate with a well recieved performance. The FM candidate Lars Bjerken was rumoured to have shortlisted her for Interior Minister in a potential cabinet, as centre-right lost the 2011 election this did not occur.
2015 election
First Minister The Speaker of the Sturting nominated Anderssen for First Minister on and she was confirmed
Political views
Anderssen has consistently been a centrist within the Wulffren centre-right, leading to descriptions as both a pragmatic conservative liberal and unprincipled
opportunist. As First Minister her policies have been economically liberal within a national orientation, favouring low taxes and government spending alongside
limited immigration and higher retaliation against trade protectionism. She has also adopted a euclosceptic stance, arguing that Wulffren membership of the Euclean
Community would be "effectively incompatible" with the EC in its present form and that its greater moves toward federalisation was the "beginning of the end" for
national democracies. However she has also adknowledged the need for co-operation, summarising her preferred relationship in a 2015 election debate as "with [the EC]
but never of. Her foreign policy has been predominantly non-interventionist, and in 2015 she announced she would only deploy a military intervention as a last resort.

The brøsen (symbol Br, plural brøsor) is the national currency of Wulffmark. Introduced in 1922 to replace the former Wulffren krone, it is formally divided into 100 øre, although only 50ø coins are currently issued. It has been pegged to the Aininian louré at a central rate of 7.23Br since 1988.
Name
Originating from the word brøns (bronze), the name was historically colloquial for the lowest denominated bronze specie of the medieval Wulffren krone and its subunits. Although higher denominations were made from silver, gold and rarely platinum, only the bronze coins were typically seen by commoners making it the most publicly-recognised coin. Use of bronze spiece had ended by the late 17th century when the coins had been heavily debased with copper and other metals, although the phrase remained in common use for low denomination coins, which had retained the brown colouring. In the 18th century, the name was revived for small value deposit certificates.
The official name øre is derived from aurum, the latin for gold, although only early øre coins were minted from that.
History
Economics
Due to the impossible trinity, the Sturbank's targeting of exchange rates prevents it from targeting interest rates. Although capital controls have historically been imposed (as recently as XXXX), the Sturbank has never adopted interest rate targeting. Economists have noted that because of this Wulffren interbank rates have never deviated more than 179bp from Ainian benchmark rates.
