History
Norway had become the dominant Scandinavian power in the 1300s. It consolidated it's power until 1600. Following a war against Denmark, Norway had defeated the Danish King, Christian IV in 1618. In the declaration of Aa'borg, there would be a permanent personal union between the two powers after Christian's daughter, Princess Alana, which made the new union the Arborgian Empire. However, due to the hasty actions of some successor-kings, the Empire gradually lost land in wars against Sweden.

A brief revolution swept Arborgia in 1836, where popular Count Fresnel Axel seized power and declared himself as President of the Arborgian republic. After he served three terms, he was succeeded by his son, Nikolai Axel, who reinstated the Arborgian monarchy and crowned himself as Nikolai I the Great. He seized a chance by marrying the only daughter of the ailing Swedish King Alonso X, to form a personal union between Sweden and Norway in 1865, the Sweden-Norway. From then, Arborgia slowly dominated Sweden in politics from the inside. By 1904, then Emperor Saika III decided to divide the Swedish state into Northern Sweden (Kalmar) and Southern Sweden (Sverige).

However, with more liberal monarchs, Arborgia decided to change it's name to the Nordic Alliance in 1965 and seized Estonia from the Kryuusian Empire. Years of peace followed, until Arborgia garnered the interest of other powerful nations, such as Russia, who had blamed the Nordic Government for terrorist attacks. A two-year war, the Nordic War, ensued in 2010, resulting in the Arborgian acquisition of Lapland, which still rests with Arborgia today.

Following the Nordic War, the Nordic Alliance and a rapidly industrializing Arborgia's economy skyrocketed after huge oil and lumber raw resources were exploited by the Arborgian Government. However, it was a victim of it's own success as it lost a game of nuclear chicken against the Kryuusian Empire, which the Nordic Alliance was forced to join a Nordic-Kryuusian Commonwealth. When that was dissolved following Kryuusian internal crisis, the entire Nordic Alliance fell apart, and Arborgia decided to allow Sweden, Kalmar, and Estonia to leave the Nordic Alliance.

In the modern day, Arborgia gained a Dictator Mikael Geir as Provost, whom launched an unprovoked attack on the Sebaerian Commonwealth. He was assassinated before neither side could deliver a fatal blow. A peace treaty was signed with the Arborgian Government Post Sebaerian campaign has been stormy waters, following Acol. Kin Kohler's shooting death, the public has been in uproar. Following a massive collapse in the Norwegian economy, even more public ire was incited. However, timely intervention stopped it from becoming a full blown depression.
