The Fennoscandian Split

This term refers to a important moment in the history of Scandinavia. On the 4th of June 2006 a large group of mostly democratic nations departed Scandinavia to a form a new region called Fennoscandia.

The Nations that left

The Majority of the nations that left to form Fennoscandia were democratic & UN members. Long time members of Scandinavia & previous UN delegates such as Frestonia and Gobbo Power were amongst them. The active UN delegate at that time however, Kapellen, stayed in Scandinavia. Two non-democratic nations Quislington and Q World Dominion also left Scandinavia for Fennoscandia. Q World Dominion was shortly ejected from, but allowed to return to Fennoscandia by a decision of the Fennoscandian Security Council; Quislington was ejected and not allowed re-admittance. Quislington returned to Scandinavia.

Reasons for leaving

Some nations felt the I.S.S.P. was restricting their personal freedoms. Should any nation step out of line the I.S.S.P. was there with massive military force to put a nation back in it's place.

The lack of democratic decision power in the region was the main reason that many nations left. They felt their democratic ideals were suppressed by the founder's lack of democratic practice.

Another reason was the arrival of a group of fascist nations perceived as belligerent, of which the most active was Odhinnia, who were allowed to announce and distribute their beliefs, and allegedly aggress small nations and verbally insult all nations with democratic ideas.
