Government Info
Government Type: Prussian Constitutionalism
Brief Explanation of Government: Although Scandinavia has a Parliament that operates as the prime legislative organ of the nation, the King retains a large amount of power as the executive branch (think of a President without the part of being elected). Scandinavia is divided into 21 administrative regions, each of which elects an amount of representatives to the Parliament that is proportional to the amount of citizens in the region. These representatives are elected by a universal, although weighted, vote, in which the vote of the higher strata counts as two or even three of the votes of the lowest social class. From among the representatives, a Chancellor is elected.
Ideology: Scandinavism, Monarchism, Conservatism, Interventionism (Economics), Political Catholicism
Leader/s: King Rikard II of House Kalstedt (HoS), Chancellor Per Karl Zetterberg (HoG)

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The people of the Nordic Realm are known to be intelligent, literate, and hardy. The middle class is the largest strata in terms of numbers, although the lower class is not far behind. The high class is characterized for being much more austere than elsewhere in Europe, although they would happily build palace after palace in the picturesque city of Stockholm. The lower classes are mostly farmers or people to the far North, who usually work in mines or in the timber business. The culture of the Scandinavians is similar to OTL, with the greatest difference being the incomplete spread of Protestantism in the nation, with the religion only being dominant in very select areas.

Ethnicity: Nordic
Main/Accepted Culture(s): Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian
Other Cultures: Icelandic, Sami, Faroese, Greenlandic

Military Info
Army:
-- Royal Army (Swedish: Kungliga Armén): A standing infantry army of around 40.000 men that operates in Scandinavia. Formed mainly out of volunteer soldiers, although some are conscripted. They receive substantial training and are given modern weapons, mostly rifles and hand-grenades, although some are members of machine-gun squads that operate an automatic weapon in combat.
-- Royal Foot Guard (Swedish: Kungliga Fotsvakt): A professional guard of around 7.000 men. Tasked with the protection of the King and Stockholm.
Navy: The Hemmaflottan consists of three cruisers, four corvettes, three destroyers, and a larger amount of varied minor craft. Most of the time, it is at port in Gothenburg. The first Battleship of the Swedish Navy is under construction in Gothenburg.
Air force: The Kungligt Flygvapen is a newborn institution in the Nordic Realm and has little to boast but a few dozen planes purchased from the Germans. The Air Force has but 61 pilots spread in 2 squadrons. Although its potential uses are still hotly debated, the Flygvapen has since its foundation a year ago enjoyed considerable patronage from the King.
Espionage:
-- Royal Intelligence Agency (Swedish: Kunglig Underrättelsetjänsten) - tasked with espionage on other nations in order to protect the Nordic Realm, particularly from the USSR.

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Scandinavia did not began to industrialize until a few years after Britain and the other European powers. However, industry flourished in Scandinavia because most of the materials required for it were readily available in the Realm (e.g., Timber, Coal, Iron). Mining is widespread in the north, while farming is more in the South. Although these aren't the most prosperous of times for Scandinavia, the budget is still in the green despite considerable expense in building railroads, increasing the efficiency of the administration, and the budget of the armed forces.

Goals:
-- To keep Scandinavia united under a common Nordic banner.
-- To seek alliances with other European powers in order to secure the independence of the Nordic Realm.
-- To not be included in the Soviet Union.

History: Within the Personal Union of Denmark-Norway, Norway was granted the status of a Kingdom in the year 1679. This proved to be a wrong move in order to quell the rising political instability in Norway. This culminated in Norway's second fight for independence against the Danes, starting in 1691. Sweden intervened in the war in favor of Norway. Independence was won from the Danes in 1698 with the Treaty of Odense. King Haakon V, wishing to cement his position as a rightful monarch, sought to marry Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden, which Charles XI granted just prior to his death. The crown of Sweden passed to the young Charles XII in 1701, who soon found himself embroiled in the Great Northern War against Denmark, Russia, and many other European powers. Sweden, however, defeated all her enemies decisively before 1710 until only Russia was left as her enemy.

