Sylthiem is a large nation in the
==History ==
The nation of Sylthiem was founded on December 21, 2020 by [[Terranelm]]. After traveling through Twiceland and the land of [[Cascadia]],
=== Terranelm's First Term and The Cascadia Purchase ===
[[File:CascadiaPurchase.png|thumb|The Cascadia Purchase book, authored by Chipt I and signed by members of Sylthiem]]
Desiring to centralize Jugoslavijan territories, [[Chipt
At the time, Sylthiem had little to no economy, with nothing to export besides alcohol to get the diamonds necessary to purchase Cascadia. However, thanks to the hard-working group of
On January 16, 2021, Chipt I met with Terranelm, [[goosejuic3]], [[pdln]], and [[Borg_Minion]] at Terra's Tavern to agree on the terms of sale. It was decided that Cascadia would be sold for 45 diamond blocks and an alliance. The terms of the sale are as follows:

# Sylthiem will commit to maintaining the Palaima National Forest as a nationally protected area.
These terms were written into a book titled "Cascadia Purchase"

The first debates for the Chiefdom of Sylthiem occurred on January 18th. Four candidates ran for office: [[_Racc00nn_]], [[Habit_Cat]], [[Terranelm]], and [[pdln]] (although due to unforeseen circumstances [[_Racc00nn_]] did not attend the debate). Habit_Cat put an emphasis on culture and the growth of
After the debates, citizens were given a week to vote for their preferred candidates. At the end of this week, the results were declared by [[Borg_Minion]] on January 22nd. [[Habit_Cat]] scored first place, meaning he would become the next Chief Diplomat. [[Terranelm]] received second place, [[pdln]] third, and [[_Racc00nn_]] fourth. [[Terranelm]] spent his last day in discussion with [[Habit_Cat]]. Terranelm transferred control of Sylthiem to [[Habit_Cat]] with his blessing, while the two were in cauldrons brewing apple mead, setting the trend of each term being 32 days long.

On February 8, 2021, members of the Grove Faith waged war on the Yusefarian faith, whose followers lived in [[Jugoslavija]]. Grove Faith crusaders swiftly occupied the Jugoslavijan state of Lazarica. Syltheim was wholly unprepared for this, but rushed to defend their newfound allies. A small force consisting of [[Chipt I]], [[Saashin]], [[lognbtw]], and [[Endossi]] was organized the same day to fend off the occupants of Lazarica, a province of [[Jugoslavija]]. Upon arrival, they were countered by [[StonkseleksI]], and later [[CreeperColder]], who killed [[Chipt I]] and [[lognbtw]]. [[Endossi]] and [[Saashin]] dispersed, meaning that the troops of the [[Grove Faith]] had successfully defended the territory they had occupied for themselves.
The following day, Kaleidoeyes127 of Jugoslavija and a group of
=== Terranelm's Second Term ===
Soon after Syltheim
=== _Racc00n_'s First Term ===
After Terranelm was reelected, he quickly realized that he had not yet recovered from DeathPercent's attack, which had taken a mental toll on him.
=== Habit_Cat's Second Term ===
=== logbtw's First Term ===
Logbtw may have been known for his loyalty to the Syltian people and staunch support for military strength, but his greatest accomplishment as Chief Diplomat was his drastic improvement to Syltian national security. Over the course of days, he significantly reduced the number of Syltian faction claims, entering all existing claims into a tracking system. Additionally, he sponsored a bill to clean up a cluttered storage area in Malarfjoll.
=== Terranelm's Third Term ===
=== Chipt's First Term ===
Chipt's first term marked the first time a non-native citizen of Syltheim was elected Chief Diplomat, a symbolic moment for the welcoming nature of Syltheim. During his term, he completed the [[Constitution of Syltheim]], which featured a new system for land ownership, allocating Syltian land into regions led by each citizen.
=== Chipt's Second Term ===
Chipt's first term was successful enough for him to be re-elected. In his second term, he proposed a transit plan, creating roads between all regions in Syltheim for greater interconnectivity.
=== pdln's First Term ===
=== Terranelm's Fourth Term ===
=== Terranelm's Fifth Term ===
=== Chipt's Third Term ===
Shortly after the votes were counted, Borg_Minion announced a tie between Chipt and Habit_Cat. Fortunately, Habit_Cat willingly allowed Chipt to take the reigns of Syltheim, preserving the amicable nature of Syltheim's elections.
=== Terranelm's Sixth Term ===
Due to a minor malfunction, Borg_Minion was unoperable, and was unable to announce the election results at the scheduled time. A few hours later, however, it was soon revealed that Terranelm had won the election, and was sworn into office shortly afterwards. During this time, a new unofficial law was proposed in which there would be no election if the incumbent Chief Diplomat passed a vote of confidence. This was never adopted into the lawbooks, but was used in practice. Syltheim's populace was somewhat apathetic when the vote of confidence came to pass (which was indicative of the rampant inactivity soon to come), with only 2 citizens voting in favor of keeping Terranelm in office, with no votes against this.
=== Terranelm's Seventh Term ===
[[File:Habit Cat.png|thumb|The rather undisputed transition of power from Terranelm to Habit_Cat.|391x391px]]
During Terranelm's Seventh Term, he was mostly dormant, along with Syltheim's population. Despite this, he did propose a complete ban on the creation and use flint and steel, suggesting a shift torwards lava buckets (or as he dubbed it, "Government Issued Pain Buckets") in the interest of protecting Syltheim's gravel from further damage. This proposal narrowly passed with 66 percent of the vote, but was never added to the constitution. During this time, Syltheim became too inactive to hold regular elections, meaning Terranelm held office unopposed for nearly 72 days not including his previous term. Eventually, Terranelm decided that the role of Chief Diplomat would be better suited for someone else, and he passed the reigns to Habit_Cat without an election on 5/30/2022.
=== Habit_Cat's Third Term ===
After Habit_Cat was instated as Chief Diplomat, he realized that the Syltian nation was plagued by Voidrot. Habit_Cat took drastic measures to ensure the nation regained stability, and declared himself the king of Syltheim. He was able to successfully eradicate most of the Voidrot epidemic, and still rules presently while Syltheim continues to recuperate. Public opinion remains anti-monarchy, but the consensus during these specific circumstances support Habit_Cat's course of action.
==Government ==
See article: [[List of Sylthian leaders|List of Syltian 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.
===Political Parties===
Sylthiem's founder, Terranelm, expressed that the existence of multiple political parties is something the nation should strive for. Right now,

