Nordhalic

Nordhalic is a term used primarily in speculative fiction and hypothetical geopolitical discourse to describe a northern European cultural and political bloc. It is not an official designation and there is no single canonical definition. In different works, Nordhalic may refer to a geographic region, a political confederation, or a cultural identity anchored in Nordic and Baltic heritage.

In fictional contexts, Nordhalic commonly denotes a union or alliance among Nordic and sometimes Baltic states, often characterized by a strong welfare-state model, environmentally focused policy, technological innovation, and a preference for multilateral diplomacy. Some authors imagine it as a successor or alternative to existing transnational structures, while others present Nordhalic as a cultural revival movement that emphasizes language preservation, traditional craftsmanship, and regional autonomy within a larger European framework.

Origins and usage are diverse; the term has appeared across books, games, and speculative essays since the late 20th century without a unified canon. Because of its fictional nature, Nordhalic does not reflect current governmental status or policy and should be treated as a literary or hypothetical construct rather than a real entity.
