Unna 0 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Jarl Daniel, What is the population size of Humlebæk Island? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 For the size of the island, the population is small (but that has always been the case). Most of the population is centred in the main city bearing the island's name. Others live in farming villages just outside that city, and some in fishing or sheepherding villages around the coast. The island does not allow for a great population. Good soil for farming is scarce, for example, and, as history has shown, fishing grounds around the island have still not recovered. I am contemplating instituting a temporary moratorium on fishing, allowing the fishes of the island's seas to recover better. There has so far been no census here, but I would believe that the island houses some sixty-thousand people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unna 0 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Stormark Udally claims an Exclusive Economic Zone of 200 nautical miles. All the natural resources within the Exclusive Economic Zone belong by law to the Jarldom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I believe that Humlebaek is a special case, m'lady, as the royal goverment of Humlebaek negotiated away the 200 nm EEZ. Nevertheless, if we could make a teraty on behalf of Humlebaek's people with the neighbouring states, things would be very much fine,. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unna 0 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Or the Althing could by virtue of its Supreme Authority make statutory provision for the Exclusive Economic Zone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
High King Harald 0 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Statutory law can in many cases be better than Udal Law. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 That, too, would be a way of doing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
