At an emergency Nordic Council meeting overnight, the governments of Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Iceland have decided to split the countries up into smaller units.
This is done in light of last nights Eurovision Song Contest results and the fact that dozens, even hundreds of points which the Nordic countries could give to each other are going to waste.
The Faroes, Greenland, Aland Islands, Jutland and Lapland will gain independence with immediate effect, and Scania, Svalbard and Kristiania are expected to follow shortly
The Government of Iceland has decided to contribute the Westman Islands, the Westfjords, and Flatey Island to the effort.
