What the hell are the german's doing in Australia?
Well...
1. Colonization, what else?
2. From Chapter 38, posted a long time ago...
The Great Powers Conference

The Great Powers Conference was the most significant diplomatic and geopolitical event of the 17th century.
Between 15 September 1626 and 10 December 1627, Prague was the virtual Capital of Europe where the Kings and the Emperors of Europe decided its fate for the following decades.

The Conference produced hundreds of documents pertaining to all kinds of more or less important problems.
It also solved several international crises which broke out during the proceedings of the Conference.

[SNIP]

Colonies and Dependencies

It was declared that all Great Powers were entitled to have Colonies and / or Dependencies on other Continents.
The existing non-conflicting claims were officially recognized.
For a new claim to be recognized in the future it had to be enforced with a permanent presence of either colonists or soldiers. Some exceptions were granted.

[SNIP]

Germany:
- All the Mainland and Coastal Islands of the Continent called Terra Australis Incognita.

I'm a bit on the fence on the official name ... Imperium in particular seems very odd, and in this time period it would have a distinct papist sound ... While the correct translation would be Imperiet Skandinavien (lit. 'The Empire (of) Scandinavia') it kinda feels cumbersome ... 'Kejserriget Skandinavien' (its from the same root as Kaiserreich), while still sounding slightly off would still be better to my ear. (also, while the scandinavian languages recognize Kejser as a distinct title, they don't really have a suitable title for a Imperium, other than falling back to either King or diving back into the root of the word and climb back up to Kejser again.

But otherwise nothing particularly sticks out as odd, other than some schematics about the nature of the Scandification of Finland and to a lesser extent Whiteland. If the primary vehicle is all-out colonization with Scandinavian population, farmers and all, or if its more subtle with mainly soldiers, merchants, craftsmen and clergy, and trying to assimilate the Finnish peasants eradicating their culture, language and religion, replacing it with Scandinavian. Some of the same discussions can be used about the attitude towards Sami, if they're going to be semi-forcibly settled instead of being migratory, under direct overlordship, or if they're handled with less of an iron gauntlet.

Scandinavia would in all likelihood be the nation with the largest relative population increases for the rest of the century if not further.

1. Oh.
It shouldn't remain a Kingdom, because it was formed by the merger of 3 Kingdoms and almost everybody else either already upgraded or is going to upgrade to Empire.
It shouldn't remain a Commonwealth, because it was transformed into a Unitary State in 1637.
So, let it be a Kejserriget!

I'll edit it right now... Done.

2. Roman style cultural, linguistic and religious assimilation with only partial, low-level colonization (because there aren't enough Scandinavians, yet).
Probably similar with the Sami.

3. Sure, although they will not overcome France or Germany!

Thanks.
