So here we are at a small demilitarised autonomous region in the middle of the Baltic Sea. It has 30 000 inhabitants, two local newspapers, 16 municipalities and quite a lot of local quirks. But how did we get here?

A brief and fairly chronological presentation on the history of the isles. Includes life in the archipelago, a royal hunting castle, a fleet of windjammers and MORE.
