Grelli Islands

the Grelli Islands, or the just Grelli, is a North Atlantic archipelago located 89 kilometres (55 mi) west of Norway, and 67 kilometers (42 miles) between Norway and Iceland. It is an autonomous territory within the Republic of Grassland.

The terrain is rugged; the climate is subpolar oceanic climate (Cfc)—windy, wet, cloudy, and cool. Temperatures average above freezing throughout the year because of the Gulf Stream. As a result of the moderation and the northerly latitude, summers normally hover around 11°C (57°F). Average temperatures are 5 °C (41 °F) in winter. The northerly latitude location also results in perpetual civil twilight during summer nights and very short winter days.

Between 1209 and 1892 the Grelli Islands were part of Norway which was in a personal union with Denmark from 1450. In 1814 the Treaty of Kiel transferred Norway to the king of Sweden, on the winning side of the Napoleonic wars. In 1888 the Kingdom of Grassland declared war on Norway-Sweden to reclaim The Grelli Islands. They won and got them The Grelli Islands have been a self-governing part of the Republic of Grassland since 1990, controlling most areas apart from military defence, policing, justice, currency, and foreign affairs. Because the Grelli Islands are not part of the same customs area as Grassland, the country has an independent trade policy, and can establish trade agreements with other states. In the Nordic Council, they are represented as part of the Grasslandic delegation. In certain sports, the Grelli Islands field their own national teams.
