The Anjala League
The war with Target Country was going well enough until a large contingent of Finnish nobles, calling themselves the 'Anjala League,' betrayed us. Not only did they secretly meet with our enemies, they did so in the hopes that Target Country would support their bid to form an independent Finnish state in exchange.
This sort of perfidy would normally be resolved with a few well-deserved executions, but we will be unable to win this war without the exemplary military leadership these officers provide. Yet if we capitulate, we will look weak for allowing our own officers to make treasonous demands of their own sovereign. We must decide carefully which outcome is the least damaging to Country's position on the world stage.

1198historical_info = flavor_swe.23.historical_info Gustavus III, the 'Theater King', declared war on Russia in the summer of 1788. His main goals were to reclaim the honor of the Swedish military, retake some land that had been lost to Russia in previous wars, and - perhaps most importantly - to put a stop to the incessant Russian meddling in Swedish politics. At the time, Sweden had a magnificent fleet and a rather effective army, but most of the officers could be described as politicians rather than soldiers. The Swedish army began marching on Saint Petersburg and won some minor battles despite the compact resistance from the officers. On August 12, a group of 112 Finnish noble officers formed the 'Anjala League' and opened up negotiations with the Russians, declaring the war to be illegal and probing for the possibility of an independent Finnish state. This event effectively ended all hopes of a Swedish victory since the king was in a poor position to execute the traitors and have them replaced.
