Nord-Norge

The Twin Authorities of Nord-Norge (abbreviated TW-NN, or simply the Twin Authorities or Nord-Norge) is a country located in northern Europe. A kingdom that utilizes a dual-monarchy system in which two kings/queens and their respective parliaments and heritage are active at once and represent the two countries part of Nord-Norge, the country has a long history of being involved with the Vikings having been their origins.

Etymology
"Nord-Norge", in real life, is a Norwegian landsdeler (region) that occupies the large majority of Norway's northern areas, hence it's name in English (North Norway).

The borders of the country itself are similar to that of the Sweden-Norway union, in which both countries although independent were under one kingdom and respective monarchist systems. This union lasted between 1814 to 1905. This may also fall in place with it's name, Sweden-Norway and Nord-Norge being similar.

Flag
The flag of Nord-Norge was adopted in 1913. The flag consists of a Scandinavian cross that color-wise is bisected, the top half blue and the bottom half red representing Sweden and Norway. The cross itself represents Norway more however, and in the intersection a diamond-like shape is present. Inside this shape is a laurel and the flags of Sweden and Norway on top of each other, representing the union. The flag itself is controversial in Nord-Norge, with many proposing a variant where the shape in the cross is absent.

History
Nord-Norge's current state began after the reunification of Sweden after the fall of the Kalmar Union in 1523, splintering the majority of the area. After both Norway and Sweden managed to bring each of the splinter states under their flag, both began a fierce rivalry against each other competing for grounds. They soon managed to reconcile after a fierce series of battles across Scandinavia however, and both wanted to unify the former Kalmar Union. After a long series of diplomatic issues and fixes, both began to unite under the Kalmar Empire in 1612, however the government had yet to be rebuilt to accommodate the union. As they never planned to go very far with it, they left it as a dual-monarchy which would compromise most of Nord Norge.

In 1731, after the First European War broke out, the Kalmar Empire decided to go get some after a lack of resources had scourged the country. They managed to attack the Holy Roman Empire from the north , taking Denmark, but soon was forced back after the involvement of the Russian Empire began by attacking the Kalmar Empire from the east. However, they managed to occupy most of Denmark including it's various islands and most of Jutland, but in doing so attracted anger from it's populace. After the collapse of the Russian Empire and the start of the Eurasian Divide, they got more land inward by invading the Baltic States after their independence and their lost land. This would however be easily reversed as due to the presence of Karelia in it's way, and fearing for a loss of stability due to it's war, it was ultimately separated from it's lands.

The Kalmar Empire collapsed in 1816 following the general collapse of government five years prior, and Norway and Sweden were once again separated. Karelia, although it had the ability to take back more land, decided to avoid further invasion and stuck with it's small pieces of land it had gained from the destruction of the Empire. Denmark was once again returned to the HRE, however it was further separated than before and it easily became a shell of itself. Norway and Sweden decided to reunify twelve years later under the new name of Nord-Norge, and like old times began a lengthy conquest. However, they looked west and saw a giant slab of ice in the Atlantic to snatch. So they snatched it. And that was their first major conquest in a lot of years.

Nothing much happened between Nord-Norge's conquest as it soon adopted an isolationist policy. During the era of the Cold War, Nord-Norge released Greenland to no country or authority and today the area remains a disputed zone.

Politics and Government
Nord-Norge's government can be simplified to be two monarchies that intersect and deal with each other in various ways. As for their politics, they were under the ideology of monarchism, in which a monarch or other authority similar to it is the main leader of the country itself.
