England is occupying all of Norwegian North America and Africa, and dealing with the consequences. Both they and Belgium are reasonably democratic, IIRC. Australia is, I think, English, but honestly it's been years of game time since I looked at that corner of the world. For all I know the space lizards have invaded it. And yes, China is a brutal Stalinist dictatorship, quite as nasty in their own lovable way as the Ynglings, although without the racial overtones. Although mind you, the Ynglings may talk a good game about their bloodline descent from King Olaf of Norway, but by this point there have been so many extensions of the privilege for reasons of "otherwise the empire would collapse in multiple civil wars" that the elite, at least, recognises it for the propaganda it is. It's not impossible that the Yngling caste could be extended to, say, "all white Europeans living in the Empire before 1940" or some similar subset. It depends a bit on how the war goes, to be sure. But honestly, at this point I'd be just as happy to see the Ynglings go down in flames, just because it would be such a cool AAR to write! I'll fight my best to avoid it, though.
