The Republic of Denmark-Sweden, sometimes (incorrectly) known as Scandinavia, is a democratic republic in the far north of Europe.

Founded in 1831 after redoing their constitution to have stricter and more protective laws. Throughout the 1820's, the northern region of D-S was in anarchy, and almost collapsed their government completely.

In 1830, stricter rebels took control of the government in their election, and created the Third Republic of Denmark-Sweden (TRDS).

Today, the TRDS boasts one of the strongest technological powers in the EU, and in the world. It's one of the largest countries in Europe, and has one of the best economies in the world.

It didn't take place in either of the Great Wars, but still has a large arsenal of nuclear bombs.

Etymology[]

the name "Denmark-Sweden" derives from two nations that existed during the 9th century to 1398 when it was united to the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway.

Prehistory[]

Main article: Prehistoric Sweden and Prehistoric Denmark

In the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic (12,000-4000 BC) Denmark was covered in the Weichsel glaciation, except the western coast of Jutland, while in Sweden the Pleistocene glaciations scoured the landscape clean and covered much of it in deep quaternary sediments. the Weichsel glaciation ended around 13,000 years ago allowing humans to move back into the previously ice-covered territories and establish permanent habitation

Viking Age[]

Around the 11th century the Viking Age ended.

Renaissance[]

In the mid 14th century, during the heart of renaissance, Sweden and Denmark began making meetings to bring up the morale. Many Danish and Swedish nobles opposed this idea, as they thought their lands would be sold and that they would have to pay for the trips.

In 1398 Sweden and Denmark united as a single nation, this was an important moment in the History of Europe, and even History of Diplomacy, the nation would conquer and be led by powerful Kings. Denmark-Sweden

King George II by Charles Jervas

King Karl I Estridson (1548-1589) led Denmark-Sweden through many victories

would bring many territories in the North of Scandinavia and some Central and Eastern European territories.

However, major protests be demanding an Republic, a Republic was installed in 1608, but the King did not acknowledge this until 1612, and the Kingdom of Denmark-Sweden was replaced by the First Republic of Denmark-Sweden.

Republic[]

After the Monarchy was overthrown the First Republic of Denmark-Sweden was formed due to pressure from Vinland and the rest of Europe.

the Republic was a nation which ran on a simple Direct Democracy. It based its Government on New England's, and had a Prime Minister as its Head of State. It stayed out of most world politics, and tried to keep to itself. It was slightly corrupt, as it leaned towards the influence from Vinland to make most of its decisions. Being like this, it was overthrown in its Rikardist revolution in 1709.

Rikardism[]

After the successful Rikardist Revolution in 1709 and the takeover of the Government with the assassination of the President the Most Serene Republic of Denmark-Sweden (MSRDS) was established. Things changed majorly, mainly the Politics and Government. They became very isolationist, non-Capitalist society. They still traded, but only with places close to them (Scotland, Russia).

Wealth was distributed quickly, which drove many former billionaires out of the Country.

Things went good at first, but slowly got worse as they administered more reforms. By 1800, most ways of work paid the same amount of money, which led to many types of Work being run out of business. Their Government collapsed in 1816 and was replaced with the Second Republic of Denmark-Sweden. Historians say another reason it collapsed was the sense of inferiority that the People had. the Government treated everyone the same, so it lead to People having no motivation in their lives

Second Republic[]

The Second Republic of Denmark-Sweden (SRDS) was founded a Republic based on the Vinlandic and New England government's. it was founded after the Collapse of Rikardist Denmark-Sweden.

the People who were assigned to make a Constitution were extremely rushed,  and the whole Constitution was made in four weeks. the Makers attempted to mold it to resemble the Scottish Constitution, but also made it unique.

Most Drugs were legal there, and Punishments were lessened (to balance Hard Punishments if the Previous Government).

In 1820, Rebel groups in places like Sapmi and Norland grew, and many wanted a Reform to the Constitution. the Government managed to deal with the Revolts, but by 1830 it was too late. the SRDS was beyond repair, and the Rebels took hold of the Senate in the Next Election.

They decided to completely redo the Constitution from scratch, and created the Republic that we know today as the Third Republic of Denmark-Sweden.

Modern[]

Liberalism grew in Denmark-Sweden, with the formation of the Liberal Party in 1839.

When the Great War began in 1845 after conflicts between Arabia and the Ottoman Empire, Denmark-Sweden choose to remain neutral, but gave Humanitarian Aid, although not isolationist. 

Denmark-Sweden economically grew in the 20th Century with Fishing in Norway and Farming in Sweden and Denmark, this would prove the Nation was a stable nation, compared to its predecessors.

When the Second Great War began in 1967 Denmark-Sweden once again stayed neutral, but providing Humanitarian Aid to the affected nations.
