The Realm of Balder is delighted to announce the conclusion of the October 2018 Storting elections and the formation of the Government for the coming term.

Following a competitive race, incumbent legislators OnderKelkia, Linkin Talleyrand and Akillian Talleyrand were re-elected to new terms with a strong show of public support. They are joined in the Storting by Aexnidaral Seymour and Zander Cerebella, who return to the legislature after a break in service covering the previous term.

The newly convened Storting unanimously nominated OnderKelkia for the office of Statsminister. Her Nordic Majesty the Queen was accordingly pleased to re-appoint OnderKelkia as Statsminister. The Storting also unanimously elected Linkin Talleyrand as Lawspeaker.

Minister of Foreign Affairs – Zander Cerebella
