This sentiment was not shared by the Swedes, who often traded with these various duchies. Eric of Pomerania continuously incited conflicts against Schleswig, Holstein, Mecklenburg, and even against various Pomeranian Principalities in his attempt to unite all these lands, along with a future attempt of incorporating of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth into a vast Northern Empire. Such successes however would not be shared by her immediate successors however. Thus she became known as the Mother of Scandinavia, beloved by her people. The Legacy of the Nordic Crowns stem from the personal union of Margaret, Queen and Regent of Denmark and through her son Olaf (who passed in 1387) and victory over the Swedish Magnates, ruler of Norway and Sweden. Their literacy rate is well off, almost on par with a nation like Burgundy, and they should have no trouble with researching tech. It has a good number of coal and iron RGO's, and a good number of factories and workers to fund that. In terms of RGOs, Scandinavia has a decent amount of them. The animosity between the former colony of Vinland has died down a lot now too, and both nations can get along with each other on good enough terms now. In addition to the home territory, Scandinavia also has many colonial holdings, that can be further expanded, such as in South East Asia, Southern Asia, or the Caribbean. Scandinavia will have to keep the powers of Muscovy, Novgorod, The Commonwealth and any country that wishes to unify all German states, as all 4 could threaten the integrity of Scandinavia's sphere of influence, or Scandinavia's territory as a whole. Additionally, it has a few puppet states, namely Oldenburg, which is the same dynasty as Scandinavia and Pskov, a Scandinavian puppet that has access to the Baltic sea.Īdditionally to this, Scandinavia starts out with Courland, Lithuania, Sindh and Novgorod in its sphere, along with the two puppet states they already have. This gives it a population of 5.30 million to boast. Scandinavia overall has a lot of land to its name, even if you discount its colonial holdings in South East Asia and the Caribbean, it holds not only all of Scandinavia, but Finland, Scotland, Estonia and a large portion of Livonia. If Scandinavia can prove its worth against any power that tries to unify the German lands, and against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, it can easily become the dominant power in Europe. Additionally, another roadblock and rival it has to total Baltic domination is the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Both Burgundy and Scandinavia are united in their effort to stop German unification in any way that they can, after the Great German War. To its southernmost borders of Pomerania, it borders its rival, Bohemia. Its wings are large and sprawling, its colonies now litter the planet, its industry ready to grow even larger, and its desire for total Baltic domination has slowly increased, now leaving Scandinavia ready to dominate Europe! Scandinavia (also known as the Kalmar Union) is a country that has slowly assimilated all Nordic people into one united culture, along with one united people.
