Scandinavian Empire

Overview
The Socialist Kingdom of Scandinavia is a medium sized empire, occupying Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland, and Netherlands. Founded by Denmark after the Soviet-Danish Dispute of 1916 (which led to the Soviet Occupation of Copenhagen), it eventually conquered Norway and Sweden. During the Spanish-Scandinavian Dispute of 1920, Scandinavia laid claims on Iceland, which was eventually taken by the Soviet Union. This worsen relations with the Soviet Union, and in the Great European War, it sided up with Germany to overthrow Soviet influences around Poland, gaining Karelia and Iceland. During 1925, after a small border confontration, Scandinavia invaded the Netherlands, quickly taking it, although a revolt sooned followed. In the 1930 elections, the SKP (Scandinavian Communist Party) was defeated by the Rightist New Scandinavia Party, a nationalist-conservative coalition.

It's economy is essentially a reformist economy. Until the 1930s, supply and demand, not goverment planning, dominated the production line. There was a none-compeitition basis until 1931, when demand for arms grew and the government needed an inspiration for the workers to work harder. Critics of the Theodar Zahle Act of 1931 said that Scandinavia was not communist anymore. However, this claim was denied by Zahle, who said that many components of communism was there. Followers of his new sect of communism, Zahlism, describe his policy as creating a working's men welfare state, with high tax rates, and private property (and a small private sector, however, largely regulated by the government).
