Swedish Dominions
10-08-2004, 22:07
Background:
The Wast Penisula of Scandonia was first found in the late 14th century by a legion of Knights. They battled Barbarians until the final victory in the early 15th century. They split the penisula in 6 nations: Norrland, Svealand, Götaland, Lappland, Ingermanland, Uppland. They became enemies when they all demanded territory. The 50 year war erupted and after that they all went into isolation. They survived until the late 19th century when new conflicts erupted. In 1948 the Swedish Dominions was formed as a Union of Peace. But internal conflicts still plauges the nations. The SD has suffered from coup attempts, civil wars and other stuff. The Monarchy has been dissolved and now a President is the leader of this tormented nation.
