Iceland
Traditions
+1 Yearly navy tradition
-15% Land attrition
I. Restore Althing (+0.3 Yearly republican tradition, -1 National Unrest)
II. Knarr (-15% Light ship cost)
III. Sunstone (+10% Colonial range, +10% Trade range)
IV. Continue Islendingabok (-15% Stability cost/ -0.02% Yearly corruption)
V. Guðbrandsbiblía (+1% Missionary strength)
VI. Sagas (+1 Yearly Prestige/-1% Prestige decay)
VII. Like forefathers (+10 Global settler increase)
Ambitions
+5% Heavy ship combat ability
I. Restore Althing – Founded in 930 Alþingi, was a supreme holder of legislative power in Iceland ensuring law and order. During the years of foreign influence role of our Parliament was greatly reduced. Now when Icelanders acquired some level of freedom it seems reasonable to restore it.
II. Knarr – Although outlanders sail in ships of modern desing, we found that our old cargo ships knerrir can successfully compete with barques and caravels. They are less expansive what should provide us some extra income.
III. Sunstone – “the weather was sick and stormy… The King looked about and saw no blue sky… then the King took the Sunstone and held it up, and then he saw where the Sun beamed from the stone.” Rocks on Iceland hold plenty of high-quality sunstones, they should help our sailors to navigate through the northern seas. Hopefully the knowledge of how to use them won’t be forgotten by future generations..
IV. Continue Islendingabok - Book of Icelanders is a historical work which gives us insight on early Icelandic history, laws, government, administration, settlement and genealogy. In our interest is to collect such data which might help us to solve potential conflicts and prevent embezzlements.
V. Guðbrandsbiblía - The first complete version of the Bible in Icelandic, printed in Hólar College by order of bishop Guðbrandur Þorláksson in AD 1584. (some bullshit text about bringing yokels closer to god and one true faith)
VI. Sagas – Renaissance and baroque are blooming through and through Europe. They are referring to ancient Greece and Rome, but on Iceland we have relics of Vikings. The sagas are magnificent stories about Viking heroes voyages and battles with Prose Edda on the top of them.
VII. Like forefathers – Our forefathers sailed in uncharted waters, discovered and settled land such as Iceland, Greenland and Vinland. Now Spain, France and Great Britain colonize New World, we shall carve some of it for us. Lands of Frisland, Hy-Brasil, Rupes Nigra and Elder Isles await.
Events
The eruption of Laki which occured in 1783 killed about 20–25% of the population of Iceland. Would be nice to actually get event about this in game, we have "Earthquake destroys Lisboa" after all.
About traditions and ambitions.
Navy tradition is quite obvious, Iceland is an island and people living on islands for some reasons prefer to use boats instead of marching on the bottom of the seas. Both provinces of Iceland start with Arctic modifier, that's why I gave them reduced land attrition (you can also explain it with existence of Icelandic Ponies
)
Ambitions is based on "What if..?", their current military is basically a Coast Guard, so bonus for navy seemed like a good idea.
