AHC: Wank Iceland

Here, a map of that Iceland on steroids: ( I added also Svalbard and Bjornoya Island too )

Oh my goodness.

The US Navy wants to be Greater Iceland's bestest ally ever, during the Cold war.

So does the USAF.

Y'all do realize you are right in the crossroads of WWIII, right?

I guess you do. After all, you were pretty much the highway of WWII...
 
Hmm - I have been planning for a while a Vinland-related TL, and a good portion of what you wrote could fit right in perfectly. Well, except for some cultural issues - it is a Battle of Svolder POD which also involves such things like Galicia-wank (Galicia as in the modern-day OTL region of Spain directly north of Portugal and the former Kingdom) and the berserkers finding their way to Vinland, with interesting results amongst the local Aboriginal people. :cool: Or a TL which involves an Orthodox Christian Sweden and/or Finland (also with interesting results, such as the increased conservatism and/or archaism of either the standard Swedish language or the Eastern Swedish dialects).

Feel free to pluck!

Berserkers in Vinland! :cool:
But they still need NUMBERS! If they are to last that is... a cultural fingerprint would be something else.

You could easily do an Orthodox Sweden/Finland. Apparently West Götaland was for a time heavily influenced by Eastern Orthodox culture and had ties to the Novgorod court! ;)
