I remember reading a bit about an obscure bit of the history of the British Isles, in particular an attempted invasion of Scotland by Norway. I'm wondering what could have happened toward the modern era had Scotland been conquered.
One scenario I postulate is that, assuming a development otherwise similar to OTL, that the British Empire rises as only the English Empire, but are opposed by a Scotland whose clans were united, if by force, and who speak Norwegian or a form of it, circa 1700s. By the time of the 1900s, I have the idea in that timeline that Scotland has become a prosperous nation with strong ties to Scandinavia, but that since the loss of Wales and Ireland, England has become a resentful nation and has fallen to a Marxist regime, becoming its world's equivalent to North Korea. Dunno how accurate such a thing would be but I like this kind of role-changing in alternate-history.
Can anyone make up some flags of the alternate Scotland and alternate England in such a scenario? I just thought this'd be nice for a bit of a game.
