I had to ask, to be sure.

I'm not against a native American tribal nation sort of, but you will have to explain its history and how it was created very well.

Full Nation Name : The Kingdom of the Scandinavia
Majority/Official Culture :Majority: Swede, Norwegian, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian.
Minority: Danish, German, Russian, Sami.
Territorial Core : Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the Baltic's.
Territorial Claim : The Kola Peninsula, Denmark, and Prussia.
Capital City : Stockholm.
Population : 7,410,200

Government Type : Constitutional Monarchy
Government Ideology/Policies : Militant, Nationalist
Government Focus : The focus is solely on the military, however there is mass improvements taking place in the rural areas, focusing on Infrastructure and better farming practices.
Head of State : Emperor Oscar I
Head of Government : Emperor Oscar I (as head of the Regeringen Innehavare av de Skandinaviska Områdena or
The Government Holder of the Scandinavian Area)
Government Description : The Government is a bicameral congress known as Stora rådet i Skandinavien, or Grand Council of Scandinavia. The two houses are known as the Upper Council, consisting of 5 elected people (out of 20, said five are chosen by the king) from each territory, the baltics overall counting as one, therefore equaling 15 seats. They act as the Senate, if compared to the US Government. The Lower Council consists of 25 people from each territory, which 100 Seats, as the Baltic's count as one. They act as the House of Representatives, if compared to the US Government.

Majority/State Religion : Lutheran
Religious Description : The State of Scandinavia endorses Christianity, specifically Lutheranism. All Christianity is allowed, though the government seems to favor (other than Lutheranism) Orthodoxy, pleasing those in the Baltic's.

Economic Ideologies : Capitalism
Major Production : Iron (and other metals), Wood, Rye, and furs.
Economic Description : The Government focuses on subsidizing small businesses, specifically hunting and lumber ones, in order to export them. Iron and produced from the Mountains and other areas are mostly sold and used within the nation, however they do get exported.

Army Strength : Ski Troops, Riflemen, and reformations brought forward by John-Baptiste making the Scandinavian Army very capable.
Army Weakness : Lack of Manpower results in a relatively small but professional Army. Also, though the men are used the cold, or immune to the attrition it presents (for the most part), it does slow them down, and prevents them from effectively mobilizing during the winter months, IF in the homeland.
Naval Strength : Plenty of Timber and Iron, allowing plenty of ships to be made.
Naval Weakness : Lack for Manpower results in a limitation of ships, however there are still plenty of ships. The Scandinavian Navy isn't the best, and the Danish Naval history and accomplishments beat that of the Scandinavian ones.
Further Military Description : Riflemen, or Jagers, are elite units, other than the Life Guard Grenadiers, who work with all units of the military, from Cavalry, to the Marines of the Navy. Jager Uniform. The Life Guard Grenadiers were formed out of the old Life Guards of Sweden, incorporating Norwegian and Finnish Jagers and ski troops. They are the elite of the elite, and contest many units. Life Guard Infantry Uniforms. The Foreign Legion is a specialty regiment who shares a good amount of prestige for fighting Livonian Rebels in 1832. Only 8,000 men, they are basically Polish and German Mercenaries who are paid and after 10 years of service, given a house, a few acres of land, and citizenship for him and his immediate family. Legionarry Infantry Uniforms. The basic Infantry are raised much like the canton system of Prussia, and nothing really special.

National Goals : To achieve unity and take all of rightful Scandinavian land. Also, to achieve a healthy alliance with the western nations based in Spain, France, and the British Isles.
National Issues : Infrastructure is a issue, as the winter slows the men down enough, the roads do not help. As well, Denmark being a free nation is a hotspot for Norwegian Nationalists to complain about.
National Figures of Interest : Historical Swedish leaders, such as Gustaf Adolf. John-Baptiste is considered as one of the best leaders in Swedish history due to the formation of Scandinavia, and the Norwegians and Finns admire him.
National Ambition/Aspirations :Unifying Scandinavia and entering isolation, though keeping a good colonial front in Africa.

I was pretty sure that I told him to check his history with yours...

Well, my bad. I was probably too sleepy to have realized.

Yeah, your history is more important, he has to fix his history after yours.

Basically, he just needs to fix city names, realize Ruthenia never held the Baltic, and not claim the Kola Peninsula.

Well, he can claim it I think, if he wants to have it in the future.

But you should tell him what to fix, yes.

Imagine what loading Greek Fire into a musket would do. Or, better yet, a Greek Fire pellet like the old Byzantine grenades.