===Elections===
Elections are run using the Alternative Vote method
===Foreign Relations===
Syltheim is part of the [[Northwestern Alliance]], a group of nations in the Northwest with similar ideals. Syltheim has not entered any alliance with nations outside this group, but maintains friendly relations with the outside world.
===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.

==== 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. 2 players currently hold a government position, at 28% of the population.
==== Villager populations ====
While villagers do exist in Syltian 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 140 villagers. Heimstǫd af Býrnir had 18 villagers at the time of the last census.
=== Language ===
See article: [[Syltician language]]
Two primary languages are used in Syltheim, Common and Syltician. Common is spoken by 100% of the population, while only 14% speak Syltician. The amount of players who speak other languages is unknown.
=== Religion ===
See article: [[Jǫrðars Creed (Sylthian Religion)|Jǫrðars Creed (Syltian Religion)]]
[[File:Screenshot 2022-12-09 231741.png|thumb|A villager in a temple to the god Frikko in Blindvé.]]
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, Hauåker, 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 Syltian 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 ==
=== Player culture in Syltheim ===
==== Art and visual media ====
See article: [[Sylthian architecture|Syltian architecture]]
Visual media in Syltheim is primarily expressed through buildings and architecture, with Syltian styles distinct from the rest of Elgeis. Cascadian, Twicelandian, and Common styles have all effected Syltian architecture.
==== Mass media, literature, and philosophy ====
A few pieces of Syltian 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 philosophy of Syltian 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. Syltians believe that the Sylt of a sovereign country is to be respected and preserved.
==== Games ====
[[Godeka Nibainin]] is a popular betting game in Syltheim. The game uses a Sythian Standard Deck, which has 36 cards, containing 9 ranks and 4 suits.
=== Villager culture in Syltheim ===
See also: [[Sylthian villager culture|Syltian villager culture]]
While communication with villagers is still impossible, some things can still be inferred about villager culture in Syltheim. Naming conventions, burial traditions, and the structure of the main plazas all indicate the existence of a villager culture.
