SWEDEN - THE LAND AND ITS GOVERMENT​

General Laws

Not long ago every part of Sweden had its own laws, landskapslagar, but in 1350 the King Magnus Eriksson enforced a common law over the enitre realm, Magnus Eriksoon countrylaw (OOC: Would in its basics be in effect until 1734).

A hundred years earlier the Protocoll of Alsnö (Alsnöstadga) was imposed. It removed the swedish people duty to participate with arms in the Kings war. The people neither had to contribute to the Kings travels through the lands. Instead they would contribute by paying regular taxes. This was also the beginning of the feudal system of Sweden. The King, bishops and large land lords was to be liberated from taxation in return for contributing with men for war. The protocoll of Alsnö also formed the so called castle counties (slottslän) where a castle was made the center of a counties administration and defence.

The Fridom letter from 1319 is sometimes reffered to as Swedens equal to the english Magna Charta. It states that the king must follow the law, and that taxation cant be imposed without concens from concerned part.


The King and his powers.

In Sweden a son doesnt inherit the the crown from his father, as the Kings asre still elected inSweden. How ever i practise the elections are more of a show these days... as it is often emrely the already established royal line that may impose their claims.

Once elected and confirmed, by the different parts of Sweden (Finland is represented as a whole) as crowned at Mora stenar The King, or the crown, gets controll of the large estates mostly named "Uppsala öd". It is the lands which are under tehc rowns direct controll and is rougly 1/8 of Sweden. Except for this the King also gets to gather taxes from the 5/8 of the Swedish lands that isnt under the rule of the nobility nor the church aswell as rule over land that isnt irrigated. (forests etc)
The central goverment

Besides the King or his appointed Viceroy there is the royal council, composed by the bishops aswell as the highest ranked among the nobility.

The royal council togheter with the King wasnt all mighty though. New laws and taxes had often to be sanctioned in so called "Herredagar" a kind of pre parlament where representatives from different parts of Sweden was gathered.


Counties

Sweden is divided into "län". Län is usually translated as county. The counties are the subdivision of the state, which have led to that the county arms can be crowned with a royal crown. A län is led by a "landshövding" or "lagman", land chief or governor, appointed by the King. The "lagman" headed the "lagsagoting", the court with jurisdiction over the entire county. It meet four times a year and judged in matters which was lifted from the jurisdiction from the "häradsting", explained below.

In contrary to many of Europes feudal nations a swedish län isnt inherited. It is the head of state who appoint the chief of a län and upon his death, the King may appoint a new one, or even take it away. This gives the head of state great power. For several reasons though, it isnt unusual that a son inherits a fathers former position. This way the family will stay loyal to the central power. A "lagman" was mostly part of one of the highest rankest families in Sweden.

A castle often acts as a centre of a län, being center of both administration as the counties defence.

RELIGION​

From being pagans the first real attempt to convert the swedes was made by Ansgar in 829. How ever it would take until the eyar of 1000 until the first swedish King was baptised. Even then it would take another 100 years until Sweden was won for the christian cause. Around 1100 several bishops was installed in Sweden and in 1164 the first Archbishop was appointed by the Pope in Rome.

Except for the Archbishop of Uppsala, bishops are installed in Strängnäs, Västerås, Linköping and Åbo. The bishops of Skara and Växjö are currently under foreign dominion, but should be gfalling under the Archbishop of Romes jurisdiction.

Important monestaries in Sweden are Riseberga, Alvastra, Vreta, Askeby, Sko, Vårfruberga and Julita.

FOREIGN POLICY​

Being a part of the the vast realm of the Griefs, Sweden is subordinated the Kings decision. How ever, as little as the King stands above the law as little can the King force the nobility nor the people to take part of foreign adventures without their concent. Although the foreign policy is determined by the King he can not enforce his decisions without concent from the Royal Council or in a "Herredag"

Three Lakes Trade Endeavour


I: The Royal Crown of Sweden shall embark upon an endeavour with Pskov-Novgorod with the object of facilitating the movement of raw goods and trade product from Finland, pariticularly the interior to the major trading centres of Pskova and Novgorod. This shall be done by expanding upon and improving the natural waterways that already connect these regions. Doing this shall create a far more expiditious and less expensive route for Finnish goods to get to market, even during the winter when such pathes can be converted into sled routes along the frozen waterways.

