I guess from the app Rare, I can let you in.

I'll post soon.

Iso/Moose here.

So... I have come back and gone inactive god knows how many times, as for why all i can say is I always felt a bit bad or tainted from that whole NWC fiasco where i made a mess of the canon. Anyway i want to try one last time to get back in and stay active, if that is ok...

Ok

Um k?

If that is the case can I rewrite areas of Swedens canon? I want to remove all the silly things while leaving the important parts in.

There's summaries on the first page of this thread. I think Sweden got cleared but you can probably get it back, no worries my son.

So I mostly nuked the Swedish canon, but here is what i have now.

Nation: Sweden
Leader: Birgit August
History:
PART ONE

Among the lucky few disconnected enough to be capable of doing so Sweden managed to stay neutral in a military sense during the First World War. Sweden capitalized on the war by selling shipments of iron ore and other necessities like food to Germany (whose physical proximity to Sweden made stronger political ties advantageous.) Relying on German ships being mostly in command of the Baltic and its entrances Sweden shipped enough iron ore to Germany that the Swedish economy was notably boosted for the duration of the war. While Entente leveled numerous threats and often covert actions against Swedish shipments damage was negligible and an official declaration of war was never given between Sweden and any Entente nation. However the lasting diplomatic consequences of this later forced Sweden into a post war depression as even though their trade with Germany continued it was nowhere near the levels it had been during the Great War. Sweden underwent a period of unrest and hunger as a result of this depression that culminated in the ousting of its Prime Minister and a complete separation between the monarchy (who some blamed for reinforcing the wartime policy parliament practiced that caused the depression) and the state. The Swedish royal family had most of its estates claimed exempting the royal palace to which the king was left as a figurehead with no technical or symbolic influence on government. This period saw Sweden transition from a Constitutional monarchy where the monarch still had technical power to a representative republic similar to the system established within the United States.

PART TWO

Unfortunately this governmental change proved little more than a morale booster and proved incapable of ending the depression that would continue until Sweden along with the rest of Europe had mostly picked up the pieces left over from the war and begun forgetting old grudges. Sweden had a slow path to economic stability and during that time maintained a strict policy of neutrality fearing another great war. However by 1960 Sweden had become an export based economy providing a reasonable share of European wood and iron. It was in 1960 that several major undertakings came about. One of these was an effort to modernize an outdated and lacking military on the grounds of protecting its trade routes in the event of another war and for what many feared were turbulent times ahead. While this effort continued in the background another more public endeavor was made to reinforce trade relations with European nations and further the country’s economy. By 1964 this trade endeavor put the Swedish economy in a better position than it had been in before the Great War and brought Norway into a lucrative economic alliance. The rest of the decade followed on a similar note for Sweden, finally in a position to shine the country followed an agenda of economic expansion and civil construction with a slowly progressing modernization of its military.

PART THREE

Yet in the first year of the new decade, 1970, the world began to change rapidly. Eyes across Sweden were set east the Russian Empire began to consume itself in what was a terrifying display of civil unrest on a scale unseen since the turbulent years following the Great War. It was in this year that budgets and minds began to favour the military over civil projects. A huge jump in production during 1970 lead to the rushed building of newer more modern tanks, ships, and aircraft as well as a recruitment campaign that made the nation’s military larger than ever before. Sweden soon possessed a moderately sized but well suited navy armed with militarized icebreakers and fast moving frigates and corvettes, suited to the Baltic Sea. Newer tank designs and arms were also rushed to troops in the fears of a spillover of violence from the turbulent Finland. Aircraft however were firmly constrained to specs and a few prototypes as the aviation industry in Sweden was merely a shadow of other nations. By 1971 Finland was consumed by conflict and the border was carefully monitored and reinforced by a Swedish government that had grown conservative and was worried about the tensions between China and Spain leading to a larger war which Sweden would find itself in the middle of. These fears were almost confirmed when the Spanish sent their new aircraft carrier into the Baltic, when it was sunk Sweden was on the edge of war. Surprisingly this escalation leads to an end of the violence. It was not long after that Finland and North Finland were divided.

In one of Sweden’s most unexpected moves in 1974 trade relations were formed between North Finland and Sweden, border security was lessened and the public breathed a sign of relief. For now it seemed that things would be stable and the Swedish economy unharmed by war. This trade relationship with North Finland though sometimes strained by objections from Finland proper would continue until north Finland was brought into a political alliance with China itself. An outrage among the more conservative elements of Swedish government lead to a suspension of trade relations with North Finland, termination was spared only by the efforts of the smaller but still influential liberal factions. Sweden was again set into a state of panic and for time legislation considering the outlaw of communist parties was considered. These proposals however were shot down and life continued. In 1978 Birgit August was elected President of Sweden in a surprise swing towards left leaning thought. Military spending was reigned in and proposals to negotiate for the resumption of trade with North Finland have been considered. By 1980 Sweden sits in an unlikely position as a mostly stable nation sitting on one of the most volatile areas in the world. The two communist states to the east of Sweden are unknowns and although anti-Communist sentiment is not as severe in Sweden as it is in Spain political infighting over what to do about them is present.

Hello,

Is the Empire of Japan still open? I would very much like to enter as Akihito, if that character is also available.

Isn't Akihito dying of cancer or something? Japans open, btw.

Hirohito was. That being said, the status of either of them are malleable imho. Their health just isn't important to the larger plot, so really they can be changed on the whim of who takes them up.

Also, I would saw Sweden looks good. Just gotta wait for herr Aaron to get around.

Hello, I've had an eye on this for some time, and thought I would drop in. I don't suppose Korea/North-Korea is open?

I think it's open, but I think North Korea is under the influence of China. It's open if you don't mind being buddies with Aaron.

I thought Korea was annexed? Or was it just a vassal?
