Aland

The Kingdom of the Åland Islands is a nation comprising the over 6,500 islands and rocks located in the Åland archipelago, in the Baltic Sea. The islands are ruled by the Pulk dragon Kiruv, whose seaside palace is located in the city of Övernäs on the island of Fasta.

The islands were first settled around 7,000 years ago. Kiruv arrived to the islands in 649 AD and established a kingdom in the archipelago.

The islands' small size and strategic location in the Baltic between Sweden and Finland have meant that Kiruv has needed to play both sides of many conflicts to keep his kingdom intact. Remarkably, it has remained independent since it was founded. Its main industries are tourism and fishing.
