Norwegian Water Policies
National waters Require a permit to pass through.

Protected waters require both a permit, and inspection to be accessed.

OOC: More to come, think of this as a fact book, it'll be linked through the advertisement in my sig.

An OOC Note:
I do not recognise wars that are not preplanned. Period. Alright, In retrospect, I will recognise unplanned wars IF AND ONLY IF I get involved by proxy. IE; War was never declared on me, but by some strange action, aggressive attacks are made on my people.
I have taken steps to avoid war IC, but that won't stop most people, so once again, if you don't plan the war with me, I don't recognise it.
I do not recognise "lulz" RP against or within my nation without prior consent from me.
I uphold a polite contact policy. If you have a problem with me, my conduct, or my RP; Do not hesitate to PM me, or, as is more convenient for me most of the time, contact me on MSN. I will get back to you.
I do not recognise spy roles. I put time into RPing and detailing my anti spy defenses, if you want to spy on me, RP it. I'll be accommodating, and not just turn you away, I will not godmod, but if you want in, bloody RP it.
I do not recognise any RP that undermines my prior RP in my land. You can't go back on how I RP my people, my defenses, or my protocols. If you invade me, there is an entire page on what my citizens think of different groups and people, you will follow it. You cannot stroll over my defenses. You cannot stroll over my terrain. You cannot ignore that I've done a lot in the last year (sort of) of RPing the same nation.

I' sorry to be direct, but this is how I'm doing things. I am always happy to accommodate other RPers, but I will hold to these.

Biography:

Dr. Sherbert J. Komeil

Age: 34
Marital Status: There are currently Twelve Women Registered as "Wife of Sherbert J. Komeil." All have children.
Family Status: Two living relatives, his Father High Duke Chester Archibald Komeil, and Ampua Omavaltainen Komeil. Family records only go back to Dr. Franz Komeil, whom died in the early 20s of spontaneous combustion.
Biography: Sherbert J. Komeil was born in 1975, delivered in his parents' small farm in Southern Finland. At age two, Komeil, up to that point an exceptionally intelligent toddler, was subject to what is best described as Ceiling fan collision. At age five, Komeil left his home under mysterious circumstances, all that is known is that Komeil's mother had died. Less than six months later, Komeil was entered into an experimental program aimed at teaching and training children in the arts of combat and special forces to create a better soldier. In the Early Nineties, Komeil saw his first combat in a dispute in Northern Russia. After this time, Komeil vanished for three years, returning with a seemingly real doctorate in the field of Fungus-es, and a police tail. Come the year 2000, Komeil had spent one year in prison, and immediatly afterwords, used a connection in the Ubersteinian Government to get a job. In 2008, He and his childhood freind Baggs Q. Headington founded Armed Diplomats International. He currently lives in the ADI headquarters building, cooking what could only be low quality rat poison, and learing how to shoot lasers from his eyes.

Baggs Q. Headington, Esq.

Age: 37
Marital Status: Single
Family Status: Father is Dead, Mother Martha Hedgley, hiding in Ceuta to dodge an outstanding murder warrant
Biography: Baggs was born Samuel Hedgley in the year 1972. At age six, Baggs' father was brutally murdered by a man whom he falsely accused of murder. His mother separated from his father and long vanished, and his father dead, Baggs was placed into an orphanage until he was chosen for an experimental program aimed at teaching and training children in the arts of combat and special forces to create a better soldier. In the Early Nineties, Baggs saw his first combat in a dispute in Northern Russia. After the war, Baggs left the program to go to college. Though poor, Baggs graduated from Harvard law in 1997, and preceded to continue schooling in the culinary world, all the time laying guitar on the street for extra money. Between 2000 and 2007, Baggs spent much of his time working for a private military contractor, and, quote, "Cleaning up Komeil's messes." In 2008, He and his childhood freind Sherbert J. Komeil founded Armed Diplomats International.

