Götaland

Kingdom of Götaland

The Kingdom of Götaland is a Scandinavian constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. Rooted in Swedish culture and shaped by centuries of Lutheran influence, the kingdom is known for its strong democratic institutions, respect for the rule of law, and commitment to social welfare. Having overcome a turbulent period under a dictatorship, Götaland emerged as a stable, prosperous, and forward-looking nation that places great emphasis on protecting civil liberties, constitutional governance, and democratic values. Its rich Nordic heritage, vibrant cultural identity, and deep appreciation for nature continue to shape its national identity while preserving its historic monarchy and traditions.

Constitutional Convention
141d left
Constitutional Convention Temporary

Called by the head of government or the monarch, or held automatically in a new country's first year. For one year the usual constitutional-change cooldown is suspended, so a new package can be opened as soon as the previous one closes, and the cost of opening a constitutional change package is capped at 75 PP however many changes it contains. Only one package can be open for voting at a time and voting thresholds are unchanged. Once the convention ends, another cannot be called for 10 years. It does not skew elector positions or change salience — its effects are purely on the constitutional change mechanics.