II: Both parties agree to supply funds, equipment and manpower to the value of at least 8,000 roobls.

III: Both parties agree upon completion of the project to apply taxes and tarriffs upon goods moving through the waterways of no more than 3% of total value of goods transported, 4% in winter due to extra maintenance costs come the spring.

IV: The Trubetskoi organization shall set up a guild hall in Stockholm to oversee its operations within Finland and the entirety of the Swedish Kingdom. Likewise, any trading organization representing the Crown of Sweden is welcome to set up a similiar base of operations in the Peterhof district of Novgorod. The City of Novgorod shall match the cost for any such construction up to 2,000 roobls.

V: The organization above mentioned operating out of Novgorod shall be required for recrod keeping purposes to keep details of all its operations upon specially sealed paper that is available for purchase from the City of Novgorod as is standard for any such agreement.

VI: If at a future time either party sees fit to increase its portion of taxes or tarriffs upon the constructed route, that party is free to do so at a maximum increase or decrease in rates of up to 1% additional per three years.

At the castle "Tre kronor" - The Council

The Council was gathered, headed by Marius, Vice roy of Sweden, in the absence of King Casimir.

First on the agenda was how to meet the incrasing deemand for salt and clothing. It was quikly dealt with by letting Karl Knutsson Bonde be in charge of setting up trade routes, which hopefully would not only meet the demands but also be a source of future prosperity. Karl Knutsson Bonde, was a bit reluctant to this task, but subordinated himself to the will of Marius at the end.

The Archbishop also brought forth the issue about the bishops of Skara and Växjö, something that the Council couldnt do much about but all agreed upon that the Archbishops view on the matter was the correct one, although a letter would of course be needed to Rome in order to confirm it.

It was also the issue of maintaining the production of important goods within Sweden. The years that had passed had inflicted disturbances in not least the mining industry, this had to be dealt with, thus Viceroy Marius appointed Kettil Karlsson Vasa to look over the matter.

Several other issues was discussed that evening. The Council of Sweden was once again in full work...

Royal Docks, Stockholm​

​

​

Rurik Romanivitch Breshev, a heavy bear cloak wrapped tightly around his broad body stepped off the plant onto the dock reserved for peoples having come to meet especially with the Viceroy. It had been many years now since Romanivitch had been here and he was pleased with what he saw. Sweden had been in a period of complete peace for as long as he could remember and it was shown in her buildings, the quiet lifestyle about them. There were of course problems with the seperatists in the east, but that obviously had had little effect her in the capital.

One of the official couriers of the court came to greet him in due fashion and Breshev gave a polite nod of his head. Rurik was one of those men who hold great ambitions but have in their life always seemed to have had something of a greater power intervene, to make all his plans for naught. While in start contrast his brother was something of a legend these days in the Baltic, some saying the trading wealth of Pskov-Novgorod rest firmly on his ever more plump shoulders. Romanivitch greeted the courier, "To the Viceroy, for audience please. I come upon contract on behalf of the Trubetski organization and most importantly by the grant of her majesty Grand Princess Mina Andreyevna of Pskov-Novgorod and Tver."

From Bremen arrives a letter in Stockholm, where it is delivered to Karl Knutsson Bonde.

Herr Karl Knutson Bonde of the Swedish Reichsrat.

I shall answer your short letter as direct as you opened it, starting with your last question first. Only through a complete understanding of this question can a satisfying answer to your first proposal be reached.

I have considered Stockholm, Viborg and Helsingfors full Hanseatic members, since april 1431. The three citiers are allowed one representative in the Hanseatic Council, just as Bremen is allowed one representative, sitting for both Dresden, Calais, Malmö and Bremen, as well as several minor cities in the lands under Bremer ducal control.
These three Swedish cities have the same obligations and enjoy the same benefits as all other Hanseatic members. They are required to provide docking to Hanseatic ships, and in all aspects treat Hanseatic merchants as if they were natives to the city in question. The cities are also required to obey treaties signed by the Hanseatic council.