Due to radiation injuries his father took during an experimental treatment process on a patient, Dayus is legally blind, only able to see the faintest colors and shapes; As he describes it, much less of a disability than it would appear, because he had more than enough time to teach himself echolocation as a method of seeing. Heimdall graduated top of his class from Oslo University, where he later got his doctorate. Much like his mother with the environment, Heimdall, while working as a researcher for ADI began to take a political stance on the labour issues in Norway; A stance that would later thrust him into the head of the reformist protesters that technically won the Civil war. Heimdall was chosen by the Provisional government to be the new King of Norway. He now lives in a hogh security apartment in Southport, while he awaits the construction of his new home in Oslo.

Norway Defenses

Notes
"Second Line" defenses act for added protection if the Maritime defenses fail. They consist of a series of underground bunkers, pillboxes, anti air missiles and guns, and defensive walls.They have several openings for road travel, each requiring the traveler show papers, ID, and submit to any searches deemed necessary (See Immigration and Travel Protocol, when I write it)
Mines are activated via wire to make the fields safe in peace time
Only Staging ground officers know the activation codes, it requires one general's code, and one sergeants code to activate
Shore defenses consist of:
Czech hedgehogs
underground bunkers
machine gun nests with close-able blast doors, mines
40mm anti air guns
Anti Ship Missiles
and 16 in anti Ship Guns

Note:
To ensure stealth capabilities, anechoic coatings of radar absorbent materials (RAM) have been used in the load-bearing structures over large areas of the ship. This strategy leads to significant weight saving compared to the conventional construction technique of applying RAM cladding to the external surfaces. The ship's profile has a faceted appearance with no right angle structures and few orientations of reflective panels. Doors and hatches are flush with the surfaces and the windows are flush without visible edge of window aperture and are fitted with radar reflective screens.

Provincial Economy
The Murmansk province is very rich in natural resources and has deposits of over 700 minerals. The main industries of the region are in the sphere of raw material extraction and basic processing. The largest industries are metallurgy (36,6%), electric power-production (22,9%) and food-industry, including fishing (13,7%). The icefree port of Murmansk plays an important role in marine transportation in ADI. The fishing industry is among the most profitable in the region, much of ADI's total fish production. Murmansk is key base for three fishing fleets, including ADI's largest, the Murmansk Trawl Fleet.

The economy of the region is raw material oriented. Main products items are nickel products, apatite concentrate, copper and copper products, aluminum and ferrous metals. The Murmansk Region produces almost 100 percent of ADI's apatite concentrate (approx. 3.7 million tons per year), the majority of nickel, copper, iron ore and iron ore concentrate (approx. 17.7 million and 6.4 million tons a year), and 99% percent of the nation's cobalt.

Large oil and gas resources have been discovered on the shelf of the Barents sea, including the massive Shtokman field - one of the world's largest gas fields with estimated reserves of 3.8 trillion cubic meters. Prospective oil fields could potentially yield up to 40 million tons in the next 10-15 years. Though current mining efforts are yielding massive output, in future years, with greater investment, output could be greatly increased.

Provincial Economy
The city of Tromsø, in the north central part, is the province seat and an Arctic seaport, and seat of the world's northernmost university, renowned for research about the aurora borealis. The University of Tromsø has an astrophysical observatory located in Skibotn . Tromsø is the only municipality with a strong population growth; most of the smaller municipalities experience decreasing populations as the young and educated move to the cities, often in the southern part of ADI. Harstad is a commercial centre for the southern part of the province. Along the coast and on the islands, fishing is dominant. Important ports for the fishing fleet are Skjervøy, Tromsø and Harstad. There is also some agriculture, especially in the southern part, which has a longer growing season (150 days in Harstad). Balsfjord is often regarded to be the most northern municipality with substantial agricultural activity in ADI, although there is also agriculture further north.

The ADI armed forces is a vital employer in Troms, having the seat of the 6th army division, Bardufoss Air Station, helicopter wings and radar stations in the county. There are hospitals in Tromsø (university hospital and main hospital for North Norway) and Harstad.

The busiest airport is Tromsø Airport, Langnes. The southern part of Troms is served by Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes. The E8 road runs from Tromsø to ROM via Nordkjosbotn and the Skibotn valley. There are several large bridges; some of the largest are Tjeldsund Bridge, Mjøsund Bridge, Gisund Bridge, Tromsø Bridge and Sandnessund Bridge. There are several undersea road tunnels; Rolla to Andørja (in Ibestad), Tromsøya to the mainland (Tromsø), Kvaløya to Ringvassøya and Skjervøy to the mainland.

