Nationella Hedniska Befrielsefronten - Guerrilla

(Image)

Account Name: Democratic Peoples Republic of Kelvinsi

Objective: Create an independent Pagan state in the northern provinces of Dagmar
Political Affiliations:

None, but sympathetic with all parties who want to endorse Paganism

Location: The Northern mountains of Dagmar staging attacks on government troops here and there.
Size: 100 fighters
Typical Uniform/Attire: Green fatigues with no insignia
Background:
The HNFF was formed fairly recently. The members are all former political dissenters of the peaceful movements trying to attain the independence of the northern territories of the north. They resorted to violence, and took up a gorilla campaign against the army of Dagmar. However, for the most part the attacks remain isolated, and relatively uncoordinated rushes against government troops with varying degrees of success. They have claimed a total of one government soldier taken prisoner, and five more soldiers who they wounded, however reports are unconfirmed at this point. The group plans on acquiring more weapons to drive out the government forces of Dagmar out of their beloved home land.
Supports: Independence of a Pagan state up north

Vive la Quebec libre.

Gunnivik
Account Name: Ulg
Elected Representative: Reverend Sigbjörn Valdason

Population: 7,340
Ethnic Composition:

89% Dagmar
6% Norwegian
2% Danish
2% Swedish
1% Other

Background: Gunnivik is a small town located in the western part of Dagmar's main isle. A substantial portion of the population continues to work in agriculture, through a minority work in the copper and tin mines of the area. It is one of the most conservative and "backwards" parts of Dagmar, with very few non-Nordic or non-Christian residents. The town is also notable for its unusual housing, with many residents choosing to live in partially underground homes. They also have a penchant for circular doors. The community was hit hard by the global recession in 2008-2009, with more than a third of residents leaving, mostly to go to large cities like the capital. The town's population has been declining, in fact, since the middle of the 20th century, from a high of almost 20,000 to the current total. The mines are simply not as productive as they had been in previous decades, and the conservative feel of the area causes many to leave as well. This is really a self-reinforcing loop, with the town growing more and more rustic with each passing year.
Religion:

75% Lutheran
10% Other Christian
12% Irreligious
3% Pagan

[Irona]

Husnar

Account Name: Irona
Elected Representative: Ingvar Landvik (RSP, Constituency 71)
Population: 22,543
Ethnic Composition:

84% Dagmari
7% Norwegian
4% Swedish
3% Russian
2% Other

Background:
Husnar is a constituency on the northern coast of Dagmar. Up until the mid-19th century the region was depopulated with various Ásatrú farming community’s being the only inhabitants. In 1857 vast coal deposits were discovered and less than five years later in 1861 the industrial town of Husnar, for which the constituency is named, began to take form. Workers immigrated from across northern Dagmar to work in the new city, mining coal or producing steel. Working conditions were poor and food had to be imported from the south.

By the early 20th century the town had grown an extraordinary extent and union activity brought better pay, better housing and even an underfunded university which during the 1920’s became a hot bed for communists. During the great depression the steel industry in Husnar collapsed and with unemployment skyrocketing both communism and pagan nationalism spread through the population. Confrontations with the primarily Lutheran factory owners spiralled out of control and when in 1935 two teenage brothers were shot by Lutheran police officers after burning down a church, four days of rioting broke out. City authorities were drowned by the sheer number of rioters, those among the Lutheran population who did not flee were killed. In the aftermath of the riot communists attempted to reorganised the city into a commune, but the so called Husnar commune lasted two days before the Dagmar army launched an offensive capturing the entire city in less than four hours of fighting. Retribution was swift and severe but Husnar has never lost its link to communism or pagan nationalism.

Modern day Husnar is smaller than it was during the great depression. Although it still has vast coal reserves it’s now cheaper to import coal than to mine it. The death of the industry was almost the death of the town but in 1988 the discovery of oil fields off-shore lead to a rejuvenation in the town’s economy and the population of Husnar recrossed the 20,000 mark in 2015.

[Nova Anglicana]

Arnulf Rasmussen - Right Party

Account Name: Nova Anglicana
Occupation: Senator

Party Position(s):

None at the moment

Positions in Government:

N/A

Constituency: Sørvik
Political Ideology: Localism, cultural conservatism, green conservatism

Family: Anna Rasmussen (wife), Henrik Rasmussen (son, 24), Sofia Rasmussen (daughter, 18)
Background: Arnulf was born in Sørvik, the son of a poor fisherman named Hans Rasmussen. He quickly took to the family trade, going out to fish for pleasure when he was 4 and was going out with his father by age 7. The young Rasmussen was a fair to middling student at school, and much preferred being outside to the schoolroom. He did take classes at his mother's insistence at the University of Dagmar, but dropped out after two years to return home to Sørvik and be a fisherman. Over the next ten years, he married his childhood sweetheart Anna and made a living by fishing. They welcomed their first child, Henrik, a year after they married, and six years after, their daughter Sofia was born. Arnulf was reluctantly convinced to run for a seat on Sørvik's council, where he gained a reputation for truly listening to the people. When the incumbent representative for Sørvik and the surrounding area decided to step down, Arnulf took on the challenge of representing his town at the national level.
Faith: Lutheran Church of Dagmar (practicing)

