![]() Kinsman News Network Reporting from Asgard Libea 21, 45Æ ![]() Elections are now underway for the newly created position of Chancellor, the executive of the Kinsman Federal government. Tensions are high and excitement is abound as the people get ready to vote for their own leader for the first time in Kinsman history. It is the responsibility of the people to choose someone with the willpower, personal strength, natural leadership, and drive to properly direct this country into a new era. Competition for the election is fierce, the candidates ranging from Chieftains to former Confederate officials to members of various religious organizations. Each one would bring a very unique and differentiated style of leadership and would alter the direction of the nation forever; the people have a difficult choice as they make their way to the polls. Hagarr Vanman Sjöberg, KNN Björn Nyrasman FriholmKnown for his forward-thinking, pro-democratic views. Negotiated the deal with Jogen that ultimately created the Kinsman Federation. His views are considered liberal in the Kindreds but is still very conservative by foreign standards. Politics: Social Nationalist Economy: Encourage expansion of Kinsmen businesses to the world market Military: Reduce spending but retain the traditional strong military Social: Seek to remove the taboo on inter-Kindred marriages Justice: Appoint judges with forward-thinking views Immigration: Allow full immigration to Friðreyland, allow visitation visas to the homeland Healthcare: Allow private options Education: Make Kinsman universities a benchmark for the world Religion: Freedom of belief Foreign Relations: Pro-Jogen, neutral Álfljótr Wodensman BergströmA leading member of the very conservative religious group Kyn, he is a fundamentalist Ásatruar and believes that the future of the Kindreds is salvageable only through the security and propagation of the Kinsman religion to ethnic Kinsmen around the world. Politics: Third-Position Economy: Create a model of economy based on tribal structure Military: Allow the enlistment of only Ásatruar Social: Ban inter-Kindred marriages outright Justice: Appoint only pious Ásatruar judges Immigration: Limit immigration to ethnic Kinsmen/Ásatruar Healthcare: Ban private options Education: Institute an Ásatru-centric curriculum Religion: Cease funding to all but Ásatruar institutions Foreign Relations: Isolationist Hergeirr Austrman FlesvigWas a leading advisor in the old Confederacy; seeks to not pay Irastan any reparations and believes in the reunification of the Kindreds with Suðrland. Mistrustful of Jogen and is very hostile towards Nentsians, it is said that he seeks vengeance for their actions in Irastan during the Vestrland Annexation. Politics: Far-Right Economy: Desires to remake the old concept of Autarky and self-sufficiency Military: Encourage enlistment for border protection Social: Support a "one-nation" campaign for all Kinsmen Justice: Appoint judges friendly to the old Confederacy Immigration: Close all borders to all immigration except for ex-pat Kinsmen Healthcare: Allow private options Education: Make cadet membership mandatory in all schools Religion: Freedom of belief, cut funding to all religious organizations Foreign Relations: Anti-Nentsian, desires reunification with Suðrland Skarpheðinn Nordman Brodersen Was the equivalent of a General in the old Confederate military, however was forced to retire early due to his speaking out against many of the Grand Chieftain's actions during the annexations of Austrland and Vestrland. He wants nothing more than for the Kindreds to be seen as a land of peace rather than a war machine. Politics: Meritocratic Economy: Subsidize Kinsman goods for foreign trade and purchase Military: Reduce funding and size Social: Remit policies supporting caste-like predetermination for different Kindreds Justice: Appoint judges whom are freethinking Immigration: Encourage immigration for ethnic Kinsmen Healthcare: Allow private options Education: Reduce class sizes, reduce tuition costs Religion: Freedom of belief, reduce funding to institutions Foreign Relations: Pro-Jogen, pro-peaceful nations Nefjólfr Ostarasman LarsenA very wealthy businessman with a majority share of the arms manufacturing industry, he seeks to establish the Kindreds as a new world benchmark for exporting, manufacturing, and trade. Wants to lift restrictions on businesses and encourage economic growth as much as possible. Politics: Libertarian Nationalist Economy: Create a strong national economy and subsidize exports Military: Heavily reduce spending and size Social: Remove some policies regarding marriage, i.e. don't need parents' permission Justice: Reduce size of police force Immigration: Encourage immigration to Friðreyland, visitation to the homeland Healthcare: Dissolve government option, subsidize private options Education: Privatize all education Religion: Freedom of belief, reduce funding to all institutions Foreign Relations: Neutral, pro-trading partners Edited by Freeman, 26 Aug 2010, 06:19 AM.

![]() Kinsman News Network Reporting from Hilmir Fatahar 19, 46Æ With Slim Majority, Friholm Elected Chancellor ![]() The nation's first elected Head of State has just been announced: with a slim majority, Björn Nyrasman Friholm has been voted in as the Kinsman Federation's first Chancellor! He is pictured above celebrating with his long-time friend Nefjólfr Ostarasman Larsen, who had dropped out of the race mid-campaign in order to support Friholm. The new Chancellor made his acceptance speech today in Hilmir, with excerpts below: "I am glad that my folk have chosen rightly with my being elected, I will only ever do the best I am capable of for the betterment of our Kin and our country. I thank the Chieftains for their support, and to my friend Nefjólfr for all the help he provided in my campaign. To my supporters and competitors alike: do not expect a gravitational flip or paradigm shift in your lives, I am not here to invoke groundbreaking change, merely to serve to the best interests of my Kinsmen and our country. I do not seek to open the floodgates to foreign immigration, I do not seek to weaken our military, I do not seek to rid our people of the very traditions and beliefs that make us who we are, I only seek to enact minor alterations to our policy in these matters so that we may shift our focus away from a past riddled with dark spots and to a bright, new future of plenty and of betterment to our Kin. Some changes will seem odd, others trivial, but every action I will take will solely be for the benefit of my people and our country." Official results are below: ![]() Candidate - Votes Björn Nyrasman Friholm - 52.5% Skarpheðinn Nordman Brodersen - 21.5% Álfljótr Wodensman Bergström - 16.5% Hergeirr Austrman Flesvig - 7.3% Abstain - 2.2% Hagarr Vanman Sjöberg, KNN Edited by Freeman, 2 Sep 2010, 08:21 PM.
