jan mayen

A Norwegian island with only 18 residents. Their primary export is gravel. It's known among the Victoria II community as a 15 man country able to create the Empire of Polar Bears and make Scandinavia a part of the Empire as well.

19th century European Newspaper: In other news, Jan Mayen has reformed under the Polar Bear Empire and expresses their intentions to annex Scandinavia under the rule of polar bears. No European country has responded to their intentions, and instead are attempting to create a valid casus belli against Sweden for letting an insane country of 15 adult males become an independent nation run by bears.
