New Scandinavia is the newest dominant empire in a long string of them on the planet of Komand. Although they still have yet to control their planet, they have a high tech level, already having hover tech, and it is rumored they even have FTL travel capabilities. They have heard of the galactic conflicts, such as the Immortal War, and hope to take to space very soon.

They drive them away and in a joint effort between NS and The CC, drive the thousands of rebels onto an unused island in the North-Western Sea.
2495-- Tensions between NS and The CC boil over when CC scientists discover what makes their skin peach, and develop a virus for it. They infect parts of NS, not realizing that it also will kill thousands, and so the 3RD CONFEDERATE WAR starts. First battles over sub-continental islands.

2503-- Due to Grand Jarls Polvin’s age and going senile, he get crazy notions of world peace, and calls for 10 years of peace. The CC, eager to keep their foothold on Scandinavia, accept the terms of armistice. Time set to end the conflict is May 15th at 9:00 PM. For the last hourS, young General Khaar Green leads a small band of regulars to and Mandoa commandoes in an attempt to capture a crucial power station. Although this fails, General Khaar’s bravery earns the admiration of the entire nation.
2513-- Just before the end of his “10 Years of Peace,” Grand Jarl Polvin dies, and General Khaar is elected to Grand Jarl by a landslide. Plans to immediately strike on the 10th anniversary of his last battle are made. In a press conference, he refers to the next war as OPERATION: UNITED.
New Scandinavia, unlike most military's, is only divided into 2 branches. The Infantry Force, and the Armored Forces.
The Infantry Force is comprised of a few groups.
Marines- The standard unit, comprised of both Marines and Demolitions Troops.
RANGERs- Elite unites of the the Infantry Force. Special tests must be taken to qualify to be a RANGER.
The Armored Forces are a combination of the "common" Air Force, Armored divisions, and the Navy.
Along with the standard military, there are the MANDOA Commando force. These are force sensitive commandos trained in arm to arm combat. Along with Rangers, special tests are required to become a Mandoa. Mandoa's must also remain anonymous until a certain rank is achieved.
Organization of Government
The type of government that New Scandinavia is known to them as a Representative Monarchy. Basically, their leader is called a Grand Jarl. When a Grand Jarl dies, a large election is held, where a Grand Jarl is elected for life. That Grand Jarl holds technical all power, but since they don't usually want to take the time to make every decision, there is a congress to make decisions, but, if the Grand Jarl sees fit, can over turn any decision made.
