Nationalist Spain is a common name given to the Kingdom of Sweden between 1919 and 1924, when Sweden was lead by Konrad Hallgren and his Swedish National Party. During the period, Konrad and his government controlled most aspects of life, and destroyed all opposition to the party.
In May 1919, Hallgren and his party launched a coup on the Riksdag, kicking out all government members that didn't belong to the Party. He then went to demand Gustaf V to recognise him as the new Prime Minister of Sweden, to which the monarchy had no choice but to do so. Hallgren then began undemocratizing the country, starting to unleash his nationalist views. A new flag and anthem were adopted to represent the nationalism of Hallgren.
In 1921, Hallgren agreed to assist Germany in the Second Franco-Prussian War, but ultimately lost. This loss caused Hallgren's hold on power to decline, as the opposition grew stronger. Eventually, two rival factions arose - the Nationalists' Front, and the Liberal Government. The liberals won, and Hallgren was thrown from power.
