Background: A coastal, southern town, Thorgaard was first settled by Norwegian vikings, who named the city the equivalent of "Thorgaard" in Old Norse. By the 1600s, Thorgaard became a fair sized fishing village filled with Norwegians, home to a few hundred residents. By the time Dagmar achieved independence, Thorgaard was a fair sized city. While very Norwegian in the beginning of the 20th century, Dagmari people began immigrating to the city in droves. However, the city still retains it's Norwegian heritage, architecture, and even language.
With 18,777 people, the city has grown slowly since the 1970s. The major industry was fishing, but white collar jobs are becoming increasingly popular in the city, with the tech and science industries having many small businesses and upstarts in the area. At the last election, incumbent and Right Party member Werner Großschwanz won 52% of the vote, while his main opponent, Inga Morgenssdotter of the Social Democrats, won 34% of the vote.

Alfred "Alf" Bjørnsson, Baron of Gyldnebaek - Right Party
Account Name: Valluto
Occupation: Senator
Party Position(s):None
Positions in Government:Senator
Constituency: Gyldnebæk
Political Ideology: Moderate Conservatism, Agrarianism
Family: Stefania Andersson
Background:
The Gyldnebæk branch of the Bjørnsson family had been a staple of the quaint farming town for over a century. When Alfred was born, the family owned nearly a quarter of the farmland surrounding the town, several small businesses within the town, and the magnificent Messenbakke, the family's Edwardian country home. As such, Alfred received every privilege, but was also brought up to be kind and just to others, whether they were from town or grand country palaces. He was somewhat mild-mannered, yet charming and handsome. One day at the age of 11, he was playing soccer and suffered a horrible accident when he tripped and fell just right on a stone and broke his knee. Doctors were able to repair a majority of the damage and most of the ill effects were short-term, except for a slight limp that persisted after physical therapy.
As he grew into a young man, Alf, as he was affectionately dubbed by his peers, became interested in literature and art, becoming an amateur (if mediocre) painter and an avid consumer of every kind of literature, from Shakespeare to Tolstoy. During his time at a local Lutheran secondary school, he was taught English and excelled as a writer, eventually taking a particular interest in political discourse. He attended University in the capital, where he studied Government and Agricultural Business. During his five years there, he spent a semester each in Germany and England and a summer in the south of France. He would go on to study Government at Cambridge, earning a Master of Arts degree there.
Financially comfortable due to his family's considerable wealth, Alf took two years off to volunteer as part of a Lutheran mission as a math and English teacher in Namibia. While there he also took an interest in local sustenance farming and studied it closely. Alfred made many discoveries while in Africa, but his most prized find was Stefania Stefania Andersson was, like him, a Dagmarian working in Africa, except she was there as a volunteer physician. The two became fast friends and eventually fell in love. Once they had returned to Dagmar, they eloped before eventually having an extravagant, yet traditional, wedding in Gyldnebaek. They bought a house there shortly after. Alf found work with his father, Randal, the Baron of Gyldnebaek, managing the estate and spent his extra time consulting on local political campaigns, which he had become enamored with shortly after returning home. Stefania found work at a local hospital as a dermatologist. As the couple entered their early thirties, they had twins, Albert and Astrid.
Shortly after Alfred turned 34, his father passed away and he inherited the Barony as well as the estate. Though his father had been a shrewd businessman, Alfred wanted to expand the family business, make a name for himself, and contribute to humanity all at the same time. Ambitious and armed with a good family name, he secured a hefty loan and purchased a dilapidated truck factory and had it refurbished and refitted to manufacture tractors, plows, and tractor parts. Business was slow at first and for several years the factory operated at a loss, eventually becoming self-sufficient and generating a small, but certainly not exceptional profit. More importantly, in Alfred's mind, he and his family were providing much-needed employment to the people of Gyldnebaek during a sluggish economy. Against the advice of his consultants, Alfred paid his workers well and maintained full employment, even hiring cripples to do clerical. Soon the factory's modest profits were large enough to build a second factory in a nearby town.
Alfred did well enough financially, he had the family fortune and expansive farmlands to lean on after all, but did not become very rich off of his industrial pursuits. Instead, he gained something far more valuable: popularity. Since he provided employment to a couple hundred people in and around Gyldnebaek and treated them fairly, many families looked up to Alfred. He gained a reputation as kind and just, eventually becoming de facto Mayor of Gyldnebaek, the man to see when you needed help or guidance.
When an open senate seat became available, Alfred was encouraged by local Right Party leadership to stand for the seat. To them, he had all the boxes checked. He was tall, noble, handsome, popular, and wealthy, all the makings of a successful conservative politician. He was quickly nominated without much fuss and went on to be elected Senator for Gyldnebaek with 58% of the vote, with the Social Democratic candidate receiving 31% and the Centrist receiving 11%. In the Senate, he was a mostly low-profile, working on local issues and toeing the party line on most occasions. He became an outspoken defender of the Church and small farmers, but also became a persistent voice for increased international aid, particularly to Africa.
After the King dissolved parliament, Alfred was reelected with 78% of the vote, owing to the public's outrage at the recent Prime Minister appointment scandal and to his popular reputation.

