Well now with Scotland in your domain, you might have more citizens to settle the New World than you would with Denmark, so expect your New World subjects to be a bit more Scottish than Norwegian, which you probably won't mind. :)

Of course. The Varangian Guard is always needing more manpower. Perhaps you could draft soldiers to serve as the Emperor's bodyguards, and we could allow you to sail down the Dneiper and trade in the Black Sea and out through the Bosphorus and into the Mediterranean. You might be able to bring back a nice amount of Muslim slaves, thus weaking North Africa for Byzantine rule in the future. Oops, did I just foreshadow something? :D
