The Lion of the North
Sweden had grown with ease in the late hundred years. Subdueing its neighbours of Denmark and Norway. The Glorious nation of the North looked eagerly to bring out the russians out of Scandinavia...and to same the Protestantic Germans from the filthy Catholic grasp of the Holy Roman Empire, one of the worlds mightiest nations, a land forced equal to those of the hordes of the east but with equipment of the old Feudal states in Europe.
Gustavus Adolphus...the new King of Sweden had the old war on England to handle which his predecessor left him.
The Nation of Sweden consisted of almost all of Scandinavia, Holestein as an Vassal and vassalage. Prussia, Teutonic Order and Wurthemburg as Allies to the grand alliance of the North
The King was a formidable leader, both off and on the battlefield. Sweden had a decently large army with godo equipment. The only thing the nation lacked was a formidable navy.
Since of the Throne was taken over and the Colonizing Englishmen together with Bremen or what simular foolish germanic "tribe" That joined em was a nail in the eye Gustavus II Adolphus, or a he was known in Sweden Gustav II Adolf, sent of a small task force to North America. a Conquestador! To occupy English towns and trade outposts of the Northern America.
At the same time Evert Horn was ordered to make a joint attack on English Flandern, a important trade town for the English that didn't occupy enough on main Europe to prove to be a larger threat. The war had only just begun, but the months went by and the English which seemed to only burn down Swedish trade out posts and hunt down Swedish vessels on the sea's saw themself managing to stop the small task force from Sweden in their colonial lands but Evert Horns occupation and sacking of the town was to much and 200 ducats was offered in a peace treaty.
this gave the King a chance to look at other foes...While his other officers was busy in other parts he himself had plotted out something...
The Russian Orthodox had been in The Scandinavian main land for to long, The protestant faith had to be thought back to the old people of Scandinavia, either by their own will or an axe....with luck they had not changed their view upon god and his faithfuls.
Although...Russia had some powerful allies. Austria, The Central power of Europe! Genoa...a larger trading power that had captured Mecklemburg! And Licester...or how It now was spelled...A nation the Swedish council and its King barely knew exsisted.
