by the 2030s. Not much else to say. To recap: Kalmar union acts as one of world’s tolerant, non-eco-fascist lifeboats in time of climate chaos and mass migration. In long-term, Kalmar helps create new human communities in novel environments

Terrible name! The Kalmar union was pure Dano-Swedish exploitation. Otherwise, yeah, cool idea. But incompatible with NATO & the EU. How to navigate that?

Hanseatic League 2.0 :D Extends the functionality of an existing legal structure for a new purpose. Not the first time this has been done. Just extend it to every Northern European state with coastal waters. :D

The difference, though, is that Hanseatic League is essentially about making it safe to make money. Which is fine, but not what Kalmar is about. Kalmar is skunk-works for ordered freedom and modernity in case the shit hits the fan at particularly nasty angles

If your customers are running for their lives, then it's hard to make a profit from them. Call it "Seeding the Future Market" when you're talking with Capitalists. Call it "Saving Lives" when you're talking with Humanist funders. Pragmatic approach to dealing with funders.
