A unified kingdom was formed around AD 985, and the heyday of the Vikings entered the Viking Age from the 8th to the 11th century. It became one of the powerful powers in Europe in the 14th century.

Finland is the hometown of Santa Claus. The earliest residents were the Lapps, so Finland is also called Lapland. After the Finns moved in, they established the Grand Duchy of Finland.

Although Iceland is located on the edge of the Arctic Circle, its climate is suitable due to the influence of the North Atlantic War Current.