Provincial Economy
Vadsø is the capital city of the county of Finnmark, although Alta has the largest population. Fisheries have traditionally been the most important way of living along the coast, where the majority of the Norwegian population live. The red king crab, originally from the northern Pacific ocean but brought to the Barents sea by the Russians, have invaded from the east and are now being exploited commercially (especially in Varangerfjord). To prevent the crab from spreading too far south, crab fishing west of Nordkapp is totally unregulated. The slate industry in Alta is well known, and a major raw material up for export. Kirkenes grew into a town as the exploitation of the iron ores started, and has only grown since the mining programs in ADI began to pick up.

In more recent years, tourism has grown in importance, with Nordkapp (North Cape), Alta and Hammerfest as the most important destinations.

There are two hospitals in Finnmark, located in Kirkenes and Hammerfest. There are a total number of eleven airports, but only Alta Airport and Kirkenes-Høybuktmoen Airport have direct flights to Svalbard, or out of the nation. In addition, Lakselv-Banak Airport in Porsanger is used for training purposes by the ADI Corporate Air Force and other TEC allies, in conjunction with the nearby Halkavarre shooting range, which allows for practice with precision guided munitions. Garnisonen i Porsanger is also located near Halkavarre training area. There is also the Garnisonen i Sør-Varanger (Gsv) in the east, which acts as a major military routing and organizational station. Hammerfest is now experiencing an economic boom as a consequence of Statoil's construction of the large land-based LNG site at Melkøya, which will get natural gas from the Snøhvit field. A new oil field was recently discovered just 45 km off shore , close to the Snøhvit field.

There is also optimism in the eastern part of the province, as the growing petroleum activity in the Barents Sea is expected to generate increased economic activity on land as well.


NOTE: The Loppa municipality, home to 1,294 citizens, is the only with a Nordland supporting party acting as a majority within the nation.

Economic activity centers on coal mining, and manufacturing, and is supplemented by fishing and trapping. Recently, tourism, research, higher education, and some high-tech enterprises like satellite relay-stations and radiation monitoring stations grew significantly. A 200 nautical mile (370 km) Fisheries Protection Zone around Svalbard is established to lessen strain on natural schools.

Exploration for oil and natural gas is underway, and finding good preliminary results.

There are large coal mines in Sveagruva (production 2 million tonnes per year, and Barentsburg, while the small mine in New Longyearbyen is used mainly to supply the town's own power plant. There are less permanent mining operations across the North of the province that remain active between late Spring and early Fall. These same mines are used in the ASP system to provide power to individual homes and scientific stations in the north, and to cities further south.

New Longyearbyen is a rapidly growing urban center, that's manufacturing capability has greatly increased recently. Year long cold temperatures are benefiting the machinery, and lowering power costs to cool; The increased density of the machinery under cold temperature also ensures a longer time before parts begin to wear down.

Agriculture in the area of Tangier-Ceuta is tertiary and mainly cereal.

The infrastructure of this city of the strait of Gibraltar consists of a port that manages flows of goods and travellers (more than one million travelers per annum) and integrates a marina with a fishing port.

Artisanal trade in the old medinas (old cities) specializes mainly in leather working, handicrafts made from wood and silver, traditional clothing, and shoes of Moroccan origin.

Norwegian Public Opinion Polls
OOC: The is to keep everything straight if I get invaded, as well as show a cross section of my populous. Will update occasionally with new informations, and remove information that is no longer pertinent. If you have a problem with anything here, PM me, don't post it here.

