In English-language discourse the country usually presents itself as the Northern Commonwealth, although in informal discourse many simply call it Scandinavia. In the Greek- and Latin-speaking spheres, Υπερβορεία, or Hyperborea, is common.

The reason that I don't mention any significant anti-revolutionary opposition (although arguably the Isolationists count) is because since the Conservatives dissolved there has been broad consensus on a revolutionary society. Exactly what kind of revolutionary is up for fierce debate, but the political structure of the Northern Commonwealth is too open for the few people who held power in the pre-1848 order to have much of a political voice anymore in the face of staunch popular revolutionary sentiment. Because of the way the Northern Commonwealth was created, the concept of Northern nationhood would be quite closely tied to a rejection of monarchy and a revolutionary social order. The Isolationists would be where most of the former-aristocrats and industrial magnates dreaming of a return to the pre-1848 or pre-1873 order gather, and the somewhat less than 1/5 of the seats they hold in parliament reflects the level of influence they have in modern Northern politics.
Nationalism still exists and is still very popular, and you can find them spread across the Revolutionary and Isolationist factions of government. As for centralisation, one of the tenets of the Revolutionary movement would be the drive towards a stronger centralised government; I apologise if that wasn't obvious from the way I phrased it.
As for the rest, well, to elaborate a bit on the very brief summary I've given in my application, the primary struggle in the politics of the Northern Commonwealth at the moment would be between the Autonomist-Agrarian bloc, representing more religious, social-conservative, decentralised, anti-military, and rural perspectives, for whom the 'revolution' is a concept with more economic and political themes, and the Revolutionary-Futurist bloc, representing more state-atheist, progressive, centralised, pro-military, and urban perspectives, for whom the 'revolution' is a concept with more social and nationalistic overtones. The secularist and mildly anti-clerical bent of the government is the product of three decades of tug-of-war between the parties (or, rather, primarily between the religious Agrarians and the state-atheist Futurists; both the Autonomists and the Revolutionaries have no strong opinions on religion) and can change should there be a significant electoral shift. Certainly the current Autonomist-Agrarian coalition would be interested in repealing some of the anti-clerical legislation of the previous administration.
I've mentioned that there's a lot of land held in common in the rural areas, and that's mostly because the first wave of revolutionary movements in the early 19th Century in my history arose primarily as a response to and in opposition against the large scale privatisation of common land and the enclosure movements that happened in RL 1700s Europe. Subsequent governments in the late 19th Century would've also been interested in expanding the concept of property held in common. But this does not mean that the rural economy is collectivised. This is not a communist society. You should see the joint property of the Northern Commonwealth's countryside not as a parallel of the collectivised farms of 1930s Soviet Union, but rather as an egalitarian interpretation on the medieval concept of the commons and on the similarly medieval concept of tenant farmers. There would be a lot of free peasant farmers owning their own land still around; they just happen to be a minority in Norden Proper, unlike in the colonies where collectively owned land is rare and free farmers are more dominant.

I don't feel that giving any more details regarding Northern political history in the 1870-1880 period beyond what I've already written is going to be all that important in the broad view of things, but sure; if that's the requirement of the OP board then I'll find time to edit it in this weekend.Tracian Empire wrote:If you add the details you mentioned in your reply about your parties and movements in your app, then a lot of my worries would be somewhat eased.

That's because it wouldn't. The 1810 Revolution and the 1848 Revolution were both liberal revolutions; as I said in my application, modern socialism didn't become a significant political force until the 1850s, after the foundation of the Scandinavian Commonwealth. When I said that intellectual exchange between reformist tendencies in Scandinavian polytheism and enlightenment philosophy resulted in new schools of thought, I don't mean socialist schools of thought.
