Wampanoagmark Fylk (The Kalmar Union)

Wampanoagmark Fylk is autonomous province of Álengiamark in the northeast of the country. To the south lies the Fylk of Sudeevik and to the north is Passamaquoddia. It largest city and capital Akinnahborg is on the Atlantic coast. It is the smallest territorially of Álengiamark's fylk and the second smallest by population.

History
The Wampanoag people formed the most stubborn and warlike of the tribes which the early Norse settlers in Leifia met. When second and third generations of Vinlanders looked to expand their farms it would be the Wampanoags who would repeatedly drive them back out out of the islands and peninsulas of what would become Sudervik. It would take two wars, one of which was branded a crusade to attract attention from distant Europe, to momentarily subdue the tribe and the tribe was divided between the nascent Álengsk government coalescing in St. Hafdiss and the lands under the Passamaquoddy kings.

Divided, Christianised, and ruled over either by the Norse incomers or local tribes they had once dominated the Wampanoags did not however lose their identity. They converted to Lutheranism en masse in the 1530s thanks to preachers trained in Passamaquoddia and in 1560s as the Leifian War of Religion began to gather pace they were coerced into revolting against the Catholic crown by Vinlandic diplomats eager to make common cause.

The rebellion would falter and fail but would become the backbone for a 'national myth' which would sustain the tribe through the dark period after the war's close. As forced reconversion was implemented many of the fallen Lutheran priests and military leaders were venerated as martyrs. After the country was reorganised during the reign of Herridr I rather than split between multiple competing cities, ecclesiastical estates and minor lords, the Álengsk Wampanoag found themselves united once more within Sudervik Fylk. This unity came much at the same time as a opening up of the country's education system which allowed for the dissemination of history, the recovery of the language (which had been in steep decline) and the formation of several Wampanaog Natieonalist groups. The northeast of Sudervik was soon regularly voting for Wampanoag candidates its parts accepted federation quicker than elsewhere. It officially became a Fylk in October 1735.

Its economy has long depended on cereal crops and flour milling and its fast flowing rivers were perfect for powering water mills, not only for flour but for running looms as the Industrial Revolution took hold. However its physical separation from the rest of Álengiamark meant it was reliant more on the Vinlandic economy, especially on Fjallasay downstream on the Breidurass, rather than the growing Álengsk towns and cities. The completion of the Erie canal in 1911 lessened this and allowed a much needed boost to its economy. Part of the Breidurass has been diverted for hydro-electric projects which power the entire Fylk.
