What if Tirpitz wasn't sunk in the Norwegian fiord but just bottled up due to lack of fuel then taken over by the Norwegian Navy after '45 ? ???

I like it

Possible scenario:  somehow WW2 doesn’t happen (perhaps Hitler chokes on a nut) and the West gets more directly involved in the Finnish war against the USSR.

My favorite scenario to play out in Hearts of Iron, choosing Sweden and reunifying(/conquering) with Norway, Denmark and Finland in the 1930's, then WW2 becomes a four way fight between the Allies, Axis, Soviets and Swedish Empire :P

Does this GB need to focus just on the Scadinavian nations, or could also include Scadinavian-built equipment for nations outside of the region, just as the Saab 35 in Austria or the Strv 122 and CV90 in Ukraine?