In return, the cities enjoy all benefits enjoyed by all other Hanseatic members; these include the right of docking and low taxation as mentioned above, benefit from the Hansas treaties abroad, such as in the English city of Kings Lynn and through it the English market, the Portuguese city of Lisbon and thus the Portuguese market, etc. No matter where a man sails in Europe, the Hanseatic flag either gives direct benefits, or carries such a respect that it brings easier access to trade.
Among these benefits is of course a toll-free passage through the Sund. Should any ship from the mentioned three cities have been forced to pay the due, I do apologize and shall bring the subject before the Hanseatic Council, where compensation will undoubtly be granted.

Having answered that question, I will adress your first issue.
The Hansa is allways willing to assist in providing shipping. I am willing, as head of the Hansa, to discuss a formal treaty, but I do believe that your desires can be with without such. The abovementioned cities serve as gateways for Hanseatic merchants to the Swedish mainland, along with the Hansastadts of Gotheburg and Malmö, through not directly controlled by the Swedish Crown. However, should Sweden desire even easier access to Hanseatic shipping, I will either send a representative to Stockholm, or welcome any man sent here in Bremen, according to Your wishes.

By his own hand in Bremen
Johann III of Bremen, of Prussia, of Braunschweig-Göttingen.

Breshev was escorted to a room where the Viceroy Marius awaited.

"Ah Breshev I presume. I was informed that you come on behalf of the Trubeti, or was it Tubetski organization aswell as the Grand Princess Mina Andreyevna herself. Always a pleasure to have such notable guests here. God knows it have been awhile since we last had the oppertunity to show our hospitality..."

The servant who had showed Breshev the way, was still standing in the room. Marius looked at him quikly adn thenr eturned his eyes to Breshev stating.

"Could I offer you anything or would you rather go direct to the reasons of your visit?

As for this organisation... Excuse my ignorance, I have had other matters on my mind lately, but could u shortly brief me what its purposes are, trade perhaps?"

Meeting with Marius​

​

​

Rurik Romanivitch positively beamed at having recieved an audience so quickly and easily. Though in the back of his mind he only attributed it to his family name, and everything done by his family name must be attributed to his brother Nikita, and the more Rurik thought of it, the more he scowled and the less he beamed. However upon his address from the Viceroy these concerns were stuffed back away into the recesses of his mind and he bowed politely in the Swedish fashion (he had been a number of times previously).

"My lord" he respectfully began, "The Trubetski organization is based in the city of Pskova and is a brotherhood of men who know a good thing when they see one, and want to invest the capital at their disposal to get a piece of that good thing. To not be too vague, I hope, of course." Romanivitch thought (probably wrongly) he covered the subject quite sufficiently and moved on, "The Trubetski, whom I represent, the Grand Princess whom it is a solemn I honour I represnt both want the same thing... as you say... well I should put it economic relations with Sweden." Rurik Romanivitch had a funny habit where he'd curl the ends of his beard when speaking of money, "Previously, as you may well remember or know, there were great plans for an infrastructure project between Sweden and Pskov-Novgorod to open up Finnish goods... already common upon our markets", he added parenthetically "to merchant trade from the great cities of Pskova and Novgorod and to accomplish this by enlarging, regulating and improving upon the river systems that already connect the interior of Finland with our own commercial network... " Catching his finger having rolled up in his beard nearly to his chin, Rurik stopped, gave something of a shy smile which only make him look more awkward and awaited the Viceroy's response.

 

[unmerged(7347)]

Marius listened politely to Rurik Romanivitch as he replied upon Marius´s questions. He seemed to remember the man but could of course be gravely misstaken. So many passed the swedish court...

"Economic relations sounds all fine... How ever I have appointed one of the members in the Riksråd to take charge of such as "economical relations and trade". As you understand a viceroys job never ends thus it is necissary to delegate these simple matters...

The finnish project does sounds interesting. Im being intrigued by the idea and fully understand why its being discussed before. How ever what specificly would be the benefits with it? To my knowledge the finnish parts and Pskov-Novgorod has not much to offer eichother as they basicly have a surplus of the same kind of goods or!? Perhaps it is some kind of transit trade it would promote!?"