Likes: Sørvik, fishing, hiking, brennevin, Scandinavian culture
Dislikes: Overly tall buildings, communism, incivility, nationalism

Any Questions from the Public to be answered?
-What lead your opposition to communism and nationalism - odd, considering your poor and rural background, which is firmly dominated by the Revolutionary Socialists and Pagan Front in other areas?
-Why did you enter politics?
-Do you support same-sex marriage?
-What is your favourite sport?
-How do you plan to deal with the ever-expanding Dagmarn financial sector?
-Who should deal with Syria?
-What does religious freedom mean to you?

• I love my country, but I love Sørvik more. I am a patriot, but first and foremost a localist. It is my home and has been for all my years on this planet. Nationalism is a chauvinistic belief that is founded on hatred of others. We must love what is ours, not hate others for what they have or have not.
  
  As for communism, I find it to be founded on misguided utopianism. I had a taste of communism when I went to university and found it severely lacking. It promises what it cannot deliver and divides us against ourselves. I love what we have and do not wish to see it thrown away in the name of "progress." Additionally, communism has been hostile to Christianity around the world and I do not have high hopes that it will follow a different pattern here, given the pagan tendencies of the RSP.
  
  
• I entered politics so that the people of Sørvik were truly represented by their government, no matter what level.
  
• I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. This does not mean that the government should not extend the legal rights of marriage to same-sex couple through civil unions.
  
• Association football in the spring and summer and hockey as the days grow colder.
  
• The financial sector is both a driver of our economy and a great danger to it. While I believe that the actual physical labour that many Dagmari citizens do every day is more important than simply manipulating money, I recognize how the financial sector is linked to and supports many other aspects of our economy. With sensible regulation that prevents excessive profits by financial managers, promotes investment in local economies, and protects retirees that may have funds invested in Dagmari companies, we can ensure that we use the financial sector in a way that benefits our entire country.
  
• Syria ought to be dealt with primarily by the inhabitants of that region, especially those like Turkey who have the resources to ameliorate the conflict but choose not to commit to it. Countries like the United States, Britain, and France, who are trusted members of NATO should also provide support and engage in diplomatic efforts. I am opposed to Russia or Dagmar intervening in the region.
  
• Religious freedom means the freedom to worship without undue interference from the state. Practices such as human sacrifice that put people's lives in danger ought to be banned, but otherwise the state should have no place in restricting religion.

Sørvik

Account Name: Nova Anglicana
Elected Representative: Arnulf Rasmussen (Constituency 9, Right Party)

Population: 2,978
Ethnic Composition:

Dagmari 91%
Norwegian 5%
Danish 2%
Icelandic 1%
Arab 1%

Background: Sørvik is a southern fishing village that never really developed into a major port, but continued to stay sleepy and quiet throughout its history. The locals value the size of their town and the local environment and didn't wish to disrupt it with further development. It has grown recently with immigration from the Middle East and some from other Scandinavian countries, but remains >90% ethnic Dagmari. One might think this would make them distrustful of outsiders, but Norwegians have been coming to the town for many years to trade and the town has recently benefited from cruises stopping by to see a quaint Dagmari fishing village.

In addition to tourism, the town's economy also relies heavily on fishing, somewhat on agriculture, and there is a growing movement to invest in green energy such as wind and solar in the hills surrounding the town. Religion is also quite important to the men and women of Sørvik, with an estimated 82% identifying as belonging to a religion. The town has seen a small neopagan revival in the last few years, and there is a small community of Swedenborgians that came from Sweden over one hundred years ago.

The town went 53% for Right Party candidate Arnulf Rasmussen in the last election. The SDP candidate won 33%, the Golden Civics candidate won 10%, and the Pagan Front took 4% of the vote.

Religion:

Lutheran 78% (50% attend services at least once a month)
18% Irreligious
1% Ásatrú (Mainstream Pagan)
1% Felthric Rite (Nationalist Pagan)
1% Islam
1% Other Christian

[Murkwood]

Kristrveizla

Account Name: Murkwood
Elected Representative: Ludvik Aminev (Constituency 4, National Revivalists)
Population: 17,354
Ethnic Demographics:

Dagmari - 96%
Scandinavian - 2.1%
Arab - 1%
Other - .9%

Background: Kristrveizla (Christ-Feast in Old Norse) was founded by German Lutheran Missionaries in 1593. The first inhabitants of the town were all missionaries, but the population soon grew rapidly as the missionaries converted the local pagans. The town soon became the center of the Dagmari Lutheran movement. The first written record of the town comes from the famous Kristrveizlachronik (Chronicles of Kristrveizla), written by German monk Konrad Dietrich 1665. This seminal work in modern Dagmari literature chronicled the early history of Lutheranism in Dagmar, as well as the history of Kristrveizla. It highlights numerous facts about Kristrveizla that are still true today, including the largely fishing based economy and devout population.

