    Austria-Hungary was a little bit more than personal union but less than a united kingdom. Each had ther own parliaments but there was coordination between them.

    Norway was not fully sovereign. One reason the Norwegian parliament chooses the Nobel peace prize winner is that at the time, Norway had not control over its foreign affairs.

    I hear there's plenty of empty, potato-growing land in Siberia... How expensive can that be?
