I am sure germans and americans would disagree here :-)

I was thinking of splitting the Viking nation into two nations;
- a modern norwegian nation (one of the oldest democracies in
  Europe with a democratic constitution from 1814)
- a viking nation (with more correct city names and leaders)

The mix right now is kindof silly and the "city" names in
the Viking nation doesn't make sense for either.  I can probably
dig out a few books about the vikings and come up with a patch. 

And I also want names of leaders (for all nations) to be
translatable, which I will probably put in the same patch.
