Distrikts of the Landsdel of Norrland

Upon the conclusion of the Aisuyochi War, administrators in both the national capital of Nya Stockholm, and the landsdel's administrative center of Norrahuvudstad found themselves confronted with a problem that had been brewing for several decades.

It had been decided early in Vinland's history that its internal borders would be dictated by the lay of the land, rather than by arbitrary and often troublesome arbitrary lines following various latitudes and longitudes. Almost all of Vinland's eight landsdelar had been formed with a clear historical or hydrographic basis in mind. Thus, when Scandinavian cartographers and surveyors set out to formalize the borders of the landsdelar of Vinland in the 1860s, they did so with the goal of creating reasonable boundaries that logically divided the distinct and diverse regions of the colony.

Nya Sverige comprised the oldest portions of Vinland, and was bounded by the drainage basin of the Gulf of Saint Birgitta (OTL Saint Lawrence) in the north, and by the Bredvatten (OTL Ottawa River) in the south. Dammark was simply the Vinlandic portion of the drainage basin of the Stora Sjöarna (OTL Great Lakes). The Västermark comprised the entirety of the nation's prairie breadbasket, containing the drainage basins of all rivers whose mouths hit the Eriksson Sea (OTL Hudson Bay) below the 60th parallel North. Haroldstad was formed from the drainage basins of the rivers which emptied into the Pacific south of the American colony of Scottson, while Adlö, a contraction of the highly unwieldy 'Adolphusö' (Adolphus Island, OTL Vancouver Island), comprised the large, offshore islands on the Pacific coast. Helluland was formed from the arctic archipelago, while the final two landsdelar, Markland and Norrland, were formed from whatever was left over.

While this solution worked reasonably well for Markland, Norrland wound up encompassing flat subarctic coastline on the Bering Sea, the highest mountains in the nation, vast tracts of boreal forest, arable farmland at its extreme southern fringes, and open tundra in the east. While this mattered little at the time when Norrland was first designated, the development of the land would see it develop in many different directions. The full extent of the coastline was settled by Skraeling Inuit, who remain there to this day. The forested interior remains largely undeveloped save for a few pioneer roads, trading towns, skraeling villages and mining prospects. The south has developed much like its neighbours in the Västermark, growing several successful agricultural towns. Finally, the northwest has boomed, powered by rich placer and hard rock deposits of gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc.

By comparison, the addition of a few thousand Japanese settlers in the area acquired after the Aisuyochi War was nearly inconsequential.

To resolve the difficult task of managing such a vast and diverse land, the Riksdag of Vinland began to float several solutions. One popular early idea was to subdivide Norrland, though this proposal was quite unfeasible due to the already very low population of the region. It held barely over one hundred thousand people in an area the size of western Europe. General agreement arose, however, from a variety of proposal regarding the subdivision of Norrland into a variety of distrikts, each possessing a degree of autonomy within Norrland. A form of this rather light governance, wherein standardized offices staffed by officers of the Vinlandskridningpolis provided mail service, policing, and various other assorted duties, had been exercised in the old region of Österscottson with reasonable success over the previous decade. Though Österscottson had now been fully integrated into Norrland proper, it was expected hoped that this localization of administration would provide the solution to the challenges of maintaining the rule of Vinlandic law in the vast north.

Alyeska Distrikt
Formed from the portion of Aisuyochi annexed by Vinland in the Treaty of Konradsköping, Alyeska remains essentially a placeholder, until better understanding can be gleaned of the area's geography and demographics.

Gylland Distrikt
Containing the vast majority of the Vildaflod drainage basin, Gylland is united by containing the vast majority of Norrland's modern mining development.

Trämark Distrikt
The core and most populated region of Norrland, Trämark is named for its vast forests. It is notable both for containing the only land route into the rest of Norrland, and for its relatively sizeable skraeling population.

Vildamark
Not a distrikt in of itself, but rather an area whose allocation has not yet been decided. Trämark is very closely connected to this area by rail, but the region's hydrology suggests that this area ought to be part of Gylland. The region's major settlement, Vitahästar, has an economy powered by transportation, receiving raw ores from mines in Gylland, before moving them onto trains to be shipped out to the Pacific port of Dimmafjorden, or by inland rail to Västermark's northwestern city of Einarstad.

Fjordland Distrikt
Located due north of Haroldstad, this distrikt is a coastal maze of mountainous islands and thick forests. Though it is in all cases named for its distinctive geographic features, its name remains a point of contention- many refer to this area as 'Nya Norge', in reference to the old homeland and the landsdel of Nya Sverige, while others prefer the less colourful and more descriptive 'Fjordland'. At any rate, the name may soon be less important, as there is a strong movement led by several of Haroldstad's Riksdagsledamöter (Members of the Riksdag) to incorporate this region into their own landsdel, on the basis that Fjordland has more in common with their southern, fishing-based region than the vast and underpopulated north. The area has grown much more in common with Haroldstad in recent years, largely in part to the numerous military bases established in the area during the Aisuyochi War.

