Intention: This proposal will unite Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and the autonomous regions of Greenland and the Faroe Islands into single state to be known as the Nordic Union.
Reasoning: The Nordic countries share a common history and culture, their respective languages are all closely related and each country shares a similar social and political makeup. As a union I believe these countries would be more effective in representing its citizens both on the world stage and in a European Union which is dominated by Germany and France. A united Norden would also be more effective in maintaining and asserting its Arctic claim in the face of an increasingly aggressive Russia.
Questions welcomed, 5 days of discussion will follow and then 5 days of voting.
