Overview

Sweden-Norway

Sweden and Norway or Sweden–Norway, officially the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway, was a personal union of the separate kingdoms of Sweden and Norway under a common monarch and common foreign policy from 1814 to 1905, before Sweden accepted Norway's leaving the union. Both states kept their separate constitutions, laws, legislatures, administrations, state churches, armed forces, and currencies; the kings mostly resided in Stockholm, where foreign diplomatic representations were located. The Norwegian government was initially presided over by viceroys: Swedes until 1829, Norwegians until 1856. That office was later vacant and then formally abolished in 1873. Foreign policy was conducted through the Swedish foreign ministry until the dissolution of the union in 1905.

Oscar II

Oscar II, baptised Oscar Fredrik, was King of Sweden from 1872 until his death and King of Norway from 1872 until 1905. The third son of King Oscar I of Sweden and Josephine of Leuchtenberg, he was a descendant of Gustav I of Sweden through his mother. 

Dawn of Man

Hail to the last King of the union of Sweden and Norway, Oscar II. A distinguished artist, academic, and statesman, you oversaw the peaceful seperation of Norway from an almost hundred year union with Sweden, as well as the institution of the office of Prime Minister in both Stockholm and Oslo. Remarked for your love and patronage of the arts and sciences, and confided in for your acute diplomacy, your reign over Sweden and Norway was both enlightened and ceremonious, and you remain beloved in the hearts of Swedes and Norwegians alike.

Art by Janboruta

Respected King, the dual kingship of Sweden and Norway once more lies within your trust. Can you bring to both realms peace and harmony, and ensure prosperity and good health for your subjects? Can you build a civilization that can stand the test of time?

Introduction: "Greetings, my friend. I am Oscar II, King of Sweden and King of Norway. I must confess, I've been long awaiting our meeting."

Introduction: "Welcome to the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway. I am Oscar II, her King. Now, shall we adjourn to somewhere more comfortable?"

Defeat: "This humble King was not made for war and conflict. I trust you to offer the protection that my people need to survive this violent world."
