Wermelandia has more or less the same boundaries as Värmland County.
Värmland County was formed in 1779, when it was separated from Närke and Värmland County.
The main aim of the County Administrative Board is to fullfil the goals set in national politics by the Parliament and the 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 nominally a Government Agency headed by a Governor. See List of Värmland Governors.
The County Council of Värmland is called Landstinget i Värmland.
Värmland County inherited its coat of arms from the province of Wermelandia. When it is shown with a royal crown it represents the County Administrative Board. Blazon: "Argent, an Eagle displayed Azure beaked, langued and membered Gules." Province
