Scandinavia

Scandinavia is a sociopolitical region of Europe consisting of Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Greenland.

History

The Scandinavian countries were hit hard by global climate change, and many small Baltic islands have been completely sunken. The countries officially banded together into the Scandinavian Bloc to fight against the economic dominance of the European Economic Community, but it quickly fell apart due to the infighting of its main ally, the Baltic League, and most Scandinavian countries accepted the invitation to join the EEC when offered.

In March 2020, Greenland made a bold move and unanimously voted to restrict corporate development to only 5% of their landmass; this was due to it becoming a popular play-ground for the rich. The preserved environment is to be reserved for scientific study in the future.

Government

The government of Scandinavia provides cheap housing, food, medical treatment, and monetary support to most of its citizens. Those that are caught abusing their governments generosity are punished severely and ostracized from society.

Culture

Scandinavians consider themselves more refined and independent than other cultures, with both hygiene and healthy food being considered paramount. The thing that really stands out about Scandinavian culture is their bold colors.

Scandinavia possesses incredibly innovative technology, including cutting edge fields such as AI and walking vehicles. Technology is used to perform most outside tasks as a weakening ozone layer makes exposure dangerous.

Scandinavia is also known for the availability of hardcore braindances and soft drugs, with hard drugs available from licensed salons. This makes up most of Scandinavia's tourism. It also has some of the best Clinics in the world, capable of installing any type of cyberware.

Notes

• Although it shares history and cultural elements with Sweden, in reality Finland is not a Scandinavian country. It is often mistakenly defined as such due to being part of the Scandinavian Peninsula. However, Finland is a Nordic country and is often geographically grouped together with Scandinavia into the region known as Fennoscandia.
