In this database I have created a three level Scandinavian league system featuring 60 clubs in total and taking over the Norwegian league system!
Clubs included in the league system hail from either Norway, Denmark or Sweden. I've also included a handful of clubs from Iceland and Finland to add even more diversity to the leagues despite them not being Scandinavian countries. major clubs included in the leagues include, FC Kobenhavn, Brondby, Molde, Rosenborg and Malmo!
Check out my YouTube video below where I've simulated 50 seasons of the database!

looks very good, just a shame that it doesn't follow all the other big leagues in Europe so the season starts in July instead of March

Several changes should be considered:
Deactivating the other countries
Changing the league names and deactivating third division
Changing the rules off the league (foreigners etc because other nations in Scandinavia are now considered foreigners)
Prize Money
Reputation
Coefficient (Uefa ranking points should be equal to every country today, or at least higher)
