'''Svaldheim''' ({{wp|Swedish language|Svaldish}}: ''Sväljdheim''), officially the '''Republic of Svaldheim''' ({{wp|Swedish language|Svaldish}}: ''Tjodvelden 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and {{wp|Greenlanders|Alvers}}, before establishing the [[Kingdom of Alversvald]] in 780, which by 1011 had been superseded by the more powerful and successful [[Kingdom of Svaldheim]].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 Valhamn 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]] in 1956 and [[HALSAT]] in 1967, 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}}, as a {{wp|developed country|developed}} {{wp|World Bank high-income economy|high-income economy}}. Svaldheim has a nominal GDP per capita of $37,829. The capital and largest city is [[Valhamn]], 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|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]].

{{main|Economy of Svaldheim}}
[[File:9-028 Rotterdam ECT.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The [[Port of Valhamn]] connects the [[Hallanic Commonwealth|Hallanic economy]] to the world.]]Svaldheim can be described as the stereotypical {{wp|nordic model|longship democracy}}, maintaining a {{wp|developed country|developed}}, {{wp|World Bank high-income economy|high-income}} {{wp|mixed economy}}, with high levels of public welfare. The Svaldish economy acts as a crucial pillar of the wider western economy. The country hosts lucrative shipbuilding, manufacturing, services, energy and technology sectors. Svaldish transport infrastructure is highly integrated with the other Hallanic countries, with the [[Port of Valhamn]] acting as the primary entry point to western markets for [[Aussia|Aussian]] international trade. Svaldheim is characterised by a well-trained and productive workforce, high exports per capita and sizable public investment. Additionally, the [[National Economic Council]], which represents {{wp|trade union}}s and corporate bodies, aids the government in coordinating {{wp|social dialogue}}.
 
Svaldish GDP per capita is $37,829, with a total nominal GDP of $453.19 billion. The country ranks highly in {{wp|income inequality|income equality}}, {{wp|human development}} and {{wp|labor rights|workers' rights}}. The workforce is highly educated, with Svaldheim maintaining the second highest level of {{wp|tertiary education}} in the world. The economy is also considered highly innovative. The country maintains a high {{wp|minimum wage}}, which can be partially attributed to higher than average union membership in the country, with union density at 63%. {{wp|Co-operatives}} of all stripes are more common than the global average, with many companies run as co-ops, in part due to government incentives.
 
[[File:Hallanic Commonwealth smaller map.png|thumb|left|250px|Svaldheim is a member of the [[Hallanic Commonwealth#Single Market|Hallanic Single Market]].]]Svaldheim was one of the centres of the {{wp|industrial revolution|western industrial revolution}}, with the region seeing the rapid development of strong manufacturing, steelmaking and mining industries alongside the growth of the more traditional shipbuilding industry. As part of the [[Kingdom of Hallania]], Svaldheim contributed to that nation's political and economic advancement, and was colloquially known as "the Hallic engine". In addition to this, Valhamn grew into Hallania's second largest port, and thrived on trans-oceanic trade with the wider world. Hallania remained the most industrialised nation from 1820 to 1901, and Svaldheim remained the nation's most productive region.
 
The aftermath of the [[Continental War (Gaia)|Continental War]] saw the breakup of Hallania, and Svaldish independence saw a marked increase in trade union activity, who came to dominate the nascent republic, leading to the establishment of a {{wp|social democracy}}. Successive governments oversaw the expansion of the {{wp|welfare state}}, the introduction of {{wp|public healthcare}} and greater government involvement in the economy. Economic crashes in the 70s and 80s, combined with high levels of public spending and spend-focused {{wp|macroeconomic policies}} saw the growth of public debt, until budget balances in 1994 and 2015. Debt interest comprises 15.1% of 2019 government spending.
 
[[File:MS Oasis of the Seas.JPG|thumb|right|250px|[[Svaldish Shipbuilders]] remains a significant employer.]]Svaldheim is a founding member of the [[Hallanic Commonwealth]], and participates in the [[Hallanic Commonwealth#Single Market|Hallanic Single Market]]. In addition to this, the [[Svaldish daler]] is pegged to the other Hallanic currencies via the Commonwealth's {{wp|fixed exchange rate|fixed exchange rate mechanism}}. Svaldheim's membership of the EC has led to a close integration with the other Hallanic economies, furthering Svaldish economic specialisation in port infrastructure.
 
Since the 1960s, the {{wp|service industry}} has emerged as a significant sector of the Svaldish economy, though the nation's {{wp|industrial base}} remains significant. The financial sector remains small compared to neighbours, though [[Valhamn]] has emerged as a financial centre. Privatisation was pursued during the 1980s, though a number of significant industries remain nationalised; including [[Svaldish Gas]], [[Svaldish Shipbuilders]], [[Svaldheim Steel]] and the [[Valhamn Port Authority]]. Government investment in the economy remains widespread outside of nationalised industries, with significant business and technology grants, infrastructure spending and farming subsidies.

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.
