[The V O I D]

Formal Nation Name: The United Kingdom of Scandinavia (Danish: Det Skandinaviske Realm (Scandinavian Realm); Swedish: Förenade Kungariket of Scandinavia ; Finnish: Yhdistynyt Kuningaskunta Skandinavian)
Informal Nation Name: Scandinavia
Native Nation Name: See various translations above - also, Scandinavian flag.
Population: Approx. 10-12 million (home regions); Approx. 20 million+ overseas/colonies.
Capital City: København.
Two Other Important Cities: Stockholm (Sweden), Oslo (Norway).
Continent: Europe.
Claims: Here; the grey-blue thing that owns Scandinavia and co.
Colonies: See the map; Sydafrika (South Africa), Angolanske Koloniens (Angolan Colony), Namibia Koloniens (Namibian Colony) Grønland (Greenland), Nyt Fundet Jord (New Found Land; Newfoundland), Australien (Australia). African colonies are governed by Den Afrikanske Koloniale Myndighed (The African Colonial Authority) due to large size and the fact they are connected directly on land mass. Australien and Grønland are governed by Denmark as Danish colonies.

Type of Government: Semi-constitutional federal monarchy: the Kejser (Emperor), also known as the Kongen af Konger (King of Kings) and the Herre over Skandinaviens (Lord of Scandinavia), is the ruler of Scandinavia at large and holds supreme executive authority; the Emperor rules the Realm at large. Then, the Kings (sometimes called 'Lords') are under him as rulers and governors for Sweden, Norway and Denmark; these Kings form up the af Imperial Råd (Imperial Council). The Imperial Council are advisers and advise the Emperor on matters concerning each member of Scandinavia, as well as ruling on his behalf. Only Finland has an elected member to the Imperial Council, known as the Præsident (President). This is because Finland has a republican system of government under the Scandinavian banner. The Imperial Council and Emperor form up the executive branch.

The af Imperial Parlamentets (Imperial Parliament) is the legislative branch of the government overall, with sub-parliaments or legislative governments for each member state. The Imperial Parliament hosts the Senatet (Senate) and the Overhuset (House of Lords). Lords in the House of Lords are usually selected by the Royal Families of Scandinavia, formed up by the three families of the monarchs of each member state (but the monarchs of each member state are excluded as they are on the Imperial Council). Finland, again, is the only member state that elects members into the House, referred to as Repræsentanter (Representatives). The Imperial Parliament can pass legislation and such for Scandinavia, but all legislation must pass through the seat of the Emperor and his Imperial Council for final approval. The Emperor has final say on if a law is passed or vetoed (though the Imperial Parliament can override him with a supermajority vote in Senate) and has supreme authority over the military.

Finally, the Højesteretten (Supreme Court) are formed up of eleven Justices that determine whether laws for individual memberstates or for all of Scandinavia are constitutional or not. Five Justices are appointed by each member of the Imperial Council that are agreed upon, the Emperor selecting another five; the final Justice must be someone selected by the House of Lords in a majority vote.

Economic Strength 1-10: 9/10
Political Stability 1-10: 6/10 in some areas due to them being recent acquisitions (the populations have yet to realize how awesome the Sikh are), but 7/10 to 8/10 in primary holdings
Current Government's Support 1-10: 8/10 in most areas

Active Soldiers: 800,000 Fauj-i-Ain (Regulars) (trained for 7.5 to 15 months, depending on the level of peace), 225,000 Fauj-i-Khas (Elites) (made up of incredibly experienced and seasoned soldiers) (note that this all adds up to less than 1% of the population being active soldiers, about 490,650 less even if you count the reserve soldiers, actually), with the police officers not being counted because they don’t play a huge role in defense
Reserve Soldiers: 400,000 Faj-i-Be Qawaid (irregulars; essentially a pre-trained ‘instant draft’ that regularly brushes up on their skills, but normally requires a short, but still 3 month long set of training sessions to be brought up to snuff, which means that it is imperative they are called upon at the right time so that these 3 months can pass)
Number of Navalcraft: 387 Deep Water Vessels; well over 1,000 thousand riverine and littoral combat vessels (the riverine combat vessels are operating throughout the motherland, the colonies, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, Persia, and several other vassal states; the littoral combat vessels are operating throughout the Sikh Empire, and close to their islands, Madagascar, their colonies as well as in the waters of Persia)

• As many support ships as reasonably needed (not mentioned in the numbers)
• 45 Submarines
• 80 Corvettes
• 73 Frigates
• 65 Destroyers
• 45 Cruisers
• 28 Heavy Cruisers
• 20 Battlecruisers
• 14 Light Carriers
• 12 Battleships
• 6 Carriers

Number of Aircraft: About 1,020 of the aircraft are used for transport of individuals and goods, making up part of the state’s efforts to create such a fleet of aircraft; the rest of the aircraft of the utility/transport type are from private, or state-owned forces that aren’t officially part of the military, even though they may fulfill some of the same roles. The large number of 625 left exists in part due to the large size of the military and the funding that they have in the first place, most of them being decent biplanes, some made for ground attack, some made to be fighters, others being reconnaissance or night fighters, with one being a multi-role carrier-based aircraft. There exist 18 rigid military airships that fly high,and each carry about 6 multi-role parasite fighters with enough fuel and strong enough engines to return to their motherships after initial attack, these fighters being armed with twin synchronized 12.7mm heavy machine guns, or being equipped with 6 rockets or a 350kg bomb instead (they can’t carry as much as the usual plane used in the Sikh Empire), though they can have armament lowered so they can better fulfill reconnaissance roles. The parasite fighters are the most sophisticated ever operated by the Sikh Khalsa Navy, having recently been sent out, and possibly the most advanced fighters in the world at the moment. Unfortunately, these parasite fighters have technology far too expensive and too complicated to be used en masse in standard combat craft. Another unfortunate flaw is that the parasite fighters don't have as much fuel as the navy would like, and thus can only operate for 13 minutes before having to return to the mothership. A lot of tricks were used to achieve that operation time. The price of the parasite fighters means that they have been kept in small numbers, and will likely only be produced as needed. Due to the price, the navy is contemplating abandoning the program, unless the motherships and their parasite fighters improve themselves, which isn't likely. A fleet of airships used in now-established airship routes was formed in 1919, and is supposed to be updated soon. This unarmed fleet is part of the 1,020 transport, messenger, and utility craft operated by the Sikh Empire in tandem with a larger private fleet. The unarmed fleet has a much longer range than their aeroplanes, but exist in a much smaller number. They are extremely large, and considered a valuable asset. Despite being unarmed with offensive weapons, the 1,020 aeroplanes and the 325 strong fleet of airships do possess defensive weapons. Let's hope that they can survive a conflict.
Military Strength 1-10: 9/10 (for decades, they’ve funneled a lot of money and time into a military that even in the beginning stages of the nation was considered to be world-class. Thankfully for most of their neighbors, they are relatively friendly, and really only conquer in response to threats, being invaded themselves, or incorporation of satellite states over time. Then you know what they do? They’re nice to the population of newly conquered territory, though they aren’t afraid to be firm or even use violence if necessary, as showed when they wrecked the Afghans, and, in this timeline, the Persians, before conquering both.)
