[edit] History
In the Beginning there were four seemingly small and insignificant nations that banded together to form the Scandinavian Syndicate for their own protection. It was as a result of SdKfz 186 being invaded by Q World Dominion (a Puppet of Gobbo Power) that this Alliance was formed. In response to the invasion of SdKfz 186 the nations of Odhinnia, Wehrwolves, and Nordic Heathens took up arms and drove the Q back to where they came from.
Since this time these nations have expanded from a mere military alliance to being a full alliance. With the grown of these nations and their economies and military especially, the Syndicate has become a Force to Reckoned with in Scandinavia. With military power they have expanded their borders individually to create a greater basis for their trade routes, which are fed by their frighteningly powerful economies.
The Scandinavian Syndicate traditionally supports the I.S.S.P. and all of their decisions/actions.
[edit] Council
The Council are the most powerful nations in the Syndicate. At one time there were 10 nations on the Council, now there are only 6. The Council Chair is elected from the member nations and his vote counts as two votes to each other Council member's counting as one. The current Council Chair is Erikr Haakon the King of Odhinnia.

[edit] Illegal Activities
It is rumored that Pirates are allowed free range in Scandinavian Syndicate controlled waters as long as they refrain from attacking vessels from nations that are protected by trade agreements. The rumor continues that the Syndicate gets a share in the looted cargo for allowing the Pirates to operate unhindered.
The Scandinavian Syndicate has on many occasions been accused of illegal plutonium, uranium, and various arms sales. All member nations deny these claims and insist they have strict policies on the sales of plutonium and uranium with background checks and documentation.
It is noted that some cargo vessels come with a heavy military escort but are clearly marked as civilian vessels. It is pure speculation on what these transports carry, but with an escort of battle-cruisers it can be safely said that the cargo is very important or is needed to be kept very secret, in both cases most likely illegal contraband.
There was at one time an accusation of Scandinavian Syndicate members relabeling products as being manufactured/produced in another member nation to comply with trade agreements or to sell to nations that the original manufacturing/producing nation did not have a favorable trade agreement with, or to nations that refuse to purchase goods from the original manufacturing/producing nation. All members have also denied these accusations.
[edit] Boycotts
Typically Communist made goods are not allowed in the borders of Scandinavian Syndicate members.
