Federal Administrative Building in Eriksonborg
A merger of the ancient Icelandic government structure with the government style of northeastern American Indian tribes resulted in a hybrid system that incorporates elements of both cultures. The resulting government has a strong emphasis on democratic principles and community participation, as seen in the Icelandic Commonwealth, but also incorporates the communal decision-making and consensus-based approach of northeastern American Indian tribes.
In this hybrid system, the legislative branch of the government takes the form of a modernized version of the Althing, with a law council responsible for making and enforcing laws. However, the executive branch of the government is structured more like a tribal council, with leaders chosen through consensus-building and community participation.
The regional assemblies of Iceland are replaced by a system of local tribal councils, each with the authority to make and enforce laws specific to their communities. However, these councils are also subject to the laws and jurisdiction of the national government, ensuring a unified system of justice and order across the country.
Overall, this hybrid government prioritizes community involvement, democratic principles, and consensus-building, drawing on the strengths of both the ancient Icelandic Commonwealth and Sokoki tribes.
The head of state of the government of Vermont is known as the Lawspeaker. The Lawspeaker is responsible for leading the Althing and overseeing the implementation of laws in the country.
The Supreme Court is based on the Norse legend of the Norn, the three witches that weave the thread of fate.
When a legal decision or piece of legislations is challenged, teams of scholars led by the Urd, Verdani, and Skuld present arguments for and against rulings based on their scope. In this way, it is thought, Vermont ensures that tradition, pragmatism, and forethought are considered in the final ruling.
There are also term limits, because why the hell would there not be?
