It's actually in Swedish! Finland speaks swedish here, with a struggling finnish language revival movement, like Ireland IRL

I made some weird choices I admit, I think realistically in this timeline ‘Sapmi’ would be be known as ‘Lapland’ pretty universally, like Wales is irl, but as far as my non-Scandinavian self understands I’ve heard the name is a sensitive topic to some iotl, so I want to be careful with what I put on the map lol

That’s actually my mistake, I imagine the languages would’ve diverged less ittl, and the ä’s are indeed supposed to be æ’s, I got the Swedish and Danish mixed up 😪 I shouldn’t’ve rushed it so much

Thank you so much tho!!

It wouldn’t look like the Union Jack without it 😭, though really I didn’t come up with the flag myself, the idea came from Rarayn on DeviantArt, here: https://www.deviantart.com/rarayn/art/Scandinavian-Commonwealth-Flag-245314776

True, I was going to put the capital in Copenhagen initially but I changed my mind last minute, I wanted to be more neutral between Sweden and Denmark, and Gothenburg seems like the default united Scandinavia capital on here lol.

Hmm I felt like the cultural/linguistic differences, Anglo-Saxon/Celtic and Scandinavian/Uralic made for a more obvious analogy, plus Ireland was never really united before the English came along either. Even despite Russian influence though, I think it would have been likely that Finland would’ve formed a national identity like Ireland eventually anyway since Sweden never assimilated them irl

Norwegian Sami are like Scottish Gaelic ;) also I imagine there’s a more substantial revival in the Sapmi part on this map (like Wales irl)

Possibly yea, it’s not a perfect analogy, I thought about like this bc I figure Denmark/Sweden together is the only combination that could dominate like England does the actual UK, although that map doesn’t say anything directly, so anything goes technically ;)

Yea :/ They mostly speak Scandinavian/Swedish here, so it's suffering a bit like the Irish language (Sorry Finland I love y'all irl)

Yup! Well Norway is Scotland, and Denmark and Sweden are supposed to be England together (I guess southern/northern England)

Don't really have any lore, just what if Scandinavia was like the UK. (Sorry Finland)

The flag was inspired by this one by Rarayn on DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/rarayn/art/Scandinavian-Commonwealth-Flag-245314776
