Nortenland is an absolute Monarchy which is presided over by the King of Nortenland, the King has complete Legislative and Executive control over the Kingdom and he maintains authority over the Kingdom's Military forces as well. The Kingdom of Nortenland is made up of 2 Provinces each presided over by a Prince, who makes decisions for the Province in the stead of the King.

Etymology
The name of the Kingdom of Nortenland derives from the demonym "Nortennish" which arose during the foundation of Nortenland as a name for the founders. Following the development of Nortennish the suffix -land was applied and Nortenland was established as the name of the Kingdom. A common misconception is that Nortenland and Nortennish refer to the direction North, another misconception is that the name bears some relation to Emperor Norton the self-proclaimed Emperor of the United States, both of these claims have been refuted by the King and other Nortennish founders.

History
Nortenland was founded on 24 September 2021 with the Declaration of Independence laying out the reasoning for its foundation. The Diet was subsequently founded on 26 September 2021 for the purposes of creating a legislature. It wouldn't be until 7 October 2021 that another significant event would occur, which would be the integration of Falkenreich into the Nortennish Commonwealth. Falkenreich's integration led to a long period of expansion and cultural development in Nortenland, with more Realms being added to the Commonwealth and further Government Acts being passed.

Nortennish Abdication Crisis
On 12 December 2021, King Wolfric I abdicated, citing lack of interest in micronationalism as a whole. His successor King Baldwin I, who was confirmed by the Nortennish Diet, was widely unpopular, and was deposed by the Diet later that day. On the same day, the Diet controversially assumed the power to appoint monarchs, and appointed King Frederick I. King Frederick I assumed the powers of king and permanently banned the Lord of Bärenland, and Prince of Norsex Hunt Odovacar, and also established the Supreme Court of Nortenland.

On 13 December, King Frederick I was deposed and replaced by the temporary King Aeyphix I, who was appointed on the caveat that he would rule until 1 January 2021. The same day Maximilian I of Wynnland, among others, joined Nortenland and attempted to vie for the position of King. Maximilian also gained control of the communications server.

On 14 December 2021 he let the Lord of Bärenland, and the Prince of Norsex Hunt Odovacar back into the server, after negotiations Maximillian gave control of the communications server to Hunt Odovacar; the temporary King Aeyphix I left during this time. Hunt then announced that there were efforts underway to choose a new king of Nortenland. Shortly thereafter Wolfric I returned as King of Nortenland.

Entry into Isolation
Following a short period of stagnation after the return of Wolfric as King, certain individuals stated frustrations with the Kingdom's lack of activity and the government's non-existent communication with the Nortennish populace. In response the Prince of Norsex and the King of Nortenland convened and decided to announce a purge of citizenry to remove "heavily entrenched Anti-Nortennish subversion by foreign sources". This entailed the dissolution of all Nortennish Provinces except for Norsex and Fieldwark alongside every existing Ryke. The independent Kingdom of Bärenland, a former Nortennish Ryke, announced their lack of ill will towards Nortenland and their well wishes in its decision for isolationism.
