if you enjoy me dragging sweden through the dirt and exposing all of its sins you will enjoy my WIP The Children of the Moon. it is a high fantasy novel where the setting is inspired by 1930s sweden, and the story and worldbuilding borrows from swedish history

adoption like this is a part of genocide btw. it is a way to sever children from their culture and assimilating them into the imperial core that in turn circle back to assisting in the genocide through taxes, paying exploutative companies, joining the imperial military, etc.
