1	An AlternateHistory written by Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom member D'Valdron, author of ''Literature/GreenAntarctica''. Inspired by ''Literature/LandsOfRedAndGold'', it features the Thule culture (also known as the Inuit) developing a peculiar agriculture package in the 7th century that allows them to build an agricultural society in the Arctic. The Thule realm (not a united nation) stretches from eastern Siberia across Alaska and northern Canada to Greenland, and even all the way to places like Svalbard.
