Nordica

The **Socialist Federation of Nordica** (Estonian: Põhjamaade Sotsialistlik Föderatsioon) was a country in Season 1, formed in 1991 out of the crumbling USSR, and roleplayed by SomeRandomInternational. It lasted under various names from the start of its existence in 1991, until the season ended in 2060. However, roleplay for the country only started in 2026, therefore we'll be looking at events of this nation from 2026-2060.

**Republic of Estonia (2026-2029)**

In 2026, Prime Minister Helidor-Valdor Seeder declared that he will take Estonia out of neutrality, and he will start looking for allies, especially since the exact same year, Russia declared war on its southern neighbour, Latvia. He finds allies in the form of Ireland and Ukraine, and they soon start plans to expand their nations. Soon a consensus is reached, and in 2027, along with the aid of Russia and Hungary, the three soon declare war on Lithuania and the UK.

However, this coincides with an election, and Seeder decides that he and his right-wing Isamaa (Fatherland) party will run for a second term with the aid of the centre-left Social Democrats and the centre-right Reform Party in a bloc called *Platform For Estonia*. The elections are eventful, however Seeder's bloc wins, gaining a majority of 65 out of 101 seats. Much to the dismay of the more conservative side of the alliance, the bloc agrees to appoint Indrek Saar, leader of the Social Democrats as Prime Minister. He would be ultimately the man to shape the small nation into the growing empire that it was at the end of roleplay.

The next year, once the two are defeated, Estonia manages to annex Northern Lithuania and the Isle of Man. Reforms are passed, and much more autonomy is given to Lithuania and the Isle of Man. The government soon reforms itself into a new union.

**Confederation of the Baltic Sea (BSC) (2029-2032)**

The Confederation of the Baltic Sea was created as a union between the three parts of Estonia. The capital was switched to Tartu, as Prime Minister Saar believed that it is a city of unity and friendship. Saar keeps his office of Prime Minister, and wins a 2031 election with the aid of the left-wing Left Party and the centre-left Farmers and Greens Union. This gives their coalition 219 out of 350 seats.

After he wins the election, one of his main priorities is to strengthen relations with other countries, and he does exactly that with Ukraine, and their new President, Ivan Chersokov. Chersokov would go on to play a major part in the politics of this nation.

Many land exchanges happen during this period. Two major wars are fought involving the BSC. The first one is a joint invasion of Finland, along with Russia. The land is split, so that the BSC gets all of Southern Finland and Russia would get Northern Finland and Karelia. The second one is that along with a new anti-communist pact named the Sofia Pact, the BSC declared war on China. After much negotiation, the BSC got far southern China (Provinces of Guangxi, Guangzhou, Hainan, Macau and Hong Kong). This was especially important, because the BSC had their population increased by 170 million. As well, they handed over their part of Lithuania over to Ukraine, which changed its name to Ruthenia. These land exchanges paved the way for bigger ambitions, and once again, a new era for the nation.

**Finnic Union (FU) (2032-2036)**

BSC changed its name to the Finnic Union, after the inclusion of Finland into the Union, as well as the selling of Lithuania to the Ruthenians.

Although things were going well so far, alarm bells rung when the Finnic Union's neighbour, Russia, had a coup and installed a dictator named Brutus. They as well changed their name to Eurasia, and they started shelling their own cities. This forced the Finnic Union to join a secret alliance with their old allies, Ireland (now renamed to the Celtic Union) and Ruthenia, as well as Canada. This alliance was named the Global Peacekeepers Alliance, or GPA for short. This gave a degree of safety to the Finnic Union.

Elections were held in 2034, due to Saar changing the terms to every three years. Again, Saar ran for a 3rd term, and he won yet again, this time allying with the new Finnic Left-Green Alliance to gain a supermajority of 315 out of 375 seats. The happiness in this country further spiked when the Finnic Union won the very first edition of the CDP World Cup, a football (soccer) world cup, hosted in the Celtic Union.

However, not all is fine and dandy, and it is shown when a fascist revolution is held in Tartu. Prime Minister Saar escapes to Ruthenia, where he is granted asylum, and citizens who live in Tartu are brought to shelters around the country. Eventually, the place is secured, and all fascist leaders were put on trial. Again, crisis strikes when during a trip to the Celtic Union (now renamed the United Celtic Confederation or UCC for short), Prime Minister Saar is shot. He is brought to a hospital in Cork, where he eventually recovers. Soon fascist plots are exposed, and the government manages the crisis fairly easily after all the incidents, and peace is brought once again.

