Authority: Ultimately ruled by Emperor Gustavus II Adolphus, most Swedes in Northern Crown--and specifically in the colony of New Sweden --offer their loyalty more directly to his daughter, the ambitious Princess Cristina. While Cristina rules in the colony in most respects, and is not without strategic capabilities, her father has appointed the more experienced officer Johan Printz to see to the actual defense of the colony.

Law: While Gustavus rules the Swedes in Uropa, he has more than enough to occupy himself there. Swedish characters in Northern Crown can expect varying levels of ease dependent upon their status; merchants and others who promise profit for the colony are granted some lenience, and Princess Cristina is known to favor those in her own social networks beyond propriety. When the princess is occupied, the aging Printz takes matters into his own hands; he takes seriously anything he views as a threat to the already weak position of the colony.

Magic: Officially prohibited by Dissenter churches, magic nonetheless holds a place in the Norsk heritage and folklore of Sweden, and folk magic practiced on a small and subtle scale yet persists. Magic items and artifacts from the ancient past occasionally turn up in the collections of noble families, although most have forgotten their true use.

Religion: Like their rival Nederlanders, the majority of Swedes are Dissenters; open belief in other sects is permitted only where it is not made apparent, and the law expressly forbids worship of other deities. Despite this, vestiges of the Old Ways remain, and many Swedes versed in religious lore have at least a passing familiarity with the stories of the old Norsk gods.

Arts: The rich forests of Sweden produce a variety of woodcarvings, and a revival in architecture as an art has been under way for some time. However, painting and other fine arts remain limited, the few domestic examples being somber and ecclesiastical.

Food: Compared to the fare of other cultures, Swedish food focuses more on hearty, filling mills. Seafood plays a large part in the diet, especially herring and crayfish, as do sweetened breads and pastries, with the occasional reindeer taking the place of cattle or pork in other lands. Hardy roots and tubers, sauerkraut, and berry jams round out the Swedish meal; which is increasingly washed down with coffee, although milk and beer remain constants, and richly mulled wines are popular during the depths of winter.

What is this game that you keep referencing? Is it a board game or video game? And why do you keep posting this stuff?

Are you a person? I think this may just be a bot that took a wrong turn on the internet.
