'''Svaldheim''' ({{wp|Swedish language|Svaldish}}: ''Sväljdheim''), officially the '''Republic of Svaldheim''' ({{wp|Swedish language|Svaldish}}: ''Republiken Sväljdheim''), is a sovereign state in [[Hallania]], comprising the northern half of the mainland and a number of small islands. It is surrounded by the [[Loekic Ocean]], sharing its sole land border with [[Tuskval]] to the south. The 2018 census recorded a population of 11.9 million.
 
According to Svaldish oral tradition, Svaldheim was founded in 361, when the demi-god and {{wp|culture hero}} [[Sönnungr]] married the {{wp|Jötunn}} princess [[Dröfn the Jötunn|Dröfn]] and was crowned [[Monarchy of Svaldheim|King of the Svalds]], before ascending to [[Dísitrú|Valhöll]] and achieving full godhood upon his death. His successors successfully integrated the {{wp|Scanian|Svedales}} and {{wp|Greenlanders|Alvers}}, before establishing the {{wp|feudalism|feudal}} [[Kingdom of Alversvald]] in 780, which by 1011 had been superceded by the more powerful and successful [[Kingdom of Svaldheim]].
 
Following successive conflicts with the rivalling [[Kingdom of Tuskval]], the two crowns were [[Hallanic Union|united]] in 1655, when [[Gustav I & III|Gustav III]] became king of both nations. His successors would face opposition from Svaldish nobles as they attempted to centralise power in [[Rhinmond]], though ultimately the monarchs would prevail and an {{wp|absolute monarchy}} would emerge. Following the 1798 inheritance of [[Crethia]], the crown's power stretched across the continent, and in 1812 the kingdoms would be merged into the [[Kingdom of Hallania]]. Under Imperial Hallania, Svaldheim would emerge as one of the leading locales of the {{wp|industrial revolution}}, with Vitstad emerging as a key shipbuilding and manufacturing hub and the coal belt powering the nation.
 
In the aftermath of Hallania's defeat in the [[Continental War (Gaia)|Continental War]], Svaldish separatists would emerge as a prominent movement, with the [[Hallanic Wars]] seeing the kingdom splinter, with Svaldheim achieving independence. The period also saw conflict within the country; between [[Red Svaldheim|reds]], [[Green Movement|greens]] and [[Kingdom of Svaldheim (1917)|whites]]. Svaldheim would emerge ultimately as a republic, and following the brief [[Loose Ends War]] with Tuskval, peace would settle on the continent. Svaldheim would help to create the [[Hallanic Commonwealth]] and [[HALSAT]] in the 1960s, and begin to pursue a form of pan-Hallanism that opposed Tuskish hegemony.
 
Svaldheim is a {{wp|Federation|federal}} {{wp|parliamentary system|parliamentary}} {{wp|republic}}. The current [[President of Svaldheim|President]] is [[Emil Lundell]], while [[Klara Malström]] serves as the current [[Chancellor of Svaldheim|Chancellor]]. The Svaldish economy is considered the primary example of {{wp|Nordic model|longship democracy}}. Svaldheim has a nominal GDP per capita of $37,829. The capital and largest city is [[Vitstad]], a major urban area with a population of just over a million. Svaldheim is a leading member of the Hallanic Commonwealth, and is also a member of the [[Assembly of Nations]].
 
==Etymology==
The {{wp|English language|Irtish}} {{wp|exonym}} "Svaldheim" is a direct translation of the {{wp|Swedish language|Svaldish}} endonym "Sväljdheim", which itself is derived from the {{wp|Old Norse|Old Hallic}} "svälja" and "heimr", meaning the "Home of the Swallows". "Swallow" is believed to refer the {{wp|spirit animal}} of an {{wp|Greenlandic Inuit|Alver}} tribe, the name given by one of the {{wp|Old Norse|Old Hallic}} tribes migrating northwards. The first recorded use of ''Sväljaheimr'' is dated to the 450s, found in a passage of the ''[[Kungliglinje]]'', while the first recorded use of the more modern ''Sväljdheim'' is dated to 1756, found in a royal decree from [[Viktoria I]].

As with the rest of [[Hallania]], Svaldheim is historically a [[Dísitrú]] nation. Prior to the establishment of the republic in 1916, Dísitrú, in the form of the [[Dísitrú#Denominations|Damentrú tradition]], was considered the state religion. The new republic enacted a policy of {{wp|Laïcité|official secularism}} and {{wp|religious freedom}}, leading to the disestablishment of the church and the end of widespread government involvement in religion.
 
Modern Svaldheim is a secular, religiously diverse nation, though Dísitrú retains the largest number of adherents. The historical and cultural legacy of Dísitrú is also prominent, having influenced the legal system, government and culture of the nation. The [[Dísitrú#Denominations|Sennleið tradition]] first appeared in Svaldheim in early middle ages, emerging from Old Hallic paganism similarly as in the rest of [[Hallania]].
 
Following the [[Damen Reformation]] the 12th century, Damentrú quickly emerged as the primary Dísitrú tradition in the country, surpassing the opposing Týrinntrú tradition and smaller branches. Despite this, other traditions did not entirely disappear, and some smaller traditions managed to flourish. [[Dísitrú#Denominations|Frelsuntrú]] later emerged as a significant minor sect, particularly among the working class.
 
According to the 2018 census, 57.2% of the population belong to one of the Dísitrú traditions. Most followers of Dísitrú adhere to the Damentrú tradition, while a smaller proportion belong to Týrinntrú or to other smaller denominations, such as Frelsuntrú.
 
{{wp|Irreligion}} is widespread in the country, particularly in urban areas, with 36.6% of the population in 2018 declaring to have no religion.
 
Other religions also maintain a presence in the country, with [[Ditanery]], [[Taido]] and [[Marism]] all recorded on the 2018 census, primarily among minority ethnic groups and in migrant communities. Ditanery has had a presence in the country since the middle ages, generally practiced by [[Erdara|Erdaran]] merchants, while [[Taido]] appeared only more recently, largely as a result of migration from the [[Tuskval|Tuskish]] territory of [[Kyuko]].
 
The semi-mythical king, culture hero and demi-god [[Sönnungr]] is considered the {{wp|patron saint|patron deity}} of Svaldheim; his symbolic trident is included on a number of national symbols, most prominently the coat of arms and the logos of national sports teams.
