My country would be a constitutonal monarchy called Midgård.
It's territories would include the borders of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Slesvig, Northern England and Normandie in france as well as Newfoundland. Finland and Estonia would be welcome to join if they wanted to :)
State religion would be norse paganism, although it wouldn't be practiced as much as there being institutions that were museum-like and simply told the stories and contained art and stuff.
The basic human rights as defined by the french revolution would be implemented. I would be the great king, and act as a ceremonial head of state, living in a big castle.
Government would consist of a parliamentary where parties got seats proportial to their share of votes. However there would be a 4% block rule to prevent the parliamentary from being flooded with parties. Regions would be divided into communes, which handled most state-run stuff. Education up to university would be free to ensure social mobility and boost individual oppurtunity. Healthcare would be state-run with universal health ensurance, with some fees to keep costs down. Taxes on a similar level to what they are today in scandinavia. There would be laws in place to keep media bias down, (a news show can only show news, not give opinions).
The flag would be in the colurs red white blue and yellow and feature two ravens and a hammer as motive. (background white, ravens yellow and blue, hammer red)
Defence budget would be relatively small but the most recources would go towards the navy and air force. Tanks carriers and aircrafts would be domestically produced.
Capital would be Gothenburg.
I LOVE ICELAND!
