Norway

Norway, Norwegian: Norge, officially the Greater Norwegian Empire, is a unitary sovereign state in Northern Europe whose core territory comprises the entirety of the Western half of the Scandinavian peninsula, the islands of Iceland, Greenland, Shetland, Orkney, Man, and Jan Mayen, as well as the archipelagos of Faroe Islands and Svalbard are also part of the Greater Norwegian Empire. The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the Kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land.

Norway is led by the "Fører" Vidkun Quisling, who in 1925 took power in a violent coup that overthrew the King's emergency rule and established a Fascist government in its place. Quisling reorganised the political system in Norway by banning all other political parties than his own, following up by introducing an industrial parliament that would handle all matter of industry. The streets are now governed by a political police-force known as the Hird ensuring political stability and loyalty of the citizenry toward the state.

History
When the Spanish Flu, Great Depression, and the many hundred stock crashes were destroying Europe, Norway maintained some semblance of unity. The parliament called for emergency powers for the King, and he tried with all his might to turn around the Norwegian Depression, but to no avail.

Following this, the Socialist Front and Vidkun Quisling's Nationalists did battle in the streets over control of Oslo, and the Kingdom.

Quisling won out, and communists nation-wide were purged and murdered. The streets of Oslo ran red with the blood of the proletariat, and in doing so, Quisling secured his Fascist state.

The Norwegians were still bickering and disunited, and so to drive the people to unity, an alliance was made with the Danish Republic, against the Kingdom of Sweden.

On August 1st, 1928, the offensive began, the Swedish army, crippled by the Depression, fell quickly to the Danish Red Marines. A naval landing in Gotland followed, but was repulsed quickly. With the front in Scania stablizing, the Norwegians attacked. Using rapid assault tactics, they quickly occupied Jamtland and almost reached Stockholm before a treaty was signed on Christmas Day dubbed "The Christmas Humiliation"

Sweden was humiliated, and Quisling had the Norwegian unity he desired.

His next step, crush the lesser peoples of Denmark, and re-establish Norway as a player on the world stage.
