== Administration ==

Värmland County was formed in 1779, when it was separated from [[Närke and Värmland County]].

The main aim of the [[County Administrative Boards of Sweden|County Administrative Board]] is to fulfil the goals set in national politics by the [[Riksdag]] and the [[Government of Sweden|Government]], to coordinate the interests of the county, to promote the development of the county, to establish regional goals and safeguard the due process of law in the handling of each case. The County Administrative Board is a [[Government Agencies in Sweden|Government Agency]] headed by a Governor. See [[List of Värmland Governors]].

== Politics ==

The [[County Councils of Sweden|County Council]] of Värmland is called ''Region Värmland''.

== [[Riksdag]] elections ==
The table details all [[Riksdag]] election results of Värmland County since the unicameral era began in [[1970 Swedish general election|1970]]. The blocs denote which party would support the Prime Minister or the lead opposition party towards the end of the elected parliament.

==Climate==
Värmland being a landlocked county results in greater temperature differences than at the nearby west coast of Sweden and south coast of Norway. As a result, the southern areas of the county has a [[humid continental climate]] with strong [[oceanic climate|oceanic]] influences. The latter climate type is prevalent in a small area at the shores of Lake Vänern due to recent warming. More northerly areas see a [[subarctic climate]] with relatively mild winters for the climate type. The subarctic classification of areas such as [[Hagfors]] and [[Torsby]] is more due to the cool summer nights that renders September below {{convert|10|C|F}} in mean temperatures.

Kronoberg was formally granted its [[Coat of arms|arms]] in 1944. However, use of the arms was already an established practice. It is a variation of the arms of Småland.
Blazon: "In a field of gold on a green three tipped mountain, a red lion with blue armament stands upright, holding with both front paws a vertically aligned red crossbow with a black bow and arrow of silver."
