Welcome, Count Harald!

Welcome to Cimmeria.
Cimmeria has a long history: it was possibly founded as one of Ryan Caruso's various nation projects in 2000, and was an independent territory of Shireroth by 2001. It's the site of two famous battles: the Battle of Cimmeria, an official Shirerithian holiday celebrated every year on February 19th, and the Battle of Wolfraven, in which Kaiser Los II won his throne.
Its largest city and only major landmark, Wolfraven, is now owned by Nordland, but that's okay. I'm sure you'll give it some new places of interest.
Ethnically, Cimmeria is about 50% Cimmerian. The Cimmerians are racially different from the other Elw and used to control a large part of the northern Benacian continent; they even threatened to invade Shirekeep at one point. Of the rest, about 20% are Hyperborean, 20% are Vikings from Wintergleam, and 10% are mainland Elw, southern Shirerithian, or other.
You'll probably want to concentrate on the Viking minority, who live mostly on the southern few islands. That's okay. Just don't rename the island chain into something Norse, and we'll get along fine.
I hereby release you from all serious feudal obligations and promise not to order you around or anything. I'll probably let you be Baron here after I spend another month or two with the title, but I'm enjoying it now.
I'll also probably meddle in Cimmerian culture a little, especially any parts you neglect, but feel free to tell me to go away or say that my meddling isn't canon if you want.
In celebration of your ascension to the throne of Cimmeria, and the union of the great city of Avaldsnes with the Barony of Kai-Raikoth, I hereby present you with a tapestry upon which the finest Hyperborean artisans have drawn an image of your beloved Avaldsnes for you. I think it will look good in your palace.
Let this tapestry be a symbol of the bonds between our two people and of the new, greater Kai-Raikoth that is to come!
Yours,
Scott Alexander
