'''Jokullheim''' (/ˈjoʊkəlhaɪm/; Trefjalli: ''Jökullheim'', /ˈjœːcʏtl̥heiːm/; Kanadiaans: ''Jökullheim'', /ˈjœːkʊlhaɪm/), officially the '''Chiefdom of Jokullheim''' (Trefjalli: ''Höfðingjasetur Jökullheims''), is a country in northern [[Great Kaltachia]]. It is populated by around 500 thousand Jokullheimers, who claim descent from Trefjalli and Kanadiaans-speaking tribes. Jokullheim is bordered on all side by the ocean and stateless territory but has rail connections to [[Varskhomir]] and [[Candanadium]]. It has a largely arctic and sub-arctic climate, and as a result is subject to extreme weather such as blizzards and ice rain. Jokullheim is an elective absolute monarchy, the last of its kind in the world, where the [[Oberjarl of Jokullheim|Oberjarl]] is elected by the [[Council of the Chiefs of Jokullheim|Council of the Chiefs]]. Jokullheim is a founding member of the [[Kaltach Union]] and has extremely close political and economic ties to its fellow KU members, especially Candanadium, with which it was in personal union between 1864 to 1891.

Jokullheim is the least-populated and least-developed state in the Kaltach Union. Its continued practice of challenge by combat, where any Jokullheimer may lay down a formal challenge for the title of Oberjarl or Chief through combat with the incumbent, has been criticized for failing to meet the Kaltach standard for democracy.

=Etymology=
The Trefjalli name ''Jökullheim'' means literally "land of glaciers".
=History=
=== Pre-History ===
Little is known about the prehistoric people of what would become Jökullheim. The few artifacts they left behind indicate they were nomadic hunter-gatherers, and they went extinct by the 3rd century BCE.
=== The Founding ===
The earliest records of Jökullheim indicate that the Proto-Jökullheime left the Isle of Kaltach around the time of [[Candanadium|King Whilhelmus Von Magnare]] of the Kanadiaans, being separated from his fleet by a great storm. Arriving at their landing site and founding Førstehavn in 1107. Over the years, they would adapt to the frigid lands they now called home.
