The Calmar Union Flag
The Calmar Union of Denmark, Sweden and Norway was established AD 1389 and staid in power until 1521.
The Calmar Union was never declared null and void, but just ceased to be operative.
The Scandinavians were not willing to cooperate, but rather used the Union to improve on their own status.
Personal power and personal wealth are still given the highest priority.