Charles XII died during the siege of Moscow in 1717, after which the Swedes took to the defensive. However, the crown was left vacant. Ulrika Eleonora claimed the crown as the rightful heir apparent of Charles XII, who died childless. She, however, passed the crown of Sweden to her husband, Haakon V, who became King of Norway and Sweden and so united both realms in yet another personal union. Haakon V/I then moved his court to Stockholm, where the merger of both realms was signed by the Treaty of Stockholm. Meanwhile, the Russians were again on the offensive. Russian armies invaded the Baltic provinces of Ingria, Latvia, and Estonia in massed numbers, overwhelming the garrisons of the provinces. The Great Northern War culminated in the year 1725 when the tired Scandinavian people signed peace with Russia in the Treaty of Ingria, which forced Sweden-Norway to cede the already-occupied Baltic provinces.

Following the collapse of the Swedish Empire, Sweden-Norway took to being a 'vassal' of the greater European Powers, remaining neutral in many of their conflicts. In fact, the Great Northern War was the last time conflict actually took place within Scandinavian territory. King Charles XIII rose to the throne in the year 1732, and he took a different mindset. He began securing trade and non-aggression agreements with many of the European powers, and he took the helm of the country and steered it in a strange way. Under his direction, a large part of the usual spending went instead to build monuments and parks in Stockholm, as well as the building of minor infrastructure throughout the vast land of Sweden-Norway.

Charles XV rose to the throne in 1836. A known Romantic, Charles dreamed of the union of the Scandinavian people into a single, Nordic Realm. Sweden-Norway had a single nation under its sphere of influence, and that was Denmark. Charles visited Copenhagen to propose the merger of the Nordic realm to the Danish King, Christian IX, who was half-convinced, half-forced to accept Charles's offer. Charles's son and Christian's daughter married and formed a new house to govern the Scandinavian people, House Kalstedt. When their first first son, Robert I of Kalstedt, came of age, he was crowned the first monarch of a newly-unified Scandinavia. The year was 1865.

Robert faced many challenges. Omg is someone actually reading this? <3 Anyways, his father had done a mediocre job in industrializing the nation by taking a Laissez-faire approach to starting industry. Robert threw that out of the window and installed State Capitalism instead. He immediately began the construction of factories and railroads throughout the nation in order to give work for the hundreds of unemployed in Scandinavia. Robert's first son, Robert II, died a few years after birth, and so the crown passed to Rikard I, his second son. Under Rikard's leadership, the policies of State Capitalism were rescinded in favor of a more moderate Interventionist policy in regards to the economy. Rikard I abdicated the throne in favor of Rikard II in 1911, believing himself to be too old for the task.

Brief Description of your people:The People of Nouvelle France are very French in culture, faith and so on. Ever since the successful rebellion of 1775 (The Nouvelle Francais Rebellion) the peoples of the nation have stuck to their French roots in cuisine, religion and so forth. The Republican Ideals of the nation however, have changed traditions slightly here and there. Though the official language is "French" there are two slight variations to the mother tongue spoken in La France. The first is Quebecois, spoken in all the regions of "Canada Francais" the second is Mississippi French, spoken in French Louisiana. However, for diplomacy and other official business the proper French tongue must be used. With the arrival of other nationalities to the nation; big cities like Quebec, Montreal, New Orleans and St Louis are experiencing a merge of culture. Traditional dishes are being given new taste and flavour with the culinary expertise and mannerisms from the other nations are seeing some light as well. In the rural areas however, not much has changed. Jazz music, as made popular by the Jazz Age, is gaining a foothold as well.

The navy is well funded and her sailors are well trained. Whilst it cannot match to the sheer power and determination of the British navy, she is quite formidable in her own right. The navy generally monitors the Gulf of Mexico and the Arctic Seas. Not sure on numbers. Help, porfa, someone.

Air force: A relatively small airforce, containing 450 Aircraft of Fighter Plane classification and 150 Bombers. The Government seeks to expand upon this. Not sure on numbers. Help, porfa, someone.

Espionage: Mentlegen L'Institution de L'Espionnage, or "LILE". Members of LILE are highly trained operatives. Each speaks a good amount of languages and undergo extensive times living in other nations to drop their "French" accent. However, LILE members are strictly a no-killing organisation if it can be avoided and prefer to eliminate their targets by bribing them or ex-filtrating them elsewhere.