On Nordland:
Most Norwegians are weary of the actions of the Nords. Even in the South, where many of the older Generation grew up under the control of the Greater Nordlandic Reich, Nordic Socialism and Martencism are viewed as fractured ideals perpetuated by madmen and murderers. There are several, albeit minuscule, Nordlandic groups within the nation, but for the most part, they meet in secret to avoid the stigma of believing in such controversial ideals. As one moves further north, one would notice the mild dislike turn to fear and hatred. In Murmansk, people still honor the original fall of Tion, and harbor a deep hatred of Nordanders. In Svalbard, many have made jokes about the militarist and drunken nature of the Nordlanders, making them more a laughingstock and object of ridicule than a true ideology.
Example of an Anti-Nordland Joke that is often told by children:
"Martens visits a lunatic asylum. The patients give the Kaiser a salute. As he passes down the line he comes across a man who isn’t saluting.
'Why aren’t you saluting like the others?' Martens barks.
'Mein Kaiser, I’m the nurse,' he says , 'I’m not crazy!'"
Update: With the recent Parliamentary elections, an assumption held by many statisticians proved accurate, when the Nordlandic Party won several seats in the Norwegian Parliament. It has been postulated that many of those who switched party affiliation were influenced by the recent war towards more extreme Right Wing and Culturally centered parties. Though this shows a slow shift towards greater accepting of the Nordlandic and Martencist ideals, they are still far from the high majority of the Norwegian Conservative Party and Progressive Party.

On Maelstrom Vortex and his death:
Though the Governments official reaction was flying the flags at half mass in honor of his passing, many members of the religious community viewed his passing as a sign of prayers answered by god. This is because of the Chairman's peculiar looks, making him, to quote one concerned Oslo resident, "Look like the devil himself." Maelstrom's odd appearance gave many Norwegians the feeling that he was a harbinger of the apocalypse, and an earthly embodiment of Satan. His death carried with it the ends of the stigma that Dragonisia was a state dedicated to Satan, and will likely make Dragon-Norwegian relation improve in the near future.

On Nordheim/ Greater Gemany:
Feelings are mixed about this militarist, ever growing nation. Many in the North view this as a thinly veiled attempt by Martencists to reform the Nordland. These same people refuse to recognise the claims that the nation has zero unemployed, and almost zero crime, stating that even the smallest of communities have thieves and liars. The northerners also state that the Nordheim civil war was only a ruse to create a feeling in other nations that the Nordheim people truly desire an authoritarian Dictatorship. Further south however, people, although garnering the same fears of a Martencist neighbor, do not cary the deep seated mistrust that is common in the north.

On the Former World Leader Sarah Tintagyl:
Almost unanimously throughout the nation, the Lady Protector has drawn an almost religious following for her strength through various hardships and ability to spread peace and compassion to whatever land she treads upon.

On Ubersteinia:
Baron Erwin Uberstein is viewed by many Norwegians as a savior and Unifier. A portrait of Uberstein adorns many a town hall and Government building alike, right beside an image of King Harald V. Throughout the nation, many still fly Ubersteinian Flags along with their Norwegian ones, and at least three monuments to Uberstein (One statue and two large plaques) exist within the nation. That all said, though Uberstein is well loved in Norway, he exists as more of a folk hero than a unifier in modern Norwegian culture. Now, over ten years since Ubersteinia collapsed, many Norwegians have resisted moving to join another nation led by Uberstein, fearing another collapse and sacrifice to the Nordlanders. Still, many Norwegians have made a habit of Visits to Finland to be under the protection of their former leader, just for a little while.

On Rebel Army:
Rebel Army is a nation deeply ingrained into Norwegian Popular culture from the Ubersteinian age. Many young adults grew up on stories of the Great, Nobel Rebel Army; A Bastion of Freedom and Integrity. This made it all the more hard to stomach as the nation moved towards a more isolationist, violent being. Recent events have shattered the Romanticized view of RA, including the signing of the Eurasian Union pact, as well as the support of the Novakian revolution, both of which have been greatly criticized in the Norwegian Press. Though some still hold on to the belief that RA is a land of Good Intentions, most feel it is a nation past it's prime, fallen into a pit of destruction and corruption.

On Carthage:
Public opinion of Carthage in Norway is constantly fluctuating, but in general, feelings are poor. Many find their aggression, especially towards Norway, to be a sign of their dishonesty and poor manner. Even after our brief spat of diplomacy with them, they are the first nation that the majority of the public voiced the desire to declare war upon. Though feelings have got progressively better, their constant need to go to war, and close the straits of Gibraltar (Detrimental to our economy) has created a large amount of distrust and even hatred towards the North African nation.

