Excerpt from diplomatic review 1897


The Crowns desire to claim sovereignty over what has now become known as Doggerland has several obstacles to overcome.

First problem is the vast number of dispossessed Norwegian and Swedish refugees that have settled in the eastern and northern areas, also claimed by king Oscar for his people.

Second a vast portion of the land falls into what are traditionally Norwegian or Danish waters.

Thirdly, a large portion of the territory appears to be a wasteland of frozen salt marsh swamps in the winter and dried out dustbowls during the summer.

Forth, a population of short human like creatures seem to live around the area known as Dogger Hills, they appear quite civilized and some trading is already occurring between them and the Essex men.

The currently accepted boundary of British Crown holdings is the Silver River to the east and up as far as the River Tay, then north to the Shetland hills. The boundary to the south runs along the River Rhine.

Expansion south is certainly an option for consideration as no central authority has yet to emerge in France, and this is certainly something the German  Empire is aware of.
