The United Kingdom of Scandinavia was formed on May 17th 1507 under its first king, Erik III "The Unifier." Prior to unification, there were the separate kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Helsinki (Finland), Turku (Finland), and the Saami (Finland). The title of heir apparents is "HRM The Prince(ss) of Finland" To date Scandinavia practices male primogeniture (like other European countries). This means that if the Scandinavian Royals have a first-born that is a girl, she will lose her title as Princess of Finland to her younger brother- becoming the Prince of Finland.