On Generalissimo, Generalissimo of Procinctia:
Generalissimo is viewed in Norway like no other man ever born. It is rare that a Norwegian Tabloid can go a day without printing another rumor about him, and even though many are less than becoming to his person and character, he remains a symbol of greatness, sex, wealth, general awesomeness, and genius in the nation. The most common way of describing the great man is written below, and truly shows his reputation:
Generalissimo, Generalissimo of Procinctia, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty.
The interpretation of the above varies wildly from person to person, but most often, it is believed that Generalissimo forced himself into being from a bar of gold, two cows, a viper, a steel I beam, and the testicles of an elephant by shear willpower and black magic. No one has attempted to disputed this theory.

Norwegian National Security
Norwegian National Security is preserve and kept up through three separate Government institutions; The Border Patrol, National Immigration Regulation Committee, and Norwegian Internal Intelligence.

Border Patrol
Founded as a means to oversee and protect the borders in peace times, the Border Patrol is a highly organized police force that prevents illegal immigration, as well as oversees possible threats to the national security coming from the outside. The Border Patrols maintains the civilian border crossings, as well as nation wide security checkpoints.

National Immigration Regulation Committee (NIRC)
The NIRC is the board that oversees all incoming immigrants, measures them for security risks, and distributes National Papers. The NIRC, though having little to no actual power, is in charge of overseeing, tracking, and approving each and every application for Norwegian citizenship. Originally formed to guard the nation against spies, the NIRC makes certain that only desirable individuals may become permanent citizens, or receive Visas for work.

Norwegian Internal Intelligence (NII)
The NII acts as a more long term NIRC, guarding the nation from internal threats. The NII keeps tabs on "Likely Terrorist Activity," as well as any suspicious activities and crimes committed nationwide. The NII also must approve of all Visa extensions, and renewal of Papers, meaning that they can keep tabs on citizens, at least on a yearly basis.

Norwegian National Coast Guard
The Coast guard is tasked with protecting the nations National waters, as well as maintaining and regulating those allowed into the nations waters. Though technically a branch of the Navy, the Coast Guard operates more on the pencil pushing end, issuing transit permits through National Waters.

Norwegian Security Protocols
Border Patrol
The Norwegian Border Patrol is a strong, and proud group of men and women, who take their task very seriously. Much like the NIRC, the Border Patrol uses many of the same practices used in the ADI age. The first thing taught to a Norwegian Border patrolman is the simple three part mantra of the group; Inspection, Detection, Protection. The process of a normal border patrol is detailed below:
1: Car or truck pulls in to Border patrol station.
2: As the car moves through "Arch One," it is stopped and visually scanned using a 360 degree camera array that scans all possible angles of the car (Including beneath)
3: The car moves through "Arch Two," where it is once again asked to stop. In this section, Drug and explosive "sniffing" devices check the car for weapons and illegal substances. (The unauthorized transport of Drugs [prescription or otherwise] and weapons is a punishable defense. Depending on the nature of the violation, the charge can be anything from a small fine, or permanent deportation, to jail time.)
4: Car moves to Arch Three, where visas are checked, drivers license is checked for Norwegian Validity (Only some national drivers licenses are accepted in Norway), and a pass is issued for the car to drive through Norway. The pass is time sensitive. At the arch, the driver will be asked how long they will be in Norway, and the pass will be set to allow two days over (For complications that may arise.)

