Figure of A King
King Harold IV is the fourth of a line of 4 Harold-named Kings. The very first King of Northern Veratlantia was named Harold I. He is highly regarded around the Federation for stopping the conflicts between Republicans and Monarchists in Northern Veratlantia by having a friendly and comprehensive approach to the concerns of the House of the Republic and by supporting projects from both sides. He takes active role in the government of the nation, which is a right but not an obligation of the King. King Harold is very popular domestically and pretty much in the whole of the Veratlantic Archipelago, except perhaps for the Veratlantian Republic. The King conducted a series of reforms and adopted a sound, hardworking attitude, pre determined to prove himself a useful "tool for the Atlantean society". Having described his role as "the defender of our people's interest in face of its own government", King Harold is also famous for being accessible and easy-going. He often visits hospitals and schools in order to put pressure on the Republic Government administration, for example. The King has also declared his support for the armed forces and law-enforcement. As a naval engineer, King Harold has designed himself several of the Royal Navy's ships, and was project-chief of the Atlantic Federations' 2nd Aircraft Carrier VFFS Azure.

Harold IV, has promoted several social campaigns in favour of human rights, but specially womens rights. His oldest daughter Princess Melissa is to be the Queen after him.

King Harold in Atlantean Politics
King Harold IV is very active in the Atlantean (Northern Veratlantian) politics and government. He has shown some liberal tendencies when it comes to the economy, but admits a free public healthcare system as well as partially a public funded education system being fundamental. We often goes to radio stations and talk about his plans on air, nationally. He is also a strong advocate of workers rights, and put pressure for the raising of the minimal wage 3 times during his reign. Surprisingly, King Harold IV manages to have close relations with the president-of-the-republic, and in the recent years is being seen as the teacher, or tutor of presidents, having many of them resorting to the King for advice. He is often seen with presidents and the republican body of government, portraying a bold straight forwards attitude towards his opponents, often debating on national press whatever goes on inside the government. He has been described by journalists as the people's spy infiltrated in parliament.
