The Land
Normark holds no official land on the planet Earth, rather choosing to be a part of the thriving Micras sector of micronations. This has afforded Normark the ability to have a more realistic looking land mass and the ability to interact with other nations along the same lines. Normark itself is divided into feudal provinces, each represented by their respective feudal lord in Stortinget.
Government
The government of Normark is a blend of a constitutional monarchy and an absolute monarchy. The Grand King defers his powers to other offices of government. In any situation, the Grand King has the authority to overrule any decision made by any office of government (lead by Magistrates) and to enact any law or writ without approval. However, this is a seldom event, with the Grand King rubber stamping most acts and writs. The constitution of the realm creates a legislative branch where nobles and Magistrates may debate and vote on bills of law and policies of government. However, the constitution limits what can be changed within the document itself.