Immigration
Immigrating into Norway is a rather challenging, but fulfilling process. Many of the security measures put in during the ADI age are still in effect to make certain that undesirables are unable to attain citizenship. The process of becoming a citizen is detailed below:
1: Pass standard border checks
2: At the section's Immigration center, register your car, and file for temporary Immigration Approval Visa (IAV)
3: Once given an IAV, you have three months to find a job, buy or lease a home or apartment, and prepare for your First Citizenship tests
3a: If you fail to find a residence and job, you will be deported for a period of three months before you may reapply for an IAV
3b: To even be elligilble for citizenship, you must present records from your home land signifying birth, insurance, zero criminal record, and any other requested information.
3b2: If you fail to present these, and continue to do so until your IAV expires, you will be deported.
4: Take a standard Citizenship Screening Test (CST), which gauges your ability to function in society, as well as looking for certain patterns that come up in people whom may be spies. (The test involves many personal questions on your motive for immigrating as well as on your personal history)
5: After receiving and passing their CST, the prospective citizen must wait through an Observation period of Six months. In this time, they will be occasionally re-tested (At random intervals. Generally, there will be one per month, or up to three in a single month), have their purchases and movements carefully followed, and will be expected to retain their job and home.
5a: Or, one may refuse this process, and remain a Norwegian Resident, not able to vote or hold office.
5b: During this time, the applicant must file any intent to move their residence, leave their home city, purchase a new car, use any controlled substances, purchase a firearm, or change professions with their NIRC case worker.
5c: During this time, the applicant will be expected to pay state taxes. No national taxes must be payed (As the Applicant is not yet a citizen of the nation, but is a resident of the state). Any failure to pay taxes will be met with (if a first offense) a warning from their NIRC case worker, (If second offense) a fine of 3000 Kr, or (If third offense) deportation. If deported for such a crime, citizenship will be denied permanently to the applicant.
6: After the Observation period, the prospective citizen will be given a final citizenship test (Norwegian Citizenship Exam or NCE), that gauges basic knowledge of Norwegian laws, Culture, and history.
6a: If they fail, they may take a retest after a clearance period of two weeks. A failure of three tests will require the applicant to repeat the CST and Observation period, at their own payment
7: After passing the NCE, the Prospective citizen will be taken to have their official papers made, their car registration and licenses updated to Citizen status, and be issued an official passport. With becoming a citizen comes the right to vote, own property, and travel freely throughout the nation. After officially becoming a citizen, the NIRC will continue to track movements for another year

Applying for National Waters Entrance Permits
1: Contact Coast Guard Oslo Headquarters stating your intent to enter National Waters.
2: Coast Guard will classify you as: Civilian (C1-Permit), Civilian Commercial (C2-Permit), Civilian Freight (C3-Permit), Military Freight (M1-Permit), Military Transport (M2-Permit), or Military (M3-Permit)
3: Coast Guard will send permit application forms out. (Of course, it is much harder to get military permits than Civilian ones)
4: After receiving permit applications, the Coast Guard will collect the Permit Application Fee, and issue the permits accordingly.
Note: The Coast Guard Reserves the right, as accepted in the Permit Application Forms, to search and seize property found on ships as they see fit, as well as arrest and hold the crews should there be suspicion of committed crimes. The time held can be no more than 48 hours if no charges are pressed, after which the crew and goods will be returned to their ship in full.
Note 2: Norwegian Protected waters require the same permit process, but include time restraints and searches become mandatory for all vessels.
(More to come)

OOC NOTE: If you are try to spy on me, PM me. There is only one GM ruling I don't recognise: Spy rolls, so don't try to pull that. I won't god mod if you do it my way, but I won't take the roll.

Norwegian Government Agencies
With the Progressiveness boom in Norway, and massive increase in the passage of government Acts, the number of Government Agencies has boomed into record numbers. They are described below:

Security Agencies
Border Patrol
Founded as a means to oversee and protect the borders in peace times, the Border Patrol is a highly organized police force that prevents illegal immigration, as well as oversees possible threats to the national security coming from the outside. The Border Patrols maintains the civilian border crossings, as well as nation wide security checkpoints.

National Immigration Regulation Committee (NIRC)
The NIRC is the board that oversees all incoming immigrants, measures them for security risks, and distributes National Papers. The NIRC, though having little to no actual power, is in charge of overseeing, tracking, and approving each and every application for Norwegian citizenship. Originally formed to guard the nation against spies, the NIRC makes certain that only desirable individuals may become permanent citizens, or receive Visas for work.

Norwegian Internal Intelligence (NII)
The NII acts as a more long term NIRC, guarding the nation from internal threats. The NII keeps tabs on "Likely Terrorist Activity," as well as any suspicious activities and crimes committed nationwide. The NII also must approve of all Visa extensions, and renewal of Papers, meaning that they can keep tabs on citizens, at least on a yearly basis.

Norwegian Military Police (NMP)
The NMP is tasked to act as a police force on military bases and in issues regarding military members. They serve long term roles on large military bases, and in Military housing and urban centers. They are also tasked with aiding in the investigation of crimes committed by or agaisnt members of the Norwegian military.