Soon, the Finnic Union ventures into new conquests, when they join Germany in invading the Netherlands. They soon gain new territories in coastal Netherlands, as well as Dutch overseas islands in the Caribbean. They as well invade Suriname, but get into a bit of a mixup when Eurasian planes in Brazil start firebombing Suriname without a declaration of war. Eventually, it is realized that that it was to secure the South American banana market, and they were simply firebombing enemy positions.

However, tensions spike once again when Eurasia demands that the shooter of Saar is brought to an international court, which was strongly against the wishes of both the UCC and the Finnic Union, who both wanted it to be held in a Celtic court. Saar famously says *"If the Finnic Union and the United Celtic Confederation have agreed to a decision only involving the Finnic Union and the United Celtic Confederation, then maybe, it’s not nationalism. If you want to meddle in the politics of neighbouring countries, that is called expanding your sphere of influence, not internationalism"*, when Brutus talks about internationalism and finding a global solution. Soon, the UCC suggests that all countries in the GPA should invade Eurasia to avoid it striking first. Both Ruthenia and the Finnic Union object, and the Finnic Union apologizes for unnecessarily raising world tensions, even if Eurasia did not apologize to this day.

Yet even if the Finnic Union tries to find a peaceful and friendly solution to the tensions with Eurasia, it seemed to always fail. This showed once again in 2036, when Eurasia and the Jingoistic States of America (JSA) declare war on Canada for Canadian nationalists blowing up the largest power plant in the JSA. As per the conditions of the alliance, the UCC, Ruthenia and the Finnic Union all joined in on the side of Canada, and it was certain that all-out war would occur. Luckily, negotiations occured between both sides, and at the end, all sides withdrew, to secure peace. Yet again, Saar decides to change the name of the nation, to represent more of a union, and more of a democracy.

**Nordic Republic (NR) (2036-2051)**

In Ruthenia, Pagan extremists (Runic movement) try to force their way into power. The Ruthenian Runic Front (RRF) attempt to converse with Saar to get his support in starting a revolution in Ruthenia. This doesn't work at all, since the NR and Ruthenia are both great allies, and Hungary and Russia both fell to the Runic movement, so therefore Saar doesn't support the RRF. However, the RRF takes revenge when a member of the front plants a bomb and explodes the Nordic Parliament. The Parliament was not in session, so nobody got hurt luckily. For 1 week, Keit Pentus-Rosimannus, governor of the province of Estonia, is appointed interim PM. Once again, the RRF tries to contact her, with absolutely no success. Saar manages to come to Tallinn safely and Parliament is rebuilt once again. Ruthenia manages to ban the RRF for committing this crime, and soon all members have to flee to Eurasia.

Once again in 2037, there were elections. Saar felt that there was not enough done in 3 years, so he changed the term back to 4. Once again, he wins a supermajority, this time 800 out of 825 of the seats, overseen by international watchdogs so that governments aroud the world understood that the elections were free and fair.

Almost immediately, problems start rising up. In the UCC, the elected leader, Frank FitzGerald, starts turning the UCC into a dictatorship, He changes its name into the Supreme Celtic Union (SCU) and starts creating a secret police, the Runda. Many start fleeing to nearby Nordic Isle of Man, and the SCU gets upset at this. They try to mix in secret agents with boats filled with refugees, and close ports around the country. However, over 50,000 Celtic refugees make it and start a new life in the Nordic Republic. FitzGerald is deposed by the military and the UCC is reformed again. However, the moment the crisis with the UCC ends, another crisis begins. In Ruthenia, Runic rebels start a civil war. Over 10 million Nordic citizens volunteer to support Chersokov and his government, and Chersokov and his husband flee to the NR and are granted political asylum. Although the rebels seem to emerge victorious, the foreign support for Chersokov's government gives his side a huge advantage and the government side fight back, regaining control of the country.

Eurasia proceeds to try their hand at invading Canada again, however the JSA, Switzerland and the NR all rush to Canada's assistance. Once again, Eurasia tries to negotiate with all members of the war, and this time the NR gets all of Latvia and the rest of Finland. Along with this, they manage to annex all of Sweden through a separate war.
