Obviously Norway as an independent entity didn't exist at that time, but what are the possibilities of colonies predominantly inhabited by Norwegians in the Atlantic during the 17th-19th centuries?
I ask since myself and a bunch of other AltHistory users are running a forum game set on a fictional New World continent to the east of the Americas, in which players join as indigenous peoples or colonizers, and someone asked if they could be Norwegians. I figured if it's plausible then sure. Hence why this thread exists to gauge that plausibility.
