Svipjoth was founded in 47 BCE by Chieftess Ljufvina Finnsdottir, the matriarch of the Ljufvina dynasty. They have ruled Svipjoth since its founding, for 2,069 years.
The Fylkirate of Svipjoth is a tricameral parliament with partial democracy, partial oligarchy and a constitutional executive caesaropapism. Parliament is made up of the House of Commons, the House of Lords, Temporal, and the House of Lords, Ecclesial. The Fylkir and their monarchical subjects are subject to absolute cognatic primogeniture inheritance laws. Representation in the House of Commons are democratic, while inheritance of baronies and all church properties below the Fylkirate (Cardinalities, Archdioceses, Dioceses, Parishes/Monasteries) are consecutively dictated by military and church appointment. Colonies are always held by the secondary children of the Fylkir (those that do not inherit The Fylkirate); they rule immediately upon becoming of age and are taken out of power once their eldest sibling’s secondary child(ren) are of age. The Fylkir themselves hold the titles of The Fylkirate of Svipjoth, The Mayoral of Uppsala, The Kingdom of Svonja, and The Parish of Allsherjadomkirkja i Heilagur Grjotgard.
