Desiring to centralize Jugoslavijan territories, [[Chipt]] began talks with Terranelm to determine whether Sylthiem would be a good candidate for a land sale. After a detailed tour of Cascadia, Terranelm accepted the offer (with price yet to be decided), concluding that the purchase of Cascadia would present many economic opportunities.
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", authored by Chipt and signed by all citizens at the meeting. This sealing the deal and marking a new era of

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.
Line 30:
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

=== 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

Line 67:
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

===Elections===
Elections are run using the Alternative Vote method. Depending on the circumstances, elections use a combination of virtual and in-game ballots. The Election Supervisor, currently [[Borg_Minion]], counts the votes, and is unable to run for any elected office (despite Borg_Minion being a co-founder of the nation). Elections have been on hold since 5/30/2022 since the beginning of monarchical rule.

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.