Flæmingur Hanssen - Social Democratic Party
Account Name: Arglorand
Occupation: Senator
Party Position(s):
Foreign Policy Spokesperson
Positions in Government:
N/A
Constituency: 27 (Port Dagerbard)
Political Ideology: Social democracy, reformist socialism, alter-globalisation, eurofederalism
Family: Wife: Astrid Nielsen. Two daughters: Miranda and Hanna.
Background: Born in 1971 in the city of Northnesse, Flæmingur comes from a relatively well-off working class background - his mother a doctor and his father an oil worker. His introduction into politics came relatively early, at the age of 16 in the general strike of 1987, when representatives of various trade union councils, among whose membership was his father, clashed with the government over proposed factory closures. It was this event that first gave him an interest in the field of workers' rights, which led him to develop broadly democratic socialist/social democratic views. In his studies at Berg University in 1989-1993 (Middle Eastern Studies, MA), Flæmingur became involved in political activism proper, joining the youth wing of the Social Democratic Party; a few years later, the party proper. After receiving a doctorate from Northnesse University in 2003, Flæmingur went into teaching, becoming a lecturer at the Port Dagerbard Political Science Institute. It was here in Port Dagerbard, a small city of just under 29,000 inhabitants, that he settled down, being elected in 2007 to the local council, and in 2011, in a surprise victory over the incumbent candidate, an independent agrarian who had held the seat for three election cycles, to parliament as a representative for the SDP.
Faith: Lutheran (Church of Dagmar)
Likes: Social justice, equality, democracy, falafels, religious freedom, freedom from religion, workers' rights, feminism, humanitarian aid, European integration.
Dislikes: Islamophobia, racism, anti-semitism, fascism, right-wing politics, religious fanaticism, nu atheism, imperialism, Putin, Leninism.

- What is your view of socialism, given your working-class, trade unionist background? I believe in an eventual socialist reorganisation of society and I consider myself a reformist socialist - or, if you will, a social democrat of the old-school Bernsteinist mold. I do not, however, believe a socialist society is possible at this time and I believe that it demands significant technological and democratic advancement before it can be realistically achieved.

Víndhjalmur/Vaindhialmur
Account Name: New Waterford
Elected Representative: Úlfrik Ásbjørnsson
Population: 23,845
Ethnic Composition:87% Dagmari
7% Norwegian
3% Other Scandinavian
3% Other
Background: Víndhjalmur was founded by Viking settlers as a fishing village. Its pagan population was largely unaffected by the Christianisation of Dagmar in the 11th and 12th centuries, and it grew into a sizeable port town by the 1300s. Its status as such attracted many traders who settled in the town; these traders came from across Dagmar (including Christians) and from overseas. In particular, Víndhjalmur had a significant Jewish community up until the Second World War, when most fled to safer countries due to the large risk of Nazi occupation. However, their influence on the town's landscape is still present, with synagogues visible in districts near the harbour.
The activity in Víndhjalmur's harbour began to decline during the late 20th century, leading to high unemployment which was worsened by the Great Recession. Popular opinion turned further right, leading to Úlfrik Ásbjørnsson of the National Revivalists being elected as MP in 2010.
Perhaps the most famous landmark in Víndhjalmur is the Grand Library, the foremost source of knowledge in Dagmar.
Religion:66% Pagan