Norwegian Bureau of Investigation and Safety (NBIS)
The NBIS acts both as an individual agency, and as the arm of the NII. They are responsible for investigation of National crimes (Any crime that takes place over two provinces), Class V crimes (Serial offenders and prison breakouts) and terrorist activities. They work closely with the NII, and NSCB to track down terrorist activity and large government aid extortion rings.

Public Service Agencies
National Recovery Board (NRB)
The NRB was created in the last few hours that Norway was under the provisional Government. It is tasked with overseeing the economic recovery of the nation until production and monetary systems have reached pre-war levels.

National Social Care Bureau (NSCB)
The NSCB is tasked with meeting with those applying for monetary or medical aid to make sure the person requesting both deserves and needs it. They only have the ability to oversee the aid being given out under the National Reconstruction Act, the Aged and Sick act and the Health and Wellness Act.

Norwegian Government Acts, Royal Decrees and Important Legislature

National Acts:
National Defense Act:
Initially passed during the reorganization of Norwegian Provinces during the ADI age, the National Defense Act authorized the government to construct and maintain permanent military defenses along the coast, as well as set aside the Solovetsky Islands as a government controlled municipality for military use. (Note: This was passed as a government Act because, as stipulated by the ADI constitution that the Central Government could not undertake projects in states without approval, and states could not take military expenditures without Congressional approval. In the modern time, the government could build the defenses with a simple vote in the senate.)

ADI Nationalization Act:
Passed almost immediately after the shift into the Kingdom of Norway era (During the Short lived Republic of Norway), the ADI Nationalization Act was passed to merge ADI (The company) into the state to ensure production while new economic assets were constructed, as well as to produce the nation's military technology.

National Unity and Culture (Norwegianization) Act
The Norwegianization acts were passed as one of the last moves by the short lived Republic of Norway before its disbandment. The Act created several public works programs, as well as ensure the destruction of large, Nordlandinc monuments and return of the Norwegian Monarchy.

Reconstruction Act
The Reconstruction Act was separated from the Norwegianization act b a movement from the Conservative members of the parliament to try and ensure the passage of the Norwegianization, but not Reconstruction acts. (Ironically, both passed by a large margin).

Commonwealth Acts
The Commonwealth Acts, passed by the Provisional Government during their first official meeting, are number of bills that are intended to rebuild the economy, as well as prevent a situation where another dispute may occur. Those bills are The Commonwealth Act, The Crown Act, The Impeachment and Dismissal Acts, The Transport Act, and the Health and Wellness Act.

National Reconstruction Act (2nd Great Construction)
The National Reconstruction Act (Known by most as the Second Great Construction), was passed by the parliament not long after the Provisional Government was dissolved. The act allows all people whom have lost valuables during the war, to be repaid for their losses up to 700,000 Kroner, for any family who's house was entirely destroyed to have their house rebuilt on the bill of the Government, and put money into the completion of several projects that were promised but never completed by the former government, such as the Pan-Norwegian Railway, new freeways and roads in Rural areas, and construction of a standardized education system.

National Aged and Sick Act
The National Aged and Sick act was passed alongside the National Reconstruction act to further refine the Health and Wellness act. It guarantees monetary aid to those who have debilitating disabilities, diseases and who have passed the age of seventy to ensure that they maintain a basic standard of living.


Royal Decrees
Royal Decree No. 1
Royal Decree Number One guarantees that Norway, for the betterment of life within the nation, will become neutral in all international conflicts and wars. This removes the ability for Norway to declare aggressive war, and lowers the numbers of Norway's standing army substantially.

Royal Decree No. 2
Decree Number Two guarantees the right for Norway to protect the lands of Scandinavian nations that have fallen into anarchy in order to preserve their cultures and heritage.

Royal Decree No. 3
Decree Number Three guarantees that all products bought and sold in Norway from elsewhere in Scandinavia will be free of internal and external tariffs in order to promote international business and friendship with other Scandinavian Nations.

Royal Decree No. 4
Decree Number Four announces Norway's right to construct Nuclear arms. This is then followed by a guarantee that , Norway will not, under any circumstances, use these weapons unless first having them used against the homeland as part of an aggressive strike.
