Norway-Sweden, officially known as the Norwegian-Swedish Anarchist Collective, is a country located in Northern Europe. The country is a confederation of communes and follows an anarchist political system where decisions are made through direct democracy and horizontal organization. The capital city is Bergen, which is also the largest city in the country. The official languages of Norway-Sweden are Norwegian and Swedish. The country is known for its unique architecture, influenced by Norse and futurist styles, and its strong emphasis on environmentalism and sustainability. The economy is primarily based on the principles of mutual aid, cooperation, and communal ownership of the means of production. Norway-Sweden is a land of rugged terrain, consisting of vast forests, majestic mountain ranges, and picturesque fjords. The land is abundant in natural resources, including oil, gas, minerals, and timber. The environment is characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers, with temperatures ranging from below freezing to the mid-20s Celsius. The vast majority of the land is covered in forests, with the remainder being tundra, mountains, and coastlines. The fjords, which are narrow inlets of the sea, are a prominent feature of the coastline, and provide stunning vistas and abundant fishing opportunities. The earliest evidence of human activity in what is now Norway-Sweden dates back to the Paleolithic era, with the discovery of stone tools and animal remains at several sites in the region. These early human settlements were likely established by hunter-gatherer groups who roamed the area in search of food and resources. As the climate warmed during the Holocene era, around 10,000 years ago, these early groups began to develop more settled communities based on fishing, hunting, and agriculture. The arrival of agriculture in the region around 4000 BCE led to significant changes in the way of life for these early communities, paving the way for the eventual emergence of Nordic culture in the region.

The Norwegian Revolution
Main Article

Government and politics
The government and politics of Norway-Sweden are unique in that they are based on principles of anarcho-collectivism, meaning that power is decentralized and decision-making is done through consensus-building among the community.

The country is run by various committees that oversee different areas of society, including the Health Committee, Education Committee, Economic Planning Committee, and Housing Committee. These committees operate on a horizontal structure, with decisions being made collectively and transparently among members.

Iefan Alstūd, the leader of the Norwegian Revolution, holds a unique position within the country. While he is widely regarded as a cultural leader and proponent of Borker Thought, and he does not hold any official government position.

Instead, Alstūd is considered a guide and advisor to the people of Norway-Sweden, providing inspiration and direction for the country's political and cultural movements. His leadership is only acknowledged as long as the people choose to follow him, with decisions being made through consensus among the community.

The government and politics of Norway-Sweden emphasize community involvement and direct democracy, with power being distributed among the people rather than being centralized in a single individual or group. This unique approach has allowed the country to thrive, with high levels of social equality and cooperation among citizens.

Military
The Armed Forces of Norway-Sweden are known as the "Frostkrigere," named after the harsh and unforgiving winters of the region. The Frostkrigere follow a Maoist People's War doctrine, which emphasizes guerrilla warfare and the involvement of the people in the defense of the country.

The Frostkrigere are organized into regional units, with each unit responsible for the defense of their respective communities. These regional units are further divided into smaller units, consisting of trained militia members who are ready to defend their communities in the event of an attack. Every adult man and woman is required to undergo training and serve in the militia, ensuring that the defense of the nation is in the hands of the people.

In times of war, Iefan Alstūd has the capacity to lead the country's armies as the Commander-in-Chief. However, the Frostkrigere are structured in such a way that leadership is decentralized, with local commanders making decisions based on the needs of their communities. This horizontal structure allows for greater flexibility and adaptability, ensuring that the Frostkrigere are able to respond quickly to threats to the nation.

The Frostkrigere are equipped with a mix of modern and traditional weapons, reflecting the country's commitment to both technological advancement and their Norse heritage. Along with conventional weapons, the Frostkrigere are skilled in the use of traditional Nordic weapons such as axes and swords, allowing them to fight with both ferocity and skill.

Norwegian Special Forces
The Haldorsson Selskap is a highly specialized unit of soldiers that focus on guerilla warfare and industrial sabotage. They were named in honor of their legendary commander, Bjorn Haldorsson, who played a key role in the Norwegian Revolution and is revered as a fearless soldier. The members of the unit are carefully selected for their physical and mental toughness, as well as their exceptional skill in combat and strategic planning. They are trained in various techniques of guerilla warfare, including ambushes, sabotage, and hit-and-run tactics, which they use to great effect in disrupting enemy operations and weakening their forces.

In addition to their combat abilities, the Haldorsson Selskap is also highly skilled in industrial sabotage. They specialize in targeting the enemy's supply lines, communication networks, and other crucial infrastructure. They are trained in various techniques for sabotage, such as demolition, hacking, and infiltration. These skills have proved invaluable in disrupting the enemy's ability to wage war and undermining their morale.

The Haldorsson Selskap is a highly respected and feared unit in the Norwegian military, known for their unwavering loyalty to their commander and their dedication to the cause of the revolution. They operate with utmost secrecy, and their existence is known only to a select few. Those who have seen them in action speak of their ruthless efficiency and their ability to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy.

Norse Futurism
Norse Futurism is an art and cultural movement that emerged in Norway-Sweden after the revolution of the 2020s. It is an artistic expression that combines elements of Norse mythology and futurism. The movement has gained popularity across the country as an expression of national pride and a celebration of the country's rich cultural heritage. Norse Futurism emphasizes a fusion of the traditional and the modern, blending Norse motifs with futuristic design elements. It often features themes of exploration and technological advancement, as well as a reverence for nature and the environment. The movement is characterized by its use of bold colors, geometric shapes, and intricate patterns, as well as its emphasis on functionality and efficiency. Norse Futurism has been embraced by a diverse range of artists, designers, and cultural producers, and has become an important cultural export for Norway-Sweden.

Norse Futurism was first jump-started by a group of young Norwegian-Swedish artists and writers in the 2030s, who sought to combine traditional Norse mythology with futuristic technology and aesthetics. The movement was seen as a rejection of the traditional and historicist architectural and artistic styles that were popular in Norway-Sweden prior to the revolution, and represented a desire to create a new, distinctly Scandinavian vision of the future. The movement was in part a response to the political and cultural changes that had taken place in Norway-Sweden after the revolution, which had given rise to a renewed sense of national identity and pride. Many Norse Futurists saw their work as a way to celebrate and elevate Scandinavian culture and heritage in a modern context, while also looking towards the future and imagining new possibilities for technological progress and social advancement.

Factions
The by far most popular faction in all of Norway-Sweden, this evolved out of the Norwegian Revolutionary Front after the revolution. It is economically far left, though culturally syncretic. It advocates for "Religion, Community, and Freedom". The second largest faction in Norway-Sweden, the DNAU wants an economy and political system focused around unions and syndicates, instead of the anarcho-collectivist economy currently in place. They also support much more radically progressive elements, and a focus on internationalism rather than Norwegian nationalism. The Techno-Anarchists support Left-Rothbardianism and radical individualist policies, as well as, of course, supporting rapid technological process. The Carrotists seek closer connections with Scotland, and support a dissolution of the Borkerist Govement, seeing anarchism as not just being stateless, but also government-less, taking a more individualist approach, with a market economy, along side a mostly agrarian one. They are also Neoluddites. The Green Cross Collective are a faction that supports the Christian minority in Norway-Sweden, supporting mostly agrarian policies. The Nordic Movement are the remains of the Nordic Resistance Movement, who quickly acclimated to the new anarchist status-quo, and adopted the quickly growing Norse pagan religion.
