None, I repeat, NONE of this is true. None, not a bit. I speak in lies. Oh yeah; I'm writing this from Mars, I am a martian. Oogy-oogy-snarckhlkuhfg! Anyway... back to Iceland, the forgotten super-power.

January 6th, 1937

"January 6th, 1937; the date of the independence of our island nation of Iceland. The day the descendents of Vikings declare that they have had enough with Danish oppression! And from this tiny volcanic speck of land, an empire will arise that the whole world will fear!" called an unknown man from the balcony of the capital of the Danish provence of Iceland, Reykjavik. This man would later be identified as Vilhjálmur Uglik, head of the Icelandic Communist Party, the little government, on a little island, with big plans...
 
Interesting, veryyyyyyyyyyy interesting, but schtupid. Hows the weather on Mars? I'll have to keep my eye on this one... like I have anything better to do!
 
January 7th, 1937
2nd day of Iceland's new power.

Vilhjálmur Uglik, now that he was effectively in power, needed allies. But there were few people to turn to. During this period of time Communism was a taboo in the world affairs, and now that a Sickle and Hammer flew over Iceland no one wanted to mettle with the new nation.
"Communist China, or the USSR themselves... I need an ally... we need an ally."
"Commrade, terrible news from the harbors."
"What now?!"
"Traitors! Fascists have seized the harbor and are threatening a coup'!"
"A what?! Disbatch the army!"
"Commrade, that is the next problem. The units stationed here were Danish, they left when you came to power!"
"Call up every able able-bodied man and woman to fight for our new-found freedom!"
"Right away, Commrade." Uglik turned to face the window over looking the harbor. Smoke climbed into the air as the remnents of the Danish Merchant Fleet sank to the bottom of the bay.
"An ally, pronto..."
"Can I be of assistantce?" said a voice.
"Who are you! How'd you get in here!" Uglik demanded.
"I had an appointment..." the man chuckled.
"We've been running for twenty-eight hours now, we don't take appointments yet."
"Then I'll take my buisness elsewhere..."
"Buisness... what buisness."
"The Red buisness. My name is Nikolai Yarkidagski, I am the newly appointed ammbassador to Iceland representing the Soviet Union..." Uglik's eye brighted, the light had come.
"Please, take a seat..." Uglik offered.
"Thank you. Funny how history repeats itself, is it not?"
"I don't see what you mean, I'm sorry."
"1917 to 1922 was the Russian Civil war, when the White army opposed the Red govrenment. And here we are, 1937, a new revolution, a new civil war, in a new nation. Funny, no?"
"It is pretty coincidental."
"No coincident, welcome to the Red Blok, people aren't always happy being in the middle class their whole life."
"Better than being poor, I guess."
"That is what Lenin said, I saw him before he died... but that is not important. What is important is that you will need an ally. The Danes are preparing to invade, they want their island back."
"How can we fend them off? We have no army!" Uglik exclaimed.
"Simple, the USSR has an army." Nikolai said cooly, "The USSR has leverage in Europe... It will take time, three months at most. But Soviet divisions will be here, we will defend you until you can build your own army. I believe your militia can hold off the Whites that long."
"I hope so... I hope so..."

Day 10

Vilhjálmur Uglik looking out the window says to Halldór commander of the militia "The Iceland people got lucky, The Danish army had to stop. This storm might be the best thing that happened to us. How is the militia holding up?”
Halldór says with delight “The militia is holding up, with only a few losses. I also bring good news, I have started an official army so far we are only in train stages but in 2 months I believe I can start putting men on the field.”
“Good, good.”
“From spies in Denmark we believe that the Denish army here will retreat, but will return in 3 months”
“We should be ready by then.”

Keflavik, Iceland,

“Aim, fire” Guns shooting at targets.
Halldór “Not good at all if this was the Danish army we would have all died”
“Sorry sir” The men in the army camp yelled.
Halldór with commend in his voice “Everybody leave your gun were it is and get to the training ground, you have to do 2 laps”
Halldór army started their exhausting labs. He spots the target that Brynja (a soldier) was shooting at and sees that he hit the target on the bull eye. “Brynja when you are done with your laps I want to see you in my office.”
Brynja stands tall sweating from his two laps “Yes Sir you wanted me.’
Halldór. “I have been eyeing you for the past days and I believe you would be ideal for a commander”
Brynja. “Thank you sir”
Halldór looks at his army and says under his mouth “We have three months, God save us all from the Danish”
 
Looks interesting. Just trying to figure out where you are going.

Hey don't diss icebergs. They sunk the Titanic, who knows what else they could do?

Imagine the American fleet coming to stop Iceland, only to have their fleet ambushed by thousands of icebergs! Glug glug glug...

BTW I like this so far, it's different. ;)