That last fact is extremely important to Kristrveizlan identity. Kristrveizla is known as the "Buckle of the Dagmari Bible Belt", due to its large conservative Lutheran population. Kristrveizla has one of the highest rates of church attendance in the country, with 43% of Kristrveizlans reporting weekly church attendance. Kristrveizla is also marked by its nationalism, electing the first Nationalist Revivalist senator, Ludvik Aminev, in 2002. Due to the lack of Pagans, the largely Christian Nationalist Revivalists control the local government.

Faith Demographics:

Lutheran: 86% (75% religious, 6% irreligious)
No religion: 9%
Other Christians: 4%
Ásatrú: 2%
Felthric Rite: 1%
Other religion: 1%

[Davincia]

League of Anarcho-Capitalists - Advocacy Group/Paramilitary

Account Name: Davincia

Objective: To secure individual freedom from the coercion of the state.
Political Affiliations:

Anarchism
Capitalism
Libertarians
Agorists

Location: Sørvik, Ormsa, & Ryttaren
Size: 429 (armed), 683 (basic)
Typical Uniform/Attire:

Background: The number of anarcho-capitalists within Dagmar had always been kept at a staggering low, a trend that saw no alteration over complete decades. The League maintained its reputation as a fringe group through a balance of secretive meetings and public rallies, long after its formation in 1978. Little had changed until the organization offered its endorsement to a peculiar Chinese immigrant whom invigorated The League's ideas. Its former chairman stepped down as Lao Xifeng swooped in to take the position, allowing for rapid growth in fundraising, membership, and awareness. The League's endorsement made a significant contribution to Xifeng's political career, to say the least. Her campaign was not without controversy, however. Various members threatened to withhold donations for their chairwoman's participation as a state figurehead. Seeing no other option, Xifeng created a branch within The League to work as a private military, mostly to display who was in charge.
Supports: Religious freedom, racial equality, free markets
Does not Support: Socialism, Communism, Fascism, taxes

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Those ancap paramilitary numbers are ridiculous. That's near the size of the Revolutionary Guard, which is the security wing of the largest party in the Senate. How many ancaps are there, exactly?

Not sure where it says the group have loads of paramilitary men? It has a number for total members that will include those not in the paramilitary part. A number will be part of the lobbying side since it says it's both an advocacy group and paramilitary. They don't all have to be both.

Werner Großschwanz - The Right Party

Account Name: Liberty and Linguistics
Occupation: Senator

Party Position(s): Senator
Constituency: Thorgaard South
Political Ideology: Conservatism, Euroscepticism, Civic Nationalism, Classical Liberalism with elements of traditionalism

Family: Ingrid Großschwanz

Background: Werner Großschwanz was born to a large Catholic family in Salzburg(Austria) in 1967. A studious child, he learned Ancient Greek, French, Latin, and English all by the age of 13. Großschwanz attended the prestigious Ludwig Maxmillian University in Munich, where he studied liberal arts and history, minoring in education. Großschwanz immigrated to Dagmar in 1994, after working as a history professor in Vienna. He immigrated to Dagmar for "purely financial reasons", as Großschwanz wished for a cheaper cost of living and cleaner environment for his new children. In 2001, he became the top history professor at a "prestigious Dagmarian university." One year later, he ran for the Senate under a conservative platform, beating his social democratic incumbent by a small margin. Since, he has been a well known and level headed senator.

Dislikes: Multiculturalism, Socialism, Ethnic Nationalism, Xenophobia, Cheap Beer, Centrism, LGBT Rights, Excessive Promiscuity.

Any Questions from the Public to be answered?

• "Why are you opposed to LGBT rights?" -Kelinfort
-" Good question, Senator. As a Catholic and traditionalist, I can not bring myself to support same sex marriage and the like. I find the idea to completely obstruct the concept of a sacrocsanct marriage between a man and woman, something we need to uphold. That said, I refuse to discriminate and harass our LGBT community."

• Are you a Nazi?" - New Zephua
- "No, just a kraut"

• "What do you think of whaling?" - Ulg
• - "I myself find it primitive, and would never, ever partake. That said, I recognize that many northern Dagmari towns still have whaling ingrained deeply into their cultures. For that reason, I don't think the government should ban it, but I would prefer that whaling is curtailed and regulated to a heavy extent."
