Basic Information
In 1949 the Second Treaty of Skagerrak was singed. Following this treaty Ringerike and Sannlibo became formally two independent nations and by that the Union split up. Each one retained its own political bodies, while the political bodies of the Union were dissolved. Only the King maintained his position as head of state for both nations, but his title was reduced back to King of Ringerike.

In the negotiations for the Second Treaty of Skaggerak, Theyka replaced Gardarike in the role of the mediator.

History
The negotiations for the Second Treaty of Skagerrak began when sannlig nationalists and nationalist parties gained a massive popularity during the 40s. The polls for the upcoming elections showed a massive potential for the nationalist and right-wing parties. To prevent a nationalist win and a right-wing government, the sannlig government pushed for a new treaty and used the calm relationship, which Ringerike and Sannlibo had gained recently, for their advantage.

The negotiations began in may 1948 and continued until summer 1949, the Second Treaty of Skagerrak was then signed and ratified at the end of august 1949, so that it could come into power in september 1949.
