["Daniel Markstedt" <himasaram@xxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=13918 >

I haven't got any feedback for my work on the splitting of Viking and 
Norwegian nation, so I'm posting this in a new ticket. The original 
discussion is in ticket #3594. I'll post a patch when everyone agrees 
on the details.

Changes to Danish nation:

- Removed comment about charset: Everything is Unicode now.
- Moved ruler Gudfred to Viking nation (king before establishment of 
Danish nation).
- Moved Hammarskjöld to Swedish nation (he was a Swede).
- Naming Svend -> Svend Estridsen
- Naming Knud -> Knud den Hellige
- Naming Valdemar -> Valdemar III (all according to 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Danish_monarchs)
- Erik Klipping -> Erik Glipping (native Danish spelling).
- Added two modern politicians
- Added two Nordic civilwar_nations.

Changes to Swedish nation:

- Formatting of legend.
- Erik Segergäll -> Erik Segersäll (typo).
- Added Oscar and Hammarskjöld
- Added Nordic civilwar_nations
- Moved Birka to Viking nation and removed comment about the city.
- Added cities Lödöse, Kalix, Burträsk

Changes to Viking nation (compared to drafts in ticket):

- Margrete, Gorm den Gamle, Harald Blåtand and Knud den Store moved to 
Danish nation.
- Added Swedish viking Styrbjörn Sterki.
- Put the leaders in rough chronological order
- Removed Christiania (17th century name: not Viking age) and Miklagard 
(Viking name for Istanbul).
- Renamed Kaupang -> Skiringssal: the Viking age name of the city. Read 
more at http://www.kaupang.uio.no/eng/about/background.html
- Added Torshavn, Ribe, Hedeby plus very large number of cities from 
http://home.online.no/~olhov/sted.html

Changes to Norwegian nation (compared to drafts in ticket):

- Added two modern kings.

The bottom line is that medieval Norway still is represented by the 
Viking nation: Most Viking rulers are medieval Norwegian kings. The 
main change is that modern Norwegian cities and rulers are moved to the 
new Norwegian nation.

About flags:
Attaching two variants of Gunfani (raven) flag and two variants of 
Longship (viking boat) flag. Pick the best one!
