Meaning that Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland have no monarchies, duchies, etc. of any kind by 2011. No stipulations on what the alternative governments are, but is it doable with a POD of 1900?
Maybe if one of the Nordics ally themselves with Germany in WW1/WW2 and their monarchy is ousted by the victorious allies/entente?
Seems quite unlikely though...
I am not confident of that, though I grant that that was a common view in Norway at the time.Norway needed a monarchy to become independent in 1905, so that year is out of the question.
The one that is easiest to get to ally with the Alliance is probably Sweden... but the problem is, the easiest way to get Alliance-Sweden would impact the course of the war in a way significantly beyond Sweden's direct military impact, and might jeopardise the Entente's victory. If the Entente still wins, well, Sweden's diplomatic position would not be all that bad (and I note, Bulgaria's monarchy survived in OTL...).Maybe if one of the Nordics ally themselves with Germany in WW1/WW2 and their monarchy is ousted by the victorious allies/entente?

Just have the socialists abolish them when they come to power in said countries.