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: La Republique is heavily industrialised in the major cities of Quebec, Montreal, Detroit, St Louis, New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Checagou (Chicago). Across her territories her factories are powered by coal galore. The North of the Country is generally economically powered by the timber, ship building, fur and fishing industries whilst the "Louisiane" area grows a large amount of crops, as it still is quite heavily rural, for both consumption at home and abroad alongside cash crops like tobacco, indigo, cotton etc. Mining is also incredibly important further West of the country. The economy is Capitalistic in Nature.
Goals: Expand further into Canada, reconcile with France.

History:

Nouvelle France officially began her life in the year 1601. The First French Explorers, led by Samuel de Champlain settled here and hoped the city would mark the beginnings of the French Colonial Empire. Soon, in 1603, two French Explorers (Louie et Clarké ) ventured south from the St Lawrence River and ended up in modern day Michigan. When they returned to Quebec with the news, letters were dispatched to France and more towns were founded on the American Continent. Three years later, both explorers sailed around Labrador/Quebec and found the Hudson bay. Once again the same happened, and once they returned to Quebec letters and missives were dispatched to France. By 1610, a "thriving" (As much as one can thrive in 1600s Canada) French Colony, named "Nouvelle France" had began encompassing modern day Quebec, Labrador and Ontario. With this thriving community, France continued to steadily dispatch colonists to increase her profits in the fur industry.

In 1654, French Colonist Henri Giroud landed in what is now New Orleans. This colonial endeavour brought with it the claiming of the land known has "Louisiane" by 1667. By then, French Jesuits and Colonists had flooded to the land as they built towns upon the Mississippi; like St Louis and eventually the borders were redrawn and "Louisiane" became a district under "Nouvelle France"

In the year 1770, after the French had successfully defeated the British in the "Seven Years War", the colonists of Nouvelle France became weary under the increasingly forced taxations of "Protection" from the French Crown. The voice of the People came in the form of Colonial Governor Pierre de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnial, a Canadian born man whom wanted to see France right the wrongs it had done to his people. His pleas fell on deaf ears. In 1771, he and several other important figures of the Nouvelle France Independence Movement signed the Constitution of Nouvelle France (Which banned slavery) and declared that their nation was in a state of war against the French Empire. With little support on the main land, the French Colonists resorted to allying themselves with the natives in the territory and peppered the French War Machine in guerrillas tactics. A rather horrible underestimate of the spirit of the Nouvelle Francais, led to the capture of Quebec and Montreal in the Winter of 73, before Orelans fell in South in 74. With the loyalists switching sides and the vast expanse of land being turned against her, France and her now independent colony signed a peace agreement, with France acknowledging Nouvelle France's independence. In honour of his achievements, Pierre de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnial became the first President of Nouvelle France in 1776 and remained so until his death 6 years later in 1782.

With the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte in France, the people of Nouvelle France saw a rebirth of a nation. No longer was she ruled by terror hungering monarchs, but a noble Republic indeed. Diplomats were sent and a loose friendship was formed with timber from the vast Canadian expanses being used to construct Bonaparte new fleets. Even when he proclaimed himself Emperor, he acted with good intentions and liberty for all.

With a new found friendship that only strengthened over time, Nouvelle France began to gain a foothold in outside politics with the world. In 1843 diplomats were sent across Europe and to the East. Trade galore ensued and with such a mighty economy the nation was named "La Terre D'Opportunité" and a good amount of immigrants from Germany, Italy, Ireland and Poland travelled across the Atlantic in hopes of starting a new life, to leave their footprint upon the planet. In 1850 the "Quebec Orleans Railway" was opened and it allowed easy access to travel to the two most important cities of the Republic with ease. "5 Days!" they'd say, "5 Days is all it will take!" These were foundations upon the opportunistic mind of a noble people. Soon, before the dawn of the next decade were the countries many cities and towns united by a large railroad system that spanned the nation. It brought people closer and made travel much more affordable.

In 1876 the Health Care act was passed and the cleaning up of many great cities was done, regulations upon industry came next and vaccinations became absolutely mandatory for everyone. In 1901 the "Equality Act" was passed and all beings over 18, no matter ethnicity, religion or gender were given permission to vote for the first time in the nations history. Now, as the century goes forward and new technologies come forth the future can only be bright for the people of Nouvelle France.