Naslund
A border region that, like Vildamark, is not being put forward as a district, Naslund was an area contested between Norrland and Haroldstad, due to ambiguity in the definition of Haroldstad's border. The southern landsdel contained all of the watersheds draining into the Pacific ocean south of Scottson- but the drainage basin of the River Nas could be either north or south of the southernmost point of Scottson, depending on whether or not one considered the southernmost point of land, or the southernmost point of territorial water.

Tundramark Distrikt
A vast region largely considered uninhabitable by Vinlanders, this eastern distrikt is actually quite well-populated by skraeling Inuit, close cousins of the Hellulanders. While the area's distinctness serves as an almost automatic qualifier for status as a distrikt of Norrland, numerous voices in the Riksdag suggest that this whole area should be transferred into Helluland, in citing the many similarities between the mainland and island Inuit, and the ease of managing both populations under a single flag.
 
January 1st, 1927

In early 1926, a deal was struck between the remaining western military leaders and President Wallace, allowing statehood to be spread across the entirety of the United States. The Federal Government quickly moved to establish territorial governments where the military system once ruled, and the armies were incorporated into the restored United States Army, which was then used to maintain order in a period of political chaos in the west. The Oregon Military District was the only district to maintain its territory, though it was split into two states. The divide was drawn along the Colombia River, with the southern half being established as State of Oregon, and the northern half being established as the State of Washington, taking the name of the First President.

The remaining territories did not get off so easily. Wallace decided to give priority to the outer districts, and the Franklin Military District was transformed into the Franklin Territory, and expanded to include the trimmings from the other territory as it gained statehood, with the intention to carve it up into several different states after the other territories had gained statehood.

Four other states were created during 1926. The State of Iowa was carved out of the southernmost section of the Dakota Military District. Much of the Kansas Military District primarily became the State of Kansas, but the western part of it along with the eastern part of the Denver Military District became the State of Nebraska. Speaking of the Denver Military District, the northern portion of the district was transferred to Franklin Territory, and the remaining portion of the district along with part of the Utah Military District became the State of Denver.

What remained of the Dakota Military District after the Iowa Territory was broken off and quickly granted statehood was transformed into the Dakota Territory. The Dakota Territory would not retain its remaining territory though, the western portion of the territory was transferred to the Franklin Territory and the remnants were split in two, with the northern half becoming the Itasca Territory and along with the Dakota Territory being placed along the path to statehood. The portions of the Utah Military District that did not become part of the State of Denver became the Utah Territory, and by the end of the year was close to becoming the State of Utah. Similarly, the Lee Military District was transformed into the Donebi Territory, only losing a sliver of it's north-easternmost territory to the Franklin Territory, and quickly began to undergo the process to become the State of Donebi.

EQ: I put Washington and Oregon in their proper OTL places, I just couldn't get used to Seattle, Oregon and Portland, Washington.
 
Just got one problem with that. Combine the two penninsulas of michigan... My home state has to be the greatest of them all :mwaha:.
 
Please, just check my location. :rolleyes:

edit: Thanks SK! I gave it a terrible name on purpose, because I couldn't think of anything decent quickly so I figured somebody would complain and give me a better idea. I can't use Duluth because I believe it's a part of Wisconsin, but Itasca is a fine name!
 
Yay, a fellow Michiganian. :p
 
@EQ Would I be correct in assuming that Guangxi is in possession of Shanghai and Nanjing? The Yangtze seems to form most of the border between Japanese China and Guangxi, and both Nanjing and Shanghai are on its southern bank.
 
Cost-Efficient Armored Designs

Armored Car: M2B (USA)
Light Armor: too expensive atm
Medium Armor: Tonneau Victorioux (Confederation)
Heavy Armor: T-20 (Russia)


To: World
From: India

India is creating an Armored Car design in 1927 with 1 Gun, 1 Armor and 4 Engines and is looking for 2 partners willing to invest 30 EPs each in return for full domestic production rights using their own set of blueprints. India will invest 60 EPs in return for full domestic production rights and the right to export domestically produced units.

For those more interested in aircraft there is also a project to create a Fighter with 5 Guns, 10 Engines and 10 Aerodynamics, based off of the Mayura-24. Those who wish to collaborate on this project or upgrade an existing or planned purchase of the Mayura design (repeat customers (including unit purchasing customers) will be granted especially attractive prices) are welcome to contact India on this matter, as we will not be soliciting open applications to such a sensitive project.
 
Scott would want it this way. :mischief:

It's not the statehood that bothers me. It's breaking up the MD's and renaming them to reflect what they are OTL, turning the USA into a less kickass version of its OTL self. It sickens me. :p
