Valkyria Confederation

Valkyria, officially the Valkyria Confederation (Norwegian: Valkyria Konføderasjon, Swedish: Valkyria Edsförbundet, Icelandic: Valkyrien Samtök, Danish: Valkyria Konføderation, Dutch: Valkyria Confederatie) (alternative spelling: Valkyrie, Valkyrien or Valkyrian) is a country in Northern Europe. Valkyria's population is about 425 thousand people at the time of its formation, about 9,34 million after annexing Iceland, and at approximately 12,88 million people at the formation of the Second Confederation. Although not having an official capital, the city of Bergen (also known as Valkyria or Valkyrien) is regarded as one due to the fact that the Valkyrian government is based there and it was the heartland of the nation.
The Valkyria Confederation was formed as Valkyria Bergen after a questionable rebellion from Norway in early 2018. Led by Erik Jakobsen from its establishment until 2037 and his daughter Anna afterwards, the nation has adopted a constitutional monarchy and pursue the path of equality and scientific advancement.
Valkyria is sometimes considered as a permanent union between the five regions and the newly-annexed Iceland. (see below).
== Etymology ==
The name Valkyria comes from "valkyrie" (Old Norse: valkyrja). In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live.
The nation used to be named "Valkyria Bergen" due to the fact that it is initially based on the city of Bergen. The name changed to "Valkyria Confederation" for unknown purposes.
== History ==
The existence of the Confederation has been regarded by Sweden as "a split personality of Norway", and also recorded to be active since the time of the Kalmar Union, or maybe even before that; and it has always wanted to break free from everything that prevented its independence. The desire never come true until 2018, when a rebellion led by Erik Jakobsen successfully established the state on the city of Bergen. After the Great Nordic War that happened 15 years later, the nation acquired a considerable chunk of Norwegian and Swedish lands.
The Valkyria Confederation's arch-enemy is the Neo-Byzantine Empire (also known as Byzantium in the past) and both has shown hatred to each other due to differences in ethnicity, government, ideologies and characteristics. Valkyria also appears to know Proxima and is aware of his hostility, which end up in a reform of the Valkyria Military Alliance and multiple researchs of unique units throughout Europe.
Valkyria also has knowledge about Proxima's technology, which opens up a possibility that the two of them may know each other before.
Valkyria is the leader of the Nordic-Eurasian Pact.
In 2039, an ethereal crystal exploded under Malmö, which urged Valkyria to research more about it to find out about the nation's origin.
In 2043, an Europe-wide war ignites and Valkyria and its allies are locked into a war against the Mediterranean Axis. The war itself ended with the collapse of both sides and Europe itself.
== Dissolution of the First Confederation ==
Although it is never talked about in the now-abandoned AFOE series by LKC when the creator changes to the name Lukarion, it is rumored that the whole world - including Valkyria - becomes less stable, and the nation itself becomes divided into 5 states interlocked into the Valkyrian Entente, the surviving legacy of the Confederation itself, with hopes of uniting when the situation has gotten more stable.

Main article: Valkyrian Entente
== Formation of the Second Confederation ==
The whole Valkyrian realm was united under the Confederation's new flag just a decade before the Second Continental War, which it is part of Forente Europa.

== Politics ==
The current party with a majority of seats, as of 2037, was the Liberal Democrats. Other parties included the Labour Party, the Conservative Party and the Socialist Party.
== Economy ==
TBA
== Military ==
The Valkyria Confederation relies on Russia for manpower due to its low population. However, its military technology grows very fast despite its size and their weapons are considerably stronger than the rest of the world.
It is estimated that about 30% of their army are made up of Russians in 2037, but language barriers and ethnic differences doesn't cause any issues during training and combat.
As of 2037, the Valkyria Armed Forces numbers about 320,000 personnel, excluding the nation's militia. Its full mobilization combat strength is about at least 440,000 soldiers. Valkyria has conscription along with a period of training, and drafts whoever is willing to fight for their nation, regardless of gender. The Armed Forces has many subordinate branches, with the Cyberwarfare and the Valkyria Army being the most advanced.
Valkyria also has a combat satellite called Yatogami, which is named blatantly after a Date A Live character.
== Regions & Cities ==
The current Valkyria Confederation is divided into six major regions: Vestlandet, Sørlandet, Østlandet (formerly part of Norway), Götaland (formerly part of Sweden), Dania (combined by two Danish regions Nordjylland and Sjælland) and Iceland. Every region has a special city which has slightly higher autonomy and slightly lower taxes, except for Götaland, which has two. 
=== Regions, Counties and Special Cities of Valkyria ===
Before breaking apart, Valkyria is divided into 26 counties and 2 autonomous cities (Oslo and Bergen), which are mostly based on real-life Norwegian, Swedish & Icelandic counties. After the reformation, these county borders survived and in addition to it, Danish counties and Special Cities were added.

== Trivia ==
* Valkyria Confederation's counterpart on NationStates is the Confederacy of Nordician Valkyria (https://www.nationstates.net/nation=nordician_valkyria), which is part of the North Pacific region.
* The word "valkyrie" was actually taken from this, a Monstercat track by Varien.
* One of the other names for the nation was Valkyrien, a portmanteau of "valkyrie" and "Varien", the producer that made the track Valkyrie, which was the inspiration for the nation's name.
* The name "Valkyrie" is the main reason why the nation started in Norway. Because, duh, Old Norse mythologies. Also why not because Norway best nation.
* The capital is Bergen because Luka is a fan of Alan Walker and Kygo. Both producers are from Bergen.
* This nation has nothing to do with Valkyria Chronicles. Seriously. I have no idea the game exists.
