Turn One (1800)
The Swedish Empire, aiming to unite Northern Europe, declares war on Denmark-Norway. Sweden succeeded in annexing Northern Jutland, Bornholm, and Narvik. However, the casualties are high and still rising, and a lot of Swedish ships were lost or sunk in the northern seas. Sweden, eager to colonize again, sends an expedition to present-day Djibouti. Although the native there welcome the Swedes, 342 out of the 700 Swedes died or went missing when traveling around Africa. Sweden also signs an alliance pact with France and Spain and sent an alliance request to Russia.

Turn Two (1801)
Sweden continues the occupation/annexation of Denmark-Norway and manages to annex the Jutland peninsula and Bodø. However, casualties are high. Sweden also commences the invasion of Iceland. An unknown disease has sprung up in Gotland, and 4 people were killed by it within two weeks (another 11 are proven infected and 6 are unsure if infected). Swedish scientists rush to Gotland to observe the disease. The Swedish settlement in Djibouti is successful, and the colony of 'Swedish Darborjanland' is formed, though many pirates faithful to the Islam religion are pirating Swedish trade & passenger ships in the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Tensions rise between Islamic nations.
