Late era faction description by Cro_Hunger999 added in the OP.

[Dansk viking]

One (nitpicky) thing that will seriously annoy any Dane picking up IS, is that the Danes speak Swedish. A much much better choice is to use German (and perhaps for the names as well). A lot of the military and court at the time was German speaking, so it makes sense, while them speaking Swedish really does not (even though it might be appealing to a non-Scandinavian because the languages are similar - though with very different pronunciation). I've made this change to the IS DB pack file myself, but I really recommend it being done officially as well (this, I see now, was suggested by me back in 2009...).

EDIT: Turns out there's already Danish names present, just unused. They're somewhat wrong though, with many weird names, and lacking a lot of common noble families etc. that would be around in the 18th century. I'll look into making use of that and correcting the names.
