==Government ==
See article: [[List of Sylthian leaders]]
 
The government is set to be made of the executive and legislative branches. The executive branch is made up of the leader and their cabinet, while the legislative branch is currently made up of the general population.

===Government Finance===
The concept of taxation has been strongly and almost universally opposed since the founding of Syltheim. Alternative methods such as statewide resource production and trade have been considered, but considering there are hardly any occasions for the government to spend money, no method has been implemented.
 
== Demographics ==
 
=== Population ===
 
==== Player population ====
The player population of Syltheim was last counted at 7, though some players remain sick from Voidrot. 6 players run their own district or town, or 85.7% of the population. 4 players currently hold a government position, at 57% of the population.
 
==== Villager populations ====
While villagers do exist in Sylthian trading halls, only 'free villagers', i.e. villagers that live in a town, village, or homestead, are counted in a census. Blindvé Village currently has the largest villager count, with the last census counting 107 villagers. Heimstǫd af Býrnir had 18 villagers at the time of the last census.
 
=== Language ===
See article: [[Syltician language]]
 
The two primary languages are used in Syltheim, Common and Syltician. Common is spoken by 100% of the population, while only 14.2% speak Syltician. The amount of players who speak other languages is unknown.
 
=== Religion ===
See article: [[Sylthian religion]]
 
The religion of Syltheim, also known as Jordars Creed by practitioners, is only practiced by 28.4% of Syltheims population.
 
=== Urbanization ===
The primary urban settlements of Syltheim include Mallarfjoll, Ragako, Hilmrburg, Blindvé, Heimstǫd af Býrnir, Twicetown, Bloxford, Goozengrad, and the Cascadia district. Some of these settlements are only urban sprawl, and have no villager or player population to speak of, such as Twicetown and the Cascadia District. Mallarfjoll, Ragako, Bloxford, Goozengrad, and Hilmrburg are all populated by the players that run the district. Blindvé has the largest free villager population in Syltheim, and is also populated by a player, while Heimstǫd af Býrnir has a smaller villager population and no player population.
 
=== Education ===
while attempts have been made to create schools, colleges, and universities, none have been completed. None of the Sylthian population has received a formal education, which could be considered part of the reason the Syltician language is only spoken by a fraction of the population.
 
== Culture ==
Not much philosophy, visual arts, or mass media have made any impact on the population, but Sylthiem's native faith has started to gain traction within the nation.
 
=== Art and visual media ===
See article: [[Sylthian architecture]]
 
Visual media in Syltheim is primarily expressed through buildings and architecture, with Sylthian styles distinct from the rest of Elgeis. Cascadian, Twicelandian, and Common styles have all effected Sylthian architecture.
 
=== Mass media, literature, and philosophy ===
A few pieces of Sylthian literature have been written during Syltheim's existence, including, but not limited to ''Terra's Technique of Tussle (TTT) and Where God Went Wrong (WGWW).''
 
Another important aspectphilosophy of Sylthian culture is the concept of Sylt, meaning Gravel in most contexts, but also meaning the earth/soil of any sovereign country. Sylt includes gravel, sand, dirt, grass blocks, terracotta, podzol, mycelium, etc. Sylthians believe that the Sylt of a sovereign country is to be respected and preserved.
