Official description

Europa Universalis: Crown of the North is a real-time grand strategy video game developed by Paradox Interactive.
The game takes place in the years between 1275 and 1340 in a time where nobility and the church held all the power and Sweden was about to launch into its only civil war. Play as Norway, Sweden or Denmark and plot to change the historical legacy of a region seldom explored.

It is the sequel to Svea Rike and Svea Rike II, as well as a prequel to Two Thrones. The Svea Rike series is the predecessors to Europa Universalis. All events that takes place in the game, except for those which the player evoke himself, are completely historically correct.