 

[N Katsyev]

Meeting with Marius​

​

​

"This is the most exciting part!", interjected a visibly animated Rurik Romanivitch. Rurik paced a moment to compose his thoughts and turned back to the Viceroy's face, though nodding to him respectfully forgetting whether that was the custom here or not and figuring it safer to do so anyway, "As the goods of Finland are goods so prevelant in Pskov-Novgorod, we have a customer base, we have contracts already established for these goods. As such we can guarantee their flow and sale. The more goods we have at our disposal, and the cheaper we can get them to market, the lower prices we can offer and therefore eliminate the competition. As such, for resources to arrive from inner Finland to Viborg, they would then have to be transported via Hansa shipping to Visby, Bremen or some other major market."

Breshev had leaned over a wooden table in the room, drawing a route with his finger on the soft timber as if a map lie there. With a smile he looked up at Marius, "You see, if we jointly develop a better system of getting the Finnish goods into the markets of Pskov and Novgorod, major commercial centres, then you can expect to have your goods sold that much quicker and more steadily. Sweden benefits from tolls and taxes along these water routes as well as making her merchants that much more wealthy, Pskov and Novgorod benefit by having increased volumes of trade through her markets and the same tolls and taxes on her portion of the route."

Frowning as if remembering something, Rurik paused a moment before continuing gesturing with his hand palm up, "There was another thing. The Grand Princess would pay for the entirety of the project including a little extra for Sweden if Savolaks was sold to Pskov-Novgorod in the process... However this is hardly necessary at this stage, but it is a valid offer if your exalted honour would consider it.... "

 

[unmerged(7347)]

Marius listened carefully to Rurik Romanivitch words.

"You make good points. A co-operation between the Crown of Sweden and Pskov-Novgorod could indead create a basis for thriving commercial...

It would be much about developing the infrastructure I guess then aswell as forge strong ties between us so that the spirit of trust that is essential in all affairs will be established. I would like to propose that a swedish representative set up an office in Novgorod and a representative for your merchants sets up a similar in Finland thus there offices can come in handy to further aid our merchants be it via monetary exhange help with the language or contacts...

For the financing of the whole enterprise I assume respectively realm sees to that the necissary infrastructure are being developed.

Hmmm... would you be so kind to draft something up in a treaty thus we could take a look what the possible artichles would be!?"

Marius looked upon Rurik with a smile.

Turning to the next issue he stated.

"I am afraid that it wont be possible with such a sale. I rather not discuss that issue at all... after all it wasnt long ago bloody wars where fought due to these border areas. I would think that the matter serves best by not being discussed... For the moment status quo is all that Sweden wants."

 

[N Katsyev]

Meeting with Marius​

​

​

Romanivitch nodded hastily and curled his beard in response to the answer about the sale of Savolaks for the deal, "Of course, of course, but I had to ask you know, duty and all." Rurik beamed that his pet project, so close before to realization might actually, this time, come to be. Ordering in a scribe he began dictating to him the following...

Three Lakes Trade Endeavour


I: The Royal Crown of Sweden shall embark upon an endeavour with Pskov-Novgorod with the object of facilitating the movement of raw goods and trade product from Finland, pariticularly the interior to the major trading centres of Pskova and Novgorod.

The Viceroy examined the treaty and made a few humming sounds as he read some parts of hit.

"Hmmm..."

A few seconds of silence.

"Mmmmm..."

He looked up on Rurik and then return his gaze to the paper.

"Ahummm..."

Reading the last lines of the paper he simultaniously waved for a servant. Then turned to Rurik once again stating.

"Aye!"

Marius told a servant to bring him inc and thus nearly signed the paper but then changed his mind.

"Hmmm... An artichle about a future possible cancellation of the treaty and how such a thing would be conducted would be beneficial aswell...""

Marius took his pen and drafted.

"VI: The endeavour described in this agreement can be nullified or changed when ever if both parties agree. If merely one party would like to cancell it they will have to alert the other party of its cancellation one year in advance of the nullification so no negative consueqenses will be inflicted upon the other party due to its abrupt ending."

Marius return the paper to Rurik waiting for his reaction.
