. "Nordland was originally settled by Inuit peoples from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago as far back as 4500 years ago. In 982, Erik the Red is believed to have been the first European to discover and explore Nordland, naming it Greenland and settling it in 985. While the settlement flourished, an epidemic brought by Icelandic settlers ravaged the colony in 1002, essentially weakening forever the original colony. By the 15th century, the colony had been completely abandoned by the Norse. In 1526, a large number of Swabian peasants seeking refuge from the persecution following the German Peasants' War settled Greenland with the assistance of the emerging Kingdom of Sweden, believing it to be the northernmost place in the world and naming it Nordland. Sweden used the settlers has grounds against the Danish, hoping to further damage the Danish by taking away significant portions of their kingdom. As the nature of the settlement was not for military purposes, the Danes did not attack it, with many records suggesting that they did not even know that the settlement took place, and as a result, Nordland became a vassal of Sweden. In 1637, Johannes Hohenstaufen petitioned the Swedish monarchy to install him as the duke of Nordland, claiming to be a descendant of older, extinct House of Hohenstaufen. When the Swedish monarch refused, Johannes launched a popular revolt in Nordland, ultimately expelling the entirety of Swedish forces and resisting a Swedish incursion in the Nordish Revolt of 1637. Johannes was proclaimed Johannes I of Nordland by the Church of Nordland, and he was recognized by Denmark-Norway in 1639 as the true king of Nordland. This move would lead to the consequential Nordish War of 1640 and the Treaty of London, in which Sweden recognized the legitimacy of the Nordish sovereign. Nordland would improve itself through trade and domestic development to become a considerable regional power in northern Europe through diplomacy and trade. In the 18th and 19th centuries, conflicts with the native Inuits over expansion of the German-speaking Nordish would lead to the Inuit Wars and the eventual extinction of the Inuit peoples in Nordland by 1823. The development of the Romantic movement in Europe greatly effected Nordland, with Romanticism becoming a leading ideology across the nation. As a result, Nordland strengthened its absolute monarchy, becoming one of the last absolute monarchy in Europe by the end of the First World War. Heavily hit by the Great Depression, and put under international critique because of its German-speaking population after the Second World War, Nordland's monarchy lost a significant amount of power with the Nordish Constitution of 1949, which established the parliament and a democratic system. Though it was neutral in the Cold War, Nordland became an ally of the United States and Western Europe with a developing economy that favoured distributism and the institution of pragmatic laissez faire policies. Nordland favoured the European Free Trade Association over the European Union, and joined the EFTA in 1991 alongside Liechtenstein. Nordland is a constitutional monarchy with a unicameral parliamentary system. The head of state is the monarch, and the head of government is the prime minister. The parliament in Nordland is the supreme legislature, and as such, enjoys the full responsibilities of governance. As it is not specifically derived from the monarchy, the parliament is not sovereign in its rule, however, and the monarch still holds the power to dissolve the parliament at any time they deem necessary. The members of the parliament are elected from their respective electoral districts based on a party vote, in which the largest party in the parliament then forms the government. Elections in Nordland occur every five years, based entirely on a party percentage of the vote to determine the ruling party or coalition of parties which then make up the government. While parties do not specifically exist to serve as the body for which the government must be formed, they simplify the process of government and are thus required in the creation and maintenance of the nation's democratic government. The economy of Nordland is heavily based on three industries; fishing, herding, and services. Nordland is a developed, modernised economy which never experienced industrialisation in the respect of the factory system. Instead, the nation's economy has simply adopted the technologies developed over time, and been reliant on its exports of fish, wool, hides, milk, and meat from goats, sheep, and oxen. Potatoes, cabbage, and radishes can also be grown in the far south in the summer's short growing season, but these seasons are too short to form a permanent industry of commercial farming. The government endorses a mixture of distributist and laissez faire economic policies based around the principles of responsible government in terms of providing a series of services to the people. As a result, healthcare, education, roads, power, water, and emergency services are owned and operated by the government through a series of government policies and administrations. Nordland is considered to be a free market, with a large amount of economic freedom and a generally moderate cost of living. Nordland holds good relations with most other western countries, and generally neutral relations with countries which do not claim themselves to be westernised. Nordland's closest allies are Iceland, Britannia, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The nation is a member of the League of Nations, the Nordic Council, the Nordic Passport Union, the EFTA, the EEA, the Council of Europe, the OCED, the IMF and the WTO."@en .

Many sea fortresses and watch-towers line the coast of Nordland, as raiders from across the Sea of Claws are an all too common threat that can't be ignored without dire consequences.[1a] The State Troops of Nordland, including the Nordland Mariners, wear the distinctive blue and yellow uniforms of their province. The provincial banner on the other hand, bears a depiction of a Sea Eagle clutching a shield with an image of an Imperial warship, the symbol used as the coat of arms by the Elector Count Theoddric Gausser. Traditionally the Elector Count of Nordland is also the Prince of Marienburg as well, and this has been a point of contention since the city has seceded from the Empire in 2429 IC. Other often-seen emblems includes the Imperial Cross, various ships, anchor or fish symbols, and the five-pointed crown of the sea god Manann.[1a]"@en . . "Nordland is a state of Whiland."@en .
